  5. Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    Daisy4RN replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    I would be embarrassed to be on either side of this. I would not accept nor adopt a nurse. I would donate money (and have) to those in need who are hurting the most from this economic upheaval. Who...

  6. Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    If something went wrong (which it didn't) then it would not be your responsibility, it would be the other nurse who performed the procedure and then yes I would have said something then to cover my...

  9. Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    I dont see that any of the previous posters thought that the behavior was OK, just that your response was over the top. It sounds like the nurse just got in the mode to help and didn't think past the...

  10. Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately I agree with you because that is always the way the cookie crumbles, like it or not. I read a article earlier that was talking about how the billionaires got even more billions just in...

  14. Will working with masks become permanent?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope it doesnt become a permanent thing for nurses nor the public. Masks are very uncomfortable. The last hospital I worked at made wearing masks mandatory for any staff that didn't receive a flu...

    Daisy4RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

  18. Davey Do, Ninjas and Music

    Daisy4RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I second the motion. I tried on HH as a retirement job. It got to be way too much in part bc of the paperwork. I had already done HH previously and it just had changed so

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    Sorry to hear that. I had a few different nursing jobs during my "trying it on period" with the last being at a SNF. Pretty much same scenario as you described, I gave it some time but it only got...

  23. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They dont claim to be ER docs. They did do the research though and there are other researchers who are saying the same thing now that we have more info. Of course they want to get back to work, so do...

    Daisy4RN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Daisy4RN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation
