1. Advice?

   Daisy4RN replied to Nurserue's topic in General Specialties

   First of all, we all make mistakes bc we are all human. You haven’t mentioned the type of mistakes so I would just caution you to focus on the big mistakes, the ones that will cause harm/the most harm and see what you can do to avoid those (asking qu...

2. I'm back!

   Daisy4RN replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

   Welcome back! No argument from me that HH can be brutal. I have done it two different times as well and after the 2nd said no way ever again. So much more work/paperwork the 2nd time. Besides the paperwork, constant calls to MD, calls from pts/f...

3. Eighteen Days: My COVID Story

   Daisy4RN replied to mperry's topic in COVID

   Ty. Mine were not recent losses but it still bothers me that I could not be there. I can’t even imagine what you must have went through working during Covid and then losing your Dad. I hope that with time you and your family’s pain will become less a...

4. Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

   Daisy4RN replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Nursing

   I wouldn’t worry about it just yet. The person who texted you is a coward, IMO they should either keep their trap shut or say it to your face. (Maybe with the phone number you can trace it though). I would try to keep a low profile and hope it just ...

5. Eighteen Days: My COVID Story

   Daisy4RN replied to mperry's topic in COVID

   So sorry for your loss! I can relate, both my parents died at different times and I wasn’t able to be there for either one, it is devastating indeed.

6. Polst

   Daisy4RN replied to Ariana30's topic in Nursing

   The POLST is a MD order (vs an advance directive) and therefore needs an MD/provider signature to be a valid order (at least in my state). Check your state requirements and notify the MD immediately for a signature; the pt status on Hospice doesn’t ...

7. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

   Daisy4RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in Nursing

   Well by using that logic one would have to also consider Medicaid, Blue Cross, Kaiser, Tricare and every other private or Fed/state Insurance to be Universal healthcare also. So when we have so many different entities we do not have universal healthc...

8. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

   Daisy4RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in Nursing

   Kinda painting with a broad brush! Personally I have seen many more people on Medicaid who feel entitled than those on Medicare, (and even when they have not put into the system like those on Medicare). And even if true about Medicare recipients not ...

9. Allnurses Debates!

   Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Lounge

   Personally speaking I hate debating on this site (not in general) because some people are notorious for the attack on the person and/or the person’s ability as a nurse/HCP. I have seen this happen to many posters and have experienced both multiple ti...

10. Allnurses Debates!

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Lounge

    “John McNichols said something along the lines of "Artists have an important role in any society and that's to show us alternative perspectives to the accepted mainstream ways in which we think... for this reason we afford the artist latitude in thei...

11. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing

    Exactly, and usually when they go “out of bounds” innocent people get hurt in the process. Add to that they fail to see their hypocrisy. Yikes! They were showing the copies to people at the party/gathering? I see why you were so out...

12. Wanting to get trained in ICU. Have I messed up?

    Daisy4RN replied to ModeratelyObscure's topic in Nursing

    I think it would just depend on the individual hospital and their needs etc. Either way, 5 months med surg is probably not enough to get you into ICU without extensive training, and is definitely not enough for travel. If ICU is your goal you may nee...

13. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing

    I think that principals are very important and I also like to stand up for what I believe in no matter who likes it or not. The problem comes when people have different principles and either can’t discuss them logically/realistically or can’t figure ...

14. A Sticky Wicket

    Daisy4RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing

    So where were they going to “publicly display” these armbands, social media? I also agree that this is disrespectful to the deceased (unless they were given permission by the deceased). Not only that but how do they even know there was foul play invo...

15. What is something you wish patients, families and/or your coworkers knew about you?

    Daisy4RN replied to SilverBells's topic in Nursing

    I also kept a very low profile at work and didn’t share with others unless it was something I felt could possibly help them (ie I have been through that also…). I think your question pertains more to what you wish that patients/families knew about yo...
