    DeeAngel replied to esrun2010's topic in General Nursing

  6. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    DeeAngel replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Dump these people from your life as much as it's possible to do so. You are being used and used badly. If that one person doesn't have enough money for milk for her baby I suggest she get a job...

    DeeAngel replied to rudeRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    DeeAngel replied to cgSN2010's topic in General Nursing

  13. Fired!!

    DeeAngel replied to cjveronica's topic in General Nursing

  16. Uniforms and dress codes

    DeeAngel replied to inkedRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have to wear navy or white pants and white tops. That's it, and we have to launder our own as well. All the pretty uniforms and prints out there and that's what we're stuck with.

    DeeAngel replied to miluevano's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think Nursing Made Incredibly Easy magazine has the most useful information you will use every day you work. Some of the other magazines are very dry with not much practical information to help you...

  20. Should I tell my employer why I'm really leaving?

    DeeAngel replied to nursngstudent05's topic in General Nursing

    DeeAngel replied to mmtk's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    DeeAngel replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

  24. Nurses/patient care/cell phones

    DeeAngel replied to snuggles49's topic in General Nursing

    We are required to carry phones but since I work night shift it's not a big problem for me. However when I worked as a Unit Secretary on day shift I was calling the nurses all the time only to...
