  1. Being blamed for fall after shift

    DeeAngel replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I worked it was indeed counted as a

  2. Hostile families

    DeeAngel replied to KC,RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hostels provide budget-oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom. If you mean hostile families, that means something...

  3. please help Drug Diversion

    DeeAngel replied to dago1000's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Immediately get a drug panel run privately at your own expense and for your own

  4. Is it really that bad?

    DeeAngel replied to Sage611's topic in General Nursing

    Many clinic settings employe LPNs, NP and medical assistants, not RNs. You mentioned assisted living, all the ones I know of hire only LPNs. I retired at age 60 because I just got tired of the...

  5. Being called in to work extra.. ALL. THE. TIME!

    DeeAngel replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stop answering your phone when they call! It isn't hard to figure out how to deal with

  6. Am I doing the right thing?

    DeeAngel replied to 7colorsrainbow's topic in General Nursing

    What you did was a huge HIPAA violation, be prepared for

  7. Open confrontation with unit attending-advice?

    DeeAngel replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would write an incident report and turn it in. Might as well start getting his behavior put into documentation with the

    DeeAngel replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Document every little thing and take it HR along with your hostile work environment complaint. The more who do this the better, this is completely

  9. Obese Nurses

    DeeAngel replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I do know one nurse who had to quit when our old hospital moved to their new hospital building because the walk from the staff parking lot into the hospital was too long for her to handle. She just...

  10. 11 years ago, positive UDS, can I get a job?!

    DeeAngel replied to SNRN2BE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think the keyword "relevant" gives you plausible deniability here. Your military service is irrelevant because it was not healthcare related, which IMHO makes it not relevant to their question as...

  11. So I kind of messed up

    DeeAngel replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    I'm baffled as to how you can claim to be a nurse yet get such egregiously false

  12. Can you become a nurse with a criminal record?

    DeeAngel replied to jazzy5890's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The only people who can give you an accurate answer is the BON of the state where you intend to get your license. Anecdotal stories from other nurses from different states is essentially meaningless....

  13. Psychiatric History - Can I still become a nurse?

    DeeAngel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you are only able to go to school due to the support of your parents I seriously question how you will handle the intense stress of nursing school and working on the floor. Before committing to...

  14. "Your job is to make me happy"

    DeeAngel replied to Nurse216's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Only they are responsible for making themselves happy. I think your response was

  15. being a home health nurse if you have allergies and asthma?

    DeeAngel replied to hmlawrence0729's topic in Home Health

    Ive heard too many horror stories of filthy homes, full of bugs, animals and junk. I think you would quickly run into homes that you just wouldn't be able to go into. IMHO home health would not be a...

  16. Patient refusal to shower-neglect?

    DeeAngel replied to MissxPriss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, it's not neglect. Document the refusal yourself, pass it on in report to the next CNA and report it to the nurse working with you. The patient has every right to refuse no matter how stinky they...

  17. My father's health information

    DeeAngel replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to report something of this nature IMHO it's always best to report it directly to the top resource, not someone who works for the facility or a complaint to the charge nurse. Always...

  18. Don't go to co-workers' parties where drinking is occurring

    DeeAngel replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have one drink then switch to Perrier with a twist, get mental popcorn and watch it all go down. It will never be me that makes a fool of

  19. When a patient complains

    DeeAngel replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    This will be not the first time someone will complain about something and there will be more complaints in your future. The public has become very entitled through "customer service" pandering....

  20. Why would you give this up??

    DeeAngel replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School

    It's just my opinion but I think she's out of her mind to consider this. Ask her if she's ok with sleeping only a handful of hours before getting up and doing it all over again and then walking a...

  21. Angry..

    DeeAngel replied to JellyDonut's topic in Critical Care

    This diploma nurse does not feel your obvious distain, lack of professionalism, immature and denigrating comments are appropriate on a forum that counts many diploma nurses as members. The facility...

  22. Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    DeeAngel replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry but this sounds really unprofessional to me. I could see leeway in pediatrics, maternity or maybe an outpatient clinic, but otherwise this would be a no for

  23. Work declining vacation request?

    DeeAngel replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Never commit to a vacation until you have written authorization for the time off, not just a verbal OK! I would be very surprised if you got the time off in the summer being new and with many others...

  24. I'm a new hire & want to start making protocol changes

    DeeAngel replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

    Take lots of notes, but learn how to be a fully well rounded, experienced nurse before you go suggesting changes. Your very first project and priority must be making yourself into an excellent...

  25. Scrubs: Are Colorful Ones Unprofessional?

    DeeAngel replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I hate seeing nurses in so called "fun" scrubs unless they work pediatrics or maybe maternity with baby themes. It doesn't look cute or fun to me, just unprofessional. I always take pride in my...
