  1. Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    Daisy4RN replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry for your current situation! When I left my last hospital job I was to the point that I just couldn't do it one more day so I understand (at least a little) what you are going through. Is it...

  2. Forgot to follow up on orders

    Daisy4RN replied to JMK04's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound like this was your fault (based on what you said here) unless you are the acting CM for the patient. You notif the MD and your DON. It sounds like the ball was dropped by the nurse...

  3. Seasoned Nurses - This one is for you

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to see visiting hours brought back and/or enforced. In my experience it causes more harm than good to have visitors (and sometimes many at one time) in at all times including spending the...

  4. Did this patient overreact?!

    Daisy4RN replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    And, I always hear medical professionals refer to keeping a female patient covered as her "lady parts". Yea, agreed, serious doubts! And OP didn't answer my question if she/he was a

  5. Did this patient overreact?!

    Daisy4RN replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think that the patient was over reacting, some people are more private than others. I am a little confused by this whole situation, why was the husband talking to you if he wanted to speak to...

  6. Charge Nurse in 6 months?

    Daisy4RN replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess we now see why the high turnover. Even if those nurses stayed around to do their job (I have never worked anywhere and seen too little people for a code, usually too many!) you were better off...

  7. Aspiring Christian & Nursing student

    Daisy4RN replied to gopats1234's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I dont think that any specific profession/job will bring you closer to God per se. It is more how you perform/behave/act in the job that matters. The job should be an expression of worship, not just...

  8. Charge Nurse in 6 months?

    Daisy4RN replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh yea, that sneaky little clause,

  9. Charge Nurse in 6 months?

    Daisy4RN replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    I would definitely not do this, you are asking for big trouble!! There is a reason for the high turnover. Did your job description say anything about this when you got hired, either way I would say no...

  10. My coworkers dont like me because I bragged

    Daisy4RN replied to esrun13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can't understand why they would be upset about this unless you somehow cut to the front of the line. Either way I would just not say any more about this and it should blow

  11. Eccentric Doc

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Nice pics DaveyDo!! My car was one of those that had the fins on the back. My husband and I also had a 69 Chevy truck with NO power steering. I think I weighed about 105lbs back then and no upper body...

  12. Should I be asked to get consent without the doctor?

    Daisy4RN replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    The last hospital I worked at had a policy that stated the nurse was only witnessing the patient signature, that was all. It depends on your hospital P/P and also the state nurse practice act. If you...

  13. Safe Nursing

    Daisy4RN replied to Susie2310's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you are making an unethical decision by just showing up. Hospitals force RN's to work with very little resources and that is not on you! It usually doesn't do any good to speak up...

  14. Eccentric Doc

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, this sounds like my first car. A 1960 (something) had no heater (not just broken heater but car never came with one to begin with) so I always had a coat, mittens etc on while driving. The...

  15. Non important documentation

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    The documentation is exactly the reason I no longer do home health. Loved the actual job but could not keep up with the endless charting. Oasis, don't even get me

  16. A Feather in my Cap!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is always nice to hear something good once in a

  17. Sitting in the Catbird Seat

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    yea that was all me, I think you said (on a different thread) that you were using the thread for an outlet, I just borrowed your idea and thread, LOL Oh, but being professional isn't as much fun, but...

  18. The Nurse Empath

    Daisy4RN replied to Kelsea1214's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing is hard for a number of reasons but can most definitely take its toll on one emotionally. We see and experience things that are on the scale from very good to very bad, and you never...

  19. Sitting in the Catbird Seat

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I never had heard that term before, you made me

  20. Sitting in the Catbird Seat

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    There once was a girl who lived at the bottom of the hill To the top she must go but the journey was slow At the top she was sitting pretty until she heard this little ditty: One tin shoulder rode...

  21. What do you do when your instructors are useless?

    Daisy4RN replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN to RN

    Agree with all the above good advise. Your skills will come with time and effort. Seems you have already done a little critical thinking since your other post. You have thought about possible...

  22. If a implanted port is in the left chest is it ok to start a peripheral IV in the Left for

    Daisy4RN replied to sjcades's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry for your

  23. If a implanted port is in the left chest is it ok to start a peripheral IV in the Left for

    Daisy4RN replied to sjcades's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are correct! I was just thinking how many times we would get our Onc pt's from ED without anyone even trying to access (or contacting Onc nurses etc), even though placed in the same facility...

  24. If a implanted port is in the left chest is it ok to start a peripheral IV in the Left for

    Daisy4RN replied to sjcades's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but why would you want a PIV if the pt has a port. I worked in Onc and we always used the port whenever possible to save the pt from many unnecessary sticks thus pain. The only reason not to...

  25. Terrified...is this normal?

    Daisy4RN replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    Feeling some anxiety is normal, not sure bawling during orientation is though. Nursing school and working as a nurse are both extremely difficult and stressful. I just wonder what you did prior to...
