    Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED

    Daisy_08 replied to wooh's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh no! There must have been a biological terrorist attack, rendering all of my co-workers stuck to their computers and me the only one to hear and react to the alarms

    Daisy_08 replied to croppyRN's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    My friend did MDS ft for a few years but had to go back to the floor due to cut backs. She was devastated! There were a bunch of ft MDS'ers at the facility-it's very large. Apparently none of them...

    Daisy_08 replied to AlphaPig's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work palliative. Love it. Lots of care for the pt, education for the family and support for both. I feel like I can help the pt have the most symptom free and dignified death and help support the...

    Clinical instructor offended me during clinicals

    Daisy_08 replied to crunchytaco's topic in General Students

    I think your taking her comment the wrong way. Maybe she thought you weren't paying attention, or make a mistake on somthing similar. I wouldn't read too much into it based on what you wrote. I have...

    I Think I Want to be Done with Hospice

    Daisy_08 replied to dialysisnurseLC's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hmm, End of life care may not be the best fit for you if it's taking a toll on your personal life. Try different types of home care or private duty or a retirement home. Generally less stress then...

    Homecare patient got a good bump today, on my watch.

    Daisy_08 replied to PerfectlyPlump's topic in Private Duty

    If it happend the way you say I don't think it's a big deal. Kids fall, they get bumps and bruises, and keep right on going. However I don't know the parents, they may be overprotective. I'm assuming...

    Daisy_08 replied to shawtee's topic in Canada

    It depends what YOU want to do with your career. If you think you could be happy in administrative and supervisor positions forever then I'd stay there. You could become a DOc or NM with some...

    Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

    Daisy_08 replied to SunshineSmile's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you are such a devout Jew or Christian (maybe your another religion, I don't mean to jump to conclusions) I'm rather surprised you would choose to be so litigious as these faiths teach against it....

    BID strictly every 12h or just twice a day?

    Daisy_08 replied to krg8089's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For me it would depend on the med. If is was Acetaminophen, I`d give it and let them know that`s it for the day, Hydromorph Contin - they are waiting. However in this case I`d do a good pain...

    blame the morphine

    Daisy_08 replied to pnhopeful's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That's sad to hear from your co-workers. It demonstrates a lack of knowledge and education. Yes, I hear it from family and try and use those moments teachable ones. But your right it is just sad when...

    Daisy_08 replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I love your post! From what I read you can be my nurse any day (well, after you graduate). It is such a breath of fresh air not to have a student complain about bed baths, turning ect. Many seem to...

    Daisy_08 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked in a a LTC that did this. If you said no you get the biggest guilt trip, and a lot of attitude. It was my first job, I ended up working my self to death. Eventually I got so sick of the guilt...

    Am I just living out someone else's dreams?

    Daisy_08 replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think follow your heart, but don't lose your brain. I don't think you could really make a living off of poetry either. But you can still do it in your free time. Pick a college program that YOU want...

    G-tube vs PEG tube- is there a difference?

    Daisy_08 replied to jmperry's topic in Gastroenterology

    PEG s are a sub type of G tubes. It has to do with the way they are inserted. You will also notice that the tubes look different-where I work pegs are white (may not be the case everywhere).You can...

    Strategy for nursing 2nd career, Toronto

    Daisy_08 replied to protoxeno's topic in Canada

    Volunteering in LTC would give you a leg up in that facility. But I doubt that is not the 'specialty' you are wanting. New plan - get good grades, impress your teachers (references), consolidate in an...

    ONA - Ontario Nurses Association, is strictly for RN's. In Ontario I think it is really just the RPNAO, and now YOU I think the ''events'' at your school, lacking for the PN's is the difference in...
