  1. Questionable Behavior: Reports and Write Ups

    Daisy4RN replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. There is way too much drama because of nurses running around reporting each other for every little infraction or perceived infraction. And, as AnnieOakley pointed out some people are just...

  2. How to be more time efficient in med/surg?

    Daisy4RN replied to studiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    And Kudos to you for the new job. Everyone has to work out their own routine that works best for them. That being said, I would grab a computer as soon as you get there, ask if it is working and put...

  3. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I am not convinced that the hospitals/managers actions were racist. This happens all the time in hospitals, patients don't like their nurse for whatever reason and sometimes it is easier, depending on...

  4. Questionable Behavior: Reports and Write Ups

    Daisy4RN replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree in principal (not this case cuz we don't know what was said) that people are way too easily offended, didn't anyone ever tell them to suck it up and move

  5. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    First, let me say I am truly sorry for you that you have experienced racism, I do know that it exists and should not. Re: the post, I do not know that it is different. I have worked with many...

  6. Questionable Behavior: Reports and Write Ups

    Daisy4RN replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    I would talk to the offender first, that is the professional thing to do. We all say things that are either flat out wrong or misinterpreted at times. We are all human. I have been on both sides of...

  7. What do you hate about nursing and why?

    Daisy4RN replied to ccorreces's topic in General Nursing

    Same thing happened to me once too. HELLOO people, life did actually exist before computers, its called pen and

  8. What do you hate about nursing and why?

    Daisy4RN replied to ccorreces's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, cannot dispute that, Nurses are held accountable for every other dept. Its the nurses fault that there is no TP in the BR, that PT/OT/SP didn't show up, that the meal wasnt the right one, the MD...

  9. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    So how do you feel about black patients who request a black nurse, Hispanics who request a Hispanic nurse, Filipino who request Filipino nurse etc. Also we don't know all the circumstances in all...

  10. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I couldn't agree more! I meant no disrespect to you, I am sorry if you took it that

  11. Catheter Came out. Should I reinsert it?

    Daisy4RN replied to fergsu22's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure we know step by step what happened here. As far as leaving the deflated Cath in place, it is not common practice to do that. The only reason I can see is that the nurse could not...

  12. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I dont think anyone is excusing rasism. Just trying to figure out this case and how it will apply practically in the hospital

  13. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    How do you know Wuzzie is speaking from a place of privilege, what does that

  14. Horrifying medical quack info on the Internet

    Daisy4RN replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is sad how much bogus info is out there. I have even had members of my own family ask me for clarification of things they have read, so I tell them this/that...only to have them not believe...

  15. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I have seen out right racist people also, I had the same experience with a patient using racist remarks to a CNA, no excuse for this!! I have also had patients ask for an "American" nurse and come to...

  16. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I agree that we should always try to accommodate the patient's request but I think we can all see where this might go, and it isn't good. Hospitals are already accommodating way too much. This will...

  17. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, but I thought there were other cases also. How did they turn out? This article says this was the 3rd. No matter what happens we know that hospitals change policies all the time based on a single...

  18. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with you, but I don't understand the legal basis for this nurse being allowed to sue the hospital. If these cases are being upheld in the court then what is the hospital to do, who's "rights"...

  19. Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Daisy4RN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I have heard patients who have told their nurses that want a Hispanic, black, Filipino nurse etc. because they are more comfortable with one "of their own". We have always honored their request when...

  20. Pregnancy Loss and Unhappy New Grad

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I am so sorry for your loss! Agree with Nurse Beth that you should go back and continue and finish your program. You are going through a very tough time now and you really need to think through your...

  21. Catheter Came out. Should I reinsert it?

    Daisy4RN replied to fergsu22's topic in General Nursing

    Is your boss (RN) supposed to be on call and doesn't answer? If so I would want to know why and start documenting these issues as well, not sure if you are easily sued there but still

  22. Catheter Came out. Should I reinsert it?

    Daisy4RN replied to fergsu22's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it looks like the MD agrees to the Home's policies which could mean anything the Home wants it to be, not necessarily on call

  23. It's Almost Like a Ghost Town. Most Nursing Homes Overstated Staffing for Years

    Daisy4RN replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Nursing News

    And to all the above examples of losing money add the patients who come to the facility Medicaid pending, or who no longer qualify based on need but have no where else to go and because you cannot...

  24. Catheter Came out. Should I reinsert it?

    Daisy4RN replied to fergsu22's topic in General Nursing

    So, the patient pulled out the catheter and the other nurse had already reinserted it when you came on duty or had just left it in place? If you did not have access to an on call MD for instruction...

  25. Overwhelmed at new CNA job - wanting to quit already

    Daisy4RN replied to mbjorkman's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry you are having such a tough time. Don't quit yet. Any new job is stressful and especially if it is your first CNA job. Did you receive enough training, find another CNA who is willing to fill in...
