  1. The Psychology Behind Talking Politics.

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I enjoy talking politics (and always have) with people and hearing different perspectives and opinions. Been doing it for years in person. Just don’t like it on this site for a few different...

    ?“For goodness sake you got the hippy hippy shake.. Well, now you shake it to the leftYou shake it to the rightYou do the hippy shake shakeWith all your might, oh baby”

  3. Advice?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurserue's topic in General Specialties

    First of all, we all make mistakes bc we are all human. You haven’t mentioned the type of mistakes so I would just caution you to focus on the big mistakes, the ones that will cause harm/the most...

  4. I'm back!

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

    Welcome back! No argument from me that HH can be brutal. I have done it two different times as well and after the 2nd said no way ever again. So much more work/paperwork the 2nd time. Besides the...

  5. Eighteen Days: My COVID Story

    Daisy4RN replied to mperry's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ty. Mine were not recent losses but it still bothers me that I could not be there. I can’t even imagine what you must have went through working during Covid and then losing your Dad. I hope that...

  6. Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t worry about it just yet. The person who texted you is a coward, IMO they should either keep their trap shut or say it to your face. (Maybe with the phone number you can trace it though)....

  7. Eighteen Days: My COVID Story

    Daisy4RN replied to mperry's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So sorry for your loss! I can relate, both my parents died at different times and I wasn’t able to be there for either one, it is devastating

  8. Polst

    Daisy4RN replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    The POLST is a MD order (vs an advance directive) and therefore needs an MD/provider signature to be a valid order (at least in my state). Check your state requirements and notify the MD immediately...

  9. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

    Daisy4RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well by using that logic one would have to also consider Medicaid, Blue Cross, Kaiser, Tricare and every other private or Fed/state Insurance to be Universal healthcare also. So when we have so many...

  10. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

    Daisy4RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Kinda painting with a broad brush! Personally I have seen many more people on Medicaid who feel entitled than those on Medicare, (and even when they have not put into the system like those on...

  11. Allnurses Debates!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Personally speaking I hate debating on this site (not in general) because some people are notorious for the attack on the person and/or the person’s ability as a nurse/HCP. I have seen this happen...

  12. Allnurses Debates!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    “John McNichols said something along the lines of "Artists have an important role in any society and that's to show us alternative perspectives to the accepted mainstream ways in which we think......

  13. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, and usually when they go “out of bounds” innocent people get hurt in the process. Add to that they fail to see their hypocrisy. Yikes! They were showing the copies to...

  14. Wanting to get trained in ICU. Have I messed up?

    Daisy4RN replied to ModeratelyObscure's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would just depend on the individual hospital and their needs etc. Either way, 5 months med surg is probably not enough to get you into ICU without extensive training, and is definitely not...

  15. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I think that principals are very important and I also like to stand up for what I believe in no matter who likes it or not. The problem comes when people have different principles and either can’t...

  16. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    So where were they going to “publicly display” these armbands, social media? I also agree that this is disrespectful to the deceased (unless they were given permission by the deceased). Not only...

  17. What is something you wish patients, families and/or your coworkers knew about you?

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I also kept a very low profile at work and didn’t share with others unless it was something I felt could possibly help them (ie I have been through that also…). I think your question pertains more...

  18. Nurses Calming the Chaos of Conflict- Part 2

    Daisy4RN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Your article provides good tips. I have never understood the need for some people to create more drama in the workplace and especially in nursing when one is already busy and stressed. My tip is to...

  19. If you could go back in time, what would you tell the first American COVID patient before he boarded the plane from Wuhan?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The facts are quite obvious to anyone paying attention, I don’t need to spell them out to you nor will I. I have already explained the point. But as usual when all else fails...

  20. Are You Working Past Retirement Age?

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10070.pdf SS uses your highest 35 years of work for their computation. Every month past 62 you wait the monthly amount goes up a little. I had planned to retire...

  21. If you could go back in time, what would you tell the first American COVID patient before he boarded the plane from Wuhan?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even your own source does not say he talked about injecting bleach, he commented (based on other study/MD), that injecting disinfectant to a particular area might help. Did he use the wrong word,...

  22. If you could go back in time, what would you tell the first American COVID patient before he boarded the plane from Wuhan?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And we simply understand that the fact that Trump and others were banned/canceled etc was completely political and still is (except in extreme rare cases). This is why people continue to not trust the...

  23. If you could go back in time, what would you tell the first American COVID patient before he boarded the plane from Wuhan?

    Daisy4RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sheesh, Did you even read the politifat link I posted? Trump (no matter how much you don’t like him) did not tell people to drink bleach. Perhaps it would be more productive to worry about what...

  24. Treatment of Nursing Students

    Daisy4RN replied to KrisNicoleE's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is exactly what I was getting at! If I was the student I certainly would not have stood there for 8 hours doing nothing. I have been on both sides of this situation, it is not that difficult to...

  25. Healthcare Workers Still Love Their Jobs

    Daisy4RN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would be interesting to see the percentage of just nurses instead of all healthcare workers included. I bet it would be very
