    DeeAngel replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am all in favor of Universal Healthcare but I am not willing to pay more in taxes than I already

  2. Passing out in the OR....

    DeeAngel replied to HealthNut12's topic in General Nursing

    I used to pass out as a student frequently. It wasn't so much what I was seeing that bothered me as much as standing still in one place for a long period of time. I found that moving, in as much as...

  3. HIPAA and talking about patients

    DeeAngel replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    If the hospital ever checks or does a search to see who is blogging about what, your blog may come up. The hospital may take a very dim view of you blogging about patients even if you're not...

  4. Curious About the Nursing Career..............

    DeeAngel replied to TCLA's topic in General Nursing

    Do as everyone else has suggested and get the problem addressed and sorted out NOW, nsg school is not the time to start dealing with it. Take remedial classes, tutoring, do whatever you have to do to...

  5. Dealing with Violent Children

    DeeAngel replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what Rhone has to say. If you have the discussion and nothing changes then it is time to disengage as much as humanly possible from these people. There is a reason why those kids are...

  6. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    DeeAngel replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So nurses are irresponsible when they call in sick. Wouldn't it be the other way around, that you are irresponsible when you go TO work

    DeeAngel replied to melz34's topic in General Nursing

    Punctuation would make that huge run on sentence much easier to

  8. Hospital Unit Clerk?

    DeeAngel replied to lillian20's topic in General Nursing

    Go for the nursing degree! Many places are phasing Unit Clerks out or not replacing them and what jobs there are can be difficult to find. I've been one for that last year and a half and they now...

  9. How to get rid of BAD BREATH

    DeeAngel replied to skippy2000's topic in General Nursing

    Have you actually seen a Periodontist to be evaluated for periodontal disease? Many regular dentists just are not always quick to truly evaluate for this. My crazy x is a dentist and he would get...

  10. Overtime not paid at time and a half? Is this common?

    DeeAngel replied to barefootlady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The institution doesn't get to decide whether or what they are going to pay in the form of overtime, because it is mandated by state law. File a report about this matter with your state's wage and...

  11. Should spelling count?

    DeeAngel replied to betc's topic in General Nursing

    Spelling does count and I think those that say it doesn't are doing themselves a huge disservice! Not to say I don't make a lot of spelling errors, but I do use spellcheck and try to proofread...

  12. How much math is needed to be an RN?

    DeeAngel replied to jen122's topic in General Nursing

    It should not be a problem. When you get to the part where you need to do math calculation and be tested just prepare by doing the reading and working all the practice questions. There are tons of...

  13. should i study for 2nd semester finals or go to my grandmothers 75th anniversary?

    DeeAngel replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely stay home and study! Write your GM a nice long letter enclosed in a big beautiful card. There is no way I would want you to risk your education coming to my BD if I was your GM. She will...

  14. Weird Question about Breath Smell

    DeeAngel replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    What you are smelling is rampant periodontal disease that has gone unchecked and untreated for years. Brushing, using mouthwash will do nothing for it. The Periodontist needs to go in, lay flaps and...

  15. Bling on the job?

    DeeAngel replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in ICU with a woman who also had a beautiful ring with a large stone. Changing the sheets one day the stone was somehow lost out of the setting. We scoured that floor in the ICU but we...

  16. Poverty to Prosperity......

    DeeAngel replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is the very fact that society does take care of what parents can't or won't that encourages parents to not limit the number of children they have. Why should they, they can breed like crazy and...

  17. Poverty to Prosperity......

    DeeAngel replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would like to see strong emphasis on birth control and have free sterilizations available to people who desire it. I do not feel it is my responsibility to take care of the children born to people...
