3. I got fed up!

   orlycst replied to orlycst's topic in General Nursing

   And so, that's why I didn't clock in nor did I take report and told them, NO, I'm not taking 9 patients without even having a charge nurse, but anyhow, it's all behind. I was worry about patient abandonment, but I hadn't taken any report or clocked i...

   The staff there is beat up all times and yet they believe it's OK. I heard they "made" one of the dayshift nurse stays; however, I believe that and good leader would have stayed and take all those patients. I didn't clock in nor did I take any report...

   I live in Fl. There isn't a regulation here as far as I know. Now, think about the true nursing care you offer when you have 9 patients. In reality you could take as many as you want, but as the number goes up the patient care quality goes down. Corp...

   That's exaclty the way I feel, so that's why I did what I did. Now looking back after few hours, I have no regrets... I didn't take any report nor I had clocked in, so my license over their profit like you say.

   LOL...yeah! I'm a dude....but still, I don't feel regreats.... I still think it was an unsafe assigment and because I didn't clock in or took report, still don't see the problem.

   orlycst replied to orlycst's topic in General Nursing

   I know it, but the questions is: do I want to be hired by this company? How far can you go to protect your license and the patients. I had only two avenues: 1) clock in take report and good luck! OR 2) quit! Why is this happening on this company? I ...

    Enough is enough! I felt bad for what I did, but I didn't feel safe taken care of 9 patients, if you know what I mean...thanks

11. I got fed up!

    orlycst replied to orlycst's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I hated doing that but I don't think is safe for patient's or my license. This is a place that can't keep and nurse on staff ever... I was only part time and, again, they've been trying to cut off the budget so nurses are being affected as we...

    Hello there fellow RNs, LPNs, etc: tonight I showed up for work as schedule. When I got there I looked at assigment board and realized I had 9 patient's to take care off, no Charge Nurse, and a floor secretary that makes huge mistakes constantly. Bef...
