  1. Graphic Gossip

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of a time I was Charge (and had been for about 4yrs), the Director of Nursing walked by the Charge desk (where only the Charge sat) and said some nicety like how are you, and then asked "do...

  2. Taking Off Orders

    Daisy4RN replied to defbt5's topic in General Nursing

    It has always been good practice to take off/note orders in a timely manner and also prior to end of shift. I dont think that a nurse needs to have been present in order to note an order (meaning to...

  3. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Daisy4RN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the problem is that everyone is more concerned about being PC/a victim than actually having a real conversation. Calling people names is not the way to have an adult conversation in the hopes...

  4. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Daisy4RN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a big difference between a legit criticism and calling people names (racist, bigot, xenophobe, Eurocentric etc). IMO, some people are way too PC and it shuts conversations down and can also...

  5. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Daisy4RN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is neither bias nor unsubstantiated (and therefore not racist either) to repeat the facts as stated by officials. Add to that, there is nothing wrong with sharing ones personal experience, and...

  6. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Daisy4RN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We do lead by example, that is why HH nurses provide education, that is why we have gov mandated regulations re: food etc. The problem with China and other countries is that they are lacking in...

    Congrats, you deserve the award! It doesn't matter what your admin is doing or not doing, just enjoy the moment and dont let them steal your joy (about this or anything

  9. How to give a 2 week notice

    Daisy4RN replied to penny186's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like you have made a good sound decision. It is hard to leave a place you have worked at for so long but dont let that cloud your judgement; you are caring way more about them than they care...

  10. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Daisy4RN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow, are we medical professionals here. How are stating facts that wet markets have poor hygiene racist and xenophobic. I think most of us know that different cultures have different practices and I...

  11. Graphic Gossip

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I remember that thread from last year. I am sure we have all been there, riding high one day, crash the next; that is why I agree with you to keep your feet on the ground. That said, I think it is ok...

  12. Feeling defeated as a bedside nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to wsunurse14's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like the last hospital I worked at, didnt matter day or night patients just kept admitting and discharging, very unsafe. It was not in my contract/job description to ever be charge but...

  13. New RN Interview

    Daisy4RN replied to NikiRN's topic in Oncology

    Congrats on the new position. I wouldnt go too much in depth trying to figure out Onc stuff because they will train you according to their policies/procedures. If you are going to brush up on anything...

  14. A Mannequin in my Room!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Having a good team always helps, I have worked with good ones and bad ones. Either way, you do seem to be able to keep a calm head and demeanor in those situations, not a small feat for anyone and...

  15. It’s official, I’m switching careers!

    Daisy4RN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    As a (former) bedside nurse for many many years I totally understand the need for a change. I am sure your experience will come in handy in the new role. Having a granddaughter in SE I know how...

  16. Graphic Gossip

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    From the Daisy Foundation website: "We are always taken aback by the humility of nurses who receive The DAISY Award because of an extraordinary act of compassion or a relationship they have created...

  17. Facility closes early and payment

    Daisy4RN replied to hapham3693's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the laws and also the facilities policies but more than likely they are probably not obligated to pay you. I have worked in facilities that have sent home nurses only 4 hrs into a 12hr...

  18. Screw Nursing Caption Contest

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Nurse/screw to CEO: "I told you already, I can't help what I look like, after too many times getting screwed I just morphed into

  19. Do nurses make a difference?

    Daisy4RN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto for me too. Of course we were successful! Even though I haven't always had the time to do things for the pts that I would have liked to, looking back over my many years I can remember those pts...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    So just curious, did anything

  22. Has anyone ever passed out during an emergency or have felt faint? How do you get over the feeling if it comes on?

    Daisy4RN replied to Newbie32's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you will get over this! You need to self reflect and see what is causing the discomfort/stress that is making you faint. Assuming it is not medical (ie low BS etc) it is most likely...

  23. Annual Dog & Pony Show

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I would not say anything to admin. While i agree that this was very unprofessional (and I really am shocked Clark would speak like that, and not much shocks me anymore) i think you would do more harm...

  24. Leaving bedside for health concerns

    Daisy4RN replied to angelsigns's topic in General Nursing

    There is absolutely no reason that you need to stay any amount of time if your health is at risk and especially 5 years. I am sorry for your situation and agree with the others, you need to do what is...

  25. Annual Dog & Pony Show

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like fun. And what could possibly be more fun than 1 all day mandatory dog & pony show inservice (aka skills day), that's right, a 2 day, all day mandatory skills day dog & pony show. I...
