  1. Urgent question

    Daisy4RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    who is your supervisor, it says that you are mandated to stay until relieved by supervisor. But yea, looks like you are stuck. I don't think you can delete the post without admin, maybe you can edit...

  2. Does nursing ever get easier?

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

    I would speak to your preceptor and let him/her know how you feel and what arrangement would help you in your second half of orientation. Agree with others that it might be easier for you to start...

  3. Nurse Imposters

    Daisy4RN replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should have clarified. I understand the definition but wonder about the application of the law in this case. it probably wouldn't fit the legal definition (?) but what about the BON. For...

  4. Nurse Imposters

    Daisy4RN replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    (h) Willfully aid or abet any person who violates any provisions of this article But would not reporting be "aid or abeting" ? I really don't know what the legal definition of that

  5. Caring for a Home Health Patient in my home?

    Daisy4RN replied to Mojotown's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nurse Imposters

    Daisy4RN replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    In general I agree that we can't report everyone that does this. I haven't reported either. In this particular case I think that because of the personal relationship I would report just to CYA. I...

  8. Loss of identity as nurse?

    Daisy4RN replied to VA2AK's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why you would consider yourself lazy or feel guilty for taking SSDI. You have an illness and have been (obviously) paying into the system and now are in need, no reason to feel guilty...

  9. Fired for bad leadership - board of nursing investigating

    Daisy4RN replied to jjoechezzz's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are going thru this!! How do you know what was reported to the BON? Did your (former) employer give you a copy? Have you already heard from the BON? I know you said you cannot afford a...

  10. Nurse Imposters

    Daisy4RN replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    This is good advice. I would write a letter to the office manager and also the BON and let them know this person is calling themselves, and acting as a nurse (you need to CYA). And, because of your...

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

  14. Case Study: Can You Prevent This Medical Error?

    Daisy4RN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    I think it is always a good idea to do a f/u on any death etc. but agree with Been there, done that that sometimes mistakes will be made because of the nurse being overworked or constantly interrupted...

  15. Death at Work

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think you got this one wrong Davey Do, it is usually staff running around like chickens with their heads chopped off while admin are the ones "playing" dead so they don't have to help. Or, I could...

  16. It's etc and not ect!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    I agree, we went from longhand to shorthand back to longhand. Yes, fire those

  17. It's etc and not ect!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Are you talking about humans or copy

  19. Possible career ending injury

    Daisy4RN replied to LovingLife123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am sorry for your troubles. You have received some good advice here. I would speak to your manager because you may be worrying for nothing, you might be able to just come back after the surgery....

    Daisy4RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you again for sharing your personal experience. I have had patients who answered that they were not safe and I was happy to assist. I know your posts will help many people. Hope you are well and...

  21. Forgot to restart my patients fluids

    Daisy4RN replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    This should not be a big deal. Like others have said you could have just called the unit, we have all probably done that for a variety of reasons, I know I have. I would check and see if it really was...

  22. Support myself PRN?

    Daisy4RN replied to mary.lentz17's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry about your husband. I don't think that anyone can answer that question because of the many different variables. You need to look at your bills vs per-diem rate. Also with per-diem you are...

  23. Advice please

    Daisy4RN replied to ert01479's topic in General Nursing

    You are definitely over thinking this and worring for nothing. You will learn the skills you need and even if you learn on the job with no IV start classes it will still be easier for you than a new...

  24. No, you can't do that!

    Daisy4RN replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I didn't mean the patient in this case, but the family who I guess had POA. If the family has POA they can take the patient AMA unless it would be a danger (no family to assist at home etc) then...

    Daisy4RN replied to Mqnurse13's topic in General Nursing
