  1. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    Daisy4RN replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with one of those also, ate the lunch or what ever part she wanted and then went around bragging about it. What the

  2. Is it mandatory to do an exit interview?

    Daisy4RN replied to NCCONFUSED's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of not doing an exit interview affecting your license but I have also never heard it being "mandatory". If you signed some kind of contract you may want to check it. I have never...

  3. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Daisy4RN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I became a nurse for both reasons. It was a second career for me and I wanted one in which I could help others as well as make good money. I don't see a problem either way as long as you...

  4. Real Talk- "Ideal" Nurse Personality?

    Daisy4RN replied to BSNbound21's topic in General Nursing

    I share some of your personality traits as well. That said, it is not always a good thing to act on some of those traits, and even if it is, sometimes a little finesse can go a long way. For instance...

  5. OSBN Complaint and new APS charge

    Daisy4RN replied to tchippers's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand your dosing. Either way you don't say how/why this pt died. There could be many reasons why this pt died that don't have anything to do with not receiving the Vanco. That is why you...

  6. OSBN Complaint and new APS charge

    Daisy4RN replied to tchippers's topic in General Nursing

    So if I understand you correctly, the pt was dc'd from SNF to Assisted Living and was supposed to continue Vanco 12 more doses but received only 2 more? What were the DC orders from the SNF. If the dc...

  7. Should I have accessed her port?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that nobody who is not properly trained should be accessing the port. That said, in this case if i were you i would not have accessed at the time you had the pt bc as you stated pt already had a...

  8. Dubious Victories

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that a long long time ago too but that has since changed, not recommended bc of the choking risk. In this case i also didnt know what the problem was. If i knew it was low BS and nothing else...

  9. Seattle is Dying

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I have seen this over and over. I had pts in the hospital being dc'd, the hospital is mandated to not dc to the street (even when the pt wants to). Social worker, case manager etc spend...

  10. Dubious Victories

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Respone to Tricia's post. I gotta stop doing this on my phone

  12. Dubious Victories

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I was flying once and came back from the BR and noticed a teenage girl who looked like she was ill (leaning over with her head in her hands). I didnt think too much about it but kept watching her,...

  13. Seattle is Dying

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, seems all politicians are only working for themselves/political power, not us the people. I have been both Dem/Rep and now

  14. Seattle is Dying

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes people in liberal states do vote in those politicians. Maybe thinking that they dont mind helping the homeless with their tax dollars. Problem is the bureaucrats are not using the money they...

  15. Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    Daisy4RN replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree it is staffing and/or management's problem. At the last hospital i worked at i was on orientation for 2 weeks, but was on new hire probation for 1 year. They could let you go and never...

  16. Seattle is Dying

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They have seen it for a very long time but chose to turn a blind eye. I dont know about OR, or WA but in CA they continue to raise taxes, fees, etc on the middle class to such a high degree which...

  17. Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    Daisy4RN replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with all other posters, just say no! The only thing i would add is if you are still on new hire probation i would pick up a few to show you are a "team player", because if on probation still...

  18. Seattle is Dying

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    To the list of Seattle and SanFran you can also add Portland, LA, San Diego and to a lesser degree Anahiem/Orange County. Yes, what great government leadership on the West

  19. One more day closer to retirement

    Daisy4RN replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    Why do you assume that you did anything wrong. Some workplaces are, or become, toxic because of management or other staff. This is not your fault so please do not take any responsibility for that. The...

  20. One more day closer to retirement

    Daisy4RN replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    Kitty, Yes, you will be ok!!! Please dont let the last few years be what you remember about your long career. The work environment has been worse everywhere and most older nurses are treated badly on...

  21. Gaining experience/knowledge in HH

    Daisy4RN replied to sunnysideRN's topic in Home Health

    I concur with the other poster that of course you cannot know everything and should not feel bad about that. You can and should use whatever resources are available and fill in the rest with...

  22. Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    Daisy4RN replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    The last hospital i worked at wanted a reassessment of every prn med given. So for nausea a nursing note would go something like this: pt had relief of nausea after Zofran. Although pt educated many...

  23. Accept New JOB??? Not sure....

    Daisy4RN replied to Solid Sweetie Coyote's topic in Home Health

    IMO unless there is a significant monetary benefit I would stay where you are. If you like the current job and have low stress that is going to change with a typical HH position. I assume you will be...

  24. Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    Daisy4RN replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    The recheck after prn meds has at least been around 20+ years. What is new is the punitive measures for not charting it, and also adding in scheduled meds for reassessment. JHACO, hospital P/P, and...

  25. Lassie to the rescue!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well, OK then I'll share... When I worked Oncology (many moons ago) we were always hypersensitive to IV's beeping because of the vesicant nature of (some) chemo drugs. We would check each others if...
