  1. Shift change rant

    DeeAngel replied to Nurse Molly's topic in General Nursing

    At 6:01 you go up to them and ask "do you want to do report here or go sit down"? It is on them to be prepared to receive report on time, not on you to wait for them. They will let you wait as long...

    DeeAngel replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

  7. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    DeeAngel replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't think it would show up on any background check but the important thing is that you stop now as in never do it again from this moment in time. I doubt you would ever be recognized by a...

  8. Is the BSN worth it?

    DeeAngel replied to NurseCalamity's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, it's worth it. If you want to move into management it will give you the flexibility to do so. It's also easier to do it now than in 10 years when you're burned out and have to get a BSN if you...

    DeeAngel replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. To tell or not to tell!

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

    Nothing good is going to come out of telling on these people. They will find out who did it and can make your work life miserable. If you were going to tell you needed to do so when the incident...

  20. Which to follow: MD or Policy?

    DeeAngel replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I would follow policy otherwise there is a risk of being thrown under the bus by the doctor and the facility the second something goes wrong. Trusting people to be stand up people can end very badly...

  24. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    DeeAngel replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

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

    All this is geared towards giving off the illusion and pretense of giving good care, it's just putting a false veneer on everything. Managment doesn't give a crap about staff or patients others that...
