  1. The ballad of the lonely educator

    Daisy4RN replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Very frustrating indeed!! I hope they are at least paying you well for your time (although I am afraid I probably already know the answer to that). I like your new lyrics to the

  4. Death threats at work?

    Daisy4RN replied to UKRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    There is absolutely no reason that nurses/staff should be getting death threats from anyone who is A&O. 1 warning and 86 them for life for the 2nd offense. People behave this way because there are...

  5. What's up with this RN?

    Daisy4RN replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught to not write any of those, this RN, RN, writer etc, it was assumed it was this RN because of the signature at the end of the note. Over the years it became policy to write RN (RN came...

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

    Daisy4RN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I also find it hard to believe that 54% of nurses have never made a mistake. The last hospital I worked at also got dinged for not enough incident reports (one year there were zero). Who in their...

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad that she is doing this research in order to provide data to enact changes. I hope that administrators listen. Patients and nurses deserve much

  8. A statistical death

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen and heard of situations just like this. It is hard for family and staff. Very sad but I don't see it changing anytime soon. The last hospital I worked in had so many forms, checklists etc...

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nurse Diary's Entries

    LOL, I like the video. Nothing significant to share right now but I will say I feel like this guy (getting kicked in the head) most days I work! PS thx for your hard work on the

  10. The End of An Era

    Daisy4RN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty close to being in your situation so I know (a little) bit about just how hard it can be. I quit full time a few years ago bc of health issues and now only work (very) per-diem. Not sure...

  11. Are We Too PC?

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    My point with the Calif law is that the lawmakers felt the need to make the law. I doubt anyone would be jailed either but why the law in the first place. If a healthcare provider is purposefully...

  12. I'm Shocked

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how any Resident can get to that point of being a "Resident" and reply "What's a code blue". I am not getting any younger and it just scares the code brown out of me if /when I have to...

  13. Are We Too PC?

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I think that a lot of this boils down to personal responsibility. Everyone who walks this planet will at some time get their feeling's hurt by another human, and will at some times hurt the feelings...

  14. Are Patients Cared for Equally? Challenges of the VIP Patient

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a hospital that had VIP patients. The first time I heard that I was getting a VIP I though it was a joke, after a laughed a little I was told it was not a joke but real. I was shocked. I...

    Daisy4RN replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, that would irritate me too. Not so much the fact that it didn't get done but the lame excuses. Hated that when I did

    Next time he asks the air, just let the air answer him! Seriously though I wouldn't let it get to you and certainly wouldn't let it embarrass you (his pettiness is not your problem), but if it does...

  20. Dealing with death

    Daisy4RN replied to TheNewNurse94's topic in General Nursing

    Learning how to deal with a patients death can be difficult whether the death was expected or not. First and foremost it is your duty as a nurse to provide the best care possible to the pt/family...

  21. Are We Too PC?

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this whole PC thing is completely out of hand. It should be obvious to anyone that this song (Baby, its cold outside) is just 2 adults flirting with each other. I heard that 'Deck the...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, we all make mistakes. I once gave a patient (as requested) half the ordered Ativan dose. Once pharmacy caught wind of that I thought the world might end. I thought, at the time, we could give...
