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

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    While I was doing my ER rotation, it was pretty quiet...the biggest action I got was a tetorifice shot, but i learned a lot about relationships. Mostly, the nurse would come back to the desk and...

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

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    After finding this out, the resident looks at me and says, "can't you just give the K+ without IV access?" I said, "Yes, it's called PO" and she said no, and she gestured like injecting a needle into...

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

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I may be mistaken, but this thread is entitled "what have other nurses done that have freaked you out". THere is another thread that is called "your worst mistake" that you might want to take a peek...

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

    daisey_may replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    omg that part where you were worked in the nursing home as an aid is so hilarious! it still cracks me up just thinking about it. can you even imagine her in there desperately trying to put a...

  5. Crocs!

    daisey_may replied to mel1977's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Did someone mention on here that crocs are

  6. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    daisey_may replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    This is already a bad situation--if harm was done to the child, it would get a lot worse. No, maybe this isn't lawsuit material, but this isn't a situation to forgive and forget, love, peace, lets...

  7. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    daisey_may replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    This frightens me! If this person did this to your son--and rudely--who else has she done this to? And other people might not speak up! Good luck and please keep us informed about what

  8. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    daisey_may replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I really think that the entire donation process should be reviewed. There are too many flaws in it...both scientifically and logically. As for some of the things that people aren't allowed to donate...

  9. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    daisey_may replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    It really appauls me. I wonder what could be done though to allow homosexuals to donate their organs if they wanted to. Anybody could have HIV. There are too many people out there who need organs...

  10. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    daisey_may replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I know that everyone's blood is tested, but a person could lie about answering the questions. (I don't know why, but they could). I can't imagine that there would be consequences about lying...

  11. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    daisey_may replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I think that denying a homosexual person to donate organs is completely judging them. I'm an organ donor, and for all anyone knows, I could sleep with a different guy every night. It takes a while...

  12. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    daisey_may replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that you want the patients to take responsibility of their own healthcare--which in the ideal world would be wonderful. I can not tell you how many people I have taken care of that have...

  13. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    daisey_may replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with TraumaRUs, I think that it would be beneficial to follow a few nurses around and see different 'styles'. Yes, a nurse can come off as pushy, but it doesn't have to be that way. I will...

  14. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    daisey_may replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I also wanted to add one more thing. (Sorry, I didn't realize my last one was so long!) I will be done with nurse's training this may. I've been sick with abd pain and nausea for a while, and I took...

  15. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    daisey_may replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a nurse's aid on a med surg floor, and when we get patients who are nurses, the nurse's cringe. They can be the most demanding of people! But when you think about it, they spend all of their...

  16. Cell phones and confidentiality

    daisey_may posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this topic has been touched on, but I wanted to see if anyone else had encountered the same thing as me. The other day, while I was working at the hospital, I was in a patient's room....

  17. Cell phones and confidentiality

    daisey_may replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, when I was younger, my brothers and I had walkie talkies that we would run through the neighborhood with, and we could pick up people's cordless phone conversations if we were close enough....

  18. Cell phones and confidentiality

    daisey_may replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    We don't restrict doctor's from their cell phones at our hospital. They even carry more then one sometimes--one for their family and friends, and one for work, and a pager for when they are on their...

  19. Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    daisey_may posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if there is a thread about this already, but i searched and i couldn't find anything... I was recently reading one of my nursing books and I've been really interested in cultural diversity,...

  20. spooky spooky spooky

    daisey_may replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I think this thread shouldn't be left to die...these stories have made me laugh and

  21. I had to turn in a co worker...help

    daisey_may replied to nuseetravelgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in nursing school, and they warn us about addictions a couple times throughout the semesters, but I'm surprised that nurses still try it. I guess I could never imagine trying to pull...

  23. Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    daisey_may replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I know that it is in within your scope of care and job description, but why do you take the patient's vitals for this nurse when you don't chart them and the nurse doesn't use them? And you cannot...

  24. claiming to be what she isn't

    daisey_may replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I've never come across that, but I met up with a friend I hadn't seen for a year or so and she lied and told me she was a CNA. I talked to her a little about it and I realized that she hadn't done...

  25. What can a RN delegate to a CNA?

    daisey_may replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

    True, but I didn't mean more experience as CNA skills. I meant that I have been taught to assess, to do ng tubes, foleys, IVs, drains, etc. and I meant that as more experience. I have done bed baths...
