I agree with the others who complemented you on your nursing. You sound like an excellent, caring nurse who was wrongly terminated. Perhaps you should speak with an attorney. Something definitely...

Vitals, treatments, and medications on 37 to 43 geriatric patients? I can see how it would take until 12 noon to get the 8 am meds passed! Unreasonable for one person to do!

Does trunkal lymphedema ever go away?

Do you think your care is better if they know you are a nurse?

That is crazy! I wonder if you are speaking with anyone with nursing experience! Or just a secretary or HR person. Have you explained the condition of your pediatric patients? Good luck to you. You...

No wonder that was your former hospital! Isn't working 48 hrs. without overtime pay illegal?

Thank you for sharing your feelings. You write very well. I could not read all the responses so I jumped to the end. I am concerned for you. I began to feel anxious for you. I am afraid you will burn...

I think you should count your blessings that you are done with that place! I don't know if it would help or not, but it seems you have a responsibility to report this facility as being an unsafe...

You have your BSN and you have experience so look at those as positives! As far as being almost 43 that is young! Many people go back to college when they are older than you! When I went back to...

That sounds much more reasonable. Good luck to you.

Working seven days in a row seems like it would be very difficult. Sure the seven days off would be nice, but................

In my experience being the on call RN and trying to do admissions does not work well. Admissions are very time consuming and when the on call RN is doing an admission there is really no on call...

I never liked asking patients to rate their pain because it is so subjective and I absolutely hate being asked it. I have had neck and back pain off and on since being rearended in 1977. I agree the...

One does not need to be certified to be an excellent hospice nurse. It takes hospice experience to be eligible to take the exam for certification. But they should have good clinical experience and...

In my state there are a few RN licensed massage therapists who have their own private practices. Usually they started as RNs and later got involved in the healing arts and combined nursing with...

I think the real question is what will you be doing, not the money. Thirty patients on vents with IVs and blood and trach care and assessments???? I think you need to have a better idea of the actual...

When I was a staff nurse in ICU one of my elderly patients was speaking to persons we could not see. A family member explained the persons to whom their loved one was talking had all died. My patient...

So you have a BSN and 2 and 1/2 years hospice experience. Can you tell us more about your background? I am assuming you were an RN when you went to work for this company either a AA degree or a three...

Occasionally as a Nurse Consultant / Case Manager I would get involved in insurance fraud cases where someone was attempting to blame injuries on an auto accident when injuries actually were from an...

I think you did everything in your power to prepare the son! Denial can be so strong when to others reality is so clear, but thank you for your compassion and kindness. Such a sad situation. Calling...

I just think it is very sad for you to label yourself as ' lumbarpain' or to say that no one wants you anymore! Please know that you are not alone and someone does want you. There are lots of new...

The same thing happened to City Hospital number one in St. Louis, MO. They closed this hospital and let the buildings deteriorate for years before turning part of it into beautiful and expensive...

I think the part about being frazzled by the surveyor is very believable. Nurses are human and do make mistakes. You are so new to the profession and I am wondering if your employer had given you any...

I agree. :crying2:

Reading these posts explains a lot. I feel really grateful to have graduated from a three year hospital school of nursing diploma program. The hospital was across the street from the nurses...
