  1. What's the Difference Between Right-To-Work and At-Will employment?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This was also my problem with the Union in California. Not using the dues for its members/nurses. Our unit also called a few times for various issues and (surprisingly!) they were not receptive to...

  2. Return to nursing possible? Looking for advice/similar experiences.

    Daisy4RN replied to BeatriceBee's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you tried to get a job yet? If you haven't you might want to try first before spending the money. Maybe with clinic experience you would be able to get a job there. Either way, I don't think...

  3. Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    Daisy4RN replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know about y'all but I would not want to trust Amazon and/or their employees. There is a way to turn on the privacy settings but who knows. I would not want this is my house or my hospital room....

  4. Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    Daisy4RN replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming it works as intended! Alexa, call the nurse ….for all your above

  5. Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    Daisy4RN replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Five years sounds about right to me, I am surprised it took that long,

  6. Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    Daisy4RN replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a horrible idea to me. Just more money wasted so the hospital can look good. This program would be abused and like Tricia stated nurses can still only be in one place at a time and...

  7. Chicago Hospital Sending Letters to Parents of Unvaccinated Children

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    Sounds like a good idea to me. The parents might need more than a "reminder" but this is a good start. Saw something on the news about some (misinformed!) parents having measles parties to...

  8. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Ha Ha, I guess I forgot my sarcasm emoji?. In case that one doesn't work and just bc I like ya, I will re-phrase lol. I have absolutely no qualms in believing that this CEO is a total and complete...

  9. What's the Difference Between Right-To-Work and At-Will employment?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info. While i dont agree with everything about Unions, this aspect does help with stress levels in at- will states so nurses dont have the constant threat of termination hanging over...

  10. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I hope for the sake of patients and nurses in Illinois this passes. It wont make things perfect but it is a step in the right direction. I was in California when ratios were implemented and while some...

  11. Career Advice from Barbie (yes, THAT Barbie)

    Daisy4RN replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Uh oh, sounds like some shenanigans going on there, someone better keep an eye on Barbies dream house, just

  12. Who designs the layouts of these hospitals anyway??!!

    Daisy4RN replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    RubyVee's post reminds me of a similar situation. I was working at older hospital that was remodeling and the NM asked me for input. I was so excited and started telling him my many ideas for...

  13. PARTING GIFT

    Daisy4RN replied to RNfindingherway's topic in General Nursing

    In me experience this has been just the opposite. The coworkers give the outgoing nurse a gift, potluck, order out lunch, something along those lines. I have never given gifts when I was the one to...

  14. Who designs the layouts of these hospitals anyway??!!

    Daisy4RN replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. No hospital I have ever worked in was nurse friendly, even newer ones. I don't know why they don't get nurse/staff input with the architects prior to building, probably because...

  15. sad that my nursing mentor is quitting and said horrible things

    Daisy4RN replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like there is more to this story than meets the eye. I cannot imagine any NM/DON firing a nurse based on what an orientee stated. Some one is either lying or in denial. If it really bothers you...

  16. Career Advice from Barbie (yes, THAT Barbie)

    Daisy4RN replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh my, sounds like Barbie needs a long vacation! But of course we understand how she became jaded over time. You go girl!! I worked with a girl that looked just like Barbie. We came to work for a...

  17. I have made a complaint against an NP

    Daisy4RN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sarcasm?? You forgot the emoji

  18. I have made a complaint against an NP

    Daisy4RN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like you did the right thing on both accounts. I dont work psych but it sounds like she didnt do the work in dc'ing the meds that needed to be done. I also dont like when people do not dress...

  19. Safe Staffing Levels for In-hospital Nursing Units

    Daisy4RN replied to NURS5870's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Exactly, that is why we need more than just ratios. Your hospital sounds like you have got it

  20. Safe Staffing Levels for In-hospital Nursing Units

    Daisy4RN replied to NURS5870's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I agree that ratios are important they need to be the starting point, not the end. I have worked in Ca with the ratios and my experience was not as @nursebeth described. We had minimal staff on...

  21. Is it me? Need guidance and thoughts!

    Daisy4RN replied to Tamygutchi123's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like management just wants everyone on the resource team to be on the same page. Since this is a new position for you there are probably new rules (P/P) that need to be adhered to for this...

  22. "Poor Thing!"

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be shy now, tells us how you really feel, LOL!!? I have been both those nurses at times, sometimes feeling really bad for people even though it was their own poor choices that brought them...

  23. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    Daisy4RN replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    I wish we had a policy at that time, it was a long time ago, there is probably one now. It was so frustrating bc I always (95%) brought my own lunch not only for convenience (large univ. hospital and...

  24. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    Daisy4RN replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, you watch it there pilgrim ?, that was a little bossy. And fyi that was me? watching my language

  25. Please Help!!

    Daisy4RN replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    How much do you pay? I may make a career change! OP: do what ever you like and makes you happy and able to unwind, enjoy it while you
