  1. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    Daisy4RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The "increased love" you see today is probably from the same people who were screaming at you a few months ago (prior to Covid) because they, or their family, didn't get the meal they ordered, the...

  2. Late entry

    Daisy4RN replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, and without knowing your p/p, I would just add a note asap, something like this: Date/time (whenever you go back): Late entry. Clarification of nursing note dated (add date of your...

  3. Late entry

    Daisy4RN replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    Even when charting was on paper it would have been obvious if you back charted. It is important to always add late entry for a number of reasons, one being to CYA. You should still try to fix your...

  4. I Am Not Ready to Die!

    Daisy4RN replied to spotangel's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for the heartwarming and inspiring article. Stay safe out

  5. Late entry

    Daisy4RN replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    At this point it might be a good idea to let your manager know of the situation. This could, or could not be a big deal depending on the pt, (did the pt need PT etc) . You need to know your P/P for...

  6. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    Daisy4RN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am disappointed and sad that you are so judgemental toward your fellow nurses who are put in such bad situations that these decisions must be made. Every individual needs to, and has a right to, do...

  7. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    Daisy4RN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One could also argue this point the other way. If you work without proper PPE you could then spread the virus around the other pts, staff, the general public etc. (even if just at the grocery etc)....

  8. I want to work for the Union.

    Daisy4RN replied to LC0929's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Looks like they are trying that in Calif too, they say it is temporary....

  9. I want to work for the Union.

    Daisy4RN replied to LC0929's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    In my experience most of the union jobs were not nurses. As the above poster stated the RNs were volunteer positions. I hope that there is more that I dont know bc obviously it would be better to have...

  10. WHO is dissing hot baths?

    Daisy4RN replied to RobbiRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And, if I remember correctly (as taught in school) a mild temp actually helps fight off infections as well. The WHO should clarify. The WHO also did not give accurate info in the beginning regarding...

  11. Hydroxychloroquine is not a cure

  12. HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    That's interesting. I never had those dreams when I was in school (and I assure you it was not because the school wasn't brutal). I think maybe it was because I felt a sense of control over the...

  13. the Theory of Nomenclature

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hi, my name is Luna. My coworkers see me as a great nurse and I am. My patients are always happy and my coworker Tricia is the only one who knows my secret why (and we are not telling). My managers...

  14. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Allow me to translate that last line from Ms HR Bobblehead: We can tell you this: I don't give a flying flip about your concerns and I don't have to tell you a darn thing and I am not going to, so...

  15. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    Daisy4RN replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well (of course) you are entitled to your opinion but I am not sure that too many would agree with you. Here are the reasons I do not: 1) nurses work for a living just like everyone else, other...

  16. GN on a Surgical Oncology Unit

    Daisy4RN replied to KMGS17's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like it will work out well for you, good

  17. HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    I wish I could tell you these post retirement nurse dreams will eventually go away but not sure they will, time will tell. I have been fired and retired but never at the same time, hopefully for you...

  18. HH tips and tricks?

    Daisy4RN replied to TexasmedicRN's topic in Home Health

    Agree that the paperwork is just brutal! I dont know how you are doing it now but here is what worked for me. When doing an admit oasis I would gather as much of the data (not physical assessment) I...

  19. National Day of Prayer

    Daisy4RN posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-national-day-prayer-americans-affected-coronavirus-pandemic-national-response-efforts/ I pray that God will be with all people throughout...

  20. We Did Not Sign Up For This

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I went to nursing school in Calif (albeit along time ago) and didn't receive the disaster training you mention. Although I agree that training r/t regional possible disasters is a good idea I am...

  21. Prayers for COVID patients?

    Daisy4RN replied to TheEternalOptimist's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Maybe you could just ask each individual what they would like. If they are not religious in any way then I would just look online for hospice type materials that you can just print off. I little...

  22. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I have seen some truly sadistic people in the workplace like this (above drawing) . I am glad that you are able to do this. Sometimes we go over things in our minds (over and over and...

  23. HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    WOW!, look at you, not only a fan of Tom but you look exactly like him!! Well I guess if you are yelling "hike" during a baseball game then no you weren't good at were you LOL. But you are a good...

  24. BID Prayer for Healthcare Workers

    Daisy4RN replied to akruthie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank-you akruthie, I am also praying for

  25. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, say it isn't so. I guess your admin did in fact see how low they can go! I hope they didn't drag out more
