  1. Dangling patients

    Daisy4RN replied to saraaileen76's topic in General Nursing

    they want you to dangle a quad? I have never done that. Maybe a bedbound pt depending on circumstances (why, how long etc), but where is Physical

  2. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    Daisy4RN replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    [quote. What I am very sad ... I spoke with my bishop about this and he knows I am on a shifting schedule. He said I didnt need to be there all the time. Im just worried I might get schedules that...

  3. Please help. Career over before it starts.

    Daisy4RN replied to Emjked123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have the same back problems and this is true for me

  4. Please help. Career over before it starts.

    Daisy4RN replied to Emjked123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    This is a good idea if you think you can tolerate that. I would also wonder about the facility where you are hired and their pre-hire policy. Most hospitals require a medical exam prior to actually...

  5. Protecting Your License: Notes from a Nurse-Attorney

    Daisy4RN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the informative article. It is very important for nurses to always CYA. In the example you used I am not sure how anyone who works in the morgue would not know that a patient/deceased...

  6. Med-Surg help!

    Daisy4RN replied to Coloradogirl814's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hospital nursing is very hard work and I guarantee you will feel like a chicken running around with its head cut off. That being said, it will get easier every day. Ask your preceptor questions, take...

  7. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were sincere until you got to the naming names part. Please do not make excuses for me/my opinion to the Governor or anyone else. I have not said anything I am ashamed of on this thread....

  8. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    Good reminder that we should not assume what patients know, or don't

  9. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    I was a "sitter" for a patient, so I literally had 12hrs to talk to him. He was a current gang member. He was wearing a cross around his neck so I worked into a conversation with him about that....

  10. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Blaq, I am only stating my opinion on societal issues that I believe affect the problem being discussed in this thread, please do not put words in my mouth. Osceteacher, not exactly sure what...

  11. Inadequate Nursing: Patient Safety in Today's Healthcare Marketplace - A Four Part Series

    Daisy4RN replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with and understand what you are saying. I would never condone hostility toward others but am merely pointing out issues that may lead a nurse to lose it. I do remember nursing school,...

  12. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    I want to do what ever is necessary to stop all those who would commit any crimes, and especially these school shootings! I think that we need metal detectors etc first, then we (as a society) need to...

  13. help! Is my job normal?

    Daisy4RN replied to Jl2389's topic in General Nursing

    "Apologies for the lengthy post I am just beyond stressed out and miserable with my current situation and I'm just wondering if it's normal to feel like this during your first nursing job or if this...

  14. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I am not sure I agree with your interpretation but I would like to see the facts and statistics you are referring too, and how they compare to our country that was founded by Christian leaders...

  15. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is my point/opinion, but not just schools, society in general. And since we have removed Christian principles (good values/morals) society has taken a turn for the worse. It is possible to...

  16. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you feel that way. I never said someone has to believe in God to be a good person. I agree, there are many good people with good values/morals who do not (believe in God). That was not my

  17. Inadequate Nursing: Patient Safety in Today's Healthcare Marketplace - A Four Part Series

    Daisy4RN replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Nursing

    Seems a little over the top that someone would become "very upset" and/or quit nursing school just because they did not "feel welcome". Every Instructor should know that the hospital environment is...

  18. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    MrNurses response did not sound like hate or holier-that-thou to me. I think it is good to advise people to try to take care of themselves and clean up their own messes instead of looking to others to...

  19. Right med but suspended

    Daisy4RN replied to CJ2121's topic in General Nursing

    Mom knows best, LOL I am glad that things are looking up, maybe staying where you are might work out now, especially if you want to go back to school, good

  20. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone wants to "starve children", I think the point is that too many people become dependent on the government (ie taxpayers) because they get too comfortable and don't keep trying to...

  21. School Shootings

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Way to simplistic of thought here, not to mention backwards...among other things you are stereotyping anyone who either defends the 2nd amendment or who brings God into the discussion as a "bad...

  22. Is it a waste of my talent to go into Home Health?

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

    Agree with the other posters that your Manager is bias in that opinion. You are already working Home Health prn and know that good assessment/intervention/critical thinking skills are highly...

  23. Favouritism in nursing school!

    Daisy4RN replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    No, I would not write a letter. Welcome to the real world where life is not always fair and every player does not get a blue ribbon. Focus that energy on your career and family which is a much better...

  24. I don't think I can take it anymore.

    Daisy4RN replied to sashaq's topic in General Nursing

    First year nursing is very hard, and I am sure that ICU is even harder. Try not to take things personally. Learn what you can from the experience and continue to move forward. Be proactive, ask...

  25. Inadequate Nursing: Patient Safety in Today's Healthcare Marketplace - A Four Part Series

    Daisy4RN replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Nursing

    Very good article! I would also add that it should not be mandatory for bedside nurses to be assigned a nursing student. Not all nurses are cut out for this and/or want to have a nursing student, if...
