  1. This is not what I thought it was

    Daisy4RN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=OrganizedChaos;9719308The last straw that broke my back. One of my patient's had a critical potassium & had to get 4 bags of IV potassium. Well the pharmacy didn't send it up until after...

  3. How has nursing changed you?

    Daisy4RN replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in many many situations like yours with a dying patient. I also have spent time bathing and putting the surroundings in order for the patient/family, either before or after the death. This...

  4. This is not what I thought it was

    Daisy4RN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. I can feel for you! I also have suffered these symptoms with auto-immune disease. As others have stated the right shoes etc can help. Also after you...

  5. How to confront a disrespectful professor

    Daisy4RN replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    While I know how hard nursing school can be with a family, the other posters are right, you are not entitled to any special favors because of it. Everyone in the program has a life and issues to deal...

  6. RIP - Rosie the Riveter!

    Daisy4RN replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Old dude, thanks so much for this remembrance. I remember my grandparents stories of the war and how those at home made many sacrifices as well as the soldiers. My grandma kept her war ration books...

  7. Bullying :Living well is the best revenge

    Daisy4RN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck on your dissertation and I hope it helps with this ongoing

  8. Bullying :Living well is the best revenge

    Daisy4RN replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing

    I don't bask in misfortune of others on a regular basis either but it is nice to see that these people do not always get away with their bulling behavior. I worked in various jobs before nursing and...

  9. Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in nursing for a very long time (almost 20 yrs), enough to see regulations are now running a muck. It is impossible for a bedside nurse to do everything "by the book" with so many...

  10. Should I write a memoir?

    Daisy4RN replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    If that is what you believe God is telling you, then God be with you! I also believe that we touch people everyday by our words and actions. But just remember that just because God says no today...

  11. My apologies to the nursing profession

    Daisy4RN replied to Jon12's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, this is what I did also, nice healthy professional boundaries will help. And as a wise person once told me, life is not fair, and it is your response that matters, 10% what happens to you and...

  12. My apologies to the nursing profession

    Daisy4RN replied to Jon12's topic in General Nursing

    I am truly sorry for what you went through. I hope that you will be able to work through your anger about the loss. Maybe it would help you to realize that this happens to many nurses and it might not...

  13. Should I write a memoir?

    Daisy4RN replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    "Should I write a memoir?"...I was going to say yes, why not?...until I read through your other comments. From what you wrote I am not sure you would be able to handle the negative fallout if it...

  14. Workplace bully at first RN job

    Daisy4RN replied to Amd3429's topic in Nursing Career

    I have also worked with these type of lazy CNA's. I have found the best way to handle it is to simply not do their job. You are the nurse, they are the CNA. If you keep doing their job they will...

  15. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss, I think it is especially hard when you have had to change their living conditions when they didn't want to (but I think deep down they know it is for the better)!! Yes it...

  16. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Add to this that policies cost (even relatively) much more now because of the higher cost of healthcare, 30 years ago people were not going to nursing homes for the issues/care that now they do, much...

  17. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    45% of Americans pay no federal income tax - MarketWatch A little research shows that it is about half of the population that does not pay Fed Income tax. I think it is fair to question not only that,...

  18. Dose BON check school records ?

    Daisy4RN replied to Jasminex's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am confused too. Is this a real question? You need more than a history of playing a nurse in order to be one, you need professional schooling. You also need a healthy respect for people, while it is...

  19. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree that people should be more responsible with their finances and not rely on gov funds but I don't think it is fair to assume that in every situation people will be able to afford LTC...

  20. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen and heard many stories just like this. So sad to see this happen in our great country. But as others have said if she is capable of making decisions she can go back home. There are, or at...

  21. Have I ruined my nursing career?

    Daisy4RN replied to jlc0618's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    So sorry for all your troubles. I don't think that your nursing career is over unless you want it to be. Like others have stated you can try to get a different type of (nurse) job that would have less...

  22. Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    I also watch different news channels, do my own research on different sites etc. and then form my own opinion, I believe the country and people individually would have much better mental health if all...

  23. Mandated Nurse-Patient Ratios

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, this happens in many Calif hospitals. I have seen patients that should have been in stepdown and even ICU on Med-Surg floors in order to keep with the ratios, bad practice and unsafe, but...

    Daisy4RN replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Congratulations and best of luck to

  25. Addressing the Predicted Nursing Shortage

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    No, its been my experience that admin will just figure out who to discharge so they can admit. This of course puts more time restraints/stress on the bedside nurse to hurry and get the patient out so...
