  1. Fired and Devastated

    Angeljho replied to SweenyG's topic in General Nursing

    I just want you to know that you are NOT a failure, and you can still succeed in acute care. There are facilities that have longer orientation periods or a training style that better matches yours....

  2. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    Angeljho replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    They can't cheat their way through everything. It will eventually catch up with them. I don't see how they're going to pass nursing school. Sure, they can cheat on their fluid & electrolytes exam;...

  3. Stony Brook School of Nursing NNP program 2015

    Angeljho replied to santy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @Santy, have you interviewed

  4. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Angeljho replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    No degree is worthless. It's not the education, it's people who are quick to judge something that is outside of the norm. Online schooling is taking the country by storm, so pretty much it will be the...

  5. Wow. Just wow

    Angeljho replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. These so called private investigator nurses are very hard to work with. OP, don't worry. Perhaps you can discuss the incident with your nurse manager if you feel patients are at risk by this...

  6. Wow. Just wow

    Angeljho replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she was saying to document the med error in the patient's chart. I think she was saying to document it in an incident

  7. Stony Brook School of Nursing NNP program 2015

    Angeljho replied to santy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I plan on working full-time and going to school full-time. It won't be easy, but I have no children or any other responsibilities aside from work. There are numerous threads about the stuggles of...

  8. Wow. Just wow

    Angeljho replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    1) It really depends on the situation. As a poster said, sometimes a nurse will give ibuprofen and then the MD will simply write an order later. It isn't that big of a deal. 2) Now there's the case of...

  9. Wear gloves during assessment?

    Angeljho replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    This times

  10. Wear gloves during assessment?

    Angeljho replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    You're going to have many different answers for this one. Personally, I wear gloves when doing an assessment and when taking

  11. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    Angeljho replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm mixed about this one. While it is Nina's right to sue, the image of nursing will become tainted. She will be seen as a "greedy nurse" because the public is very quick to judge. I agree that...

  12. do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    Angeljho replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like my MSN (management) is a waste at times. I was an ADN and wanted to further my education. I figured if I was going back to school, I'd rather get my BSN and MSN in one shot. I didn't want...

  13. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    Angeljho replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors University

    This is my dilemma right now. I plan on attending a post master's PMHNP program, but it will take me approximately 2 to 3 years to complete. It would have been more cost-effective and timely if I...

  14. Stony Brook School of Nursing NNP program 2015

    Angeljho replied to santy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I received an invitation to interview for psych NP too. So

  15. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree. Yelling at someone who screws up or is about to screw up can be labeled as bullying. How is that even healthy? That can cause fear of making a mistake in the workplace and escalate into...

  16. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Which is why it is important how constructive criticism is delivered. Most people think they are giving constructive criticism when they are really just being rude, insensitive, and/or...

  17. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Angeljho replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    This! My CNO has an online graduate degree. More and more nurses are receiving their education online. Also, there are now people coming into nursing who would have never chosen that career path...

  18. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Angeljho replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    What a fallacy. And I fail to see how medical school is equivalent to a nurse getting their degree online. How is it comparable at all? I wish nurses would stop comparing their education to that of an...

  19. Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    Angeljho replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I achieved my MSN from an online school. I have received many employment offers and I have been accepted to the two post-MSN NP schools that I have applied for. I assure you that an online degree will...

  20. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the problem is that some people don't know how to give constructive criticism; and yes, there is a way to give constructive criticism. It's a technique/method to it. You have to be mindful of...

  21. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was this post necessary? Bullying may be overused but the real problem is that people here are focusing on the OVERUSE of the term rather than the problem that the person who is overusing it may be...

  22. Psychiatric Emergency Response Policy

    Angeljho posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello everyone, My hospital had a policy in place where security officers would respond to an emergency behavioral crisis if the staff needed assistance. However, now we use something called a...

  23. Psychiatric Emergency! Fumbling Syringes?

    Angeljho posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello all! I work on a high-acuity psych unit. I deal with psychiatric emergencies on a near daily basis (fights, physical assaults, threats, destruction of property, etc). Emergency STAT IMs are...

  24. Pharmacists giving injections!?!

    Angeljho replied to chevyv's topic in Patient Medications

    This. When you look at it from this point of view, it does take something away from nursing. It's a scope of practice issue. While pharmacists are indeed qualified, you're taking a skill widely used...

  25. NP Scope of Practice

    Angeljho posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I'm reading an article for a class I'm taking (RN to BSN) and I came across an interesting viewpoint. It stated that in an online survey of 100 physicians, 80% believed expansion of NP roles would...
