  1. Normal Working Conditions for Hospice RN Case Managers?

    Daisy4RN replied to nuncle265's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why I left Home Health. Never enough time between running around and seeing patients (wear and tear/gas and time spent driving), calling Physicians/ PT/OT/ pharmacy etc., charting...

  2. Greetings From SpankedInPittsburgh

    Daisy4RN replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Greetings right back to you! Congrats on your new degree and good luck to you going forward in your new

  3. Choking Hazard

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if patients families did not bring every member of their family into visit, including the toddlers who crawl all over the floor, or bed etc this would not be problem. JC just needs to find...

  4. It wasn't funny

    Daisy4RN replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    Why do those kind of people always think stupid stuff like that is funny, especially to people they don't even know! Sorry about the promotion, you will get it next

  5. What do you hate about nursing and why?

    Daisy4RN replied to ccorreces's topic in General Nursing

    ddeburger: Tell them you are not going to do it, go up the chain of command (Intern, resident, Attending, nurse manager, nurse supervisor etc.), explain your rationale and simply refuse, but tell them...

  6. Any ideas on chemotherapy/radiation exposure on RNs wanting to be pregnant? Is it risky?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseBabe1841's topic in General Nursing

    I would be extremely careful if you chose this type of position. I worked inpatient oncology and the nurses who were either pregnant or trying to get pregnant never had radiation patients or gave...

  7. What do you hate about nursing and why?

    Daisy4RN replied to ccorreces's topic in General Nursing

    I hate that nurses no longer have the time to practice the art of nursing. Why? Because this is what was best for the patient and at the same time gave the nurse a sense of accomplishment. Now nurses...

  8. Political Nurse Advocate - Pamela Robbins, MSN, RN

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I applaud her efforts in advocacy and agree that it should be taught earlier than at the Masters level. I hope that the work environment will one day change but is has been my experience that (just...

  9. Quit while on orientation

    Daisy4RN replied to Throwaway11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good

  10. Nurse Sick and FIRED: Exploring Nursing Absenteeism

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    FMLA is a good tool but in this case it would not have helped because the nurse was per-diem. Your type of admin. is not very common, too

  11. Quit while on orientation

    Daisy4RN replied to Throwaway11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep, the grass is always

  12. Quit while on orientation

    Daisy4RN replied to Throwaway11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you should give a 2 week notice and an extra excuse as to why you are leaving, better for my family, closer drive etc. (better to burn than to blow up, nursing is a small world) And, if you...

  13. Adopting a new philosophy

    Daisy4RN replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    I like it, I think I will use that too. Hope you are well and feeling

  14. New grad sinking fast

    Daisy4RN replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Everyone has stated it well so far. You just need time to adjust from student to nurse and you will. I don't think there are any "slow floors". All pretty much the same as far as busy goes. You...

  15. Locking the Safety Needle Shield

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Or, maybe your coworkers eye would work

  16. Coming off FMLA and Need Different Schedule

    Daisy4RN replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry for your illness'. I also have autoimmune illness and know just how hard it can be at times. It is hard to say how to approach your manager because every situation is different. If you...

  17. An Ethical Dilemma- Outstanding Warrants

    Daisy4RN replied to rkirk89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes exactly, we did not tell the patient anything, not only not our job, but (for obvious) reasons the police didn't want us to

  18. An Ethical Dilemma- Outstanding Warrants

    Daisy4RN replied to rkirk89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The patient is not already in custody, they have committed a crime but were brought to the hospital, so they are not shackled, when medically cleared the police come and pick them up at the hospital...

  19. An Ethical Dilemma- Outstanding Warrants

    Daisy4RN replied to rkirk89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If a minor crime the police would sometimes wait to arrest until the patient was ready for discharge (to save money). When the patient was ready for DC we called and notified the police who would come...

  20. Reasonable time frame for prn medication to be given?

    Daisy4RN replied to nicegirl2's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nurse? Doesn't sound like it, and quite frankly you would scare me if you were my nurse. I don't think anyone was "dismissive " of the patient, just prioritizing like we are trained to do so...

  21. Done, and early too!

    Daisy4RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So very happy for you!

  22. Nurse Sick and FIRED: Exploring Nursing Absenteeism

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals have horrible policies re: sick time. I don't understand why they would want you to come in when you are sick but some nurses do that because of the repercussions of calling off, being...

  23. New Job, Did I Make a Mistake?

    Daisy4RN replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are only on day 4 I would give it some time. Sounds like they just need to get organized and I am sure they will. I would just keep doing what you are doing, work related videos, offering to...

  24. Was this unsafe?

    Daisy4RN replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

    This is ridiculous behavior from the staffing coordinator and the DON. I would find a new job STAT! I don't know what you mean by "terminating my contract" but I would find a way to get out of it...

  25. TLSO info!

    Daisy4RN replied to ohsosarah20's topic in General Nursing

    You need to check with the M.D. to see if the pt is spinal cleared, the xray tech needs an M.D. order to sit the pt up, sometimes they need to lay flat, with the brace they can (usually) sit up etc,...
