  4. Dealing With Insurbordinate/Arrogant Co-Workers

    There is one in every facility. He definately needs to be put in his place and needs a review of what his job description is. I would write him up. Im sure the other real "Nurse's" will follow suit. Good luck!
  5. Two job offers for new LPN

    If I were you, I would accept job #2. Its steady work as and you don't have to sit and wait for a call as you would being a PRN. Probably alot less stress to and you do have other Nurses there for help and support. Good luck!

  11. How is this fair?

    Its always about the almighty dollar. If you like your job you should suck it up. Jobs are difficcult to come by.
  12. I wouldnt worry to much. Depending on the state you may have to write the Department of Regulation a letter saying that you made a poor choice and will never do it again. This happened to me 10 years before I went to nursing school. No worries.:)
  13. Minor things people get fired/wrote up over,,,give examples.

    Lost my job for clocking in 8 minutes before my shift. Company fought unemployment but I won. Had previously discussed with employer that since the facility did not have a charge nurse (She was fired 3 weeks before) I had to take on the role since i ...
