  1. A Response from the OP on the issue (poor choice of words) on the concept of a ADN Vs. BSN

    Angeljho replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    OP, there are going to be many different opinions because this is the internet. Not everyone will see your point of view on things and not everyone will agree with you. I am going to say something...

  2. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    Didn't mean to like your comment. I knew someone was going to say this. The poster wasn't comparing the LGBT community to murderers; the poster was simply making a point about nurses. Sometimes we...

  3. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Angeljho replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If I'm sick, I call out. But let's be clear, I don't call out because I have a headache or bad heartburn. I have to really be sick. I don't feel guilty or even think about my unit when I'm at work....

  4. That nagging feeling...

    Angeljho replied to dudette10's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I always say, "As nurses, we have spidey senses." It's a gut feeling that we all gain with that mix of instinct, experience and intangible signs as you've

  5. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, where did the OP say that he doesn't provide appropriate care for DNR patients? He presented his view on something, not an

  6. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I have a hard time understanding. What error? The OP never came here and said, "I treat DNR patients differently than patients who I can actually save." The OP expressed his thoughts...

  7. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, don't let the "follow the leader" posters get to you. That seems to be the culture here. It's all opinions anyway and I did value

  8. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    That is YOUR opinion. Last time I checked, compassion wasn't a prerequisite to being a nurse. Sometimes people become nurses because it's a way to pay their bills. Whatever the reason, the only thing...

  9. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is a new nurse. Nursing school doesn't teach us compassion, it is developed. Sometimes it takes that one patient to change a nurse's perception. The OP's experience will guide her to what's the...

  10. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    And there are also priority questions that ask, "Who would you go to

  11. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Angeljho replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, the OP is not the only one who shares this perception of DNR patients. I have a friend who works Med-Surg. She was complaining about her patient assignment after work one day. If I recall...

  12. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    Angeljho replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors University

    There are many. Stony Brook is one of

  13. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Angeljho replied to AKarpi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Now, I can honestly say I have not considered this point of view. You may be on to something Mr.

  14. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Angeljho replied to AKarpi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I wouldn't want the BSN to be the entry-level for RN practice. I received my associates in nursing and then went for my BSN later. That pathway would have not been possible if the BSN was the...

  15. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Angeljho replied to AKarpi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So whenever evidence is presented, it's biased? This topic has been researched. There may not be much, but the research is. The "But we take the same NCLEX" argument has never been a solid one. And...

  16. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Angeljho replied to AKarpi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This was written so beautifully: Rosseter, R. J. (2014). The Impact of Education on Nursing Practice. Retrieved 4/24/15 from http://www.aacn.nche.edu/media-relations/EdImpact.pdf Those who claim ADN...

  17. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Angeljho replied to AKarpi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is a difference. While it's not a huge difference, BSN programs prepare nurses to be managers of care. ADN programs DO NOT go too far in-depth on role development of the nurse or quality...

  18. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    That's true. But everyone has a right to their opinion. They're allowed that. And as you've seen here, people can have their own opinion or view of the LGBT community and not let it affect how they...

  19. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    Angeljho posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    *Puts on armor* Eh, I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes. My supervisor is going back to school for her BSN. She's been in school for about a year now, but hasn't done too many essays or...

  20. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    Angeljho replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    Taking the NCLEX periodically to maintain licensure (every 10 years or so) is a solid idea. I disagree with your indication for it though. I would say that the best reason for periodic NCLEX testing...

  21. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    Angeljho replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    I always wondered how students fail out of nursing school but somehow they're miraculously taking med-surg for the third time. So this is the big ol' secret. And to think I actually studied! Why...

  22. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    Angeljho replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    Ugh, I just know I'm going to cringe reading this original

  23. Professionalism....name your irritation here!

    Angeljho replied to LobotRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Or supervisors who make their subordinate nurses do their assignments. Do your OWN work and let us worry about our

  24. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    I do believe a formal apology on behalf of the staff could make things better. I'm not sure if this patient has sought or will seek legal action for abuse; I do know that her family is very involved....

  25. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    I haven't flown away. A few posts back, I updated everyone on what followed. I'm not sure if the nurse was disciplined or received counseling. Such matters are confidential. I do know that he was seen...
