  1. Changing Nursing for Hygienist

    Definitely thinking of leaving nursing after 8 years. I have done different areas and now LTC is by far the worst. I can see me losing my license under these horrible conditions. LTC sets you up to fail fron the beginning with 30 residents to medicat...
  2. Need help regarding insulin policy in LTC

    For as long as you live and you are a nurse please, please ALWAYS GET AN MD ORDER for anything that is not on the MAR. The DON and charge nurse know they screwed up because their system is flawed. They probably decided to say that the RCM was telling...
  3. Legal issues with only having one RN on the floor

    By law you have to get a break if you are working atleast 8 hours so how do you get a break? If you sit down to eat and something goes wrong you are going to be in soooo much trouble because you have to show that you were relieved of your assignment ...
  4. Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    Just my two cents but don't listen to the bull about coming in for the patients sake or for anyone elses sake. At the end of the day its a JOB....and you need your LICENSE. The admin knew it was that way for weeks and didnt care. I wouldnt have calle...
  5. How soon should I go from LPN pay to RN pay

    I would not wait more than one pay period and if I did hear from the DON I would make sure it will be retroactive to back when I first got my license and handed them the paper work. That DON may be using your RN status to cover her RN coverage for yo...
  6. It's not always about you - a mini rant

    I like when other pep share their experience as long as it stays on point with the topic.
  7. I have not left nursing but I definitely want to. I'm just burnt out on it I think. I feel like dealing with other peoples problems is sucking the life out of me. Better to just leave and regroup and if it calls me back maybe I will have a better per...
  8. Fired By Patient Family

    So let me get this straight, you were asked to change assignments because some pt didn't like you???? But you were not actually fired? Do I have this right? If so, thats nothing to scuff about, it happens. Now if you were FIRED, that would be differe...
  9. What have you done without a Dr. order?

    when I was a new grad a resident gave me a verbal order for pain meds for a patient. He had the chart so I assumed he would write it. Well he didnt and I took the med out on override so it looked like I took out a narc with no orders to back it. I di...
  10. have an interview and am pregnant

    I just went through this myself. I went on the interview and once I got the offer I told them then just to be fair and honest. I told them that I would understand if they couldnt extend the job to me now knowing my situatuion. I think because I was h...
  11. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    Someone help me to understand. If I am the charge nurse of a physicians office and I have a MA working under me, how am I responsible for them if they are not licensed or have a certification? They dont really follow the nursing model, from what I un...
  12. Do you have a job offer? If so ask your future employer for a copy of the dress code. If no job, I would just get something cheaper but comfortable. No use in buying cute shoes just to find out that you cant wear them. I had that happen to me with a ...
  13. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    On the floor I use to work on we have four rooms at the end of the hall that are dedicated to Gastric Bypass pts. There was always freaky things happening in those rooms and of course they were at the end of a long hall. On several occassions the cal...
  14. Pre employment physical while pregnant?

    I really feel bad for you. I am going through something similar myself. I did tell my boss but Im not as far along as you are. I was told that I would most likely be fired and hopefully rehired after I have the baby. If I am not rehired I hope to app...
  15. Gum Chewing

    I wish that my only debate in life was whether or not to chew gum at work. I couldnt care less what other nurses did as long as it didnt affect me or pt care. And pts dont care anyway. If they can lift their butt cheeks to fart and still talk to me w...
