  1. No, you can't do that!

    Daisy4RN replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    Give them the appropriate info/education, notify MD, document refusal even after education, done. We did offer AMA when appropriate and had patients who did leave AMA. I don't see anything wrong with...

  2. Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    Daisy4RN replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you just need to set some professional boundries with him. It doesn't sound like sexual harassment, at least not at this point. I would just start playing things down, say things...

  3. Full time to part time

    Daisy4RN replied to stephyy61512's topic in General Nursing

    I am also having trouble following your post. But I think what you are saying is that you thought you had changed from full time to part time but your clinical director did not think that, or had a...

  4. Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Daisy4RN replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad that you and your wife have worked out this issue! Marriage is too precious to not learn how to meet in the middle, sometimes you get your way, and sometimes she gets her way. I have been...

  5. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    Daisy4RN replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad that it is going well for you! Yes, healthcare today is a sad state of affairs. The last hospital I worked at had a constant stream of homeless, drug addicts, people who waited until the...

  6. Crisis of confidence

    Daisy4RN replied to Lostsoul123's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are having such a hard time right now. I agree with others that you should seek medical care to check for a physiological problem and/or counseling for the anxiety. You don't say what...

    Daisy4RN replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are not crazy, just following your dream! Congrats and good

  8. Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    Daisy4RN replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    I cannot see why the nurse would think that unless you are leaving out some information. Was there a lab related to the draw (Vanco etc) and the nurse was worried it would not be able to get drawn on...

  9. Needed: Tips to access a port a cath painlessly

    Daisy4RN replied to eyzsogreen's topic in General Nursing

    Good advise from above posters. Do you have a different coworker or educator that would be willing to watch you and offer advice? I also think that nurse who refuses to help you is a

  10. New job offer, letter of resignation

  12. So glad to be moving on!

    Daisy4RN replied to BettyBoopsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you have had such a hard time! I wish you well in the next chapter of your life. I hope you find the peace, happiness and joy that you are looking for, it can be very elusive at times for...

  14. The last straw

    Daisy4RN replied to Dontstressdoyourbest's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to thank you for your care and making your patient's days better! Nursing is very hard work so I hope you will now enjoy your time doing what you want to do,

  15. RN Liability Insurance

    Daisy4RN replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely buy your own malpractice insurance. I have mine from NSO, you can check them online. It is very reasonable. You must have your own insurance because any facility you work for will...

  16. So TIRED OF IT

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I say if you want to change careers go ahead and do it. I do realize that age discrimination is alive and well but that doesn't mean it won't work out for you. Nursing was my second career and I wish...

  17. Advice about nursing stress

    Daisy4RN replied to Briannanala's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the others that a therapist could help you work through your feelings related to the patient death and related feelings. I think you most likely would find your compassion again. You may or...

  18. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Daisy4RN replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    We didn't have student Charge Nurses when I was in school, agree with others that they probably do that now because nurses are thrown into the position early on, and that is not a good thing. I would...

  19. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Daisy4RN replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    What is a safety monitor?? I think I did that in 2nd grade

  20. Nurses help me

    Daisy4RN replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As others have stated I would go ahead and look for another job. You don't really know when (or if) you will ever hear about this. It will be easier to hold onto a job vs trying to obtain a job with...

  21. Reportable BRN incidents

    Daisy4RN replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with this and had the same experience, told the nurse just this once and made it clear to others I would not do that, it is not that hard to simply show someone the waste prior to...

  22. Reportable BRN incidents

    Daisy4RN replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    I hope by now you have spoken to your fellow nurse who also signed off on the waste. A heads up would be nice after you threw her/him under the
