  4. My agency just called with a new contract at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. I think it would be a nice change of pace since I've only ever worked in LTC but doing something new is kinda scary at the same time. What does the nurse do in a f...
  5. Is this legal?

    For anyone curious, I spoke to my agency today and they had called the facility. Long story short, the facility denied anything ever happened. My agency keeps notes of all the calls so they have it all on record because the facility called them after...
  6. Is this legal?

    That's something I don't understand. If a CMA can't take a shift for a nurse why are they allowed to be on call? But yes I agree, there were many factors that made me choose to stay and that was one of them. I didn't call her to replace me though, th...
  7. Is this legal?

    Thanks for the reply. I plan on talking to the business office with whom I am employed tomorrow as the person I spoke to is just the on call person and I plan on asking my boss to call the administrator of the facility who also told me to go home. I ...
  8. Is this legal?

    Say you come to work running a temp and hacking up a lung, you're seen in the ER during your break, the doctor states you're really sick, prescribes two ATB and breathing tx's, and writes you a note to be off work for 48 hours because he doesn't want...

    I keep a clip on watch on my lanyard. I hate wearing watches and my pockets are too full already.
  12. Recliner Entrapment!

    It is considered a restraint in my state and punishable as abuse. Huge no no.
  13. I'm not going to say you can or cannot handle being a nurse because I don't know you but I want to mention that I am diagnosed with ptsd, gad, bipolar, and mdd. I am a nurse and I wouldn't have my career another way. Yes it's stressful and yes some d...
  14. Don't Know Where Else to Ask This

    I had the accessing my chart problem once. The mother in law, who can not stand me, became my doctor's nurse. She wasn't the scheduler but did have access to my medical record and would lie to my doctor about things that were not true (the worst bein...
  15. Nursing school with Child Neglect Indication?

    I may be wrong but if it's not on your record I see no issues because they won't know unless you tell them. It shouldn't be hard to contest that. DCF has to look into every case reported no matter how small or ridiculous. I see no reason why that wo...
