  1. What do you do if it is YOUR family member who is the rude patient

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    Will it be out of place to say something to your family member? If you are the one taking care of them, do you tell your coworker that their husband's behavior is unnecessary? If you work in the...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Flashback. My mom and dad were divorced when I turned 18, but remained friends. She worked in IMC as an RN. When he would get sick (old age). He would demand that my mom come down. The charge nurse...

  3. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    ON A GOOD NOTE. I was craving some popcorn (microwave packs) on my Friday, so I got a big box and left it at work. My unit does that sometimes, some individuals will bring things for the entire unit....

  4. Famous person as patient?

    DesiDani replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

  5. RNs would you rather sit with the patient or pull the CNA?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    So you are a brand new RN on their last day of training with your preceptor. So you have a confused all over the place patient who needs 1:1 attention and family absolutely refuses restraints...

  6. Does it annoy you when you see employees with little to no direct patient care wearing much needed PPE

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They are likely contracted from a different company, sort of like with lab. I guess they have their own supply. Still you would think that nursing management would strike up an agreement with

  8. Famous person as patient?

    DesiDani replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I was on the floor when a back ground singer to a VERY famous 70s/80s band. I knew the band, but had no clue who this person was. The RNs and CNAs kept going into their room to ask for autographs. My...

  9. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think it matter where a parent worked when they took them to daycare? Are healthcare workers a hassle to deal with for daycare

  10. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    DesiDani posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I mean the love is good, but what happens when the dust settles? Will things improve for all healthcare workers all over the

  11. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    It is not the fault of the restaurant or organization who wants to give us something. They don't know our schedule or how things run, the administration knows

  12. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

  14. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    A little thought: I hope that non healthcare workers don't get in the impression that we are not grateful. I certainly am thankful for any thank you gift. A nice pen that flows and doesn't break in...

    Even if you do manage to get something from the food truck. It is usually placed in the break room with your name on it. Five hours when you finally have time to eat it, the thrill is

  17. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you work 7a -7p or 6a-6p night or day shift. If you work nights you may not get out until 8am and if you work days well you are already at work. Unless you go on your off days. So I guess...

    My job posted a list of places that offered daycare for healthcare workers. One company on the list mentioned "very reluctant to accept business from Healthcare workers" And yes "reluctant" is really...

  19. CNA pressured to work sick

    DesiDani replied to kyle33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She likely would of said the same thing if we weren't in a Covid-19 panic. Now it just makes her words more callous. I picked up a part-time job at a nursing home for 3 months. I typically work at a...

  22. Forced To Resign Being The Only Asian in a CVICU unit

    DesiDani replied to joanjacob28's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not an RN, but I am sorry that has happened to you. Majority races complain all the time when minorities stick together. I have heard "Asian Mafia" or "Filipino Mafia" one too many times at my...

    DesiDani posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have at my job many times. We have ran out of gowns and masks, someone had to go to another unit to borrow some. There has been times when there is a scarce supply in the entire hospital making...

    DesiDani posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I recently asked my charge nurse if I am allowed to wear masks that I have in storage. She told me no, because they are not approved tested masks. I had a bad cold last year and bought those blue...
