i completely understand your desire to fire this person; however, have you thought about talking to her about her behavior and why she has done the things she has done? maybe there is more to the story. as far as the med error, was it investigated? w...

And in the day and age of email, PLEASE do not encourage employees to email the DON/DNS or yourself with interpersonal conflicts that cannot be resolved because they are petty and small. Yes, I know that everyone doesn't see eye to eye all the time;...

Hello everyone! After reading the article "Ten ways to tell your burning out" I realize I made the correct decision by taking off some time and regrouping. I have been off since June. I needed to take a look at myself as a person and as a nurse and...
I don't believe people are angry here or hostile, I just think that everyone at this site has different types of experiences and would like to share the way they cope with the nursing profession itself. Nursing experience is a beautiful thing when it...

Unfortunately in the field of geriatrics people fall and we as nurses have no control over it. Please do not blame yourself, just make sure you document heavy and filled out the incident report correctly. Take a breather, and go in to work and do th...
Hospitals especially med surg are breeding grounds for hostile work environments. I believe she should go to the meeting with hospital admin, make a game plan, and proceed if she wishes to stay there and work. She has nothing to forgive herself for...
