  1. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    DeeAngel replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    "That won't be possible". Thats all you need to say, do not explain justify or rationalize. Lather rinse repeat as often as

  2. Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    DeeAngel replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    Never go to your superiors about drug or alcholol issues, you simply cannot trust them as this post demonstrates. Seek outpatient treatment on your own and speak of it to no one outside of your...

  3. Does surrender/revoke license question :(

    DeeAngel replied to Nurse20112017's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Get this post removed from the internet immediately and contact an attorney specializing in legal nursing issues. Your malpractice insurer should be able to give you

  4. Nursing Ethics Question!

    DeeAngel replied to Nugget's topic in Psychiatric

    If you see if happening I would report it, as well as chart what I saw. I would keep extremely careful notes on this situation because it stinks to high heaven. In the meantime look for a new job...

  5. Private duty patient orientation

    DeeAngel replied to middleagednurse's topic in Private Duty

    Since I have never worked with trachs, children or ventilators I would expect a complete orientation. IMHO I would never work agency for the reason that they just throw you into situations and expect...

  6. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    DeeAngel replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot accurately assess all aspects of the patient without waking them up and yes, some places expect you to wake everyone up for assessments. Its beyond

  7. Older nurses

    DeeAngel replied to poopylala's topic in General Nursing

    All the older nurses I knew either retired, went to less physically demanding units or quit the floor for desk jobs. It is simply too abusive to the body to work a busy floor when you're older. The...

  8. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    DeeAngel replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    You were off work and not around to apply for the position, the other nurse was around, applied and got the position. There is no discrimination here only a matter of personal priorities and lack of...

  9. Am I too old to become an RN??

    DeeAngel replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't understand posts like this. Do your own due diligence and figure out if its for you or not. It's up to the school to decide if youre too old, not an internet

  10. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    DeeAngel replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    Do what they did at my old hospital, do report following every single guideline they lay out for you to follow and take your time to be thorough. Do not rush, you don't want the patient to feel...

  11. online BSN- no proctored exams

    DeeAngel replied to KRH123's topic in General Nursing

    You need to work on the mental issue before you try to work on the scholastic issue. I know of no accredditerd nursing shool that would provide what you seem to think is acceptable. I do not want a...

  12. Please take care of your little one rant

    DeeAngel replied to WineRN's topic in School

    This is medical neglect of a minor, you know about it and you are a mandated reporter by law. Do what you know needs to be

  13. Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

    DeeAngel replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    If you are still so unhappy then hire a lawyer and sue for hostile work environment. Do that or let it

  14. Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    DeeAngel replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to embrace your childhood religion and demand to have every Sunday off as part of the religious doctrine you practice. If it's fair for the other worker it should be fair for you...

  15. Medical Tourism

    DeeAngel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see what your point is, if I was was a physician in private practice I wouldn't see them and there is nothing wrong with that. Doctors in private practice do not have to see patients they...

  16. Medical Tourism

    DeeAngel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was married to a dentist for 26 years and he could tell by looking where people had gotten their dental work done. Mexican and ex-Soviet Block dentistry was always obvious to

  17. Got in trouble inserted 16f instead of 18 f

    DeeAngel replied to Kadidi's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of this story missing. I don't know why anyone would care if you went down a catheter size as long as the catheter was functioning

  18. Medical Tourism

    DeeAngel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I would not see a patient that wanted me to follow up on their out of the country surgery. All that would do for the doctor is to get them to accept a lot of liability for no significant...

  19. My Mom passed away. Did I do the right thing?

    DeeAngel replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see where you did anything incorrectly. Your mom was 70 and when your number is up, it's up. Nothing you could have possibly done differently would have changed a single

  20. A stye in your eye *semi-vent*

    DeeAngel replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    You deal with people like that by icing them out. Do not let her help you or observe you at work and do not speak about anything work related in her presence. Avoid her and only speak the minimal...

  21. Overtime d/t short staffed

    DeeAngel replied to nursing4321's topic in General Nursing

    Make a phone call to the local newspaper and have a conversation, they're always interested in general interest stories like

  22. Patient brings own urine sample for preoperative pregnancy testing

    DeeAngel replied to DineenC's topic in General Nursing

    Some people might use it but I wouldn't, to me it's not worth the professional

  23. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    DeeAngel replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're the one who picked to work long term care so I fail to see the point of you calling your own choice "lame". Be an adult and get another job if you don't like your current one instead of...

  24. Handling an issue at work

    DeeAngel replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    You're asking a question to which no one on the internet can give you an accurate

  25. After removing hub protection cap, do you still need to wipe with alcohol pad?

    DeeAngel replied to missjune's topic in General Nursing

    Find out what your specific facility policy is, see it in writing and follow that written policy. It doesn't matter what anyone else does, you need to do it the way your facility
