    My dad died yesterday

    That really happened? I always thought that was an urban

    The.. sun..come..out....to-mor-row...

    Daisy Joyce replied to NurseCard's topic in Nursing Humor

    Is that the one where the old man is staring sadly out the window in the first scene, then in the last scene he's smiling down at a newborn in his arms? Makes it look like a drug that causes old men...

    Medication disqualification

    Daisy Joyce replied to Vanvelzor's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Just take it one step at a time. CNAs don't pass meds. Learn your CNA skills and find a job and get some experience. If you find health care work enjoyable and meaningful, then take the proper steps...

    Fall prevention

    Daisy Joyce replied to dontbetachy90's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We use silent alarms--they don't sound in the room, but to our phones, and we catch people a lot before they fall, but without scaring or startling the patient. Some people move fast, though--the...

    English As A Second Language

    Daisy Joyce replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of people with accents and if I don't understand them, I ask them to

    Thread for Trolls

    Where's the thread for sock puppets? Allnurses is so

    Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    Daisy Joyce replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    Part of the problem is that girls are still socialized to be nice and sweet and get along. Girls also doubt themselves (was it really as bad as I remember? Was it really that big a deal?) Some men...

    Working Weeknds

    Daisy Joyce replied to MJ48's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the agency. I work for more than one agency, and I will periodically send all my bosses my list of available dates. Then I wait to hear back. I don't always get scheduled every day I...

    Working Weeknds

    Daisy Joyce replied to MJ48's topic in General Nursing

    Alright, so you didn't "get it" in the moment that being available meant that you would totally be scheduled. But as someone who works for agency, they love people who they can send to cases on...

    Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    Daisy Joyce replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    Why is anybody surprised that people try to get away with bad behavior...simply because they can? Rather than clutching our pearls, we should be teaching our children how to set and enforce...

    Nursing Job Change: Jump Ship or Sit Tight? 5 Things to Consider

    Daisy Joyce replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Do your research and actually talk to employees (not recruiters) at the place you want to change to. What will you do if you jump ship and wind up in a worse place? I changed my last job when the...

    Unsure about going from NICU back to Adults

    Daisy Joyce replied to MadamPomfrey_'s topic in Nursing Career

    In general terms, a year is long enough to know if you enjoy a specialty. And yes, some units are hatefully cliquey. You said you're not in with the in crowd, but are you actively disliked, or just...

    How do you get over the boredom/monotony?

    Daisy Joyce replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    Just remember that you could be working LTC right now and pushing a heavy med cart up and down the hall and always feel behind and

    Patient awareness on end of life morphine gtt

    Daisy Joyce replied to babygrace1's topic in Pain Management

    I am so sorry for your loss. Yes, all things equal, you will still have awareness while on morphine. But morphine promotes comfort, and that's the goal at end of life.

    Could the reason I got fired from my last job affect becoming a nurse

    Daisy Joyce replied to Allie94's topic in Nursing Career

    Why can't I find a job where I have that much

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Daisy Joyce replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not entirely certain the opioid epidemic is the result of obedient and powerless patients. I more get the sense that these patients were not taking their meds as prescribed, and HCPs sorta shot...

    Nurses with children always go home early?

    Daisy Joyce replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    I've never gone home early because of my kids. Except that one time I went into labor. And that other time I had to pick up DD because of concussion. So...twice in over 20 years in

    What Would You Do to Fix the Failings of Healthcare Delivery ?

    Daisy Joyce replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that insurance companies are a nuisance, they became a necessity. As docs became more educated and could expect better outcomes from their care, they could start charging more. They...

    Testosterone and uterine contractions

    Daisy Joyce posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I apologize if this is in the wrong section, and I have searched the Internet and come up empty. Someone told me an intersex person they know nearly died because their testosterone surged so high (or...

    Testosterone and uterine contractions

    Daisy Joyce replied to Daisy Joyce's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It didn't make sense to me, either. The person who told me this was not a HCP, and got pissy when I tried to elicit further information. Probably the person wasn't "lying", but profoundly misinformed....

    Can I be a nurse if I hate science?!

    Daisy Joyce replied to shayjulia's topic in Nursing Career

    If you like the hospital setting, how about social

    Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

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

    It was stupid and cruel for your manager to tell you you'd never make it in a hospital (and nice little sideswipe at LTC while she's at it!) I wonder what's wrong with a person who takes a vulnerable...

    Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    Daisy Joyce replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    Fear of being ratted out to the higher ups. Fear of looking inept or weak to a co-worker (that means you). There is a stigma attached to needing help. You might be perfectly lovely and compassionate...
