    DesiDani replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    DesiDani replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Med-Surg to Rehab help.

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    I transfered to Rehab and I love it. After only 3 days I noticed that Rehab has it's own challenges. One is convincing people to get up during night shift to toilet. I'm use to bedpans and urinal, but...

  6. Med-Surg to Rehab help.

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Should I still have them get up even if they already urinated in the bed or just change them anyway? One person told me to have them sit in the chair while I change their pad. I suspect some are...

  7. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

  8. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why ask about changing the conversation on vaccination in order to get more people vaccinated, when the people asking don't want to change their conversation. What exactly does the OP want to change?...

  9. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Those irrationals fears won't be quelled with hostile, unsympathetic rhetoric. People will just resist even more. Well that is how it is being interpreted, especially by those...

  10. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep, pretty much. They shouldn't be employed or around any patient anyway. Their emotional state is the effect, the cause is the mandate. Did they really think that when some nurses...

  12. I don’t want to work extra!

    DesiDani replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

  14. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure the fear of being unemployed is VERY effective?. What I don't get is after a person has decided not to take the vaccine and has lost their job, why are some still blaming them for the...

  15. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    DesiDani replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is cringe worthy and ironically productive for someone to get the vaccine solely out the realization that they will lose their source of income if they do not. Sure they got the vaccine and...

  16. Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    DesiDani replied to suhealth21's topic in Rehabilitation

    I'm transferring to a rehab facility in a month. It is a new place my hospital will send all their rehab patients from sister hospitals there. I'm so excited. I currently work m/s and my unit has...

  18. Did you stay or did you pay when the hospital owns you?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    Your hospital trained you as a new grad and you signed a contract. You HATE your job now. Is it better to stay or leave and payback $$$$$$? I've heard of nurses leaving and paying, but most stay....

  19. Did you stay or did you pay when the hospital owns you?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that if you leave and don't pay it back they will financially come after you. Is that

  20. What was the good and the bad after you transferred?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    You finally decided to transfer to a different unit or even a different hospital within the same system; and you got approved for the transfer. How did things pan out? What were your reasons...

  21. RN as CNA

    DesiDani replied to 512Runner4lf's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So you inform the charge or you call a rapid. Even as a CNA you are still a patient

  22. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sometimes we'll find out the same day. Like I said I don't know the whys, but it happens. Once we had a resident run up to our unit in a hurry, before the pt got to the

  23. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To be honest. I don't know the whys. All I know is the result on my end, in my unit. What you say is true, not doubting that. Still you have to deal with the unvaccinated and those with COVID. I do...

  24. Were you a bully in high school?

    DesiDani replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    Also there is a difference between being a bully, and bullying a known bully to set them straight. Those coworkers are like legends. Love

  25. Were you a bully in high school?

    DesiDani replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    Hey this reminds me of one my BRILLIANT Threads, "Sympathy for nurse Ratchet". Sometimes in nursing you are almost forced to be the "mean girl". If you don't then patients, Doctors, other...
