  1. Can't find a job

    Daisy4RN replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would not hesitate to call him because he told you that you could use him as a reference and to give that work number. It is always a good idea to let your references know that you are indeed using...

  2. Can't find a job

    Daisy4RN replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on passing the NCLEX. It usually takes longer than 1 month to get hired no matter where you live but some worse than others. What do you mean by you did your "role transition". I would...

  3. MORALE

    Daisy4RN replied to avg5012's topic in General Nursing

    I once got a coupon from management for a free cookie in the cafeteria, noticed it was expired but the NM said it would still work, went over there but of course they wouldn't take it, gee thanks...

  4. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

    Daisy4RN replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

    I dont think that the other posters are judging you, just trying to give a very realistic perspective. You are correct about the RN salary but as they say, you dont know what you don't know. There is...

  5. needs input to keep my inner peace

    Daisy4RN replied to singleye's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with JKL33. Just focus on yourself and your work. You will always work with people that you don't necessarily like or that you have problems with. It is not worth sacrificing your inner peace....

  6. Resignation, What To Do With Accrued PTO??

    Daisy4RN replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I have a CPA because he is self employed, we use it for the business so not that much more money to use for personal reasons also, although the personal is kept to a minimum for the...

  7. Thanksgiving part deux

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I have always worked holidays and have always done the same thing you are doing, celebrating on a different day. Although now that I am getting older sometimes I just skip it because it is just...

  8. Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Daisy4RN replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    Just because it is in "the notes" does not necessarily mean the surgery will happen at all, and/or when it will happen (it is just the plan). If he was transferred to your hospital because of an...

  9. Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Daisy4RN replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a few mistakes were made and not followed up on correctly, or at least not communicated correctly. For the Insulin, did you notify MD and (Charge RN) of the mistake, what did MD say,...

  10. Resignation, What To Do With Accrued PTO??

    Daisy4RN replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    I would call your HR to find out if there are alternatives. I once had a similar situation and could transfer the money to an seperate account managed by a third party but could only be used for...

  11. Forced to Chart using another employee name

    Daisy4RN replied to Lvn31's topic in General Nursing

    I would not leave but I would stop documenting under someone else's name. If this person is a MA and you are a LVN this could get ugly real quick. Do you have any access to email, if so I would send...

  12. Situational Trauma

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, worked retail at Christmas before, all I can say is

  13. Don't Say The "Q" word!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    If nothing happened after Kwiet was said it must have been a 1 time freebie, I don't think I would rock that boat again. I don't think I have ever worked 1 time that it didn't go to he** after someone...

  14. Good idea or not?

    Daisy4RN replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    I think that would be a very tough schedule. You really would not have a day off and you said you are already tired now. I watched my first grandchild when he was a baby (I was already working 12's so...

  15. Baby nurse doo doo doo doo....

    Daisy4RN replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    Learning from experience... Priceless!! Sounds like you did great, no need to call yourself baby nurse

  16. Non productive overtime

    Daisy4RN replied to Minn_RN's topic in General Nursing

    They are going to have to adjust their new time schedule on their own. You could assist by just making sure you are ready (as much as possible) to give report and maybe have things ready that you know...

  17. Non productive overtime

    Daisy4RN replied to Minn_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It is probably a liability issue. Like people who clock out (so no overtime) at the end of their shift and then continue to work, either charting or actually doing pt care. I have never done it either...

  18. Medication Error

    Daisy4RN replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, bypassing president of the country and going straight for President of the World. Go DaveyDo! See DaveyDo run. Run DaveyDo

  19. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Daisy4RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, MD's are busy and will expect you to have info ready when you contact them. You will learn to anticipate and know the appropriate info to have on hand. Maybe start a notebook with labs and...

  20. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Daisy4RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I am a little confused by what you are calling an assessment. Do you possibly mean assessing a given situation, when to call MD re: labs, knowing what is important and what needs to be done etc. If...

  21. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Daisy4RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very good quality for a RN, now just take that and learn how to apply that to your assessment skills/paperwork. You got

  22. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Daisy4RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are having a hard time. Agree with DaveyDo that I would stay put and try to make it work where you are. Have they offered any possible solutions, extra training etc. Is it the actual...

  23. Medication Error

    Daisy4RN replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone makes mistakes so take it as a lesson learned and move on (don't worry about the past mistake). Albumin is notorious for causing issues. I have watched it going well and come back later, when...

  24. financial donation to a needy patient

    Daisy4RN replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

    We had an unofficial clothes bin and would give people shoes, jackets etc when appropriate. I have on occasion given people small amounts of cash when I felt it was really needed and appropriate. You...

  25. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    Daisy4RN replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with this, you need to know your own body and be willing to take the chance that something could possibly go wrong. You will be on call, so what if someone calls and you give poor advice...
