  1. I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    DaniannaRN replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that too. Sometimes people don't really want a solution to their problems. They would rather shoot down every single suggestion because of -insert issue here- instead of trying to find...

  2. I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    DaniannaRN replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Hi OP, first of all congrats on your pregnancy! IMO, it is one of the best things to be a mom! Your life will definitely change, for the better. I don't live in such a small town like you do,...

  3. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    DaniannaRN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I haven't read the responses here so I'm not sure if anyone suggested this already, but have you ever considered working for an insurance company? I left bedside many years ago and have been in...

  4. This is really messed up, I know….

    DaniannaRN replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As a patient in the hospital four times (for childbirth), I can assure you that you would not get any rest. I had a bp cuff on that took my bp every 10 minutes--all night and all day. I had q2h...

  5. Where are my rights?

    DaniannaRN replied to RNAnonMisc's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't have advice but I just want to say I'm sorry that happened to you. I have a side job as a contact tracer in my state (been doing it for 2 years already) and we do the exposure notifications....

  6. Burnt Out - Hospitals are Stressful!

    DaniannaRN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't want to do hand on nursing anymore, apply at insurance companies. I work for one now, and have for the past 12 or so years. All positions are Mon-Fri, 9a-5p, no weekends, no holidays,...

  7. Part time?

    DaniannaRN replied to NewRookie's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to do the entire year for any reason, or is it just because they told you in school that you must do a year? They always tell students that but it's not true (in my experience). My very...

  8. Undesignated Felony 6 while in nursing school PLEASE HELP!

    DaniannaRN replied to Guest1198798's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think it's best to consult with a lawyer. Even if someone here can give you an answer, it may not be accurate because of the state you're in or any other factor. Start with your academic advisor,...

  9. Will my social life really be over?

    DaniannaRN replied to Kennakenna's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school about 20 years ago, they told us the same thing about not having a social life. But I found that statement to not be entirely true. Everyone is vastly different. Person...

  10. How can a nurse sustain a healthy and happy relationship?

    DaniannaRN replied to nicenurse819's topic in General Nursing

    When he says things like this "I know im just the worst. Im a terrible person!” that's just another tactic to get you to stop talking about your problems and to focus on reassuring him. Do you get...

  11. How can a nurse sustain a healthy and happy relationship?

    DaniannaRN replied to nicenurse819's topic in General Nursing

    TBH, your fiance sounds exhausting. Of course you know him better than we do, but from what you're saying here, he sounds needy and whiney. Were you already a nurse when he met you? He needs to...

  12. Falsely Accused Of Patient Neglect

    DaniannaRN replied to Anna0029's topic in General Nursing

    It's just horrible how someone can make up accusations about a healthcare worker and we are guilty until proven innocent. I wish I knew a solution to this problem, it's something we all have to fight...

  13. How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    DaniannaRN replied to Loly23's topic in General Nursing

    OP, since you said you are young, I'm guessing they are doing this because of your age. They (most likely) wouldn't try that nonsense with an older/more experienced nurse. And never tell anyone at...

  14. Bedside Report

    DaniannaRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I was about to ask about this. I've been out of bedside nursing for a very long time (thank goodness!!) so I'm not aware of the new procedures in bedside. But discussing patient A in the same room...

  15. Can I Get My License and Find a Job with a Very Old, Pardoned and Sealed Criminal Record in Colorado?

    DaniannaRN replied to HopefulNurse75's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That would be a good question for an attorney that specializes in this type of stuff. I live in NJ and I have a sealed adult criminal record. I never had to disclose it since it's sealed and the...

  16. Name vs Skills

    DaniannaRN replied to karesssi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Only you can make this decision since it's your life. I've been an RN for 17 years and learned what I'm about to say the hard way....it's better to work at a place you'll be happy instead of who has...

  17. I Left hospital nursing. What are you doing now?

    DaniannaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you found something that makes you happy! It's difficult in our profession to find something that truly makes us happy. I've been an RN 17 years and got out of clinical nursing only 3...

  18. Nurses on Match.Com

    DaniannaRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if anyone at works knows you're on a dating site, that means they are on it too! There's no way to see someone's dating profile unless the other person is also on the site. If you want to...

  19. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    DaniannaRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Awww, thanks

  20. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    DaniannaRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man, I posted twice and can't delete my first reply. Oh well

  21. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    DaniannaRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you definitely could have handled the situation a little better, but I completely understand why you acted the way you did. Firstly, no one at work should be commenting on your body. At...

  23. How Long Do You Expect To Be a Nurse?

    DaniannaRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN for almost 16 years and I'm hoping to get out of it next year when I'm done with my master's degree in health informatics. I actually never really wanted to be a nurse, I never felt...

  24. Tell me I'm being too literal

    DaniannaRN replied to imintrouble's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't work with patients so I'm not too familiar with what goes on in hospitals/LTC, but you have to document and keep having fits to protect yourself, your family and the patients. Like someone...

  25. I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    DaniannaRN replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get where you're coming from. In the past when I was much younger, I've gotten into arguments with others at work because I needed to "win". I can't let (general) you get away with saying smart...
