  1. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    Angeljho replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Let's not even get started on facilities that have not caught up to the computer age (LTC, I'm looking at you). The calluses on my hands say

  2. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    Angeljho replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Featherz, you're doing it at WGU? I got my BSN and MSN from WGU. I want to go for my MBA but I'm a bit worried about getting all my degrees at one school lol. I think they call it academic incest....

  3. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    Angeljho replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wanted to address this because I see this a lot on AN. Why does someone else's portrayal of nursing ruffle your feathers? The OP wasn't saying that nurses who love nursing lack judgement,...

  4. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    Angeljho replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There are other areas of nursing, but you risk being uncomfortable in those areas if you don't have strong assessment skills. I can't tell you how many times new grads complained of cleaning poop, yet...

  5. Finished my MBA-HM last week. Ask me anything!

    Angeljho replied to Murse901's topic in Western Governors University

    Was the MSN (leadership & management) on that list of worst degree to get for employment potential? I have been thinking about getting my MBA in health care management to make myself more...

  6. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    Angeljho replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Just because someone is family does not mean they are owed anything. The OP said she only met this family member once, so how can she write a letter speaking on her behalf? I'm always suspicious about...

  7. Family member hurt my somewhat fragile new grad confidence

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

    You are not going to please everyone. Confidence is something that has to develop but I often wish new nurses would develop it based on their own growth rather than from others. I've noticed a trend...

  8. Fired for following orders

    Angeljho replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    The RN should have been fired too. You both were

  9. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    Angeljho replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    At the same time, nursing can't charge for services everytime a nurse enters a patient's room. Technically, since nursing is 24/hrs, we're talking about ongoing billing. It just won't work. It will...

  10. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    Angeljho replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I definitely would not know what to do in this situation. My mother is difficult and wouldn't be shy about saying, "Don't ever ask me for anything. You're going to need me one day" blah blah blah (She...

  11. Have you ever disliked a nursing job so much that you quit without notice?

    Angeljho replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    My first job was in a LTC facility. It was already too crazy caring for 40 residents and never having time to do anything. However, I stayed for a year and a half. After they started adding more...

  12. How many men in your cohort?

    Angeljho replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't know why, but this made me laugh

  13. Dogs: A nursing intervention?

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Psychiatric

    I definitely learned a lot from this thread about pet therapy. And I'm glad to see its something that's really effective. Thanks

  14. Dogs: A nursing intervention?

    Angeljho posted a topic in Psychiatric

    So one of my co-workers who's a psychiatrist (very overly enthusiastic guy), is excited about the idea of implementing trained dogs as treatment to help patients with mood problems. Apparently,...

  15. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    Angeljho replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors University

    It depends on the requirements of the school you plan on going to for post master's FNP. WGU's pass = 3.0 which puts your GPA at 3.0. Although a lot of people stress that other prospective students...

  16. Is this a VALID reason to terminate someone?

    Angeljho replied to lllenjolll's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think you may have thought this was an informal counseling but you were really getting a verbal warning followed by a written counseling - or what you might call a "write up". You were new, so you...

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

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

    There's a fine line between being "real" and being real rude. A lot of posters here think that they have to be rude or insulting in order to get a point across. It only serves to discourage the...

  18. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    Angeljho replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nursing is one of those fields where you have to learn how to not take the work home with you. Just read other threads on this forum. Burn out, compassion fatigue, low job satisfaction, never leaving...

  19. I'm starting to feel like I'm done

    Angeljho replied to TheOldestNurseOnUnit's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me

  20. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    Angeljho replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Everything like

  21. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    Angeljho replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

  22. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    Angeljho replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think some people just study or "catch on" differently. When I was in nursing school, I loved to study at home. I completely hated the library and I never really liked study groups. The less people...

  23. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Angeljho replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Hence, the so called "false" nursing shortage. Nurses that should be retiring just aren't retiring, which is one of the reasons why new nurses of all ages can't find a job (notice I said one of the...

  24. FLAME ON!

    Angeljho replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated with all A's, and I was the first in my class. Oh, and I had all honor classes. I'm naturally talented when it comes to education BUT I just cannot pass the NCLEX. I just want to be a...

  25. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Angeljho replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    This! I've worked with elder nurses who felt that they were too "senior" to do anything. And when it came to anything that involved the computer......
