  1. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    If you're dead set on reporting them, make SURE they're actually diverting. I was just fired (I live in Atlanta) because we got a new don/adon and both are black, which is great. Except every single person I work with hates white people. They proceed...
  2. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

    Heh heh... Try Georgia, where LPNs WITH supervisory experience make a grand total of $14/hr in a lot of places. I made $19/hr fresh out of school when I moved to Mississippi.
  3. relocating

    What they said is true... I moved here from out of state with my LPN, and when they told me they'd be offering me $14/hour at a LTC center, I laughed and said, 'No, really... what are you really offering?' The quizzical look on the ladies face said i...
  4. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    I finally decided to quit and get another LTC job, which was just as horrible as the last place. I've decided to take a break from LTC and do Private Duty nursing (which not only pays $7-11/hr more, but is INFINITELY less stressful). I don't think I'...
  5. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    I have decided to leave the job. I have an interview next week at another facility, so fingers crossed I get the job. I told my manager I felt like I was working in a hostile environment, and it was making me very uncomfortable. Nothing was done, and...
  6. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    Is this something I should consider seeing a lawyer about, like was suggested in the first response? Perhaps a 'cease and desist' letter, or maybe a slander lawsuit? I'm concerned this is damaging my career, especially since nurses who don't even wor...
  7. I've been a nurse for 5 years, and at my present facility for 2. I've come to find out in the last 2 weeks, that another nurse (same position as me - floor nurse) has been spreading lies about me throughout the facility, as well as to other nurses in...
  8. I need some advice as to how to handle the medical director at the LTC facility I work at... I work at a 150 bed LTC/acute rehab facility, in which there are 3 MDs (including the med. director, who is assigned 75% of the patients). He is from Africa,...
  9. I need some help from you all, please! I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do. I value the opinions of the nurses on this board, and am hoping to get some advice. I've been experiencing extreme pain in the front of my left shoulder thats gotte...
  10. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    SOOOO... She's BACK, after a week long stay at a psych facility. She ultimately DID come back with a dx of 'Psychosis' and a new order for Risperdal 0.5mg, bid, which she is refusing to take (she does take her 2 mg klonopin and 10 mg lortab, however)...
  11. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    Shes psychotic in MY opinion... she has NO dx of it... they're keeping her here for the $ and that is IT.
  12. I work in a LTC/Rehab facility. There is a patient there who does NOT belong (she is 65 and has absolutely nothing physically wrong with her). However, she is homeless, and because of the money grubbing higher ups, they won't discharge her. She is ps...
  13. Want to start traveling...any info/advice?

    What is the agency pay vs LTC pay? I make a measly $16.50/hr in GA working 3-11 and I was nudged toward agency from a friend... Please help!! I've got to find a new job... I'm desperate.
  14. What isn't wrong with the GA BON?

    Yes. I wish I'd have had the option to do that...
  15. What isn't wrong with the GA BON?

    Sure there is! Just don't be stupid like me and WAIT till you get here to transfer your license. Start ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Like, last year, if you want to get it done THIS year. Pfft). Cursed administrative staffing.
