1. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

   lobianm replied to DesertRN2's topic in COVID

   I got the flu shot and I got sick. I was miserable. I called employee health because I wanted it documented I did get sick after getting "the shot". They said they can't see me because I am sick and they do not see sick people. Then I told her my sym...

2. Vertical Violence on the floor

   lobianm replied to lobianm's topic in General Nursing

   Not possible...for reasons stated. Pump needs to be ordered from central, there are not extras kept on floor, and it did not arrive before shift ended. Otherwise there would have been no problem ;-)

3. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

   lobianm replied to DesertRN2's topic in COVID

   First let me remind that some states are a right to work state and others, as in SC, are not. A SC attorney told me "they can fire you because their favorite football team lost last night". No questions asked. And now a thought: I never get the flu ...

7. Vertical Violence on the floor

   lobianm replied to lobianm's topic in General Nursing

   Yes I was told I falsified docmentation because the antibiotic was scanned as being given but was found not given and hanging on the pole with no IV pump. The truth is what I already wrote here. I checked out that website...it looks very helpful. I ...

8. Vertical Violence on the floor

   lobianm posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am wondering if anyone has had experience with vertical violence, manager to staff, bullying in their work setting and how they handled it. I have a very sad story where my manager had a personality conflict with me, withheld opportunities such as ...
