  1. Opinion Rhapsody

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Humor

  2. House Supervisor Test Question

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Well then, don't I feel stupid, I guess that one went right over my head! (you know I was just kiddin with ya tho

  3. Everyone thinks they have the measles

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well at least the parents care enough to have it checked out. I read an article about a man that was arrested (WI I think) that knowingly went to work out at the gym after his MD told him to stay away...

  4. House Supervisor Test Question

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, did I hurt your feelings. Well I have one more comment (AKA trigger warning) before I try to explain myself in a more appropriate manner (AKA therapeutic communication): Relax DaveyDo and don't...

  5. "ASKholes"

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have met some of these Askholes in person as well including patients. I like to respond with "Why did you ask me if you didnt want to know". They can be frustrating. Agree that i also dont...

  6. "ASKholes"

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

    Be careful with the snowflake comic without first issuing a trigger

  7. Do as I say, and not as I do.

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, every unit has a Clark. We had a whole hospital of Clarks that ran around the units following the nurses with clipboards making sure the nurses either washed their hands or sanitized. Problem was...

  8. House Supervisor Test Question

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a trick question?! Since the originals get filed in the pt charts she should take the stack A because the pastie, oops i mean post-it, on stack B has an arrow pointing to stack A as being the...

  9. smokers and coughing

    Daisy4RN replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I have known some smokers to just always say they have a cold because I guess they are either embarrassed or just don't know why they are coughing. Some I have told, "it is because you smoke", and...

  10. Has internet fueled anti-vaccine movement?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you that the internet and social media has caused a lot of problems in society as you have mentioned. It is scary how many people just blindly believe whatever they read/hear! Some people...

  11. My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    Daisy4RN replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Learning this skill can be difficult. Like you I never needed IV skills when I first started so never really learned until later when I need to. I know you want more than keep trying but the more you...

  12. Was I Being Lazy?

    Daisy4RN replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

    None of us were working with you to know if you are lazy or not. You don't say why you left that job. Was there other such incidents? If it was just this one incident I would not consider you to be...

  13. Bad Interview - Should I withdraw?

    Daisy4RN replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that I would withdraw if you are sure that you would not accept a position. I would consider though that maybe just because the interview didn't go well that doesn't necessarily mean you would...

  14. Older nurses...chasing that carrot

    Daisy4RN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    It happens to all of us, the key is to just keep moving forward best we

  15. Older nurses...chasing that carrot

    Daisy4RN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    You got the right idea DaveyDo, no point chasing something you will never catch up with!!

  16. Older nurses...chasing that carrot

    Daisy4RN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are having a hard time! I am approx. 60yo and so have (a little) idea how you are feeling. I started working at 16yo, and except for taking off about 6 years when my kids were young, I have...

  17. Pit Bull Service Dogs

    Daisy4RN replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes exactly, too many people who abuse this service that was originally intended for people with disabilities like blindness, seizures, PTSD, etc. I have seen a video of someone trying to bring their...

  18. Blood Transfusion

    Daisy4RN replied to Elena88's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this. Most p/p are very similar but you need to find out what exactly yours says. I have always seen 1 tubing for up to 2 consecutive units given within a specified time frame but have seen...

  19. $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    Daisy4RN replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    As you pointed out in your earlier post there is not a nursing shortage but rather a bedside nursing shortage. After having worked many years at the bedside and have seen the deterioration of the work...

  20. Honesty on resume, now no job.

    Daisy4RN replied to gumbi_12's topic in Nursing Career

    I am sorry you are having a hard time! Agree with Sassy that you should just take what you can and get some experience. I dont think it is a good idea to lie on your resume. This will likely do more...

  21. Vent

    Daisy4RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    I am semiretired and had to look it up also. I completely agree with your description of it being the same tired old crap. I love your response ("lobotomized myself with an ice pick"). You literally...

  22. Safe staffing vent

    Daisy4RN replied to Swellz's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, Alexa. Admin is so good about finding ways to improve pt

  23. Vent

    Daisy4RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    My problem with the pizza party mentality is when this is the only time that a manager attempts to show that s/he values an employee's time. There are more meaningful ways to do this. I also...

  24. $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    Daisy4RN replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    IMO the reason for the increased fees (for every nurse in Calif) is simply because they can and will tax/charge fees to working people as much as they can. Calif has declared themselves a "sanctuary...

  25. When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in Men in Nursing

    I still think of a female when I hear nurse even though I have worked with many males. I guess it is because when i was in grade school (60's) the stereotypes were in full force. I have never had...
