You did nothing wrong and handled it well. Please don't spend one more beating yourself up. Make management aware ASAP.

Horrible. The only good thing about it is that they are upfront about it so patients can decide if this is right for them or not. I find it controlling, sad, and horrendous. I hope these women have...

You want the staff to medicate for the patient's comfort not your own. Many families do this and it is wrong. It should have been explained to your brother that they were treating the patient's needs...

TY for all the excellent info. Very informative and helpful. As someone interested in this field I am so grateful for the breakdown of all you do.

I feel not one drop of sympathy for them. They knew what they were doing was wrong and did it anyway. They deserved to be fired.

That's not even minimum wage which is illegal. Ask them to put it in wirting and then report them to the labor board. They will never put it in writing because they know this is something they...

If you work through your lunch by law you are to be paid. If they aren't paying you don't think they don't know they should be. They will take advantage until you put your foot down. Tell them they...

My thoughts exactly.

Burns. God bless the burn nurses. I could never do it.

A LPN is a Licensed Professional Nurse and anyone who doesn't understand and respect that isn't worth your time. You are 100% a nurse. They're ignorant.

Say NO. You don't risk yur current job and they should understand that. I've never let them contact my current employer. If they don't it's not the place for you and move on. Good luck.

NEVER start a new relationship before ending the old one. Either get marital counseling and try to make it work OR get a divorce. Do the right thing here. The chances of a relationship lasting that...

You're a sweetheart. I truly believe he knew you were there and he was greatly comforted by your kindness and compassion. Hugs.

I've politely told visitors it would be in the patient's best interest if they visited another day when they were feeling better. Don't come hacking up a lung when a patient is so vulnerable....

I wouldn' take any job without pay rate, benefits, start date, shift, etc. in writing.

You should all be paid that hour. You should be paid for every minute you work. Also, for legal purposes you need to be documented as on the clock in the event of a lawsuit or worker's compensation...

The ley to your decision should be how many patients you will have under this system. If it is 3 it's fantasic but more than that I'd be leery.

My friend's daugher had it and called the school. They said it's so common now they don't even send the letter anymore. My friend was pretty freaked out. We're clean freaks. Blow drying hair seems to...

I LOVE this idea.

Consider it a lesson learned. You now know not to take a verbal order anymore. We aren't allowed to at my facility due to issues like the one you just had. Best to cover yourself at all times. Don't...

Go back to the nurse manager if this is continuing. Let her know you aren't comfortable not getting a proper report and it puts the patients, your license, and the hospital at risk if imperative info...

If they are allowed to disappear the whole day and aren't held accountable for it they will continue to do it. They should have been written up. They would have been fired where I work. It's...

You crack me up. lol Great advice already given...you are a nurse not a male nurse, be neat and clean, DON'T lift more than you should, etc. Let us know what you decide.

I'd prefer it all to have been dropped as well. It never should have even gotten this far and if there was no corruption involved it wouldn't have. These nurses did nothing wrong and they are paying...

They list numbers to call the insurer and WC company. I think we need to flood both with calls and get family and friends to help out as well. She deserves our help.
