  1. Already feel like giving up

    Daisy4RN replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, getting into school and completing the program is usually a struggle. So is landing a job. But please dont give up!! You have worked too hard to give up now. Good advice so far, to that I would...

  2. Pit Bull Service Dogs

    Daisy4RN replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to Vegas with the bet that the nurse will definitely be blamed!! I can hear it now, oh but you should have known how to be like the dog wisperer. You know patients have service a animals...

  3. Vent

    Daisy4RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is how many nurses would like to spend their days off, with a bunch of former patients complaining about the care they received, and as "guests" no less (sarcasm of course). And who would...

  4. February 2019 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Thank goodness Allnurses is back open, it is rough out there without my

    Daisy4RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that assumes that you are allowed to look for said contraband. Last hospital I worked at we were not allowed to go through pt belongings even after nurses were physically attacked with knives...

  6. What's the funniest nursing superstition you've ever heard? Do you believe it?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1048932's topic in Nursing Humor

    I also worked in a facility where we were unable to open the windows. We had 1 room on the unit that people (both staff and patients) swore was haunted, I normally dont believe in ghosts but that room...

  7. What's the funniest nursing superstition you've ever heard? Do you believe it?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest1048932's topic in Nursing Humor

    Never say, or let another nurse say to you, this is a "easy patient". The "easy" patient will always turn into a hot

  8. Pit Bull Service Dogs

    Daisy4RN replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, would not touch that with a 10 foot pole, this problem goes up to admin to figure out. Not going to put myself or anyone else in harm's way and not taking the blame for anything

  9. Vent

    Daisy4RN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I think this is par for the course. I attended a inservice about something respiratory so it started with the presenter doing A&P, she showed a poster size hand drawn picture of the...

  10. Jason Hiney RN

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this happened DaveyDo. I have had this happen too, one day you are friends, the next you are flat right under the bus. But, are you sure who through you under, maybe it was rooflemo, is that...

  11. How to retain nurses?

    Daisy4RN replied to old&improved's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with others that have stated that management/admin knows exactly how to retain nurses but refuses to do what is needed and instead just dumps it on the staff to come up with "ideas". My favorite...

  12. Blast from the past...

    Daisy4RN replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I have been watching the Bob Newhart Show lately. Some times it is nice to watch shows that you don't have to think about so

  13. Did FDR have Guillain-Barré?

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard that before but interesting! Yea, medicine was quite different back

  14. Bring back our childhood diseases!

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. But the gov't already stepped in once and "fixed" this, the question is what happened to that

  15. Trigger Warning!

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the whole idea of someone being triggered has got out of hand. Of course nobody should purposefully offend others and if they do they are a jerk. That being said, we are all human and...

  16. Alert fatigue and sensory overload

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% that there are just way too many alarms and/or forms to fill out. Bedside nurses are just running around like chickens with their heads chopped off for the majority (if not entire) day....

  17. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    @tiffanyselah I agree with you that in principal nurses are pushed to act outside of safe practices on a daily basis and that is wrong! In this case though, this nurse gave the wrong medication. She...

  18. Is It Possible to Never Make an Error? The Perfect Nurse Fallacy

    Daisy4RN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    That thinking is just a little naïve, it happens all the

  19. If you could give one piece of advice back when you were a new grad RN, what would it be?

    Daisy4RN replied to Mursthetics's topic in General Nursing

    It is OK that you don't know everything right now (nursing school does not teach you everything you need to know). It is OK to ask for help and don't let anyone tell you/make you feel stupid for...

  20. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes we should always advocate. But the questions remains why this nurse did not. Did she even know that the pt needed to be monitored. If she did know, then yes she definitely should have refused to...

  21. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I was wondering what is going on with the board as well. You read others here who have had an extremely hard time with BON's for taking a Benadryl on off

  22. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and I think the hospital should have more consequences than the slap on the wrist that they received. The bottom line is that when there is a expectation of hurry and get it done (with real...

  23. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    "As licensed nurses we need to know our limitations." Absolutely, I also had an experience similar to this case. Working on the floor and my pt was going down for testing and MD ordered 2mg Ativan IV...

  24. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was also in a "resource" position much like yours. However, at times they would float me to other areas as well with which I had zero experience. Once I was floated to peds ICU and they wanted me to...

  25. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have also seen this way too much. A nurse being placed in a position with little to no experience who then thinks that because they are in that position know what they are doing when in fact...
