    Testing!

    Persephone Paige posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone else had the experience of increased testing once they become employed? Prior to employment I was tested randomly, twice a month. Since becoming employed I have been tested 6 times ( 5...

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Persephone Paige replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    Meee too! Great idea about the writing it down. Once everything has been answered, ask for a copy and whip it out. "I refer you you bullet point #4." Or tape it to your

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Persephone Paige replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, man. I never heard of such a thing. If I had addressed something once, I would start asking her if she was feeling okay? Is she on drugs, drinking, what? Because no one who is caring for...

    I'm leaving my first nursing job, how do I tell my coworkers?

    Persephone Paige replied to Heartonmysleeves's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We flatter ourselves by thinking we'll be missed. I like the cookie idea, if you feel you really must take 'a parting glass.' Then, skip to my Lou outta

    I’m being investigated by the BON!

    Persephone Paige replied to guest0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It does not matter. The BONs know that it is drilled into our heads all through nursing school that documentation and witness of wasting is priority number one. And that we KNOW that not doing that is...

    Termination reported to BON?

    Persephone Paige replied to nycmoon's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ^ This It all depends on the 'why.' Calling in, etc... No. Abandoning patients, falsifying med records ( saying you did something when you didn't ), stealing drugs ( diversion ), abuse/neglect of...

    Persephone Paige replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just leave it. Of course, I did a 3 1/2 year experiment first with the hub's credit card. They never stole from him, so I felt safe leaving my meager pittance on file, now that I actually have $$....

    Probation

    Persephone Paige replied to Clenurse24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was being ugly about the various entities of 'probation.' And I apologize! We get reamed out if we are late on reports, but they've been days in calling me back on reports when I've said I had...

    Does the R in RN stand for reject?

    Persephone Paige replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You brought up a good point, Spanked. Never before have I belonged to a Union, but when I found that if I was going to make it, it wasn't going to be because my employer was supportive, I joined the...

    Worthless check and early denial

    Persephone Paige replied to Lostprenurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would keep trying. They are in the drivers seat because there are always so many applicants. The decision makers can afford to be choosy. A history just makes it easy. Get it expunged and keep...

    The 2 day late background check will probably sit somewhere unopened for 2 weeks. Sorry, I'm being

    Does the R in RN stand for reject?

    Persephone Paige replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Cats, sorry you are having this experience, I know the feeling. In my case, the R in RN might stand for reject, but I'm not listening. What a weekend I had on my first 2 shifts off of orientation....

    EEP vs TPAPN?

    Persephone Paige replied to ConfusedWhatToDoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I guess the million dollar question would be: did you divert? I don't expect you to answer the question, though. What I will say is that rarely is 'diversion' a one time event. The 'one' time for most...

    Persephone Paige replied to yournurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It's not professional, but nurses do it all the time. And some of them love doing it. You have a choice: wish the nurses would stop, or stop listening to what they say. I prefer the

    When Faith Creates False Hope

    Persephone Paige replied to kabfighter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss. James 4:3 I am a person of faith, myself. But asking God to spare my 86 year old grandmother seemed like a set up. We are meant to die. Asking God to...

    Testing!

    Persephone Paige replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree, Cats. When I got this job, I honestly believe my CM was as shocked as I was. I'd been in monitoring 3 yrs and 4 mos. I start work and that's stressful enough to go from a couch slug to wide...

    Not reporting an employer to KNAP

    Persephone Paige replied to RNGDP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In Florida, HCA is very IPN friendly. But only if you've never burned them. If you were an employee at an HCA hospital and were caught diverting, or had a positive random drug screen, they send you...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Persephone Paige replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse is sticking around. That arouses suspicion. There is known stealing of medications, yes it has been reported to the company. That's great! Has it been reported to the pharmacy, the...

    new nurse /gaslighting

    Persephone Paige replied to hopern84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only way I have found to 'fit in,' is to do my work and never engage in gossip. There are going to be 'sickies' where ever we end up. But, I try to attract what I want by being that myself. You...

    Pain patients being denied their medication!

    Persephone Paige replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Pain Management

    When I read how little you were taking hppy, I almost burst out laughing. Not at your situation of course, but the ridiculousness of getting worked up over 2 5mg Norco a day. And then, I got angry....

    Scared to death

    Persephone Paige replied to HardtimesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You haven't been charged with anything yet, you're suspected. I've known some people who have gotten another job and worked like hell to save $$. You won't be able to use this current employer as a...

    Persephone Paige replied to HardtimesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would focus mostly on what they will find in the urine, as far as being scared. An attorney will help and just don't say a word to them. Good about the suspension... at least you know they aren't...
