Thank you for all your support, encouragement and opinions. I guess I'll go somewhere so that I can be stoned to death. I'm such a terrible nurse! Who is willing to throw the first stone?

Congrats!!!

The interview went lovely. They were very impressed with my experience and my overall personality. The pros: working in womens health with possibility to cross train. Cons- part-time only, possibly...

It happens. You recognized your mistake, I'm sure someone noticed and hopefully got clarification to start it. Aw, the joys of nursing!

Aw, thanks ! I'm praying!

Once again, I take full responsibility and do not make excuses. I don't think they are out to get me at all. I'm moving on and that is all that matters. I'm at peace with my decision.

I'm not on orientation. In LTC you get 2 days of floor orientation if that. I'm still in my probation period Getting fired right now would only be a blessing.

When did I ever blame the facility for my mistake? I have stated several times that I take full responsibility and do not make excuses. The DON praised me for my honesty. Ironic, I know!

Yesterday I put in my two week notice to go PRN. I have had it with this place. I get written up for false documentation, however they are calling nurses in to come in to falsify records because the...

I'm a job hopper as well. I'm ashamed to admit it. My first 2 years as a nurse was stable I had two jobs in two years which I stayed at both a year each. Then I started nursing school again and that...

Take it. I'm in LTC and miserable. I'm not quitting but I am reducing my hours by going from full time to PRN. I don't have another full time job lined up right now so I'm relying on faith that I...

All of those answers were absurd except the one about the cruise. I love to go on cruise and I often book them months in advance, so if a cruise is coming up then I do mention it on the interview......

Nothing is wrong with you. UTI is common in the elderly. I've heard many docs say that probably over half the residents in a LTC will come back positive for a uti because of colonization. The elderly...

I do feel that I'm a safe nurse. I've been in nursing for over 5 years and this job was the first job I've rec'd write ups. This facility does not believe in verbal warnings. Write up at this...

Congrats!!!

It may be difficult but I believe anything is possible. I have ADN and will be interviewing for a PP position next week as a new grad.

i'm so excited! i graduated as a rn in december and have been applying for jobs since november, after several weeks of applying online and following up i've finally landed an interview! the icing on...

I know what you mean. I did Pediatric home health. I loved the idea of home health nursing but I was more like a babysitter. I would spend 12 hours during the shift talking to the children and...

I'm having a hard time understanding. It seems as though you did the right thing. You assessed, intervened and so on. What am I missing?

Just learned a new strategy today. I now ask who the nurse recruiter is so that I can forward my cover letter to him/her. So far it has worked. Once I get the name I call back to get directly...

Thank you for your reply. This is so true. Some nurses make up weights, fingersticks, vitals signs and so on. I've seen it with my own eyes. I know not every treatment is being done. At my facility...

Unfortunately, I'm not a troll. I'm just a RN who really needs to get her act together.

For all 5 write ups, I never received a verbal warning.

I always appreciate your comments. I know for fact that I'm in the right career. I have no doubt about it. There are times when I wish I wasn't a nurse but then I remember the reason I chose nursing....

I don't think I have monkey's on my back. I just think I need to step out on faith and consider a different area of nursing. Honestly, I've been fired from one job... unrelated to patient care and...
