  1. What happened to common sense?

    Daisy4RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I totally agree with you that this is totally obvious that one should not go out in a storm. But maybe they were asking because the patient was insisting and the staff thought they might be in trouble...

  2. You've Got To Be Kidding Me

    Daisy4RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not allowed to chart he or she?? I am with you, I prefer to be called a "she", I am not a they. It would be offensive to me to be called a they. If the reason is because of Foreign Doctors, then the...

  3. Is it ok to take Verbal Chemo Orders

    Daisy4RN replied to monalunaxo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would never take Verbal orders for chemo. Just like any other verbal order, if something goes wrong who do you think will be held responsible! If you are getting push back from your admin then check...

  4. What do I do now.

    Daisy4RN replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure that it makes sense for you to assume that the Charge was going to take the patient just because you got an admit. If it were me I would have clarified it with the Charge (since she...

  5. June 2017 Caption Contest - Select $100 Winner!

    Daisy4RN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    "I told you I was going to escape this place anyway I

  6. Memorial Day - Time to Thank Those that Paid the Ultimate Price

    Daisy4RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Very nicely written. I would also add that although this day is to honor fallen soldiers we should also remember the sacrifices made by all service members and their families. Many young soldiers...

  7. Autonomy as a home health nurse

    Daisy4RN replied to RN416's topic in Home Health

    There must be a nurse in the office you can call for an opinion and I would do that. But just remember that even after you obtain a second opinion its still your responsibility and license. If the...

  8. Am I too old to become an RN??

    Daisy4RN replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    I think that asking this question online means that you will be a good RN. Its called the nursing process and this is you gathering info in an attempt to make an informed decision. I do not think that...

  9. NTI: Resiliency and Burnout

    Daisy4RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This is very good info, especially for what individual nurses can do to help themselves. I am not sure this will help in the long run though because I don't think that admin/managers will do what is...

  10. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    Daisy4RN replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    This is customer service run a muck!! This is ridiculous and insulting to everyone concerned. People are in the hospital because they need medical care!! Its not a spa, not a restaurant, not a hotel,...

  11. Pt assignment in trash

    Daisy4RN replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If I had found that (pt assignment) I would just either give it back (if still needed by the nurse) or just shred it myself (if already old and not needed). If this was not the first time then I would...

  12. Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

    Daisy4RN replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is much you can do to change a workplace that is hostile, or shows favoritism or harassment. It usually is not going to work well for an employee to attempt to confront and change...

  13. Dismissed from BSN Program

    Daisy4RN replied to Dozier's topic in General Students

    We all make mistakes so my comment is not meant to be judgemental but to help you. I am not sure what you did to get kicked out of the program but I think you should take a good hard look at that....

  14. Medications NOT being scanned?!?!?

    Daisy4RN replied to scmelendez1's topic in Patient Medications

    I remember 'back in the day' when we didn't have to get meds out of the Pyxis OR scan the med, OR scan the patient, ah the good old days, just a nurse using her/his mind with no extra work/pain in the...

  15. To the Nurse held Hostage yesterday

    Daisy4RN replied to YoutubeTheNP's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad that both nurses are safe. Working with inmates is usually not a problem but this reminds all of us that we need to be vigilant at all times because inmates, like anyone else, can have...

  16. Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Daisy4RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    If you have requested the same exemption for religious reasons and have been turned down, then yes I would say something. If you are only concerned about the short staffing then I still would say...

  17. What Did You Get For Nurses Week?

    Daisy4RN replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    ...whatever we get (which isn't much) everyone else gets also, a ribbon for

  18. Manager catch phrases

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    "I will look into that and get back to you".......suuure you

  19. A Very Sincere Thank You

    Daisy4RN replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry you had to go through all that, hoping you are feeling better now. I have also had multiple surgeries and it is not fun to be on the other side. Hope after the fibroid surgery you are

  20. Stupid mistake

    Daisy4RN replied to Sarina_130's topic in Patient Medications

    Everybody makes mistakes because we are all human. The question is, are you going to learn from it. That is all you can do at this point, and please choose to do so. You do have to be careful with...

  21. Pill packets suck

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient Medications

    And really a pain when you have a patient with 20 meds, and /or many throughout the day.. Why can't they use paper wrap on all meds, much

  22. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure that there was not an incident that preceded this? Suspension sounds like overkill for this. Maybe it was the last straw for admin, you mentioned something with them one hour prior to...

  23. Palliative Care on Med Surg Floor

    Daisy4RN replied to Tgeagle83's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Yes, this is common for dying/hospice/palliative patient's to have a continuous PCA running. This is actually a good practice because it gives the patient the best pain control. Just make sure that...

  24. IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    Daisy4RN replied to missjune's topic in Patient Medications

    I believe that NotAllWho Wander is asking what type of a environment you work in, (ie do you work in an acute care facility??). I also would like to know because I, and others, know that it is not...

  25. My inner snowflake

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree!! I have seen so many nurses behave unprofessionally its downright embarrassing. Some people need to understand the difference between work and play, and know how to behave in a...
