  1. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    At first I though it was because many of the Filipino nurses called people mama/papa, but lately I have heard parents (~30s) calling their kids that.

  2. Disrespect & Profanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I was brought up to address people as Miss, Mr, Mrs, Ms whatever the case may be. I also raised my kids to do the same and corrected their friends if they tried to call me by my first name. I believe...

  3. How to deal with Patients who try to make new Nurses look like they aren't doing their job?

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Most pts who reside in a retirement home/LTC do so for extended periods of time and it is their home (physically, legally etc). Therefore, they will ask questions when someone comes into their home....

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing the article. I have had my fair share of grieving in some of these situations and this article is interesting and puts some things in perspective. Death is never easy and can be...

  9. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    That would be great if all those family members actually helped the pt, (and I dont just mean immigrant families), my experience is they only make situations worse, not helping but instead...

  10. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    Daisy4RN replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would check with the board to see if there is anything they could report if you quit (or check state practice act etc), I dont see that there is but I am not familiar with the Wash board. There is a...

  11. DOJ review taking months to review???

    Daisy4RN replied to LJ1's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are having such difficulty with this. I know for my license it was DOJ and FBI, did you have to do both or just DOJ, maybe if both you can try to resend it yourself to the DOJ with the...

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

  13. Restraint Free Facility?!

    Daisy4RN replied to Verygreennurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do not see how this could possibly be safe for pts or staff. I have never worked in a restraint free facility so dont have any practical solutions. I would want to know the rationale, see the...

  14. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have been told (by those who have personal experience), pts in the hospital almost always have a family/friend that can help, those who truly dont have to figure it out, maybe pay someone...

  15. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with Docs and nurses from China, Mexico, Philippines etc. All said that the Healthcare system is like others have described, at least for people who are not wealthy. Basic medical care and...

  16. Call Off Criteria

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you meant calm (not clam) but I have worked with quite a few clams (slimy, lives buried in the sand half the time). One day I was told that the unit needed to send someone home because...

  17. Why is it bad to ask for help during Clinicals, but when you are actually working its fine?

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Emergent, sounds like you have landed in a good place to work. I also had some Instructors in school that were not helpful and didnt like any question, that is just sad because that is...

  18. Staff drama

    Daisy4RN replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Being charge can put you in a difficult place depending on management. Does your manager back you up, do you have Charge nurse meetings (where these issues are discussed and for continuity) etc. Agree...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

  20. Alberta nurses losing jobs...any thoughts?

    Daisy4RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in Nursing News

    Same BS, different day. I am afraid to get sick and need the hospital also, just scary. There is no way to cut the number of nurses and not cut care. I worked in Calif when they implemented the...

    Daisy4RN replied to MissKristenRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    A few observations from working inpatient hospice/palliative and HH. Transitions can be very difficult for pt and/or family. More education would benefit. For example, pt tx from ICU to med-surg for...

    Daisy4RN replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss! I am not sure I understand your situation but FMLA should provide for you to return to either your job or a similar one at your current facility. If you are able to return...

    Daisy4RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you definitely need a thick skin for nursing but without more facts about the situations I cant really give a more specific answer. I will say that it is not unusual for a pt/family to ask...
