  1. HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well then, welcome to retirement!! I "retired" from my full time job about 3 years ago but have been working per-diem until recently. I still don't feel retired, maybe because my last gig was pretty...

  2. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This will be a definite transition/adjustment but luckily for Davey he is equipped with the knowledge (of a psych nurse) to get himself through the rough patches, although sometimes easier said than...

  3. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    It would not surprise me to learn that Clark was the one who found this and tattle taled I am afraid this has been my experience also going out with a clear conscious (applies to this as well as a...

  4. Almost A Year

    Daisy4RN replied to kitty29's topic in Retired Nurses

    After I retired from my full time job I worked per-diem at a few different places but have left those as well. It is hard to keep up with p/p, new info etc when you only work per-diem and quite...

  5. Brooklyn, NY Nurse Beaten Into Coma Has Passed Away

    Daisy4RN replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    So sad! I wish facilities would step up and provide the needed security. I do wonder when I hear "mentally troubled pt" if it was a true illness or a person who has learned how to use it and/or the...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Sooo, it doesnt sound like it went very

  7. The Nightingale Pledge.

    Daisy4RN replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You would not be letting down anyone. If they are true friends they will understand, if they are not then who cares. Everyone does what is best for them in this, or any, situation. Look at it this...

  8. The Nightingale Pledge.

    Daisy4RN replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our gut instinct is usually right. The only reason I would give 2 weeks is if you may want to return there at some point to work, sometimes they will put you on a do not hire list for ever. But then...

  9. The Nightingale Pledge.

    Daisy4RN replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The "organization" has changed to a for-profit model run by business degree's and not medical professionals. The things you state have always been around but worse since this business model has taken...

  10. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Can you call EAP yourself? If they really cannot be there maybe someone else can be there on your behalf just as a witness if nothing else. Same here, fingers crossed!! Not very good timing, what...

  11. Kicked out, mid appointment

    Daisy4RN replied to Silver_Rik's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree that the therapist should have screened prior to the appt. I recently had an MD appt (for chronic issues) and they did a very thorough screening prior to even seeing me in the back office. I...

  12. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    you know, the nicey nice response to your face and then either nothing or wham. Like for instance...."We are so happy that you brought this to our attention, we will look into this further" (blah...

  13. GN on a Surgical Oncology Unit

    Daisy4RN replied to KMGS17's topic in General Nursing

    CONGRATS on the offer! There are risks involved with working on an Onc floor. Chemo and radiation exposure (depending on what your unit does). You will have special training in these measures as well...

  14. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I used to oil paint. Started when I was about 12yo, stopped for awhile and then started again. My friends, family, others would always ask for a painting. Although it was a little flattering it really...

  15. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Or at least running out your PTO, depending on you p/p after you retire etc. When I left my full time job I was only allowed to collect some of the accrued time. If I had a nickel for every response...

  16. Med passes and technical skills- I'm asking for advice not just to gripe

    Daisy4RN replied to 2ndchance85's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    First of all, it is perfectly OK to post something not r/t to Covid-19. It would be worse not to seek guidance and opinions and just keep trying to figure things out. You are still fairly new and you...

  17. Am I being overly cautious? Covid-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Orion81RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In addition to all the other great advise... Maybe she could use a mobile app (like you version bible app) to keep in touch with Church friends, they have bible studies etc that you can "invite"...

  18. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like admin is always scrambling but IMO usually for the wrong reasons. If they were proactive instead of reactive there probably wouldn't be so many

  19. Really America?

    Daisy4RN replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Big difference between living believing that a crime is right around the corner for you and accepting that it is a reality that it could happen and if you are not prepared you will have no way to...

  20. Really America?

    Daisy4RN replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, I do not usually believe the mainstream news. I was just answering the question asking why people who already owned guns/ammo would buy more. In this case the gun shop owner and new buyers were...

  21. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this also, that is always the MO, stall until next week, repeat until said person goes away Agree, they are probably stalling until Davey either quits or quits sending complaints. Although...

  22. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I would tend to agree that this is not gonna go your way but you never know. If Rita tried to call you maybe? I also saw the original star wars in 1977 and years later my boys loved flailing...

  23. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    You are the last Jedi, may the force be with

  24. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I have seen this way too many times. Not only with trouble makers but lazy employees

  25. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in that case Happy Retirement! (I know that you have already discussed this with your SO but just make sure the decision isn't totally based of feelings) Well, by then next moon you should...
