   DAISY MAE 1 replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

   Dear Scrappy, I can totally relate to what you are saying, and you really caught a lot of flack for voicing from the other side of the fence. However it sounds like you truly have worked both sides of the fence, and that is why I can respect your ...

   It's really unbelievable all the negativity here! I know some of the things they have given you do sound pathetic, but a question I have for you, is how many of you are involved on any committees that figure out what needs to be done? Alot of peop...

4. What is the freakiest thing you have ever seen at work?????

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I worked in a prison medical setting, and on the night shift I got called over to the unit. An inmate had a padlock on his penis (he evidently was a little off?) and needless to say could not remember the combination! Not sure where his brains are r...

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to sweetnurse11's topic in Geriatric

   oops I hit the wrong button ( I fell ) With all falls I reviewed: Drugs, last necessary drug level, any new drugs, last falls and any correlation in times, current inter- ventions being done, locations of falls, possibility of a UTI, or other med...

6. Incidience of falls .

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to sweetnurse11's topic in Geriatric

   I worked as a resident care coordinator on a dementia unit where falls were very prevalent. Falls went on to an incident report. I got those first, and reviewed them, and listed each fall in a monthly log. I was the second line of defense after t...

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

   Dear ASI52, Be sure and let your supervisor know on a regular basis how much you appreciate her. I was a leader( I call those kind of supervisors leaders) for 15 years. What meant most to me after all the giving, and the extra hours I put in was a...

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to Tookie's topic in Geriatric

   Wow, finally someone to talk to about geriatric nursing! Why does it seem like it is such a lonely field, or maybe it's just me! I truly found that I love working in geriatrics but most recently after only 2 years, I have gone to a hospital to work....

   DAISY MAE 1 replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

   It's great that you tried, and it's ok that you went back. At least you now have more understanding about yourself, and what you want in nursing. You also know now that being a supervisor is not just sitting on your hindend doing nothing like most ...

    DAISY MAE 1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently went from a leadership position in a nursing home, to a staff nurse position in a hospital. From my discussions, it appears that some of the opinions are that geriatric nurses donot know as much, skill level is poor, and you would have to...

11. Got called "stupid" at work

    DAISY MAE 1 replied to janmae1950's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a manager for over 15 years and most recently was a supervisor of a geriatric unit with CNA's . I applaud you for not gossiping, or backbiting with the incident. You also have a lot of courage to stay in that situation. I would say if ...

12. What's with the chip on your shoulder?

    DAISY MAE 1 replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    I donot think that nurse really has any good excuses. She is getting paid to do a job and do it well. I just stepped down from 15 years of leadership, and I think no one has a monopoly on stress or a reason to lash out at someone. I could have sw...
