  1. Student RN Scrubs

    Daisy4RN replied to Brenwick2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Nor do I! But, by the time they get to a nursing program this should have already been fixed. I agree, the lowering of expectations is not good for

  2. Student RN Scrubs

    Daisy4RN replied to Brenwick2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The problem is easily solved by telling the students what is expected from the get go. Take it or leave it, their choice. I get that some students have financial issues. Mandate white scrub top, white...

  3. CNE Expects Code Nurses To Leave Patients Under Direct Care

    Daisy4RN replied to Tami707's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would not leave the pts you are covering to go attend a code either. The hospital is definitely trying to get away with something. I would point out the BRN quote above and simply ask who will come...

  4. A Day in the Life of a Nurse Working Christmas

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Merry Christmas to all and esp to all those working today. I hope/pray we will all remember the true meaning of Christmas and accept Gods free (to us) gift of salvation. I also hope/pray that we can...

  5. How Do You Politely Communicate With Employees That You Aren't Available?

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely not use the measures you have suggested so far to keep people away. First it is very unprofessional and second it would deter people from coming if there was a real emergency. Do...

  6. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I (along with many others) completely understand what you are going through. Trying to work and do your best for patients within the healthcare complex is a daunting task. The system/admin doesnt care...

  7. I Have Poor Judgment As A New Nurse - Not Sure How To Improve

    Daisy4RN replied to uniteddemclub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you are being too hard on yourself at this point. You need to slow down and think about what you are doing. You have only been a nurse for 2 months and it takes time to obtain experience and...

  8. A Day in the Life of a Nurse Working Christmas

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to work many Christmas Days and although I never wanted to I always tried to make the best of it for myself and my patients who I know didn’t want to be there either. Christmas is about...

  9. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that this is the 'everyone gets a trophy' issue I think it now goes farther than that because kids are now also being taught that they are a victim for whatever reason and so not only do...

  10. I feel like I am a bad nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to Sterling's topic in General Nursing

    It was a mistake, that doesnt make you a bad nurse. Discharge orders should specify where the pt is going, Discharge to home, Discharge to SNF etc. If the pt was transferring to the floor the Order...

  11. A Conundrum

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This is true which is why it is important to have an advanced HC directive and let all your relatives know your wishes while you are still

  12. A Conundrum

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the correct answer. If one wants to be euthanized there are proper channels to go through (ie needs to jump through the hoops). We all have the right to refuse medical treatment unless...

  13. Harassment?

    Daisy4RN replied to B52's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t really see the problem with someone just asking you out (he was not management at that time). And, even if nothing was said when the text first happened why didn’t you just speak to this...

  14. BON Where I’m Single State Licensed Wants To Ask Me Questions

    Daisy4RN replied to Bryan Hurst's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure how that works but I would urge you to not say too much to either BON until you find out what the problem is, (only listen to what they say but don’t respond other than you will get...

  15. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    Daisy4RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would never (and I mean never) allow anyone to stop me from phoning the MD if I felt it was necessary. I have also had many people over the years tell me it wasn’t necessary (who of course had no...

  16. Davey Do's News

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Have you seen this blog DD. I fellow nurse and artist. Thought you might find it interesting.

  17. A Patient Fell, I Almost Didn't Report

    Daisy4RN replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with Emergent. There is no need for even a teeny tiny panic attack. If anyone says anything later just state what you said here, you felt like skipping it but of course did the right thing. I...

  18. We’re all being “fired”! Is this legal?

    Daisy4RN replied to Taylor22's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, in a perfect world maybe. I have worked union jobs and have seen admin fire people for any little thing and the union does nothing. If they want someone gone then they are

  19. Being forced to rotate

    Daisy4RN replied to Eagleschamp52's topic in General Nursing

    I agree this is pretty crappy! I would think you have some wiggle room as you haven’t done this for 2 years. I would try a MD note and if that doesn’t work maybe FMLA (for chronic/intermittent)....

  20. Burnt Out - Hospitals are Stressful!

    Daisy4RN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    You said HH is a joke there but just wondering if you tried private duty. You would have a pt that you stay with all day. As far as the rest you mentioned I would just start looking and applying. Even...

  21. We’re all being “fired”! Is this legal?

    Daisy4RN replied to Taylor22's topic in General Nursing

    I find this a little strange. I worked on an Onc unit and the hospital did their own chemo certification. Later they switched to ONC certification but gave us 1 year to obtain and they said they would...

  22. How do I fix my attitude?

    Daisy4RN replied to frustratedoldnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Who are you getting angry at, admin? If so I also had to change my attitude because I naively thought they gave a rats behind about staff and patients. Once I realized they didn’t I simply stopped...

  23. GIFs

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    thats what I am thinking, but if I know DD it won't take long for something to start clicking in that brain of

  24. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    While I have of course come across a (very) few who do not want to rock the boat a professional nurse can easily distinguish those types of people. I agree (and have stated many many times on these...

  25. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Maybe not in your country but here in the US it is mandated by Joint Commision to perform a spiritual assessment on every pt. If this is done than the nurse knows what religion a pt beliefs/practices....
