1. Error in judgement?

   jane_34 replied to jane_34's topic in Safety

   Thanks to all for the replies. I really like seeing things from different perspectives. They discontinued that medication pretty quickly after the incident happened. Everything seems to have settled down at the present time and it's in the past fo...

   jane_34 replied to jane_34's topic in Safety

   Thank you all for the replies. Just to update you I am still working, didn’t lose my job. The resident is the same now as when she moved in. The team lead still thinks she had a stroke. They have stopped pointing fingers at me for now. I notice ...

   Things seem to be ok. I haven’t heard anything more about the incident. I’m hoping all is well. Thank you so much for all of your input, it was very helpful and good to have a different take on it.

   Thank you so much from your input. I definitely learned from this, and will know what to do differently next time. I just hope I don't lose my job.

   This is long, so bare with me. I'm an LPN in long term care. We had a new admission of a resident with severe early onset dementia (with high anxiety) a few weeks ago. She was prescribed too high of a dose of clonazepam by her doctor and got snowe...

   You brought up a valid point, liberated847. I only told it from my perspective. I have no idea what's going on in her life, but it was no excuse for that kind of behaviour. I absolutely do not delight in someone else's misfortune. I'm sorry it had ...

   Thank you for all your replies and support. I really appreciated your input. Just wanted to say this nurse has now been fired. But she wasn't fired for the bullying, she was fired because she failed to adhere to the terms she agreed to when going ...

   I am her supervisor, but I don't have the authority to fire her. That's up to my boss, the manager. All I can do is document her behaviour and pass it on to the manager. I can enforce rules and regulations, and make sure everybody is doing their j...

9. co worker is a bully, help!

   jane_34 replied to jane_34's topic in Stress 101

   Thank you for all your replies. Yes, I am her supervisor. The problem is that she is not very approachable and extremely unpleasant. My boss suggested I implement a rule that requires the nurse to write down the exact location of where a patch is ...

10. co worker is a bully, help!

    jane_34 replied to jane_34's topic in Stress 101

    Thank you for your supportive reply. I will never be able to understand how one gets pleasure out of seeing others make mistakes, and actually makes the effort to help the mistake happen. Very manipulative, destructive behaviour. She is a very un...

    Hello, I'm an LPN who has worked for about a year. I recently got a job as an LPN supervisor in a long term care home. I supervise care aids and other LPNs. I have this LPN co worker who is a major bully. She seems bent on trying to get me to scr...
