  1. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would not recommend nursing to anyone at this point in time. That goes double for someone in their late 40's. Nursing was a second career for me and for a little while after graduation it was good,...

  2. Rip's Enuresis

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    moral of the story: if you are going to drink too much and fall asleep you better put your depends on

  3. Waiting Around to Die

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    In a sense we are all waiting to die. It is what we do in the interim that has the potential to either be significant or just ho-hum. For most people whether retired or not it is a conscious choice...

  4. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    Daisy4RN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You could also ask if an Antibody test would be accepted. Not sure how long antibodies are hanging around but may be worth a

  5. Likely to be hired soon. Worried about drug test d/t prescribed meds

    Daisy4RN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Every nursing job I have ever had required a physical, some more involved than others. No matter what is involved you can count on a drug screen, just bring you records and RX info. Only give up what...

  6. Tennessee abandons ALL vaccine outreach to minors due to Republican state lawmakers

    Daisy4RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not suspicious bc I was encouraged to be suspicious, another simplest answer! Everyone here is voicing their opinion so may or may not affect someone one way or the other, your self...

  7. Tennessee abandons ALL vaccine outreach to minors due to Republican state lawmakers

    Daisy4RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How many would you consider significant? The science tells us, at this time, that we don't know. No, I wouldn't expect serious SE too far down the road but we really don't know do we? It is...

  8. I don't want to be Charge!

    Daisy4RN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have the option of opting out? If so I would just do that. When I first did charge (many moons ago) it wasnt too bad but I still didn't really like it. I just prefer to do my own thing...

  9. Likely to be hired soon. Worried about drug test d/t prescribed meds

    Daisy4RN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Your only chance here is to be honest from the beginning. You will probably need a pre employment physical, this is where this will come up. Bring all pertinent records and hopefully it will be fine....

  10. The traveler's I've seen... (add yours)

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Hey hey now, don't be picking on travelers. Just kidding, we all know good and bad in every group. I was getting report from one traveler on a pt that needed 3 units of blood. Blood was ready 8...

  11. Type C

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    All true of course, I guess I just would like to think otherwise, hmmm, denial

  12. Type C

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I also like the " I don't walk in their shoes", pretty much the same thing as "we don't know what they are going through". While at work we of course do need to always "be on" (as DD says) I was also...

  13. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    Daisy4RN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Most facilities will more than likely make it mandatory for you to get the vaccine. I myself have concerns r/t this particular vaccine due to the politicization of the covid pandemic. Every person...

  14. Type C

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My Mom used to say something similar. "You don't know what someone could be going through, just give the space and

  15. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    Daisy4RN replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not sure why you are asking me this but I will answer anyway. I have always used Johns Hopkins as a reliable medical resource. That said the info is not infallible. For instance when covid first...

  16. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    Daisy4RN replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are just proving my point. Blindly follow "experts" and "fact checkers", and of course the requisite blaming of Qs,

  17. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    Daisy4RN replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope!! It is obvious to anyone who truly looks at the situation from an objective point of view and gets info from many sources. Not going down that rabbit hole with

  18. Tennessee abandons ALL vaccine outreach to minors due to Republican state lawmakers

    Daisy4RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Hey Mom, why did the government give me that shot when I was 14yo without you knowing it when they didn't know what the long term effects could be, and also knew my brain wasnt fully developed enough...

  19. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    Daisy4RN replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with the majority of your post except this. When using the actual Google search engine you will only see what Google big tech wants you to see. They put the info upfront they want you to see...

  20. Tennessee abandons ALL vaccine outreach to minors due to Republican state lawmakers

    Daisy4RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From a parent and grandparent point of view I would not be happy about my minor children/grandchildren being able to recieve any vaccine or other medical treatment without parent/guardian consent. It...

  21. Natural Immunity

    Daisy4RN replied to IamICU's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would be nice to find out about natural immunity as well as immunity from the vaccine, how well it works, how long it works etc. Unfortunately I don't think we will ever get unbiased info...

  22. Type C

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This is true but I tend to think it is just other nurses joining in on the vent probably because of other similar situations. While this may be true I think that most people would be...

  23. Back to a hospital....

    Daisy4RN replied to HeatherWin's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried calling HR to ask if refreshers would help? I would try that bc hospital may have different requirements/ programs etc. Most hospitals won't hire without "recent" acute experience which...

  24. Florida IPN disaster

    Daisy4RN replied to DFB's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so sorry to hear this. Glad you have a lawyer! Wishing you the best! It may be a good idea to change your username if that is your real

  25. Type C

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I can definitely see how this would help a nurse/caregiver understand pt actions/responses and respond to a pt in an objective manner. But this also would need to be set against the backdrop of...
