Let me start by saying I have been nurse for 5 years, the nurse I am speaking of has been once since Nov. 06. She replaced me the other evening at 2:30pm but I thought I would be nice and help with the 2 new admissions she had received. BOY I GOT SHAFTED FOR THAT ONE......Anyway one of the admits was a bit fussy, want this, want that, not oriented to time nor place. She wanted to go to bed at 2 pm. Her daughters were there and both decided it was too early for that. I had assessed her head to toe, no dyspnea, WNL VS, few scrapes and tears from IVs and such. She was a left side hemiparaesis patient. Not a biggie. She had a Gtube with feedings, IDDM, small hole where a trach "had" been but otherwise no biggie. She stated while family in room and while roommate was there as well, "I cry if I don't get what I want." She had just had a pain pill prior to admission. She stated she was SOB shortly after I left the room: mind you this is app. 2:45 (15 min after the other nurse came on). I assessed 96% RA, no labored breathing, talking (yelling) just fine. I went to hunt up the neb equiptment for her but couldn't find the nurse. GUESS WHAT SHE WAS DOING?????? She was calling the Administrater to tell the adm. I wasn't giving a pain pill, being mean and refusing a breathing treatment to the new resident. The new nurse was Actually bawling about it?~?~?~?~?~? :devil: While I was busy doing what she should have been doing I was hauled down to the Assoc. adm. office and made to call the adm. to describe what I was doing. The adm called me a liar and said I never passed any info to the other nurse. That might have been fine and dandy but this other nurse is always too busy telling you she knows the owner of the facility. I have worked there over a year now. That is what the administrator held over my head. She states she has to file an investigation against me. I am at a loss for what to do.
DEFINITELY agree with the one who suggest anoth job
she may be a nut but the fact that the ptb went along with a new nurse esp one that is not just a new employee but as nurse with a whopping two month experience should make you concern about the future
did you put your side of the story on the write-up very important that you do
look for something else, do not give verbal report if you have to report off to this winner, write everything down have her intiial and make a copy of it in front of her
i agree that she want a day shift you don't need work with someone who has singled you out
