No, you can't be a RN right now. You need to concentrate on your health first. Pls see a good neuro. I also agree with the above to stop driving before you kill yourself or someone else. I'll be...

She did give them enough notice to get the day off and it's shameful they didn't just comply. I wouldn't submit a thing and I wouldn't have shared you had a court date either but consider that a...

What they are suggesting is illegal. You are to be paid for all the time you work. If they don't you call the Dept of Labor and report them. It is taken seriously by them. Don't let them get away...

The doctor clearly forgot their earlier conversation and I'm really sorry to read that. Shame that her private info wasn't kept that way. I do always tell people if you want to keep your private...

Typically when terminated your employment ends immediately. There is no notice. Employees often give notice to their employer and not the other way around. Scummy as the situation is with the...

Be very careful that in your quest to provide good customer service you don't provide bad patient care. That can and does happen. The customer isn't always right when they are the patient and you...

They made a written offer of $32 and that's what he signed. That's now the written and binding contract.

I'd put it at a 10/10. It sounds like in your case the person should have failed. If they put people through that struggle that defeats the whole purpose.

Yes, she was wrong. It is an offense that is serious enough that it could lead to a firing. Did it have to? Not necessarily. They could have written her up or suspended her. I would like to know how...

Excellent news. Now let's hope more justice is to follow and the doc and county prosecutor gets their asses handed to them as well. I feel for these nurses and think of them often. I pray both...

Your instructor is dead wrong here. If they say no and you proceed to touch them that is legal battery. They could press charges. You educate, document refusal, and move on. On a side note you...

It pretty much sums up all the is wrong with our system in so many hospitals. They wouldn't have gotten the milkshake in mine. The surgeons would have said they can sign out AMA and have their...

I'm really sorry. What did they actually fire you for? Did you have any disciplinary action against you in the past? Did they put your dismissal in writing and give cause for the firing?

Just to echo so many others in this thread pls let the woman hold her husband. The man is dying. Let her enjoy the end of his life as much as she can. Let her be in peace and find some closure. She...

Call your surgeon RIGHT NOW. Always listen to your instincts. It does sound like an infection and you would know. Pls give them a ring and see what they say. You can deal with the bad stay at a later...

As far as the taping goes get Risk Management/Legal Dept involved ASAP. They need to be notified immediately. Thhey will advise you how to prceed or take over. Thy are looking to sue down the line....

I just noticed this was a first post. Could be a hit and run posting. lol

I applaud your employer for taking quick and appropriate action against you. You deserved to be fired. I hope you learned a good lesson here and never do this again.

He' a keeper. What a little sweetie. And kudos to you for being a wonderful father whose son clearly thinks the world of him.

It's true that it is all about boundaries. It can be hard to set them early in your career but it is imperative that you learn to do it. It's not mean to tell them you have other patients to care...

Insanity.

No, you shouldn't use this woman as a reference again. She told you not to so there's your answer. Listen to her. Perhaps another supervisor would be willing to give you a written recommendation....

Good. I hope they do get jail time. Their greed cost patients their lives.

Start filling out incident reports for every single infraction. You need to have a paper trail here because they will ignore it as long as they can when still on a verbal level. Paperowrk puts them...

I truly think you've expressed how most LPNs and RNS really feel about each other. We all have our place and we are all NURSES. Sad that some turn on their own.
