  1. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    daisybaby replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about

  2. Need some advice on how to deal

    daisybaby replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    For your entire nursing career, you will be taking care of your patients' families. You will be providing anticipatory guidance and teaching to them, calming when your patient takes a turn for the...

  3. Did anyone try L&D and hate it?

    daisybaby replied to RNStudent123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I mostly loved L&D. What I did not love was: -spending more time playing maid/customer service ambassador than I did doing actual nursing care or teaching (and being told by management to do so)...

  4. Ablation for SVT

    daisybaby posted a topic in Cardiac

    Hi everyone! L&D RN here..... I'm going in for RF ablation for svt in a few weeks, and had a few questions I thought you might be able to help with (no medical advice sought- just a little info)....

  5. Clock out by 8am or get reprimanded!!!

    daisybaby replied to RnM21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a coworker who routinely stays a full hour after giving report to chart. She's a good, conscientious nurse, but with horrible time management skills. Because she is easily overwhelmed, charge...

  6. Mandatory daytime meetings for nightshift employees

    daisybaby replied to BizzieRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Katnip, I wish you were my manager when I worked

  7. I was a victim of sexual assault.

    daisybaby replied to wildmountainchild's topic in General Nursing

    I too am so sorry this happened to you. Good for you for getting the help you need- many county crime victims boards have some wonderful, wonderful people on staff- sounds like you are in an area...

  8. hudson valley community college

    daisybaby replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Students I precepted and oriented had problems with meds, foley placement, IM injections especially. I had more than one student tell me they had graduated from SAM's program without ever doing IM...

  9. hudson valley community college

    daisybaby replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York Nursing

    HVCC's program is much, much stronger than Samaritan's. I encourage you to go that route (see my post above). I had the occasion to precept a fair number Samaritan students during their clinicals...

  10. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    daisybaby replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sidestep the member-related responses completely. Say something like, "What I'm interested in is getting your pain under control/helping you get ready for home/teaching you about xyz...etc." Even...

  11. Do you say you're a nurse...

    daisybaby replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm an RN, and I call myself a nurse (not RN). I also call my coworkers who are LPNs nurses, because that's what they are too. It works

  12. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    daisybaby replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As mentioned here and in other threads, health insurance is a business like any other. People often blame the insurance companies for higher premiums with fewer benefits, but fail understand that...

  13. Job Ideas for unlicensed RN?

    daisybaby replied to hereagain's topic in Retired Nurses

    Tough one. Since your license expired, you are no longer Registered. So legally and ethically, you can't market yourself as an RN, even if you tack on 'unlicensed'. Nursing-related jobs in a law...

  14. Can you explain event recorder vs. loop monitor?

    daisybaby posted a topic in Cardiac

    Hi all, OB/GYN RN here... Can someone tell me the difference between an event recorder and a loop monitor? They seem similar to me. Is one continually attached and recording while the other is...

  15. Can anyone help me with this scenario???

    daisybaby replied to dawnprawn's topic in Patient Medications

    You'll need to know how many weeks pregnant she is. If it's not known, a stat ultrasound is in order as soon as the pt. is stabilized. OB's often won't get involved unless the fetus is at least 20...

  16. How do you deal with working weekends?

    daisybaby replied to jensfbay's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For several years, I worked every other weekend (3 12's per week). Everyone else I knew had 9-5 M-F jobs, including my boyfriend. I missed more than my share of Friday night happy hours, camping...

  17. hudson valley community college

    daisybaby replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I attended HVCC's program for my first year, and then transferred to a BSN program. No Miss Beck when I was there (8 years ago), but the dreaded CPE's sure were! HVCC runs a tight ship, very difficult...

  18. Put On Call yesterday then found out.....

    daisybaby replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be making some noise about that! (Although I do have to add, $7/hour for call pay is great- we get just over $7 per shift for

  19. The 'look' that people give you...

    daisybaby replied to theatredork's topic in Burn

    If I met someone who was a burn ICU RN, I'm afraid I might have the same reaction. Not because I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to work c burn pts., but because I don't think I'd ever have the...

  20. IV Contrast Dye Types?

    daisybaby replied to daisybaby's topic in Radiology

    Thanks for the helpful remarks, and the link. I did call the facility where I'm having the MRI and was told they will be using "MultiHance". I'll have a scan done as the contrast is injected, and...

  21. IV Contrast Dye Types?

    daisybaby posted a topic in Radiology

    Hi! OB/GYN RN here......I'm having an MRI of my liver with contrast next week. Can't for the life of me remember what kind of contrast it is, but the clinical specialist told me it will be injected...

  22. Liver tumor- question

    daisybaby posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    Hi everyone, RN from the OB/GYN board dropping by with a few questions... While in the ER with suspected diverticulitis (which was ruled out by CT), a small 3.5cm mass was noticed, incidentally, on...

  23. Vag Exam - attendance at..

    daisybaby replied to HelloAgain's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here, there's no threat of ever having an MD do an SVE without an RN present- how on earth could they get their own gloves and gel, all by themselves? In all seriousness, I think it's important to...

  24. Breastfeeding assessment

    daisybaby replied to babyrn65's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi- we started using the LATCH scale maybe 6 months ago. Nursing staff is to document LATCH scale by way of direct observation (not by merely asking mom how things went) once a shift, at minimum. We...
