  1. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    That's what I don't get. There are so many resources online that can help with understanding and utilizing APA format. It's not that difficult and it shouldn't prevent someone from writing the bulk of...

  2. Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So.... Another thread about previous

  3. ICU RNs floated to floors?

    Angeljho replied to jamisaurus's topic in Critical Care

    That's unsafe. Med/surg nurses floating to ICU? Couldn't pay me enough. Just one of the reasons why I jumped board over to psych.

  4. Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    Angeljho replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    These are my favorite types of threads. There are many threads - 99% actually - where posters are unanimous, but that 1% of threads where all posters have different viewpoints are the best. I think...

  5. social media problem

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

    Ahh the social media era. A friend of mine insulted her unit/hospital on facebook because she was sick of always working short. She was suspended without pay for a month while the investigation...

  6. Nurse Clueless

    Angeljho posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever worked with a nurse who seemed as if they never went to nursing school? There's this nurse whose abilities I always question (and he's been working at this LTC facility for a little...

  7. So Sick Of This Nurses Eat The Young Crap

    Angeljho replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny. I never heard of NETY before I stumbled across AN. I can't say I ever experienced such a problem. Backstabbing, on the other hand, is much more common in my experience. Nurses reporting...

  8. How do you sign your name?

    Angeljho replied to ohiobobcat's topic in General Nursing

    I use my first initial and full last name followed by RN. I don't use script. I sign in print - if that makes sense

  9. Professors who don't make their own tests...

    Angeljho replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which is exactly the reason why we have questionable nurses now who don't understand a lick of A/P. But, at least it's a brick and mortar institution so we know the OP is getting that "concrete"...

  10. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

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

    Then I would confront the doctor about this. A PRN order should have an indication of how far a part we can give a medication. Lorazepam 2mg PO PRN TID, maximum daily dose of 3x/24hrs is NOT a...

  11. One Rn for 92 bed facility?

    Angeljho replied to orange2015's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I would run. That doesn't sound safe at

  12. To take a rehab/SNF RN job or wait it out for acute care in Sacramento... UGH! What to do

    Angeljho replied to vpowervalval's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As the other posters have stated, take the post-acute job. It's easier to transition into another job if you have experience AND you're actively

  13. RN supervising LPN's

    Angeljho replied to swtonursing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never worked home health, but why would that be illegal? RNs supervise LPNs. Are you saying you don't feel comfortable signing off because you haven't done the assessment yourself? It would only...

  14. My LTC nightmare continues.......

    Angeljho replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nursing homes try to do so much with very, very little. Staffing is always a nightmare. One nurse to 40+ residents and expected to do all medications, all treatments, handle all complaints, answer...

  15. LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    Angeljho replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Here's an interesting read. Baccalaureate Education in Nursing and Patient Outcomes JNurs Adm. 2013

  16. LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    Angeljho replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wasn't there research done on this? I believe nurses who were at the BSN level performed safer care than nurses at the ADN level. I'll try to find some articles on

  17. LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    Angeljho replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Please take the BSN out. You have not EARNED your BSN. A nurse can only put BSN after his or her name when he or she has OBTAINED that degree. You're committing

  18. maybe im being paranoid...

    Angeljho replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    And there goes my lunch.

  19. Nurse Clueless

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to flat out call him stupid. Outside of nursing and all sciences, he has some wit. He's just not a good nurse. Like I said, if I explain things to him, he'll get it. The problem is that...

  20. Nurse Clueless

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, he's an actual nurse. Believe me, I checked on the BON

  21. Nurse Clueless

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Things like this baffles me. When I first started out at my facility, a nurse was fired. She administered PRN Tylenol for a patient who c/o chest pain because...the patient, y'know, had a PRN Tylenol...

  22. Stony Brook School of Nursing NNP program 2015

    Angeljho replied to santy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not sure if every program is treated the same, but were you invited to

  23. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    Angeljho replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So? Not every nurse has to be Florence Nightingale. Many people choose careers for financial stability, but that doesn't make them incompetent or bad at their

  24. maybe im being paranoid...

    Angeljho replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, I definitely lost some IQ points after reading the

  25. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    Angeljho replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Did you suspect that you were violating the code of ethics? What made you question your actions that ultimately led you to
