   bbcfan replied to bbcfan's topic in Safety

   Sorry I am irking some of you. But the incident truly was just that. He left the floor for the night without giving a report. When the other nurse left she SAID she was going to go admit a new patient. That takes quite along time. What she did wa...

   Suppose to read judgement, not environment. Auto correct is rarely my friend. Thanks y'all. Will let you know how the license issue goes but it will be a few weeks to a few months. Hope your new year will be happy and stress free and that all you...

   Our state does not allow unions for teachers, nurses, policemen, firemen, etc. And this WAS his first infraction. Hospital was recently acquired by another and I think the interim director is trying score points. Our concern now is his license. Th...

   Thank you all for your posts. It did help us get through to the point where we know for sure. Now we at least know where we stand. You all made valid points. Thank you.

5. How likely is termination?

   The rules do say his license is active until the time any action to suspend is made. But how can you honestly look for another position with that over your head? True, he can state on an application that he holds a free license, but he would have a...

   You are right, krisiepoo. The incident will be reported to the BON. The director is required to report such incidents according to the rules. It isn't up to her to make the decision of the severity we realize. Of course, that doesn't mean any act...

7. How likely is termination?

   bbcfan replied to bbcfan's topic in Safety

   He might not be telling me everything but he has never been disciplined or counseled for anything. But leaving the floor without giving a verbal report even if the nurse is there is reckless behavior and must be reported to the nursing board. Just ...

   He got terminated. He caught many pharmacy errors and they didn't' t even get a hand slap. Glad I don't work for THAT hospital.

   Still no news. He was scheduled to work tomorrow and can't get hold of anyone either by phone or email to update him. So frustrating!

    Well, he knows it is serious. He doesn't tell me exactly what the conversation was except to say he thought that she indicated she would get what get what she needed from his chart notes. And when he got home family was here to surprise him and he ...

12. When will the "I feel like a bothersome fifth wheel" moments go away?

    bbcfan replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    I think jadelpn is spot on with the advice to go with what your manager wants and to try to keep a notebook. And hang in there and give yourself time. Starting anew is always stressful. Even when you take a position in a field in which you are wel...

13. I hate being a Nurse

    bbcfan replied to Runninonempty's topic in Geriatric

    I would look for another position. You will burn out and lose your passion for nursing if you stay. I so wish the powers that be would realize overloading nurses is bad for business as well as patient care. It is horrible to work in a place that p...

14. Need advice about where to turn.

    bbcfan replied to Biohazard's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry this is happening to you. It is quite upsetting. My BF also had his only negative experience in nursing college in the maternity rotation. I felt the instructor had issues with male nurses in that field. Maybe look into a program in...
