  1. Show drivers license to patients in home health

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1074618's topic in Home Health

    I cant imagine whos bright idea this was. There is no way i would show my DL to any patients. Most of the pts I saw I didnt even want to show my badge. Nope, wouldn't do

  2. New RN Interview

    Daisy4RN replied to NikiRN's topic in Oncology

    Congrats on getting to the interview. Besides all the normal interview questions I would want to find out about training specific for Oncology pts in general, and specific to the type of unit also,...

  3. Recognition

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I recognized Dr Johnny Fever. I guess that shows my age

  4. Recognition

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I have always tried to not need external validation also but of course it is nice to get it once in awhile. I got more than a few letters from patients and families when i worked Onc. You do tend to...

  5. CPR Mouse

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    I wonder what it means if you build the castle and also live in it! Nice to "see" you DaveyDo, y'all come back now ya

  6. Oversight from nonclinical staff?

    Daisy4RN replied to nursesunny's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, depends on what you mean by "clinical practice". Would I ever let anyone, even my CEO, make me do something unsafe/unprofessional? That is most definitely a NO! Do they make changes that we...

  7. Feeling forced to be the house supervisor

    Daisy4RN replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    If it is a true rehab it might be better staffed the the SNF. Either way you already know you dont like your current job so why no try it out. Even if it turns out to be similar (most SNF/LTC are...

  8. Nurse asks, 'Did you know I was there?' in touching viral post

    Daisy4RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Taking care of a person who is dying and/or post mortem is both difficult and beautiful at the same time. Ty for posting, very moving

  9. Feeling forced to be the house supervisor

    Daisy4RN replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, most definitely. I should have mentioned that,

  10. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Daisy4RN replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    Doesnt sound like the RN delegated. Maybe the tech took it upon

  11. Feeling forced to be the house supervisor

    Daisy4RN replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, i have also seen the same thing. If you show up and no supervisor i would just call ADON, let them know no supervisor and see what they say, if they "request" you stay and be Sup (and you dont...

  12. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I dont have a problem with any hospital serving vegan or other options for patients. But, i think the the gov mandating it is definitely over reach. With all the push for customer service the hospital...

  13. Finish the Toon!

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Alright people, we obviously misdiagnosed this one. Lets try again get it right this

  14. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Daisy4RN replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the tech needed to be reported if out of their scope. I would assume she would be fired. How is the

  15. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Daisy4RN replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    Certified surgical

  16. Feeling forced to be the house supervisor

    Daisy4RN replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    I find it odd that the scheduler would ask you to speak to the ADON instead of either the ADON or DON just speaking to you directly, you would need to be "hired" into the position prior to scheduling....

  17. Blood Bank Nurse as a New Grad?

    Daisy4RN replied to TeachEm's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on how badly you want to work in the hospital setting and your long term goals. There is no need to ever work in the hospital if you dont want to and many nurses have more job...

  18. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are in the middle of this mess. Nobody knows how far this situation may, or may not go. Hopefully it will just blow over but you just dont know. I was not advocating for you to ignore...

  19. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you should be concerned! You were asked to speak to your hospital attorney about a pt you took care of, they dont do that unless there is already a big problem or they are anticipating a big...

  20. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    While it is true that the hospital attorney would provide the nurse some level of protection it is also true that the hospital attorney will always have the interest of the hospital first and foremost...

  21. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree. Maybe on the surface but when push comes to shove who do you think the hospital lawyer will side with. Follow the money, the hospital lawyer's salary is paid by the hospital, not the...

  22. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    Reiteration of my above comment: Please do not speak to the hospital attorney before speaking to your own attorney. The hospital attorney works for the hospital, not you and does not have your best...

  23. Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    Daisy4RN replied to StillSearchingRN's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry you are having such a hard time. I would also recommend FMLA when you are eligible but just make sure you research and know the rules ( for example, you need to work a certain amount of hours...

  24. Call from Risk Management to speak with Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    You are most definitely not being paranoid RubyJane! Snickers, do not speak to any lawyer, or for that matter your HR/RM dept, without first speaking to your lawyer. The hospital lawyer is not there...

  25. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    Daisy4RN replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am so sorry for what you had to go through. I would most definitely make those calls. Her behavior goes way beyond being just a silly idealist teenager. We were all teenagers at one point but not...
