In the Coaching Profession we call sincere, genuine acknowledgement of someone else's moment as "celebrating what is" or "championing". There are many moments to celebrate or champion others in the simplest of ways. An authentic acknowledgement builds toward greater unity of purpose and intention in work groups. Try it...you might like it!

I can understand getting written up for foul language as it is not professional. However, as all of us know there are many clicks within the nursing profession and if some people don't like you they will write you up until you are gone. This has never happened to me but I have seen and heard many nurses saying that they do not want to work with a certain nurse because they feel that nurse is not safe and the only way to get rid of the nurse is to have written documentation. Sometimes it is justified and othertimes it is just the frustration of not fitting in.

sorry bad but i disagree with writing someone up for unprofessional conduct such as swearing.
i can understand being called aside and told to watch the language but filling out an occurance report is a waste of time.
time wasted writing it
time wasted reviewing it
time wasted being called in about it

one sentance ....watch your language....would have been enuff.

you are right about the not fitting in thing tho i dont really care that much about "fitting in" with those kind of ppl.

its a control thing.
i just wonder how management is going to use this against me.

I must be old or something. To me an incident report is an inhouse form used to document an inury either to person or prop. A med error report is, of course an in house form to report a med error. Both of these forms are filled out by the staff involved and ask questions such as how it happened and how to avoi future occurances.When staff is written up it is done by supervisory staff and can be a TRUE learning exp. when fellow staff has a complaint they report it to supervisors and they take it from there.

if you cannot even see a write up how do you know that you have been written up and for what? How can you correct something that is a mystery to you? I would complain to the labor relations board in your state because this does not even sound legal to me.

Frustrated, I agree with lpnandloveit1. If it is an official write up that would go on your file you should be reading it. Anything that goes on our file we have to read and sign and we are given an opportunity to tell the other side of the story. Anything disiplinary that goes in your file they have to show you. If it's not official then it means nothing. Check with HR or request to see your file. Don't let them intimidate you!!

oh im well aware of the legalities of them not showing me those reports. they are trying to protect the nurses that wrote them as tho i couldnt figure it out.
without seeing them i was able to name the date and time and patient name and doc of every single occurance. this had to blow their minds.
im thinking that not letting me see them is my ace in the hole here.
when my review comes up they will probably try to use them and ill bring it up then.
