  1. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    Daisy4RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Only for “severe” illness. So it is certainly within the realm of possibility for a HCW to go to work and still be contagious, esp when we all know how nurses are treated when they call in

  2. Heart Irregularity ECG

    Daisy4RN replied to joshua st cyr's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am sorry but we are not able to provide medical advice per terms of service. If you are worried I would advise you to speak to the Attending Physician and get some answers, be persistent if you need...

  3. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    Daisy4RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe it has changed but I had Covid in Oct and was told by the County Health Dept to isolate until no fever for 24 hrs and symptoms were better/improving (subjective!). I believe the PCR test is the...

  4. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    Daisy4RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How would we know that any staff was MRSA positive, and even if so they would probably not have an active infection unlike the positive Covid HCW. We did (sometimes) warn people about dirty...

  5. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    Daisy4RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Am I reading the chart correctly, that the CDC is now saying that unvaccinated HCWs can now work even if infected with no post Covid negative test needed. Anyway, I thought they were all fired...

  6. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your eloquent illumination DD! Looks like the 2022 “new” recommendations have been repurposed from years past…...

  7. RN Claims to Be An LPN To Avoid Certain Tasks

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Then this person should be written up or fired for not doing the job they were hired to do,

  8. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    If your theory is correct I am not sure what “higher consciousness” has done for me. I have become more jaded and cynical since becoming a nurse. I sometimes tell people I used to be a nice person...

  9. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true. They never address the big issues. And, when they do address those small issues they keep moving the goal posts bc they need to justify their existence. But the...

  10. We're Like Travelers, In Our Own Hospital! $$

    Daisy4RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    That is great news JBMmom, from reading some of your latest posts it is most definitely deserved!! Hopefully it will make the next few weeks a little more

  11. Exhausted from Covid

    Daisy4RN replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you are having such a horrible time. If you are financially able to quit and want to then by all means just do it! If on the other hand you want to take FMLA and see how it goes then do...

  12. Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Daisy4RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Joint Commission has been a joke for (at least) the last 25 years! A total waste of money and time. Hospitals already need to comply with gov agencies and inspections so not sure why JACHO is needed...

  13. Christmas Miracles in the Emergency Room!

    Daisy4RN replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn’t agree more! God will definitely lead by His spirit when we ask. Although I can’t think of any Christmas stories like yours per se I have also had may experience of people telling me...

  14. War on Nurses

    Daisy4RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Allow me to clarify….. The hospital was not allowing LVNs to perform tasks/skills that were most definitely within their scope of practice. Therefore, the work of the LVNs on the RN/LVN...

  15. Christmas Miracles in the Emergency Room!

    Daisy4RN replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    From your article: “So this Christmas season look around and fill the cup of a coworker with laughter, love, acceptance, and care in your own unique way! Isn't that what Christmas is really about?...

  16. Home health case manager

    Daisy4RN replied to Rollerrn2011's topic in Home Health

    I have worked HH on 2 separate occasions throughout my career. The first time it was good, the second not so much bc of all the paperwork, calls etc. That said, the offer sounds fair enough but just...

  17. "Any Nurse Is Allowed to Step Up"

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if JKL was joking but this seems like a very good idea. Learn how to shorten those notes (esp since someone has already mentioned the bio) and other tasks so you can leave on time. This...

  18. War on Nurses

    Daisy4RN replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is most definitely the crux of the matter. Healthcare has been in a downward spiral for many years and admin knew/knows exactly how to fix it but won’t bc the bottom line is the almighty...

  19. Clueless People

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    As an introvert myself I completely can identify with you DD. It is usually my husband that is asking me to go to social functions with him. I of course agree that Belinda did a great job. But...

  20. Considering Quitting My Job- Had Enough (Kind of a Vent Post)

    Daisy4RN replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    So did your absences actually violate the policy if you are still per diem? I am guessing maybe bc even though per diem you were scheduled full time? I would check that. I worked per diem and like you...

  21. Exemption Friendly Facilities

    Daisy4RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    OP has made numerous musing posts that are meant for discussion. Of course one would expect different points of view but there are some people who just seem to be obtuse and/or argue ad nauseam, which...

  22. IV Sedation Question

    Daisy4RN replied to Kimmadsim's topic in General Nursing

    Could be either anxiety or a physical cause or both. Did she seem overly anxious going into the procedure. I know someone who won’t step into a Dental office for anything without a anti-anxiety med....

  23. Considering Quitting My Job- Had Enough (Kind of a Vent Post)

    Daisy4RN replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    Did your supervisor say anything to you on the Friday you went back? Not there that day? I would do what ever works best for you; although, since you don’t know what the meeting is about you may not...

  24. Fight for 18? Really?

    Daisy4RN replied to feelix's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is just pathetic! My granddaughter just got her first job at chik-fil-a and started at $15/hr, worked a few months and is now at $16/hr. She is 16yo with no work

  25. Help!

    Daisy4RN replied to AnonymousGuest's topic in General Nursing

    Even though you were cleared it sounds like you still did not follow proper protocol (if I am understanding you correctly you were supposed to count after you took out the narcotic and didn’t) which...
