  2. When a patient signs out AMA...

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

    Unless you work for the insurance company they have coverage with you have no business telling patients this. In many cases it's just not true. My experience with AMA patients is that tend to be...

  3. Can I be rehired?

    DeeAngel replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    The only people who can accurately answer your question is the health care system you are considering applying to. No one on the internet can give you an accurate

    DeeAngel replied to HopefulRN7's topic in Home Health

    I would always wear gloves to do this, if the family doesn't want to bother with that, that's on

  5. Nursing Professor or School Nurse? -What is your opinion

    DeeAngel replied to desiruns's topic in General Nursing

    You do not want to be a school nurse and deal with the parents plus they tend to be the first thing cut from budgets. I've heard sooooo many horror stories about

  6. Administering pt supplied mess from OPEN multi-dose vials. Opinions?

    DeeAngel replied to IncognitoRN2013's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would change jobs before I would do this because if anything negative ever happens as a result all the fingers will be pointed at you and you will be thrown under the bus so fast it will make your...

  7. Dealing with mean docs

    DeeAngel replied to MillyPeets1234's topic in Operating Room

    This is a hostile work environment. Since you said you had a meeting I would see how that goes before doing anything further. Depending on what they have to say I would consider consulting with an...

  8. Psych nurses being forced to float to med surg and tele?

    DeeAngel replied to lovetosleep's topic in Psychiatric

    They will try to pull any warm body they can. They used to try to pull me to the telemetry unit until I would remind them I am not a cardiac trained nurse, don't have cardiac experience and can...

  9. Should I let my interviewer know that I had failed the NCLEX twice before passing?

    DeeAngel replied to nursechansey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. Reported for this?

    DeeAngel replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    She's right. Mom can prepare the formula in front of me or I can prepare it myself. No other choice would be acceptable to me, not even the mom pouring formula she mixed earlier into the bag because...

  11. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    Is it a possibility to transfer within your hospital to a position that doesn't involve weekend work or at least not as much weekend work as the floor

  12. Weed and work.

    DeeAngel replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking for myself only here I would marginalize that person in my life, and lose contact with him. There is guilt by association and this is just not something you need in your life. Lose him and...

  13. Weed and work.

    DeeAngel replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I worked did an initial screening only. Then once employed you would only be tested if drugs disappeared or diversion was suspected. I worked there for 5 years and was never drug...

  14. So fed up with my coworker

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

    She works PRN for the facility, not PRN as you need her to work. That's a big difference. All you can do is never cover for her if she would ever ask you but other than that the only thing that is...

  15. Why is EFM cert. a requirement for L an D

    DeeAngel replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't read the EFM strips how on earth can you justify being able to work in

  16. Pregnant and asking pts to wear masks

    DeeAngel replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The world doesn't stop or change because you made the choice to bear a child, it is on you to wear a mask to protect yourself. It is not the patient's responsibility to wear a mask to protect you,...

  17. Am I going into the right profession or should I just

    DeeAngel replied to Soon2beStudent's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you have money do not work as a nurse, the liability and public greed simply are not worth it IMHO. It's the reason I no longer work as a nurse. Even though I have malpractice insurance I just...

    DeeAngel replied to notah's topic in General Nursing

    Jobs before a honeymoon unless you can afford to remain unemployed for a long period of time possibly. I can't imagine any facility accommodating a honeymoon in the midst of orientation. If you...

  21. Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    DeeAngel replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Start looking for another job, document absolutely everything and leave. You are working for a bullying, lying psychopath. You have to be at work to abandon patients, not just refusing to work an...

  22. Patient videos on social media?

    DeeAngel replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors right, they shouldn't be posting those videos under any circumstances, it's just foolish. I would feel obligated to report this to

    DeeAngel replied to iliket0fuu's topic in Patient Medications

    Of course I have. I also once put a full syringe of Lorazepam in my pocket in an emergency with a combative patients and it somehow got squeezed out all over my uniform with the cap still on. Stuff...

  24. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    DeeAngel replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You get more respect because these people have not yet caught the disease of entitlement that too many people have. Nursing is still considered an important and respected profession in most of those...

    DeeAngel replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Get out. I'm not being overly dramatic, that place is a lawsuit waiting to happen and I can promise you that you will be the first one thrown under the bus. If you do not have personal malpractice...
