  2. Insurance and Breast Cancer Treatment: New Choices

    Daisy4RN replied to Debi Fischer's topic in General Nursing

    Daisy4RN replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have worked in various settings as a RN and have seen the spectrum of people who are lazy to very hard working. I have seen lazy CNA's and very hard working CNA's, as well as LVN's and RN's. I have...

  6. Split-Shift Floating

    Daisy4RN replied to CameToSlay's topic in Travel

    I have been floated mid shift and like you do not feel it is safe. I don't quite understand why you are going because regular staff don't like that particular unit. Are they coming in extra and that...

    Daisy4RN replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have stated, in the past it was always run over 30 minutes and that is a fairly new change to run over 4 hrs. Technically if you run it at a different rate than what the MD ordered it is a...

  8. First time fired by family

    Daisy4RN replied to invictus's topic in General Nursing

    I would not worry about it, this happens all the time. When I was charge we simply didn't ever assign that nurse to that patient again and it rarely even went to management. Families will complain...

    Daisy4RN replied to KerenAvneryRN's topic in General Nursing

    It just depends on where you are at in life, not necessarily what your prefer. I have done all those at various times. What I really would prefer is to not work at all, maybe someday! For now, I work...

  13. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Daisy4RN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, no offense to males out there but I agree. I don't see the need to entice males into nursing. If you want to, go ahead, if you don't,

  14. HIPAA Violation, Fired

    Daisy4RN replied to kosmopolitan's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am all for nurses looking out for each other and having each others back. If I was the nurse or charge nurse who was asked where the chart was I would not necessarily know why that person wanted the...

  15. Is this normal??

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseOhmy's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this does sound pretty normal for most hospital jobs. But, you do have to keep in mind that you are still new (only 2 months on your own) and most nurses take about 1-2 years to feel...

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Specialties

    I am sorry for your difficult time! I agree with the other poster that you may want to be seen by your M.D. Sounds like the stress is just not getting better. I also have worked home health and agree...

  19. HIPAA Violation, Fired

    Daisy4RN replied to kosmopolitan's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, like Hippa or not it is there to protect the patient. Did you know it was a violation when you looked at the chart? You were wrong but I think that firing you was overkill unless you already had...

  21. Locked out of BreEZe Calif RN renewal system

    Daisy4RN replied to Caligirlrn22's topic in General Nursing

    I believe if you have the fingerprint scan completed and sent that is good and they would process the renewal. I would just try to call BRN and either get tech support to reset your account or try to...

  22. Float staff having a hard time

    Daisy4RN replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    These float nurses should not be doing all the same tasks that the regular staff are doing. This is a highly specialized Peds Onc unit. JUST having peds experience is not sufficient for Peds Onc. I...
