  1. But I had a manager once who was oh so kind and understanding when I explained to her that I was late for work one day (the only day in three years) due to an episode of my panic attacks. I was 90 minutes late. While this condition is 99% under contr...
  2. Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    How about the visitor/family members who refuses to leave the room while care is being provided? I recall working at an LTC facility and the son and daughter would visit mom in her room. When the staff needed to get mom up and dressed or changed even...

  4. New Grad RN feeling down after a lousy interview.

    I remember going to an interview and the interviewer told me she was going to stop the interview right there. In the first 5 minutes of the interview! I was told that I didn't have the visiting home nurse experience that they needed. Had she read the...

  9. Best MD note

    I still recall the doctor, a psychiatrist, who wrote an order "Give drug STAT on Thursday."
  10. Forced to work longer than scheduled hours....

    The governing body says that once I have advised management that I can not stay and give them sufficient time to replace me then they must do so even if they have to replace me with themselves. I also can not be forced to stay and work if I feel that...
  11. Forced to work longer than scheduled hours....

    Countless times I found myself after working 3-11 being FORCED to stay and do the overnight shift as well. Generally because the night nurse was sick, or absent and there was no one who would answer their phones to come in. Almost always I bite the b...
