  1. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    You most certainly can (and it is your responsibility to) question and when appropriate refuse any intervention including medication administration. So you are saying (after receiving MD order) you...

  2. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    Exactly!!! We (as nurses) are paid, and it is our job and responsibility, to know which drugs can be given with other drugs, and which doses are safe and appropriate for not just a patient but a...

  3. My STRUGGLE With The NCLEX!!!

    Daisy4RN replied to 00MissRN00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am so sorry you did not pass. I hope that you take some time to heal from this bc if you are "exhausted" in every way from this experience that is what you need to do first and foremost. I dont know...

  4. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well that was a short lived euphoria wasnt it?! Yep, sounds like a typical JC solution to me. I think I would rather continue to be a door than locked in a room with anyone. Be safe out

  5. New NCLEX Exam to Replace Nursing Process With An Untested Clinical Judgment Model

    Daisy4RN replied to Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre's topic in Nursing News

    I agree that at the end of the NCLEX is probably not the best way to have "research" done. People will be stressed and tired and either blow off the questions completely or just mark anything to get...

  6. New RN, how to save face

    Daisy4RN replied to ERN19's topic in General Nursing

    I would not give it a second thought! Everyone says stupid things at times, everyone. You do not need to save face to anyone. If anyone says anything to you I would just laugh it off with something...

  7. The Weekend of... 7-12 to 7-15-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Elenaors kids...HaHa Daisy's kids were known to do that a time or two even after told not to call unless it is urgent.. Apparently I didn't do a good job of clarifying urgent "Can we eat this/that...

  8. My STRUGGLE With The NCLEX!!!

    Daisy4RN replied to 00MissRN00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am sorry you are having a hard time with this, did you check yet? There is not shame in not passing, I hope you pass this time but if not you will just keep moving forward and try again. I know it...

  9. One more day closer to retirement

    Daisy4RN replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    I think it gets harder when you get closer bc you just want to be done already! I am happy for you that you are able to retire early (at56). I quit the hospital full time but still work per-diem. I...

  10. What is it like to work in a good hospital?

    Daisy4RN replied to Green Tea, RN's topic in General Nursing

    What is it like to work in a good hospital? I will tell you when I find

  11. The Weekend of... 7-12 to 7-15-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I remember when they started this nonsense also. I am not sure how they expect you to answer every (stupid) call at all, but esp, within 3 rings and esp. when 90% are not even for the nurse...

  12. Innumeracy

    I so wish I could say I am shocked about this but, well, ya know I

  14. LVN - Med-Surg

    Daisy4RN replied to nurseanngie's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a hospital that had RN/LVN teams. We were assigned a pt list and the LVN did the medications (PO, SQ, IM), started PIV/fluids (some), did care plans, drew labs (timed) when lab not...

  15. The Weekend of... 7-12 to 7-15-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of an "elderly" nurse that I knew when I first started nursing. She had been at the hospital forever and still worked per diem, I also worked per diem (but had a home unit) so I was...

  16. One more day closer to retirement

    Daisy4RN replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    Same here NFuser, same here!! How is it going Egglady, still hanging in there, hope it is not too

  17. Admissions and Post-ops

    Daisy4RN replied to PineapplePopsicle's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    These unsafe practices are one of the reasons I left beside, no it is not bc you are a new nurse, but it does make it harder for you though. Good luck, it will get a little

  18. The Weekend of... 7-12 to 7-15-19

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I bet Mandy knows that DaveyDo is also mischievous and could have possibly used the keys to sneak in somewhere he didnt belong, therefore just covering the bases

  19. Are we not asked to give to much?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry that you are having such a hard time right now, all your posts seem to point in that direction. I worked HH 20yrs ago and also recently, I know the paperwork and demands are relentless now,...

  21. PROBATION with RESTRICTED RN LICENSE - NOW RN REINSTATEMENT : FORMAL HEARING

    Daisy4RN replied to JC4me's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she should have contacted the MD bc the meds/IV were late, just to let them know. OP, i am sorry for your situation. Because you already have a few strikes against you, and bc you want to...

  22. Wrongway Medication Icons

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, they are still worried about that door?! You might get tired of singing 'camp town races' so i have another suggestion for you. How about 'break on through' by (you guessed it) The Doors, might...

  23. PICC Line Dressing Change Question

    Daisy4RN replied to AgMPLGRL's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of MAs being allowed to change any CVL dressings, some places do not even allow LVNs to change those. So, does your facility p/p specifically state that you (as an MA) can change...

  24. PICC Line Dressing Change Question

    Daisy4RN replied to AgMPLGRL's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check your written policies/procedures. Are you sure you are supposed to be changing PICC dressings at all. Where I come from only RNs can do that (not even LVNs) because of the assessment...

  25. Mini Rant

    Daisy4RN replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I also am sorry for the situation you are in right now. Just wondering if it would be possible to add a note somewhere on the application that states all your experience, or if you could email HR with...
