    dansamy replied to Joyfulnurse79's topic in General Nursing

    Always do the right thing. Sometimes, the right thing is the hardest thing to do. Regarding documentation, it's your license. Not theirs. Do not chart anything that you didn't do and accurately chart...

  3. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    dansamy replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been a nurse almost 9 years now. Including weekend & night differentials, I don't make $25+/hr. Of course, in Alabama, I make a decent, but bit wealthy,

    dansamy posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    I have close family moving to Seattle Washington in September. I presently live in a right to work, non-union state where wages are very low. I have 6 years of peds med/surg experience & PALS....

  5. Completely enraged!!!

    dansamy replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Don't get too attached to the rainbows & puppies of today's experience. Your group will eventually sort itself into, at the very least, loose cliques. Your instructor will be tough on you. (Or at...

  9. Co-worker leaving - What's our responsibility?

    dansamy replied to dianajh73's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You really don't have any right to disclose to your manager your coworker's intentions. January is a long way away. Anything could happen that would necessitate your coworker declining her new...

  10. Dealing with chronic suicidal pts in the ED

    dansamy replied to danggirl16's topic in Emergency

    Are these uninsured patients? Maybe they lack access to mental health care. Or the meds that work for them are too expensive & they aren't getting any assistance with affordability. Even with...

  11. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    dansamy replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Of course it won't be perfect. And there's gonna be a lot of missteps along the way. And people will **** & moan about it. Sent from my HTC One X using

  12. Are we tyrants?

    dansamy replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm pretty sure that if I did wish to have more money than Bill Gates, the next day Microsoft stock would crash, they would file bankruptcy & Gates would have $98 to his name. Sent from my HTC One...

  14. Are we tyrants?

    dansamy replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I fail at blatant sarcasm! Obviously! :-D Can I blame it on an undiagnosed personality disorder? No? OK, interwebs then! :-D But I really do wish administration would stop, halt, cease & desist...

  15. Job offer. Pay estimate?

    dansamy replied to GabyRn's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah. My $2800 estimate used very conservative estimates for insurance & retirement. Sent from my HTC One X using

  16. Are we tyrants?

    dansamy replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You're eliminating the human element in caring for a very fragile, vulnerable being. My babies' nurses were not just cogs in the wheels of the healthcare machine. For 4 weeks, 3 weeks and 12 days...

  17. Job offer. Pay estimate?

    dansamy replied to GabyRn's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Depends largely on the tax rates & your other deductions. I'm guessing about 2800/month. Calculate your monthly gross. Then, Google a calculator to determine your net income. Sent from my HTC One...

  21. Hourly Rounding in an ER

    dansamy replied to green34's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Some people sleep so lightly that opening their door awakens them. I really hate hourly rounding. (I don't work in the ER. I work on a peds/adult med/surg unit. I can usually do vital signs on a...

    dansamy replied to green34's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  24. Securing a new position in advance of cross country move?

    dansamy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    And not for a new grad internship. I'm looking at moving from south Alabama to the greater Seattle, WA area. How does one secure a position prior to moving? Are there agencies that will help place you...

  25. Securing a new position in advance of cross country move?

    dansamy replied to dansamy's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm still looking at all our options. Moving is one. Traveling is another. And there's always just staying put. I have to weigh the risks/benefits of each option. Staying in the Deep South means...
