  1. First Time Parents Asked For A Different Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto for my experience with SW as well. Last hospital I worked at they were constantly calling me to do their work even though their office was right on the unit. I diplomatically told them to do...

  2. How to deal with anxiety when there is an "investigation" at work?

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true! It didn't take me long to also come to this conclusion. Not only did it seem like Murphys law kicked it every time I worked an extra shift I always also seemed to be left dealing with...

  3. First Time Parents Asked For A Different Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    @chare, oh gotcha, so start typing the @, with the name of the person you want, a list pops up and you pick the one you

  4. Looking For Advice On A Hospital Job

    Daisy4RN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    The only hope your friend has is if they have paperwork. But even if they did it is still not a guarantee that they would still get those hours. Employers can pretty much do what they want,...

  5. First Time Parents Asked For A Different Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that is a big problem. You are going to need a much thicker skin. Go back and read and learn DaveyDo's comment. Take that to heart instead of other people's comments! @chare I would...

  6. I cant be a nurse anymore

    Daisy4RN replied to Cg134357's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are having such a difficult time. I don't think that working in a SNF/LTC would be less stressful as they are notoriously short staffed. Maybe with your experience you could try a different...

  7. First Time Parents Asked For A Different Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the others that this is quite normal and you should not take it to heart. It was hard for my to be "fired" at first but didn't take too long for my response to be doing a happy dance. It is...

  8. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Daisy4RN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    We all understand when we read peoples posts that there are feelings that OPs have re: what ever situation they are posting about. Perhaps then it would have been more helpful to expound on you...

  9. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Daisy4RN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is also a gimmick used by people who don't like or agree with a poster. They either call them a troll or suggest the OP is lying about how the situation went down,

  10. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I obviously know that vaccines save lives and also, because I can read, what the title of the thread is. But thank you Capt Obvious for, well, pointing out the obvious. What my post was intending,...

  11. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Asking every pt who walks through the door if they want a flu shot. Nurse: do you want a flu vaccine? Pt: If it is free Nurse: there will be no charge. When was your last flu vaccine?...

  12. How to deal with anxiety when there is an "investigation" at work?

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    No it is not good for your mental or physical health! You have received very good advice so far. It sounds like you work in LTC/SNF and also you said you are fairly new. So I would just add (from...

  13. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Computer charting that takes about 3x as long to complete as paper used to be. Add to that the policy that nurses must chart in the hallway in order to be accessible to any and all yahoos that...

  14. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This, plus all the ridiculous data that was added over the years that could easily be collected by admission clerks. This too, I don't know how many hours wasted with yet another...

  15. Nurse jobs that are more likely to be per diem?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseLBB's topic in General Nursing

    You usually need experience in a particular specialty to be hired in that specialty as per diem Some adult units do have some crossover but not all. I would think that med surg would provide more...

  16. What to say to a student who needs encouragement?

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she wore heels, just white nursing shoes. She also had a cute little white hat

  17. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Daisy4RN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are right, the value and view of nurses by admin has significantly changed over the years. And obviously and unfortunately that has also changed by some fellow nurses as well. We should all be...

  18. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    White boards that must be filled out by the RN with highly important data like the date and pt goal for the day. Charting pt response to every PRN med. All policies that have turned the...

  19. What to say to a student who needs encouragement?

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I used to watch "Emergency" in the early 70s when I was a kid. I wanted to be a paramedic but didn't think that girls went into the field. Soon after I started working (volunteer) at the hospital as a...

  20. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Daisy4RN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I agree that the person in your scenario was also unprofessional and used unnecessary snark I disagree that this is analogous to the OPs scenario. There is probably more history involved with...

  21. What to say to a student who needs encouragement?

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I would say to talk to some working nurses of different specialties before even deciding to start nursing school. Nursing has changed for the worse over the years and unfortunately I would not...

  22. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Daisy4RN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    This was absolutely unprofessional behavior on his part, not the time or place and obviously not just simply asking. This guy needs to check himself! Couldn't agree more!! Why is this...

  23. Is it selfish?

    Daisy4RN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true, I have personally seen the difference a good special ED teacher can make. My granddaughter has CP and now has a great one after having a bad one. Kudos to your partner....

  24. Pyxis problems

    Daisy4RN replied to avergowven's topic in General Nursing

    I am afraid I have to agree with BeenThere. If the pyxis wasnt working correctly you still needed to document the waste. You could have either called Pharmacy to fix it or document it on the MAR (or...

  25. Is it selfish?

    Daisy4RN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    While I don't believe that it is selfish to ask your partner I would consider all aspects before making that jump. It might, in the end, cause more problems and stress r/t the loss of income and...
