  1. Nurses help me

    Daisy4RN replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    More info needed. What were you fired for and did the hospital tell you they were going to file a complaint with the board? If it was a month ago you may be able to check the status of your license...

  2. What You Need To Know About Older Nurses: Myths and Realities

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I was also off work for a year and had a difficult time finding a job. It was a real eye opener because I had never had a hard time getting hired before. After many failed interviews (or failure to...

  3. What You Need To Know About Older Nurses: Myths and Realities

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    As an older nurse myself (60ish) I don't have problems with technology (most of the time). I have problems with physical/stamina issues so because of medical issues now only work part time (even...

  4. What You Need To Know About Older Nurses: Myths and Realities

    Daisy4RN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    If that is you at different ages looking at each other with those comments then yea I get it,

  5. Gender Discrimination Against Nurses or Other Healthcare Providers?

    Daisy4RN replied to CocoBug20's topic in General Nursing

    If you hadn't added "for any reason" in your poll question I would have voted Yes, ("For any reason" is not acceptable to me because that leaves the door wide open for people to complain and want to...

  6. So TIRED OF IT

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    HaHa, I am older and do this too, I use the mother tone, it works most

  7. So TIRED OF IT

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it seems that you believe that the nurse can de-escalate any situation (no matter what the problem is). When patients are upset about issues that are beyond the nurses control (ie systemic...

  8. So TIRED OF IT

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I think that all nurses have been trained and know how to de-escalate. The problem is when the nurse either doesn't have time for therapeutic communication, or when it doesn't work. Not everyone will...

  9. Pagan in a Catholic Hospital...

    Daisy4RN replied to Kaelsdream's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Wrong! I was not trying "to teach" you anything. My first post was directed to the OP (where that comment was made that you are quoting). My second post was directed to another poster (mtmkjr). I...

  10. Documentation Error

    Daisy4RN replied to nurseslrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would do as others have stated and just correct the error with your charge/manager. When you speak to your charge/manager I would also clarify the hospital policy as some facilities require the DC...

  11. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that people who are on Medicaid or other gov. welfare programs should be responsible with tax payer money. Why are they buying fast food when the patient already has a meal provided by the...

  12. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a problem with putting the onus on patients for "treating healthcare better" if that means not abusing the system or using it inappropriately (I have seen people claim no money for gauze...

  13. Creating Good Nurse-Nursing Student Relationships

    Daisy4RN replied to jackywjwong's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just realize that the nurses there are working and the priority is the patients, your learning is secondary. Good points above, I would add to come prepared for the day and prepared to help when you...

  14. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I get the irony. I think that we can simultaneously care about our patients while at the same time be annoyed when we see the abuse of the system on a daily basis. I have seen patients who were on...

  15. Pagan in a Catholic Hospital...

    Daisy4RN replied to Kaelsdream's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I believe my post to the OP was on target and respectful. I know many people who are Christian and people who are of different religions than myself. I do not judge others based on religion and I do...

  16. Well, there goes our bonus!

    Daisy4RN replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know who came up with attaching surveys to payment but it is just another nail in the coffin to good healthcare. I would do what others have also stated, ask once nicely, give it a few seconds...

  17. Severe Depression/Anxiety

    Daisy4RN replied to grobertson10's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is hard stressful work and starting in ICU is not easy, neither is NICU. Is it possible to transfer to a different unit within the system again while still not breaking your contract. How much...

  18. So TIRED OF IT

    Daisy4RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    You are 100% correct. It is patients and society and it only gets worse, and the whole customer satisfaction kicked it up to unacceptable levels. I just read an article that stated half of all...

  19. Let Go From Job During Orientation

    Daisy4RN replied to Coffee&freedom76's topic in General Nursing

    You are a new nurse and don't know what you don't know; However, the facility knows and should either not have hired a new grad or gave proper training. Not your fault but still a good learning...

  20. Not sure how to handle this situation with recent interview

    Daisy4RN replied to Southpawdown's topic in General Nursing

    The hiring process has just gone out of control. I miss the days when you could just apply, interview with 1 person, and be done which ever way it

  21. Bad day......need thoughts

    Daisy4RN replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    Any new job is hard. If it was an emergent situation maybe that nurse was just a little stressed also. Agree with others, don't take it personally and just get through it. You will figure out much...

  22. Pagan in a Catholic Hospital...

    Daisy4RN replied to Kaelsdream's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Agree, but would add, not only can something not come from nothing but (especially) something living cannot come from

  23. Where Were You...9/11

    Daisy4RN replied to Daisy4RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sirl: Oh my gosh, how very

  24. Let Go From Job During Orientation

    Daisy4RN replied to Coffee&freedom76's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry to hear about your news! Having worked Oncology I can tell you that it is a hard unit for new grads as there is a steep learning curve and the facility I worked for did not ever hire new...

  25. What I Wish I Had Known Before

    Daisy4RN replied to BlinkyPinky's topic in General Nursing

    May I add a number 9.. 9. That patients and families would consider you the enemy because their unrealistic expectations were not met. 10. That nurses are blamed for the mistakes of other staff...
