  1. Punched by a patient

    Daisy4RN replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. What type of facility, what type of admin, is pt A&O. It has been my experience that nothing happens no matter what the employee does. If the pt was A&O I would file a police...

  2. OSBN Complaint and new APS charge

    Daisy4RN replied to tchippers's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that you are still dealing with this. Sounds like you need to do whatever you can to keep your attorney. It is very strange that the documentation went missing. Try your best because...

  4. Wrongway Medication Icons

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    More joint commission visits DaveyDo? What is going on over there at Wrongway, they must really like you!! I bet you like those visits about as much as this Doctor.....

  5. Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In this situation I think that your coworker is trying to keep the info quiet because she either doesn't want the manager and/or HR to find out. As others have stated it could be due to scheduling...

  6. OK, don't sweat small stuff about patients, especially from glasshouse

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, what's the big deal, give the kid the liquid and be done with it. And, how does that Doc know the parents havent tried anyway. I couldn't swallow pills as a kid either, and believe me my Mom...

  7. Wastefulness in healthcare

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Along with what others have stated regarding the waste because of infection prevention (or perceived risk) I think that there is much waste because patients believe that they are entitled to...

  12. Home Genetic Testing - Should You?

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    My sister and I have dabbled a little on one of those sites to find ancestors etc. but like you I draw the line at DNA. I dont trust those companies to begin with plus I believe if you read the fine...

  13. Primum non nocere

    Daisy4RN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is a big problem and as usual JCAHO has not helped. I remember when this was first implemented, we all had concerns. No nursing or MD judgement allowed. Just medicate. As with many other...

  14. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    When they first stopped keeping them in the box we were told the flushes were a medication, next they said it was for billing, and next to prevent diversion. Nobody had time to constantly wait in line...

  15. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    You have just successfully described JCAHO (thats right JCAHO, not Joint Commission) to a tee!! An Independent org that has too much power and little (if any oversight). Hospitals pay this org in...

  16. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I have seen this too. I think they undergo a procedure much like the stepford wives so they will all be in agreement/act the same

  17. Shared governance

    Daisy4RN replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    While the idea of shared governance is a great idea I have yet to see any committee achieve the goals set in order to provide actual change in the work environment. IMO, most are set up for show and...

  23. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I always though I would work as a Walmart greeter for a retirement job. Maybe a job as a door would be better,

  24. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Aw JC, always coming in with those great ideas, what would we do without them! I am a little confused how that would work. Does the door have an alarm so you all know when someone enters. It would...

  25. Alarmingly true article!

    Daisy4RN replied to K+MgSO4's topic in Nurse Management

    I never said that all helicopter parents are left leaning. The OP was talking about an adult employee's parent being involved (I think), the article presented by the OP talks about parents of college...
