  1. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well, technically speaking the manual does state that RNs have the authority but it doesnt state that ONLY RNs have the authority so maybe they need to be more specific, though it should be obvious to...

  2. CDC Expects Community Spread of Coronavirus In U.S.

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We don't even have all the facts and I hope that this will clear up soon, but I agree it is better to prepare just in case. Either way I think all people would definitely benefit from politicians and...

  3. Pt is always asking for me to buy her things?

    Daisy4RN replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    If you really are unable to extricate yourself from this assignment you just need to know where to draw that boundary line and keep it. Dont engage in the chit chat when she is just trying to push the...

  4. opinion on flu vaccines

    Daisy4RN replied to florida2001's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccinations.htm The CDC has good info as well as your local pediatrician. The flu vaccine is one of the vaccines that does not always end up with good efficacy rates...

  5. Many Turn to Craigslist For Lifesaving Drugs

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    IMO, it is a combo of greed, over regulation, and and our hyper litigious society. I have been angry also, I know a pt has (already paid for) medication, is headed down to pharmacy to obtain the exact...

  6. "Freebirth" - Dangerous Movement is Placing Expectant Mothers and Their Babies in Danger

    Daisy4RN replied to FullGlass's topic in Nursing News

    Agree, it is sad that people are just listening to total strangers and basing their medical care on their "expertise". I get how people want to avoid the hospital but we need some common sense. I...

  7. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, watch you back DaveyDo, same here. Keep us

  8. Coronavirus Update - WHO Declares Global Health Emergency

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL, I am not a troll. There are many things (medications, environment etc) that can alter one's immune system making them more susceptible to bacteria, virus', cancer etc. I don't see how this is...

  9. Coronavirus Update - WHO Declares Global Health Emergency

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree. It was a simple (and IMO a sincere question). The scientific method begins with a question and then proceeds from there. We also use a form of this in nursing called the nursing process....

  10. Pt is always asking for me to buy her things?

    Daisy4RN replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    She is "pretty much independent", and she "drives". Not sure why she needs a HH nurse and/or caregiver and that may be part of the problem. Maybe she sees you as more of a friend instead of her care...

  11. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Daisy4RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    You only think that LOL, I have told many people that, although a little more diplomatically. I never tell other heath care staff that I am a nurse unless it becomes necessary and even then I say it...

  12. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    100% with ya DaveyDo, just make sure when you are riding that white horse with the burrs under your saddle blanket that this is the hill you could possibly die on cuz you never know what the outcome...

  13. Coronavirus Update - WHO Declares Global Health Emergency

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thought you might find this article interesting. Read down to the bottom where it states we just dont know and only time will tell if 5G will cause problems....

  14. Coronavirus Update - WHO Declares Global Health Emergency

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If we dont ask questions how will we share knowledge and learn from each

  15. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Why do people who are not nurses feel the need to stick their nose in it, IMO, they have way too much time on their hands and it is just infuriating when they waste yours My first thought

  16. What’s with “researching” patients before clocking in?! Is this a standard?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in General Nursing

    If you have been given your pt list for the day then there is no problem with HIPAA even if it changes, the problem comes when nurses come in early and peek at the list and assume it is finalized when...

  17. What’s changed since 2004?

    Daisy4RN replied to RenRN's topic in General Nursing

    "What’s changed since 2004?" Absoluty everything (ok 95% of things) and none of it for the better (ok maybe 5% of things, example RRT was a good change). Lack of autonomy, lack of resources, lack...

  18. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with personality types like Clark is that they know they are being disruptive, causing problems, unnecessarily throwing their weight around and not only do they not care they enjoy it and...

  19. Home Health Weekend SOC nurse salary?

    Daisy4RN replied to Amanda Vogt's topic in Home Health

    I would want to know a few things. How many SOC's do they expect per day, or per weekend. SOC's can take a lot of time and if they expect too many you will be doing charting on your own time. Find out...

  20. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    "If profanity offends you, you should go work somewhere else". Wow, is this really either how far we have come, or how far we are headed in society/the workplace. How sad! Good luck DaveyDo, cant...

  21. Many Turn to Craigslist For Lifesaving Drugs

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    People have been sharing drugs for a very long time. When I worked HH and would go to retirement type homes, mobile home parks, apts etc it was common place for people to have get togethers to...

  22. What’s with “researching” patients before clocking in?! Is this a standard?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed this happening in the last few years I worked in the hospital. It was annoying to me because the oncoming nurses would plop down and take over the computers. I would not come in early in...

  23. Do you consider an infiltrated IV a medical emergency

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    Not an emergency unless it is a vesicant. How is it possible that this idiot is able to reprimand you for any medical issue,

  24. Heartbroken

    Daisy4RN replied to Snowchild's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your losses. These are both major life changes so give yourself time to grieve and take one day at a time. File for unemployment if that is possible and depending on your finances...

  25. Thank you

    Daisy4RN replied to Potatoey13's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad that you are doing well. I wish continued wellness and happiness for your family and career. Good to hear from
