    Daisy4RN replied to belle05's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your (personal) story. I am sorry for this difficulty you are facing and hope it works out the way you like. I agree with dianah that it is nobody's business and you should not...

  2. Alarmingly true article!

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

    IMO, it has everything to do with the article because the attitude carries over to college where in some cases it is reinforced, this is a negative double whammy that is hurting these kids and causing...

  3. Alarmingly true article!

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

    Helicopter parenting is alive and well in the US also. I think that some college's just make the situation worse by purposefully hindering students from hearing diverse ideas. They may preach...

  6. Bizarre Behavior by RN Employee

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

  7. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    Daisy4RN replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think (depending on where you live/work) it would be feasible to find employment that would allow you to avoid working with young girls. If in the hospital just work in an adult unit (not peds). I...

  8. Do I give up Nursing? How do I survive?

    Daisy4RN replied to NRNPH's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, IMO you should not quit just yet. It is very hard to believe and accept that management/admin doesn't really care about patients/safety. When I first started nursing I was quite naive regarding...

  9. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    Daisy4RN replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    I thought the OP meant he was worried about the females not wanting him. After reading the post again I see maybe he means he doesn't want to do "indiscriminate" procedures/tasks. Hmm.. OP: what is an...

  10. How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  11. It Can Happen to You: BON

    Daisy4RN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    I dont like the idea that the board considers that you are a nurse 24/7. This is a ridiculous outdated idea that should change. Employer's do not pay me 24/7 so it should not be their, nor the...

  12. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    Daisy4RN replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    If Islam allows you to see and touch a female when it is a medical necessity, and if you are the nurse then it is a necessity isnt it? I am female and have on numerous occasions performed certain...

    Daisy4RN replied to iheartnursing91's topic in General Specialties

    I havent made the move from NY but have lived and worked in Calif. Expenses are also high in Calif but that also depends on where in Calif you are planning to move. Do a little research online on...

  14. How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  18. The Art of the Brain Sheet

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is purity!! I remember when I first started nursing. I used a plain piece of paper folded into quarters and used one quarter per person. No formalized "brain sheet", just a blank piece of paper...

    Daisy4RN replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    Have you verified this with the Nurse Manager, could be the secretary is just trying to make it easier for him/her. The constant calls drove me crazy too, we had phones and the secretary would just...

  21. Caption This Cartoon Nurses Week Contest

    Daisy4RN replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

  24. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    Daisy4RN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that things are getting worse and nobody is listening (who can right the situation) because of, well you know, the almighty dollar. Admin knows and that is why nurses are told not to say things...

  25. Supervising difficult cnas

    Daisy4RN replied to honeybee3383's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have run into this situation a few times. Best way for me was to show respect for what they already know (which is probably about everything) and just concentrate on asking them to do those tasks...
