   I own my mistakes. I learn and try to make it 100% better. Trust me this will never ever be an issue for me again. When I wrote this I was just wanting advice on how I could show interviewers that I have learned from my mistakes and want to prove it...

   This is exactly the case with this facility. However, we did not have a snack between breakfast and lunch. I went against the rules and let the co-worker give him his breakfast so there was no need to call the dr for an order because he had eaten. An...

   Thank you for your response. I feel that I need to clarify the reason that incontinence with this pt was an issue because with other patients at that facility is was not. I'm not sure if any of you have ever worked with a conversion pt? These pts typ...

   Yes the only units that were not done like this was the acute and the autistic units. An never with the eating disorder pts. I always made sure the Drs knew when a patient missed a meal and why.

   I read somewhere on here that saying it wasn't a good fit might lead into questioning how it wasn't a good fit. What if they call the facility and they tell them what happened? Then I won't get the job due to being a liar. What a tangled web I've wea...

   Thank you for your response. Yes cursing is not acceptable in any professional setting, healthcare or not and I can admit this. However, its a very common occurance. I've heard so much fly at the nurses station. I am working hard at changing my bad h...

   Never! It just occasionally happens when I'm really frustrated or extremely stressed. I'm really trying to stop but it has been hard.

    I put that facility on my applications and resume to show I have some expierence. Where it asks why I left I put personal reasons. I only tell them if they ask about it. The reason I put it on there at all (I did consider removing it) was just in cas...

    sle9403RN replied to alreinsch's topic in Medications

    Yes it is technically recapping. However insulin pen needles are once and done. They lock after they are pulled out the skin so they are considered safety needles so they are safe. We taught the kids are my facility to put the caps back on to be on t...
