Has anyone ever had an ethical struggle that has caused them to leave a job? I just started this new job. The place is in a lot of trouble due to a recent state survey. I had to "redirect" a nurse as to an illegal activity with documentation that s...
Hi Everyone.. I just want to get a feel for what I should expect in an orientation for a new job. I'm not a new nurse, been one for 6 years, but have been out of the patient bedside nursing for two years due to a medical issue. I just got "canned" ...

Hello everyone.. Ms. Sensitivity here again. After a couple yrs out of nursing due to health issue.. I'm back orienting in a new place (same type of position) but am feeling (and hearing snickers behind my back isn't helping) SO DUMB! This computer s...
I supervise and work a floor in LTC. A patient of mine has cancer, and due to the location of his cancer, his blood glucose levels were "trending" down. We have orders to report BG below 70 to the MD. I mentioned that I would be reporting this to t...
