Thank you so kindly! Yes I stayed for 18 long years and would have stayed even longer but nope no choice. Working on reinstatement. I have a union and they told union that they did not report me to...
It was a Retirement home so diff than long term care. There was no on call physician, we had to decide on our own to transfer or not. Yes after 18 years this is the treatment I
I do think they might be “cleaning up house” as it def looks like I became a target and they were looking for ways to get me out. They even blamed me for laundry not getting done at night and...
Ok fine I do agree that I should have done all of the above but guess I didn’t feel it to be necessary when sending someone out to the hospital. Well now I know! I do agree that I should learn...
I have asked many other nurses not on here and their answers are consistent as well. And they all agree that termination was not the way to go! And most believe I was a target and unfairly...
I actually don’t care what this employer thought as throughout the history of my employment there they have displayed a very poor example of management and all the workers there would agree. They...
I also don’t agree that it’s “poor nursing skills”, it’s a lack of management support! We have had nurses speak to res families about applying to long term care and they are getting into...
I didn’t see this message till now. It definitely covers all that I am feeling. All the nurses there are struggling from not having enough staff to help. So basically it’s stressful for us all....
I did read what you sent me and in there it says something about “the employer should provide an environment that ensures the nurse can perform up to standards” . Sure I asked for an opinion but...
Anyways I have clearly come to the wrong forum. Since you have several nurses in my facility that would not start a neuro assessment when sending someone to the hospital. Some that don’t do even a...
I did the best I could with the resources I had. So no I don’t think it is a reason to terminate. Especially if I was not treated fairly! So yes it does matter that all the other nurses are not...
To the best of my ability? I had two people on the floor at the same time. I had to assess two people at the same time. There was a crowd of people hovering. I had only a dietary aid to help with...
Did you even read the scenario? Do you work at a retirement home? Do you know anything about employment law and harassment? Have you ever been a target? I suppose you make no errors and are the...
Funny since I know an RN in the hospital that gets their patients up first and back into bed before they do the neuro assessment. The issue is not how the neuro assessment is done it’s about when....
The frequent leaves of abscenses are necessary as I have anxiety and depression. No my attitude is just fine actually. No different than anyone else’s around there. Actually I am very self...
The problem I had was I don’t carry the bp monitor with me. It’s not easily accessible on every floor we only had one on the first floor. I did at least learn to grab it right away next time....
When the paramedics arrived they hesitated to take her as the laceration ended up being very tiny and she appeared her normal self, I myself questioned whether the hospital was necessary, she ended...
I guess the issue at this facility is how the staff have been trained. None of the nurses have done a neuro when sending someone off to the hospital. Nobody has ever been disciplined for it until...
I have anxiety and depression and took stress leave more than once with the constant torment they inflicted on me! Guess they didn’t want to keep paying for my leaves so made this
