  1. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    I filled out an employee incident. What happened is a resident fell on me when I answered the alarm and my knee twisted some and hurt a little that night. I filled out the form in case it really hurt the next day because it has to be done in 24 hou...
  2. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    Meeting over accept days or be terminated. She basicly accused me of being unsafe to leave me in charge of the building. She threatened to take my nursing license. She called me liar and and said my time study was an absolute lie because she review...
  3. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    Im actually considering letting her be a B**ch, with just me in the room but have a tape recorder running on my phone. When she says she didn't say that, I have proof she did. I know she will not remain professional.
  4. Forced to another shift when I have seniority

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I meet with her in 4 hours. I have written down my points on why this change does not work for me to start with. If that is not enough to get her to back down, I am going to ask why force me to the shift 5 others ...
  5. I have looked all over this site and can't find any advise. Some support and advise would be appreciated. My boss is forcing me to an inconvenient shift to try to force me to quit even though I am one of the more senior nurses at the facility. Firs...
  6. Need career guidance from experienced pro's

    First I would get some RN nursing experience in. When the hospital or others in your area are looking for a HR person or nurse manager look into it. I think it would be ideal if hospitals used nurses in the hiring process more than HR person. Just m...
  7. Past job ruining chance of new job

    When you say eligible for rehire, what do you mean? I didn't do anything bad, I quit. However they will not hire me again. So can they state that they would not hire me again? Or would it have to be that I did something to make hiring me again again...
  8. Narcotics Documentation

    I agree with the friend that works in nursing law. You followed the procedures in place at that practice, you didn't do anything wrong. Good luck.
  9. Past job ruining chance of new job

    I have a question regarding my past employment as a CNA coming back to haunt me. Situation is before going to nursing school I was a CNA/CMA for about 4 or 5 yrs at a LTC facility. When I was working there my kids were young and I was doing evening s...
  10. Narcotics Documentation

    What do you mean you will lose your license over this? I understand that you gave meds that were not documented correctly due to that facilities charting policies however YOU are the one that reported it and you left due to the unsafe conditions. Ha...
  11. Attention New Grads- Pinning Ceremony Question

    Just an idea out there for pinning. Our nursing instructor instilled in us for the pinning it is her honor to pin us as in she is passing on the profession. She said that as nursing students we were really under her license at clinicals even though w...
  12. Grad in June - Who to invite and how???

    I agree with deadhead, this is your day to celebrate and don't invite anyone that would ruin that for you. I would say a small celebration for 10 or less people that really supported you would would be more fun for everyone than a drama production o...
  13. What makes a bad nurse?

    I would say a bad nurse is one who doesn't really care about patients but is there for a job and to do as little as possible. That and RNs that think care partners or LPNs are below them and treat them badly. That care partner works harder for her p...
  14. I gave too much morphine... please read and advise

    I agree with all the above posts. Nothing was done wrong to warrant a report since the order said up to 10. However I feel the nurse was saving her own butt. With narcotics she should have been there looking at the amount drawn up before you gave it....
  15. Nclex passing rate of 74.8%

    I agree with the above posts. Schools need to keep pass rates up to stay out of trouble with the state board of nursing. I wouldnt go as far as to say you shouldn't attend that school. My guess is that school just hasn't figured out that trick of usi...
