What's up with the nurses week? I got written up for very twisted and ridiculous story that pt's wife made up (and management believed her, not me). It is so ridiculous, I even cried, because it's ok to get in trouble for something you did, but I did not do what she said I did.
I am getting so discouraged, I think about totally quitting and going to school for something more meaningful. For the last two weeks, I was yelled at by the moody doctor; yelled at by fussing wife of the patient; this morning doctor basically grabbed my left breast during rounds, showing that I put lidoderm patch in the wrong spot on my patient (even I put it exactly where pt pointed me at). I don't know how long I will last. I feel like not coming back to work on Monday.

Good grief. I'm sorry about that. Sounds like you've been assaulted. Hang in there.

p.s. I moved this post out of someone elses thread in the breakroom and moved it here, so perhaps you can get some courangement and support and be able to respond.

Yikes! It doesn't sound like you're having a good week, at all. I hope things get better for you soon!

((((HUGS)))) I would certainly hope that the nurse manager would not take the word of a patient over yours. Our nurse manager always defends us, but apoligizing and trying to appease the patient.

doctor should not be grabbing at you.

pt's wife should not be making up stories - maybe others who hear
will realize how ridiculous the story is - a person who does this
will sometimes become known for their style - then the person
maybe will put her foot in her own mouth.

Was that a female doctor? Or a male doctor?
....the one that grabbed your breast...

Y'know ... when you think about it ... the gender shouldn't really matter. It's wrong to grad someone unnecessarily, period.

[chuck1234]

Well, if it were a male doctor...then it sound like a lawsuit
If it is a female doctor, she can get a verbal warning for that one...
It is wrong...I agree!

I am so sorry. You have already received good advice. NO ONE has the right to grab you in any way.
