  1. Liability of threatened AB on M/S unit?

    daisey_may replied to new_nurse_2006's topic in General Nursing

    I work on an m/s floor and have taken care of pregnant women. I have personally taken care of two and both were under 20 weeks along. One woman was in DKA and another was having seizures, which,...

  2. 18 y/o RN!

    daisey_may replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I will be 19 with my RN. I will turn twenty in October. I can have my BSN in 18 months, so I will be 20 when I have my BSN. I also took college classes while I was in high school. My friends joke...

  3. Youngest age of a nurse

    daisey_may posted a topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find anything when I searched and I've seen some discussions about the oldest age of a nurse. I hear all the time about how young I am, yet I'm a traditional college student. It's strange...

  4. What age were you when you went to nursing school?

    daisey_may replied to Imissthefall's topic in General Nursing

    I was 15 when I started my prereqs and 17 when I entered nursing school. I will be 19 when i graduate this May! I'm the youngest of the class, but the average age is 26.7 or something close to that....

  5. Abusive Nursing Instructors-LPN

    daisey_may replied to nurselala33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Tell your daughter to stick it out even though it's tough. She will regret later if she doesn't. I'm the youngest person in my class...I'll be 19 when I have my RN, but I've been lucky with...

  6. Two Florida hospitals now charge extra for non-emergency ER visits

    daisey_may replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there anything they have that would be considered emergency and non-emergency? There is a lot of grey area that makes me nervous. I just hope that there isn't an "accident" that will make this not...

  7. What's your holiday bonus?

    daisey_may replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    My fiance gets a turkey from UPS, which I thought was intersting. I just got a letter in the mail from work and attached to it were two tickets to a local movie theatre. I thought it was nice,...

  8. Curious about birth control

    daisey_may replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that for women who are on the pill, it may be difficult to tell when they are pregnant. For example, for some women, including myself, the side effects of birth control are quite significant....

  9. Elopement........ahhh help

    daisey_may replied to Sari_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Somehow picturing this in my head had me laughing so hard! :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle Although, it makes me sad, too. You're right, obviously he wasn't right for your

  10. no-smoking policies

    daisey_may replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is smoke-free, too. People who need to smoke just go out in their cars and drive around during break. Pts get the option of a nictotine patch and staff can get them to from the...

  11. Does Magnet Status make a difference?

    daisey_may replied to abbythetabby's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital applied to be magent...but instead got in trouble with

  12. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, she's kidding. Out of all these posts, this is the one that bothers you the

  13. Transition from RN to MD. Need some advice please!

    daisey_may replied to Slayer's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I looked into this, too, for a short time (though I decided not to do it!) It's not so much about the pre-reqs you have to take--it's about passing the MCAT. So, it would probably benefit you...

  14. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    daisey_may replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    OMG, I can't stop laughing about this one. I can just see it all in my head. The best part is-I don't think either of them were lying when they said they had had the worst days in their lives! I'm...

  15. I feel really, really stupid

    daisey_may replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember that C's get degrees! When you get your degree, it probably won't matter if you get an A or B or whatever. It will matter passing the NCLEX. Like what was said in the poster above me,...

  16. Medical Workers wearing scrubs to and from work, outside the Hospital, etc..

    daisey_may replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I think it is a personal preference and if it is YOUR preference to be in street clothes on the streets and scrubs during the day. Idon't think less of anyone who is in scrubs. I figure...

  17. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    daisey_may replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to be a common topic on here. I think that it's true that eventually things will change and CNAs may pass meds. Do I think it's right? No. I don't think that it's going to happen soon,...

  18. Medical Workers wearing scrubs to and from work, outside the Hospital, etc..

    daisey_may replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think that it could be forced to wear only to and from work...maybe to work, but not from. A few years ago a couple of nursing students who attend the college I go to decided to go to the...

  19. Have you ever taken care of a famous pt?

    daisey_may replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    I sat with a confused patient who is the daughter of a major league baseball player. He must have played before the 1960's, though, because she was considerably older and it was no one that I...

  20. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it meant she was used to a different physical appearance on her, not necessarily insulting her. i think what she said was meant to be a light joke...which others have joked about on here too...

  21. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that someone got in trouble for this!!! Did you speak to a manager??? I would have been

  22. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously! Sometimes when I watching court shows on tv...you know what I'm talking about...and you see a registered nurse on there as the plaintiff, and you think "oh he/she is a nurse, surely they...

  23. patient satisfaction

    daisey_may replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

    You know how I feel about patient satisfaction scores? When we get sent a copy of an "anonymous" patient who was unhappy with our floor, it is left in the break room for all to read. We can usually...

  24. Personality Type and Nursing

    daisey_may replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    I am an INFJ. After I took the test and read some of the other posts, I see that a lot of other people are,

  25. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    The few posts here about nurses slipping drugs into other nurses food really gets me. I would never have thought about doing that--or to think that someone would do it to me. Nursing is a very...
