  1. how bad is 11a-11p?

    danggirl16 replied to ivyleaf's topic in Emergency

    I too am not a morning person so starting that few hours later was a plus. Like others have said though there isn't any slow time...no gradually winding up or gradually winding down. Where I worked...

  2. I am not proud of my track record.

    danggirl16 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    STARL: First, you absolutely need an attorney for both license defense before the BON and for any forthcoming additional criminal charges. The TAANA in fact lists 5 that are nurse attorneys (hold...

  3. I am not proud of my track record.

    danggirl16 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    I've not been on this site for quite some time and this is the first post I see! I read every single comment. I am just shocked and appalled not only regarding the OP's behaviour/attitude /comments...

  4. Happy,In denial, overwhelmed, nervous and worried

    danggirl16 replied to JFLEURIM's topic in General Nursing

    Jfleurim: congratulations on passing your exam. I had a big response but for some reason either I or my tablet is technically challenged this morning. I bookmarked it though so I can return this...

  5. Paradoxical reaction to Benadryl?

    danggirl16 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm going to say as per route of administration...the reaction might be delayed depending on absorption time but I know personally almost all antihistamines and things like phenergan/compazine make me...

  6. New nurse, just want to walk out

    danggirl16 replied to heronurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First, I am sorry you are feeling this way. In the beginning we go through so many different emotions - some simultaneously - that it seems like we're going crazy. OK. Now, I would like to know what...

  7. Do Med Surg / Tele RNs still get hired into ER?

    danggirl16 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Emergency

    That is exactly how I landed my first ED job. I was on a travel assignment on a transplant-tele floor. The ED was down a nurse so the nursing supervisor came up to send one of the floor nurses. He...

  8. A Cautionary Tale

    danggirl16 replied to danggirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good advice.

  9. I dread going to work- not a new grad. Has this happened to anyone else?

    danggirl16 replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not glad any of you are feeling this way, but I am relieved to know others do feel the same. I never used to have any problem going to work but it seems in the last 5 years or so (out of 19...

    danggirl16 replied to JMD14's topic in Emergency

    First, congratulations on your internship! I'm excited FOR you! OK, so I'm cheating because I've not been a new nurse with a first job in the ER however I have been a preceptor for three ER nurse...

  12. A change of direction from nursing to ?

    danggirl16 replied to al11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm somewhat in a similar situation though I have had my nursing degree forever. Won't be able to tolerate the physical aspect of it any longer. I've looked into a lot of different areas wanting to be...

  13. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    danggirl16 replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school, type of degree and what field of nursing you will be going into. From what I've seen most of the BSN and higher degree programs require college algebra and statistics. Many of...

  14. what happens next

    danggirl16 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I find it...interesting...that facilities are charged with the requirement to "self-report" HIPPA violations or any other violation for that matter which would result in potential sanctions on the...

  15. Study smarter

    danggirl16 replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    Interesting article. I just had this discussion with someone. In nursing school (100 years ago), people gave me a hard time because it looked like I never took notes. I noticed that during the...

  16. Scheduled Food Delivery to Nurses. Thoughts?

    danggirl16 replied to Sanders4069's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I like the food truck idea but also think the delivery is too complicated to be worth it. I often thought of starting a Starbuck's delivery business because the Starbuck's was right in the middle of...

  17. Is it OK to say no to a nurse?

    danggirl16 replied to MsPebbles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't let it scare you off...remember it when YOU become a nurse. I worked my way through nursing school as a PCA and frequently ran into this. I learned to handle it in one of two ways: if I knew I...

  18. Most challenging nursing department

    danggirl16 replied to rose89's topic in General Nursing

    The most stressful place I've ever worked was the PICU. I'm 100% adult oriented nurse. I love the ED and ICU is ok too. Worked med/surg for a long time and it was ok. The PICU...I didn't last more...

  19. What is up with these Sickle Cell Patients?!

    danggirl16 replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've taken care of many patients with Sickle Cell in my career and I've read through the majority of the postings here. So I have a few comments. First, I've noticed if the patient doesn't know you...

  20. New RN; Reporting to CPS

    danggirl16 replied to ICUKeesh's topic in Private Duty

    In 19 years I've had to report four times...actually 2 kids and 2 elder abuse cases. I've always felt sad afterwards but I slept well knowing that I was doing the right thing for my patient and...

  21. Travel Nurse inquiry

    danggirl16 replied to KnoxGirl's topic in Travel

    I loved travel nursing but as far as negotiating goes, it depends on the company. One company I worked for gave me just about everything I asked for without extra expense. The travel "bonus" you...

  23. New nurses and the ER

    danggirl16 replied to SVT511's topic in Emergency

    I started ER nursing about 6 years ago after 13 years of various assorted med/surg jobs. At some point we are all the new ER nurse. I had a great welcome to my first ER assignment but I wasn't a "new"...

  24. Assaults on staff

    danggirl16 replied to PerfectlyNumb's topic in Emergency

    I think there probably is an increase in the violence we see in the ED. At my last job, our volume was about 30% psych and that is inclusive of drug/alcohol intoxication. The biggest issue was that...

  25. Pain Management in the ER

    danggirl16 replied to KYARNP's topic in Emergency

    Always a touchy subject. This caught my eye because the last place I worked one doctor's answer to ANY c/o pain was benadryl and zofran. Then if that didn't work, he would order Haldol!! The...
