    Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    Daisy Joyce replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Sounds like there's something we're not being told. Catholics can give and receive vaccines. There are very few areas of a hospital where abortions/contraception is an issue. She could have worked in...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    Daisy Joyce replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes--when HCPs speak in a condescending or dismissive way to patients, it only gets their back up. I'm no anti-vaxxer, but I am anti-treating the patient like an idiot because they express a fear or a...

    Breaching StaRN Contract

    Daisy Joyce replied to Bella_CO's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Bosses and recruiters are not friends. They're not evil, but they're not watching your back, but the bottom line of their company. So, if it seems too good to be true, it is. If you want to know...

    What if I'm the Bully?

    Daisy Joyce replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a newbie, there were nurses who corrected me and weren't tender with my feelings over it. I didn't enjoy the correction, but I never forgot it. But in their minds, I made a mistake, they...

    why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    Daisy Joyce replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have to disagree that having staff moving around all the time is a good metric for staffing. Patients don't stay the same. They have good days and bad days. Maybe one day they have several loose...

    RNs Don't Help CNAs

    Daisy Joyce replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    At the risk of virtue-signaling, when I finish my RN work, I check with my CNA(s) to see what they need. I've worked with the same CNAs for awhile, so they have a good sense of my work habits, and...

    BSN is a joke

    Daisy Joyce replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    If you ever do home care, you will be there when SHTF, and it won't hurt to have a few techniques you can whip out to try to diffuse the

    Ethical dilemma with DON

    Daisy Joyce replied to Apentti's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Here's the thing--the DON definitely needs to follow up on this event, whether it's a need for re education, or a write up or what have you. She mustn't sit on this. Why doesn't she want the NP to...

    Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Daisy Joyce replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    Well, let's put it this way. Sometimes I get a wee bit grumpy when I remember how the cast of "Friends", in the final season, made $1million/episode. To act out a fictional story. On the television....

    Are you single? Do what you like. If you're married, and especially if you have children, you will need to polish your negotiation skills. school is big bucks and lots of time. Will you be...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    Daisy Joyce replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for an adult group home (developmental disabilities) where the male CNAs were only allowed to do care male residents. OP, are you allowed to do fully-clothed care, such as feeding? Or is it...

    Daisy Joyce replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    I am a sub nurse. Direct hire for two districts. One rarely calls me, the other throws me lots of work and I have some good relationships with the full time staff. Also work for two different...

    New nurse who feels like a failure

    Daisy Joyce replied to Nrscaroline's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry your boss went and told you you have no future in bedside nursing. That's a pretty sweeping assessment based on just one job... This floor might not be the best fit for you, however....

    parents won't pick up sick kid!

    Daisy Joyce replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    I think this is a symptom of a broader problem in our society--many, many families are isolated and have no one to turn to in times of need. They rock along sorta okay until an emergency happens....
