  1. Competencies

    Daisy4RN replied to PsychRNPA's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds normal for some places. I worked in a facility that used epi-pens and never had official training on them so I just read the package insert. I wouldn't worry about it, just ask if you are...

  2. Is this appropriate?

    Daisy4RN replied to SuperMomBob88's topic in General Nursing

    I would be more concerned about liability issues than people getting my phone number. What is your role in the clinic? Do you have a written policy for this. Either way you should be able to block...

  3. Incorrect waste amount of medication documented in pyxis

    Daisy4RN replied to ddrn97's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with others, just check and correct if necessary. You do need to be really careful with the narcotics though. I miss the good old days when nurses were allowed to be human and everything wasn't...

  4. Terminated from my PerDiem Job... Need to vent

    Daisy4RN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    I have worked per-diem jobs that didn't contact me for months if no need. I would not necessarily call them in

  5. Terminated from my PerDiem Job... Need to vent

    Daisy4RN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    Sorry this is happening to you. Is is possible that it is just a misunderstanding because your regular manager left? HR and acct mngr might just be going on what the interim manager has told them....

  7. nursing concepts, death and dying,

    Daisy4RN replied to monkey3369's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry you had to go through that. NDE is very interesting and your experience/example of you hearing your brother is fascinating, our brains/bodies are quite a mystery

  8. When you thought it was patients you needed to watch...

    Daisy4RN replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    "I think it will be easy to show there was no intent" What in the heck did he think he was doing and saying?? So, his hands were around her neck but there was no intent?! Somebody lost it big time. I...

  9. nursing concepts, death and dying,

    Daisy4RN replied to monkey3369's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For a dying patient think, patient, family, environment. The patient as a human with physical, social, spiritual, and psychological needs. Same for family. Environment is very important for patient...

  10. Dealing with quadras

    Daisy4RN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It really doesn't matter whether or not any patient acted this way prior to illness or not. You will never be able to win with some people. Hopefully after discussions (with all staff in agreement)...

  11. Roll Call - Who's Been Around the Longest and Your Accomplishments

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    You live for your likes...be careful what you say, people will be haunting and hunting you down to "like" you LOL I tend to stay calm too, it doesn't mean you don't know what is going on. For me: been...

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I second the motion. You make me literally laugh out loud. It is a good outlet for

  13. Dealing with quadras

    Daisy4RN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good advice from brillohead. To that I would just add that it may be helpful to have a meeting with Charge Nurse and other CNA's so everyone is on the same page re: boundaries. The other CNA's have...

  14. Favoritism among staff

    Daisy4RN replied to adhazelett's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I have ever worked anywhere that didn't have favoritism, some worse than others. Agree that I would start keeping documentation so you have it if necessary but it usually won't do any...

  15. Am I In or Nah??

    Daisy4RN replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in General Students

    Sounds like admission is contingent on only your grades but agree with SourLemon that you need to check with admissions. Just call and ask. Hoping you make

  16. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like an unsafe place to work and that management is playing CYA after the fact (falsifying documents/policies?). I think I would start charting very carefully and look else where. Good

  17. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Again, without knowing all the info it is hard to say. But based on what you have said it should have been either the Charge or Manager who wrote the report prn. So in you quest to "not make waves"...

  18. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    If manager knew something was amiss and you did nothing wrong then why didn't the manager or charge write the incident report if it was

  19. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    then why were you the one to write the incident/occurrence

  20. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a facility I worked at required one for all RRT and

  21. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    Daisy4RN replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Without all the details it is hard to say. If you didn't do anything wrong then I don't see why the union cannot help you. Be careful what you say from now on about this and other occurrences (I guess...

  22. You just can't make this stuff up!

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient do this in his hospital room. O2 going and patient lite up a cig in there. Called security because patient refused to put it out and hand over lighter/cigs. They sent Barney Fife who...

  23. Little boy reading

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And don't forget no privacy on that call with your boyfriend (after mom answered the phone) because it was attached to the wall (no where to run or

  24. New Grad Nurse - step down or oncology?

    Daisy4RN replied to jlp10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your goals are ICU or ED I would say that step down would prepare you better than Oncology. I have worked med-surg, step down and Oncology, all at major teaching hospitals. Our Onc unit was highly...

  25. Little boy reading

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is nice to see kids read books and play without tablets, phones etc. I think they do have a place in learning but need very good supervision. They have done studies that show that...
