  3. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    DeeAngel replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I read an article by a vet the other day about how more and more clients are refusing vaccinations for their pets! Parvo, distemper, rabies. WTH

  4. Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

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

    I never pick up unless I am OK with working that night. Do not feel guilty, they would rather call and hound current staff to come in to work instead of training and maintaining a larger float pool...

  5. I Have The Time and Other Lies

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

    While I understand the reasons for carrying phones I think it is horribly rude to interrupt speaking with a patient to answer the phone!. All the faux feel good contrived things they have us do will...

    DeeAngel replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nursing shortage

    DeeAngel replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in General Nursing

    They have to give lip service to the myth that they themselves perpetuate in order to get students to flock to their

  8. Students asking for free money

    DeeAngel replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    If people are going to put themselves out there by publicly begging for money then they get to accept the judgement, commenting and opinions that go along with that. What you put out into the world,...

    DeeAngel replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Wrong

  10. Students asking for free money

    DeeAngel replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Entitled people will do this as long as people are dumb enough to give them money. These sites are like a scammers wet dream and I believe only a very few are genuine postings when the money will go...

  11. Am I being investigated?

    DeeAngel replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Somethings up and it sounds like they are fishing. Call your insurance carrier now and ask them what exactly you should do. I am of the opinion you should have legal representation with

  12. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    DeeAngel replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I remember the long mass polio vaccination lines. I also remember the horribly ill and deformed, deaf, blind infants born with mothers exposed to measles and it being spoken about in hushed voices....

  13. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    DeeAngel replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work on an extremely busy 48 bed zoo of a med/surg unit. 4 days out of 7 none of the nurses on day shift have more than 1.2 years of nursing experience because they are ALL new graduates....

  14. how many nursing students/nurses believe they were abused, bullied, by nursing school inst

    DeeAngel replied to gracie lewis's topic in General Students

    I am going to go out on a limb here and say that if you have a Generalized Anxiety Disorder, nursing and nursing school is going to be so difficult that I would encourage you to look for other...

  15. What to Do When the Doctor Throws the Nurse Under the Bus by Lying

    DeeAngel replied to blackdiamond407's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    File an incident report over the note and another because of the delay in care. Save a copy or screenshot of every. single. thing. you. do. Start of your paper trail and please, please do not...

  16. Baby RN's running ICU?!!

    DeeAngel replied to kmarieCCRN's topic in Critical Care

    From my recent experiences this is not at all unusual. Night shift has more experienced nurses with probably a normal rate of turnover so there is always someone in charge that has several years of...

  17. The "increase minimum wage" issue.

    DeeAngel replied to shermrn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I want to know when it became expected for jobs to pay a wage good enough to live on? These low paying jobs have always been filled by housewives, students, part time workers, retirees, second job...

  18. What is My Family Thinking?

    DeeAngel replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You say you were disinvited? In that case I would "do the right thing" and send them an explicit and full list of everything that she needs in the way of care, time, staff, medications, treatments,...

  19. Please stop! Little things that are just bad practice.

    DeeAngel replied to JBudd's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Its not allowed where I work, its considered bad practice, I believe it has to do with JACHO. I just know admin is adamant that we not longer do that, but use alcohol laced caps instead. They come...

  20. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    DeeAngel replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "I hear people here complain that, 'I don't want to risk my license!' where they are now working. I think that's a bunch of hooey. They are trying to sugar coat their unprofessional decision to leave...

  21. Out of control visitors

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

    Two years ago mine was a brand new hospital and this reminds me of two separate incidents. The first was we had two guest family rooms available for family that was from out of town or what have you,...

  22. Whooping cough redux; your story?

    DeeAngel replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great news in New York: New York federal judge rules that schools can suspend unvaccinated kids from class during disease outbreaks. I hope the wisdom spreads to all the states. You don't vaccinate,...

  23. NY Med - a great reminder about social media and nursing

    DeeAngel replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I forgot to say, as mild as what this transgression seems to be, if I was in the hospital's place I too would have terminated this person. Not to do so sets a precedent that this is OK to do. If...

  24. NY Med - a great reminder about social media and nursing

    DeeAngel replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    Seriously no one should speak of or post any image about their hospital online anywhere, ever. Unless you are the hospital PR rep, don't even think of doing this because no good will come of it. I...

  25. why nursing is a mess. three simple facts

    DeeAngel replied to chillnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't get that stuff either, it all seems like a contrived scheme to demonstrate competence and professionalism at an imaginary level. Glad that at 61 I am now officially retired. The scripting,...
