2. Can I Refuse an Assignment?

   Succubus replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I was a new nurse, had no idea I could buy professional liability insurance. Needless to say it's still BS when you have to defend yourself against lies! I every time I think about it i get livid. Wrong is wrong and they had no right to turn me into ...

3. Can I Refuse an Assignment?

   Succubus replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   This is the reason I've come to despise nursing. I refused an assignment on a unit that had just opened up in our facility. It was for new "psych" patients...I worked psych primarily level 2, these were level 4 equipped with a take down team. The oth...

   Succubus replied to medfills's topic in Entrepreneurs

   I have worked for a company that only did med set up and diabetic foot care. They were being paid by medicare? or medicaid? I dealt only with a certain demographic. The only order that we had was the medication order. We weren't allowed to change any...

   Hi Ms Walker, I am an LPN and looking to do the same coupled with medicaid pts to provide limited care. Ive also applied for my missouri medicaid number. Maybe we can do this journey together and then go our separate ways?

   Succubus replied to Succubus's topic in LPN/LVN

9. I think I care too much

   Succubus replied to Succubus's topic in LPN/LVN

   Yeah I wrote a long letter to the administrator, DON, ADON....and I thought compassion was a qualifier in being a nurse. I now know its a license. NO OTHER requirements. I am now looking into home health or working in a Drs office

10. I think I care too much

    Succubus posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    Ive been an LPN for 1.5 years and believe me when I say I was on cloud 9 after I graduated school. So fast forward to 2013 and what Ive noticed is that there isn't any "care" in this industry. I am tired of making enemies because I choose to do whats...

    Well I have taken the compass test for placement, passed that one, waiting on test date to open up for TEAS test. I think I am going with one of the well known nursing programs in my area :)
