  1. Auctioneer/Baseball Announcer Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, done that too. Only I would usually get a "well then call the doctor" because I don't want Tylenol I want Norco". And, of course the customer (oops I mean patient) is always

  2. Called Down to HR

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    After reading your fist line I thought wow really (well that is a relief), then I kept reading and realized yeah, kp2016 gets

  3. Called Down to HR

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I can probably already figured this out, but what was their response?? In my experience with these types of situations it is usually an eye roll, dumb look with a shrug, or a simple "well, I don't...

  4. Charge nurse hears me but doesn't listen

    Daisy4RN replied to painmeds's topic in General Nursing

    I would just bypass the Charge and call the MD directly with your concerns. Why are you even asking the Charge if you have 8 yrs experience and already know what s/he will say. Call MD, see what they...

  5. Problem with wound vac

    Daisy4RN replied to missfl07's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way to know what your management will do but it seems unlikely they would fire you over this. That said there are things you probably could/should have done in this situation (and maybe...

  6. Retiring Too Soon

    Daisy4RN replied to ertoclinics's topic in Retired Nurses

    I also am sorry for your situation. I have a very similar situation to yours having a chronic autoimmune illness, it hasn't been easy. I gave up full time work a few years ago, and because I felt like...

  7. Echolalia

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Having sat with many patients myself I think I would rather have a patient with Echolalia than some of the ones I have had. I worked neuro for awhile and had a pt with TBI who kept getting out of his...

  8. Echolalia

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I had to look it up too. Then i saw DaveyDo's other thread (sesrunlla) and thought wow another medical term i have never heard, DaveyDo sure is

  9. Medical Emergencies in Public

    Daisy4RN replied to nurse4321's topic in General Nursing

    I think the answer depends on many factors. How experienced are you, what is the situation (MVA, plane etc), what is your current status (have you been drinking, are you tired), others around etc. I...

  12. Cleaning patients after bowel movements.

    Daisy4RN replied to Kidsrablast's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why you feel that you are being bullied, ridiculed about your question, or not being treated like an adult. People have asked you questions (in an attempt to help you with your...

  13. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    I think that you may be putting yourself more at risk by doing this. If you disagree with both the MD and Sup re: a pt trmt it is not your personal concern, rather it is your professional concern....

  14. Useless Shift Report Information

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I had something happen like this also. I floated to a different unit, got report from NOC nurse and as soon as I was done I was told by charge that my home unit needed me back. Gave report to day...

  15. Cleaning patients after bowel movements.

    Daisy4RN replied to Kidsrablast's topic in General Nursing

    It is not necessarily a simple question. The answer could differ based on the circumstances. Are you taking care of a loved one at home, are you working as an aide, are you at the bedside of a family...

  16. Is 1 L of NS bolus/ hour excessive (total of 3L) for a patient that came in wuth dehydration and acute renal failure

    Daisy4RN replied to what's topic in General Nursing

    As others have stated I would have just called the MD, explained what I saw (pt not connected to IV upon arrival, not sure how much NS given r/t poor documentation, new order is 125cc/hr, want to...

  17. The Weekend of... 7-26 to 7-29-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Mandy sounds like a great House Sup. The first time I was Charge nurse I had a House Sup that was great too. I was a nervous Nellie, always calling her with questions etc but she was always patient...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    All the time!! I could care less about: the patients mothers, cousins, wifes son who will be visiting today, what kind of ice cream they like, what their labs were 3 days ago or what their med hx was...

  21. Your most bonehead moment in nursing. Or 2. Or 3.

    Daisy4RN replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I once tripped over O2 tubing, grabbed the pt curtain which proceeded to swing all the way around the back of the bed to the other side where I ultimately landed on the floor. I once tripped and...

  22. The Weekend of... 7-26 to 7-29-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot tell you how many times I did this very same thing (clean emesis off floor, clean toilet, fix TV etc) because it was just easier and less time consuming to keep calling different depts. and...

    Daisy4RN replied to winniewoman9060ret's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly

  24. Considering Retiring?

    Daisy4RN replied to winniewoman9060ret's topic in General Nursing

  25. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    The problem was not the nurse assisting the MD looking up the dose, the problem was that the MD wanted to give 3X the normal dose (if I understood that poster correctly). I have assisted many Doc's...
