I had one week of hospital orientation and then it was time to work on my floor. Guess what....I had 7 days of orientation on my floor. A total of 2 weeks since I work 12 hour shifts....and now I'm on my own. Not only am I on my own, but I feel like my assignments are toally unfair. This is a sweat shop. I found out today that a week before I started, they had a nurse work with them for 3 days before she quit.
I am supposed to get out at 730 at night. I'm lucky to get out by 9pm. Typically it is 930. Not totally my fault....one nurse in particular wants an hour report from me.
Admissions? Well, I have yet to do one yet. But when I get an admission, I will be on my own. doesn't matter what time the admission comes, even if it is 3 minutes before our shift is over...we have to do it, not the next shift (and vice versa). Another thing I don't like....this hosptial is all computerazied charting, but there isn't any way to print off the med list for our patients. yup, we have to write them out and then bring that list to the Pyxis with us. Very time consuming.
And I can't stand the pallative care nurse. she is VERY nasty to me. I won't go into detail, other than she is a nast, nasty lady.
My shoes were stolen from the locker room. My manager had an attitude of Oh well....like she does everything.
So I have been at this hospital for a month - including the 1 week of hospital orientation.

Yikes. That's a med error (or two or three or...) just waiting to happen.
