  1. Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    Daisy4RN replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    Quote from Susie2310: "so yes, they have the right to express their opinion about the quality of the care they have received"...."Patients and their authorized representatives also have other means by...

  2. Pay per visit rates in CA

    Daisy4RN replied to anilos81's topic in Home Health

    Home Health jobs vary in pay rates depending on the type of visit and agency. They can range from approx. $50.00 (for regular visit) to $100.00 for SOC (Start of care/admit) visits, with others (IV...

  3. Never thought it would be this bad

    Daisy4RN replied to ajacks65's topic in General Nursing

    Agree 100% with the other posters that encourage you to get out of the pool ASAP!. Look for a unit you think you might like, settle in and see what happens. In the mean time start exploring other...

  4. Words to take with us each day.

    Daisy4RN replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Love

  5. Personal Address Disclosed to the public? what does this mean?

    Daisy4RN replied to Kate.Med/Surg RN's topic in General Nursing

    I also find it very unsettling to know that any patient and/or family member could so easily find your personal information. I have been threatened, as well as many of my co-workers, by all types of...

  6. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    Daisy4RN replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have also left the hospital for the same reasons you did. I disagree with you though that is not the patients fault. While I see your point for some patients, there are also those who go way above...

  7. Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    Daisy4RN replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    And this is the first problem!!! Reimbursement should not be based on the satisfaction of sick people who do not understand job descriptions. I agree that happy nurses will (for the most part) make...

  8. When Nurses Make Fatal Mistakes

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately mistakes will happen no matter how "good" a nurse is because we are all human and humans make mistakes, there is no getting around that. I think that most mistakes occur due to systemic...

  9. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Daisy4RN replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, I don't think that the answer is to stop all Medicaid funding. I just think that PP does more harm than good sometimes and I just wanted to provide the flip side of the coin. I think that it is...

  10. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Daisy4RN replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    JenGirl, I am sorry for your personal situation, nobody should have to go through that! I do not disagree with abortion for certain situations and would never deny care to anyone in those situations...

  11. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Daisy4RN replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most people who are against Federal funding for Planned Parenthood are against just that, against Federal Funding! Planned Parenthood is a multibillion dollar organization that does not need Federal...

  12. superstitions/things you always do before work?

    Daisy4RN replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I try to arrive at least 15 minutes early, that way I don't have to stress about traffic etc. before even getting to work. I used to go inside but then all the night nusres want to start report early...

  13. Is he shirking a crap job or am I just in a bad mood?

    Daisy4RN replied to redheadrn86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sounds like he was taking advantage of the situation. Even if it was a gender issue the student could have done the enema. I would have told him no, just no, that's not the kind of task you pass on...

  14. Feeling down no job as A RN

    Daisy4RN replied to 321Ken's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Agree with the other posts, just keep pressing forward. Try to find out why they did not hire you at your old place of employment and why did an interview go bad (then use that experience for next...

  15. Verge of nervous breakdown

    Daisy4RN replied to skydancer7's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am sorry you are going through this! Working a staff job in a hospital is extremely stressful even if you don't have any disorders (many nurses acquire these after working nurse jobs as well) maybe...

  16. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Daisy4RN replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Let's face it, even nurses are human beings that will have negative thoughts and do things that we shouldn't. That being said, I do not think that nurses should act on those negative thoughts is a...

  17. Saved my sanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Emod's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And, good luck/best wishes to you

  18. Saved my sanity

    Daisy4RN replied to Emod's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am glad to hear that you are doing well, congratulations on your journey so far. I am sorry that you cannot keep your school job, I don't think that is fair but that's a whole other article. I wish...

  19. Already want to leave home health but don't know how to explain the WHY. Please help.

    Daisy4RN replied to baxt's topic in Home Health

    I had this same experience with Home Health. My orientation was bad, and way too much paperwork to ever be caught up on time. Are you sure that the policy is that strict where you are at now? If you...

  20. Nurses Just Need to Learn How to Say NO!

    Daisy4RN replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you that nurses need to learn how to say no. It is extremely hard to do that in the current work environment as managers/admin will usually blame the nurse for everything saying its the...

  21. Flu Shot or Mask?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the questions that should be asked are: how many patients have contracted the flu from staff, why do nurses work while sick, and what is the efficacy rate of the flu vaccine. Take all...

  22. Participating in Protests?

    Daisy4RN replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe, elkpark, extrapickles: I am a little scared that you all can read my mind...I think I better go make a tinfoil

  23. Took NCLEX 9 times, passed 10th time 265 questions!

    Daisy4RN replied to youcanrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!! You are correct in that "it doesn't define who you are or who you will become". You are an inspiration for those who's lives and plans (which is just about everyone) do not go as...

  24. Severe anxiety

    Daisy4RN replied to Socrates12358's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Agree with others that you should see someone STAT to stabilize your s/s. That being said, I know many nurses who are either suffering from Anxiety or PTSD. Some nursing positions are just too much!...

  25. Participating in Protests?

    Daisy4RN replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    My response to the OP questions was not political. I find it a little amusing that you infer what you think I mean and assume that I am turning this into a "war" and am responsible for taking the...
