  1. Concerns

    Daisy4RN replied to cubrnjvm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You cannot seriously believe that it is the Republicans. It is quite obvious that it is the Republicans/conservatives who are getting fired, being banned from social media (ie canceled) etc because of...

  2. Concerns

    Daisy4RN replied to cubrnjvm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have read some articles from other people (and know some personally) like you, people who have immigrated from other countries to get away from socialism/communism to only see it creeping into our...

  3. Returning to Work After a Stressful Shift

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    More than likely none of issues you describe were your fault. If you truly think that may be the case I would do a root cause analysis (so to speak) and see if you still feel that way. People do/will...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    So seriously dude, DaveyDude, what the (blankity bank) are you trying to say here. Either 1) I should worry because the tests are sooo hard or 2) your comment is sarcastic and I should just throw my...

    Date: back in the olden days Title of thread: HELP, I am freaking out! Username: ScaredNewGrad Hi y'all, I am hoping for some insight. I just graduated, passed NCLEX, and got hired...

  6. Tell me what you think

    Daisy4RN replied to redhead33's topic in General Nursing

    By 'home unit' I meant your manager/float unit. Your manager still schedules the nurses for float pool, right? So s/he probably wanted you to check with them first so you could cover others sick days,...

  7. Tell me what you think

    Daisy4RN replied to redhead33's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your manager thought you asked the other units for more days and s/he was upset because they felt you should do extra days on your home unit. I would clarify with your manager that they came to...

  8. Cause of Death: Old Age

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    have to go, LOL. Oh the sacrifices we make! Hope you enjoyed putting another candle on your Birthday

  9. Cause of Death: Old Age

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    True, but I also think in the case of a younger person's death by overdose it is also a way of rationalizing their death in order to relieve any possible guilt felt by loved ones who feel they should...

  10. Permission

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

    Count me in, permissions

  11. Advice with burnout

    Daisy4RN replied to ajackson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If I were in your shoes I would keep working a an LVN in order to keep skills active and go back to Interior Design school. If you are already burned out and not interested in nursing it will only get...

  12. Rooty Payne, Psych Tech

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new nurse I worked at a large hospital. There was a housekeeping supervisor who used to flirt a little with me, we started talking and became friends, even if we were just passing in the...

  13. Cause of Death: Old Age

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Happy (early) B-Day Davey!! It seems just like yesterday we were saying Happy B-Day when you were able to get your social security, time flies! I also remember when my Grandmother died the cause...

  14. Worried vaccine accidentally given subq!

    Daisy4RN replied to MNTB's topic in Disaster Preparation

    According to the MD in this article it would be ineffective if given SQ. You should speak to your MD about this for further clarification and any next steps that may be necessary....

  15. Communication Barrier: "Untie Me Now!" | Nurse in Action

    Daisy4RN replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    Another beautiful article, I am glad you were there to help! Reminds me of a situation also. I had a dying patient who only spoke Spanish and her daughter only spoke Spanish also. We had...

  16. What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    At one time I used to feel guilty about calling in sick. That changed over time because at some point I realized that (in most cases) the employer does not give a rats behind about me. Why feel...

  17. Posting Styles

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    LOL, I was going to ask what question until I scrolled down and saw that you already asked that yourself. I don't mind the different posting styles, I think I post different sometimes (but not sure...

  18. Scheduling

    Daisy4RN replied to cbullock's topic in General Nursing

    One place I worked had a vacation notebook. Each month had its own page and the book was started every January. Everyone could put their vacations in the book at any time and it was first come first...

  19. 3rd semester and I still feel useless!

    Daisy4RN replied to peach2218's topic in General Students

    Your feelings are normal even pre covid. Most nurses do not become comfortable for at least a year after school. The fact that you cannot learn/practice skills will not be as big a deal as you think....

  20. Nursing Products We'd Like To See

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    A "smart" work phone that would kick back unnecessary/stupid calls to the caller.. The nurse still knows the pt has a pacemaker The nurse has been on duty for 2 minutes and doesnt know...

  22. How to deal with nurses who don't listen during handoff?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1068752's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe some of that for patients and family too, like "calm" or "tranquil"

  23. How to deal with nurses who don't listen during handoff?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1068752's topic in General Nursing

    I think first you should learn how to read the room. If you are new it might take a little time but learn how different nurses like to receive report (short, sweet and to the point, or more and what...

  24. Empathy and Adaptation

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Could be, but I think it is more both, nature and nurture. But then again I have studied very little psychology. Sounds like an overachiever and/or an oversharer. I had a couple of...

    Daisy4RN replied to spotangel's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sounds scary but I am glad that you are OK. I am also glad tha the ER trip turned out to be a blessing in disguise, God works in mysterious ways indeed! I will be looking forward to the article...
