   My last day is the 29th I’m going to start traveling. I won’t have to worry about it then. Unfortunately my supervisor doesn’t have anyone’s back. I am bleed to have strong nurses on those 2 nights because there are a couple that are kinda iffy and t...

2. Frustrating

   nursebeth77 posted a topic in Safety

   I’ve been an ICU nurse since May2019, and a nurse since 2011. Last week I was assigned as the charge nurse unexpectedly. I have never been trained as one and I felt very uncomfortable all night with being in a position I was not ready for. I guess I ...

5. Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

   nursebeth77 replied to Rayrayma's topic in Safety

   I completely agree, that why they called in a sitter to watch him.

6. Frustrating

   nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Safety

   Yes, I worked at a different hospital when it was mandatory to give report. I couldn't do what a lot of the nurses here in our ER do. No, I'm not the only nurse that complains about some of the reports we get from our ER. We get unstable pts all the ...

7. Unsafe doctor...do I report it?

   nursebeth77 replied to Munimula's topic in Safety

   Heck yes I would report him. He is cutting into someone and we are supposed to be pt advocates. I'm tired of some nurses just blowing stuff off because it's a "DR" and they could do no wrong. If my child or one of my family members were to have surge...

8. Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

   nursebeth77 replied to Rayrayma's topic in Safety

   When someone is a 1:1 and restrained, you always watch for personal safety and pt safety. That's why they are a 1:1 and need to be watched. I can't see a nurse telling you to ignore him. Your supposed to watch him not ignore him. If the pt is in the ...

   nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Safety

   Wow that's crazy! I worked in the ER for over a year and I always gave report. I didn't know it didn't happen everywhere else. I worked at a level one trauma center then and we had too. I've been a floor nurse at a different hospital for a few years ...

10. Frustrating

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Safety

    Ok, just to be clear, this was his patient not another nurse giving report for him. I do understand that if I'm getting report from another nurse that they most likely have not seen the pt. I understand things can get busy in the ER as well as the f...

12. Frustrating

    nursebeth77 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Safety

    I got this pt at 2100 (9pm), so he had been there for 2 hrs without seeing his pt. And if you read my original post, I said I have worked in the ER, and I never once passed on a pt without seeing them. I was just asking basic questions that he should...

13. Passed CPNE!!!

    nursebeth77 replied to Wigglerwilli's topic in Excelsior

    That's great! Do you have to do the API that they just came up with? And how long after you take the CPNE do you graduate?

14. Failed fcca

    nursebeth77 replied to cjwilliams's topic in Excelsior

    Wow! Y'all have some strong feelings each way, I almost had to make some popcorn to read the posts. I have been been on all three sides of the spectrum, I was an EMT prior to getting my LVN and I also hold a bachelors in Education and I am a Navy ve...

15. Got my date!!!

    nursebeth77 replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior

    Your right it should have been corrected. For her to laugh it off like it's no big deal and then fail you is unprofessional.
