    Yep you are in for the full ride here in the Keystone State. I've never heard of an early out. I've heard of plenty of the opposite but not that. Good

    Yeah if he was doing something that offended somebody then he should have been told directly. From what I've seen nurses don't do this. They talk ceaselessly behind each others back forever and turn...

    My DON accused me of patient abandonment during a snowstorm

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    How about this for a compromise? The employer promises to drop this nonsense and give you a good reference and you promise to never darken the door of their establishment again. Seriously, you don't...

    Suggestions for bringing up probation while looking for work

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Blessed#RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think I'm in the minority but I'd tell them as soon as possible to avoid any wasted time or effort on your part. If an employer won't hire a nurse on probation why waste your

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah you work for an idiot. Unfortunately this is not unusual. Welcome to Nursing!!!! Your DON messed up and she is trying to throw you under the bus. Get a lawyer and fight back immediately...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is true!!! What I've seen from my years in nursing its not about what happens but who does it. If a nurse is a buddy of all the other nurses almost any conduct will be deemed acceptable and if...

    How serious is a verbal warning really?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to ZSimzNeuroNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a union and never have to really worry about this. When I'm sick (which is rare) I call in sick. In fact when I call in sick they aren't even allowed to ask why I'm calling off. I rarely did...

    YEP This is a very good analysis in my opinion. Every Nurse who is faced with this situation must make this decision. I say all the time that if I was 10 years younger I would have found another...

    can confused pts refuse meds?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to cwilliams032's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah if a patient is competent they can refuse meds. If they are not competent there is a way to take their decision making abilities away from them through the 302 process. If nobody is doing...

    nurse on nurse bullying

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to profdocmaher's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    YEP!!! I believe that there is nurse bullying and I've seen mean nurses rip apart a new victim in a systemic manner like a pack of wolves devouring a wayward sheep. This is organized, vicious and...
