   They did view me as confrontation and as HouTx mentioned, it could have been the fact that I am male, and I am a rather large male and I could see how that could make things a little different in how I should approach things, making need to be more g...

   Yes, my managers sided with me on the out of scope of practice, but did still choose the preceptor over me and it makes perfect sense, they've invested a lot of time, money and energy into them more than me and human nature tends to value the those o...

   I do hear you. I think it would suck for someone to be written up for not giving a medication that was not available as long as they took the steps necessary to obtain that medication from pharmacy, such as in EPIC you can send high priority for medi...

   Thank you. As mentioned way early in the posts, I originally didn't want to talk about the out of scope part since it was dealt with under where I worked, and managers said it was out of scope (at least at this hospital), and not okay to take from ot...

   The wonders of PIXIS allows those kinds of meds to be given without under someones elses names in emergencies. :) And a verbal order is still an order :) Also, hadn't had problems with other nurses. I was a PCA myself also, not a problem there either...

   There is the 5 rights in medication administration to. You wouldn't be able to go through the 5 rights if the names do not match. Completely unacceptable. And as mentioned previously, the hospital has rules against it, and in this case, managers agre...

   In this case, yes, my preceptor would have a corrective action as they saw fit (whatever that may be), but retained her job. I was still within my 90 days, and they had overstaffed making it easier to let me go.

   I reported it to managers. They were taking care of the issue. It is illegal yes. My apologizes for mislabeling it. That act they did made it extremely difficult to trust them, since it should be common sense to NOT do that.

   The preceptor delegated medication administration to a PCA, and also used medication from a different patient on their current patient, also it was not prescribed yet either. So Yes, I am CERTAIN the preceptor went outside her scope.

    In this case, that part isn't in question. Without going into detail about it, everyone agreed that it was out of scope of practice including managers.

    Also, to be fair for my learning process, it happened yesterday, so please give me a little of a break while I am trying to shift through all of this and learn from it.

    I feel that my problems came from a lot of miscommunication, and that is the main thing that I am taking from this. I needed to learn how to better approach the individual, and when to get my boss involved rather than having my pride in the way to ge...

    The manager let me go for being confrontational with my preceptor, and for the fore mentioned not checking the pt enough/overly checking the pt balance issues, and the O2 mentioned above, and also confiding in someone about my preceptor and trying to...

    Hi So I am a new nurse and I was fired from my first job after a month. My preceptor and I didn't get a long and as much as I tried to figure out ways, we clashed a lot. I didn't want to get my manager involved just yet, but by the time I felt it was...
