  1. Participating in Protests?

    Daisy4RN replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Extra Pickles: Wow, why the attack? It is relevant to know what you are protesting in the sense of being "professional" which is what she asked! She mentioned many different ideas/concerns. If she was...

  3. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Daisy4RN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody00, CNA In Australia immigration is extremely limited, and only to those who will not be a burden on the system. In the US many people come from other countries, as well as many citizens, to use...

  4. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Daisy4RN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Who knows exactly what to believe but I have seen other articles like this that show that Congress has made special circumstances for themselves. We all need a reboot on the ACA that is a fair plan...

  5. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Daisy4RN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    HeronPro: I do not want more consideration for my circumstances. I just want a fair way to offset those costs imposed on working people. Example: I have to pay $400.00 per day if I am hospitalized. I...

  6. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Daisy4RN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Alinajacat, maybe what is "peanuts" to you is not to other people. I agree with other posts that the ACA is not affordable for them. My premiums and costs skyrocketed! Not affordable for me, and...

  7. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Daisy4RN replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the Healthcare system before the ACA needed some work. I think the majority of problems could have been fixed without repealing the previous system and implementing the ACA before even...

  8. Need some input

    Daisy4RN replied to mlcaldwell05's topic in General Students

    Your story explains why you want to be a nurse, not what you expect to gain from the nursing program. You should use a little bit of your story but elaborate on those things that nurses did/do for...

  9. But Why? Fingersticks and Common Sense

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is the same policy at the hospital I work at, never made sense to me either. Even though nurses do recheck the sugar with the glucometer we are still required to obtain a STAT lab. So, before...

  10. January 2017 Caption Contest Top 8 - Select $100 Winner

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

    I am looking at you, I think my Mom was right when she said "don't roll your eyes too much or they will get stuck like

    OK, the coast is clear, lets make a break for

  12. Nursing a prejudiced Pt.

    Daisy4RN replied to Avid reader's topic in General Nursing

    I just ignore these kind of comments because who has time to deal with it even if you know the meaning behind it, which you don't (without exploring it further). Maybe he had a real problem/experience...

  13. Rough Day, Need Help, encouragemnt

    Daisy4RN replied to Testing12345's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this kind of day is very common in any acute care setting. I think you did a good job but I would say that you need to realize that it is admin that puts nurses in this position and...

  14. New nurse...not sure about nursing anymore

    Daisy4RN replied to Guest989734's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Its always very hard at first because you don't have experience yet. Your coworkers are probably only short with you because they are busy. Try to split up the questions and needing help evenly, and...

  15. What's the best choice between med surg floor than and transplants floor

    Daisy4RN replied to sotofria's topic in General Nursing

    I would consider your long term goals in order to decide where to go next. There maybe no need to work on a med-surg floor and I would avoid it if possible. You have many options with a BS degree and...

  16. Patient Satisfaction: A New Priority

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

    I agree with you that patients and families are out of control and admin does nothing about it (for what ever reason). This leaves the bedside nurse to deal with families with no back up what-so-ever....

  17. My Time Has Come

    Daisy4RN replied to Peepershops's topic in General Nursing

    Godspeed to you on your new journey, whatever that will be. Thank-you for your years of service. The world is a better place because of

  18. Entitled Nurses

    Daisy4RN replied to Kate_Peds's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that nurses ask for anything different than what every other profession/employee expects and deserves. Of course like the article states, you can have a bad day in any position. But,...

  19. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was talking about new nurses and experienced nurses. I am well experienced like you and have found the hospital environment to only get worse every year that passes. Part of it is society in...

  20. Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    Daisy4RN replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it is sad that you would have to tell people they need to behave as professionals in that situation. We used to learn this in even our first jobs (fast food etc). Maybe its society in general...

  21. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Daisy4RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Bottom line is that job satisfaction (at least in the hospital setting) has steadily declined as workloads and stress has steadily increased. Bedside nurses are held accountable for EVERYTHING. It...

  22. Signing off on another nurses paperwork

    Daisy4RN replied to cb9115's topic in General Nursing

    I would never sign another RN's work/notes. That being said, I don't think that is what you mean. If I get a admission that I cannot complete then I give report on what is done/not done and make sure...

  23. Regret becoming a nurse....

    Daisy4RN replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience!! Unfortunately this is the norm for most hospital bedside nursing positions. I have felt exactly the same way you do, and I do mean exactly. It is...

  24. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

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

    I concur with you completely. I think it is rude for anyone who goes to live in a foreign country to not speak the language of that country, especially at work!! If you are traveling then maybe you...

  25. What to do? Underwhelmed RN, stuck in a rut!

    Daisy4RN replied to IGSD777's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posts that state you are not missing anything by not working in the hospital. I would advise any RN to avoid the hospital if possible. Words cannot adequately describe the...
