  1. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm trying to find preceptors now, but have only met great resistance. I start clinicals in the fall; by the way things are going, I would have to settle with anyone I get a "yes" from. I take my...

  2. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is another thing that worries me. In my MSN program, the 3 P's weren't required (they are now) because my MSN is in a non-clinical area. Therefore, I have to take those courses. In the distance...

  3. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

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

    Politeness should not be a major reason why a patient views a nurse as a good or bad nurse. Do patients use politeness as a criterion to suggest the quality of their nurse? Of course. But if the...

  4. Shortest brick and mortar and online MSN PMHNP programs please?

    Angeljho replied to lakshma3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There aren't any. If you were going for a post-MSN, maybe, but it would still be a stretch. I haven't heard of any NP MSN that is only a year long with clinicals added in the

  5. It can be done! (BSN straight to PMHNP)

    Angeljho replied to hakhama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations!!

  6. Roaches At work

    Angeljho replied to Shany1312's topic in General Nursing

    Roaches? Try huge water bugs AND mice. A mouse once ran across the nurses' desk and hid behind the fax machine. I had the CNO, housekeeping, and the infection control nurse on the phone

  7. nursing school THAT hard?

    Angeljho replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eh, nursing school wasn't too difficult. However, the difficulty level of anything is pure subjective. I did think nursing school was time consuming, though. Most of my colleagues had a tough time...

  8. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

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

    This is a good topic. I believe some patients do while other don't. There's a nurse who takes pride in preparing and administering her medications fast because she feels administering medication fast...

  9. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    Angeljho posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So we recently admitted a male patient who identifies himself as female. We don't get many patients like her. A nurse in particular let's his political views get in the way of work and has been...

  10. This is a stretch to call HIPAA violation

    Angeljho replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I bet it was staged. The mom conveniently went to the bathroom during the time the office was handing off medical information. The mom knew what she was

  11. This is a stretch to call HIPAA violation

    Angeljho replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The crazy thing is that most health professionals I know don't "get" HIPAA

  12. Is this abuse?

    Angeljho replied to isthisok's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Report it to your instructor, and then leave it up to him/her to deal with. Do not try to follow-up or be a vigilante. That's where many students go

  13. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    Angeljho replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, along with making your page private and not putting your face as the profile picture. But still be cautious because there are still ways an employer can find you. Let's say your friends on...

  14. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    Angeljho replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only social media that I know can help you professionally is LinkedIn. Facebook and MySpace are NOT professional social media sites and have no reason being brought up in an interview. I don't see...

  15. I thought we learned that in nursing school!

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

    Wait, wait, wait... So no one else is shocked that someone nearly agreed with NOADLS? O.o Honestly, I'm all for skills fair. However, in my facility it's rushed and competencies aren't evaluated...

  16. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    Angeljho replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    Angeljho replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I also don't see the correlation between social media and being comfortable with technology. Is this something employers would suggest? Please explain

    Angeljho replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Forget posting text.... Nowadays people post VIDEOS of themselves doing illegal

  20. DNR and Hospice

    Angeljho replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? Cut him some slack. He did not make an error. He did not kill a patient. He asked a question about something he didn't fully understand. And even though he was railroaded on here, he said...

  21. Every other weekend & holidays??

    Angeljho replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    I believe if the OP really researches the job market in her area, she may just find what she's looking for. There is no prescribed pathway in nursing and "paying your dues" is starting to become an...

  22. DESPERATE for help!

    Angeljho replied to Heather0305's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, why do you think you keep failing? Is it because you don't understand the material? Are you studying enough? Do you have test anxiety (although I think you would have already passed if this was...

  23. Every other weekend & holidays??

    Angeljho replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    1) School Nursing 2) Clinic Nursing/Ambulatory Care 3) Case Management (some new grads get lucky) 4) Try working with nursing agencies and see what they have 5) Maybe Home Health (not really certain...

  24. DNR and Hospice

    Angeljho replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    People, please do remember that this is the internet. Expressions and emotions are sometimes not felt. It is clear that the OP is sharing her recent experience caring for a population that some nurses...

  25. Too Young..Rejected from Graduate School

    Angeljho replied to MyPrnPleaseBSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm going to side with you on this one, OP. I may be a bit biased because I've been rejected for management positions and have also received the, "You're too young" BS despite my experience and my...
