  1. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    CityofAngelsRN replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    When trying to determine whether a patient is a drug seeker or not, it is common to look for physical findings to back up a patients complaint. Normal vital signs would not be expected when a patient...

  2. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    CityofAngelsRN replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Zen, it might not be appropriate where you work but it's welcomed at my hospital and I'm thankful it is. Management was being bombarded with nurses coming to them and complaining that nurses,...

  3. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    CityofAngelsRN replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Zen Ren, first off I'm not a hater and I'm not sure why you're so defensive (in my opinion). I am not justifying anything. I have repeatedly stated her behavior was not appropriate. I do, however,...

  6. Would you rather live at home in a small town or move big city?

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Bunsbuns's topic in General Nursing

    Stay at home (you never know how much time we get with our family) and pay off those loans! I'm in student debt up to my ears so that would be a dream come true for me! Also, in my opinion, magnet...

  7. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    CityofAngelsRN replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, I agree. No matter what, you can't get that rude (even though you may want to lol). The patient or his father mentioned somewhere having been to other ER for the same thing (pain meds and...

  8. Surgeon for an instructor

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    The first off putting sentence is "he wasn't very nice was he?" That's telling us you judge every surgeon based on your experience with one. If you would like us to be more empathetic to your...

  9. CDCR/ CA State prison schedule

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Beatricenurse's topic in Correctional

  12. How to become a registered nurse in California??

    CityofAngelsRN replied to truworkdiva's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the classes might be online but the clinicals will be at least 24 hours a week onsite. I would start by making a list of nursing schools in your area and writing down the prerequisites for...

  13. Waking your patient when coming on shift?

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Gardeninggirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I absolutely wake them. I understand sleep is wonderful for recovery but I don't trust any nurse telling me they are alert and oriented because been there, done that, fool me once...etc....

  14. CDCR/ CA State prison schedule

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Beatricenurse's topic in Correctional

    Still waiting to hear back from Donovan. I can't imagine doing 16 hour shifts but it sounds worth it to have 4 days off! Can you swap just one shift and and do

  15. CDCR/ CA State prison schedule

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Beatricenurse's topic in Correctional

  16. Why Do We Continue to Harm Patients?

    CityofAngelsRN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have worked at three hospitals, 2 being magnet hospitals using Epic and the new one that is still using paper charting and no barcode system for meds. This causes so many mistakes. I overheard a...

  24. Major move..need good honest advice!!

    CityofAngelsRN replied to sah92183's topic in General Nursing

    Hands down San Diego. UCSD would be my first choice, followed by Scripps, and then Sharp. 75 degrees all year round, near the beach, disneyland, 2 hours to the snow, 4 to Vegas, and CA is the best for...

    CityofAngelsRN replied to unluckystudentnurse's topic in California Nursing

    If you would have asked me this question 3 years ago I would have told you to run far away from SD. Thankfully, it is nowhere near as bad today, although it's not easy to get a new grad job. I say go...
