  1. can they kick me out for the physical?

    Like the others have said, I don't think that there is a chance that your program can keep youout. They may ask another Dr. to check you out (at their expense), but that should be no biggie. Good luck!:)
  2. Can you believe this cr*p???

    I think this is abominable behavior! Unless you work on a unit where everybody is a temp, people know their coworkers, and what is going on in their lives. Word of a family tradgedy spreads FAST in my hospital and on my unit. Sorry to hear about you...
  3. Team Work??

    It sounds to me as though you all are a smart, diligent team of CNAs! If you need/want jobs in N GA, PM me-I might be able to help!
  4. Need directions!!!

    Jacolaur, Off Topic has been changed to "Break Room," and the War & Terrorism thread has been closed and "Current Events" is in its' place. I was as confused as you wre when I came back today-it seems there has been some kind of falling out that...
  5. med errors

    Yep, me too! I did the very thing that you did-hung the wrong abx-right room, wrong patient! Fortunately, the pt's Dr. found the mixup. He was firm, but very nice. He thought that the pt. was allergic to the abx. I hung-he drove over to his offic...
  6. Old Conviction? Dashed hopes?

    Good luck, Ann! I am glad to hear that you see light at the end of your tunnel!
  7. pct debate

  8. Nurses collecting copays

    TOTALLY inappropriate! Let one of the clerks handle that part. That is in no way, shape or form, a nursing duty! I used to work in an ER that required that we send patients to the registration desk to pick up their scripts and discharge papers afte...
  9. Hardest thing I've ever done....

    It never gets easier, and you never get used to it. You do become a little more accustomed to the feeling of loss, in spite of all that you (and others) may have tried to do, but each death is a new experience. You learn some comforting words to sa...
  10. I may lose my hubby

    My son is AD Navy in Bahrain. Let's just pray that they all get to come home in one piece, and alive!
  11. Yippeeeeee!!! I Got A Job!!!

    Renee! Congratulations! I know you are excited-you can almost see your grin! LOL! Enjoy your time with your family, and then get yourself in gear. God Bless!
  12. R these 4 REAL????

    If nothing else, you can get together with the other nurses, aides, or whatever staff was involved, and just discuss whatever heart-rending thing occurred, as a group. It would be best to make a rule that there would be no finger-pointing, or accusa...
  13. It's good to be back....

    Glad that you are back. Tell your Dad that we are sending good wishes his way.
  14. What things have changed in nursing since 1997???

    Hey, Renee! Good to see your photo again! Since I was out of hospital nursing for nearly the same length of time until 4 weeks ago, I feel pretty qualified to answer your question: -the biggest change I have seen, without question is how staff is ...
  15. How do you stay cheerful and bubbly during work?

    I always try to think of what I'll be doing when I get off work, even if it is watching TV with my hubby. Anything to get my mind away from work. Like Heather said, I always try to put on my best face for my patient. I am a teaser and a joke crack...
