No i got paid for time missed.

Thought about that as well. I will look but just take my time. But still going forward with school. Looking forward to it as well.

True. Thats what mom said. Lol

Thank you and i will do that. Plus, to show i am a bigger person i will find out who had to come in and cover my shift and trade a day with them.

Yes, I will get the back pay for days missed.

Update: HR called and told me that this will be treated with more education. She said my DON wants me to report to work on saturday. HR also said my supervisor will be calling me today as well. Happy to know that I have a job. Im looking at this as a opportunity to take my time to find the right jobs to apply to. Plus after talking to a close nursing friend i took steps to go back to school for my masters in nursing. I cannot thank you all enough for helping me get through this mentally horrible experience. But a huge eye opener. The next chapter with me will be a new job and continuing education.

No we dont have a union. But looking at the posts we need one. And you are correct with your advise. This is my first post and i feel so much better with the support and advise. Many heads are a lot better than one.

I did ask about the hospital protocol. Was told they have to do more investigation. Not an answer. I did not think to ask for the DON. That was my fault. I still consider myself a new nurse but to not think about asking for the DON was,again, my mistake. But i will write that down. ( im taking notes to help plead my case)

Thanks. All of this is really helping me to feel better. Still crying a little though. My supervisor has been on vaca for the past 5 days. The assistant supervisor was off. It was just HR.

Trust me in the future i will call pharmacy and whomever else. Along with who i talked to and the outcome. They want documentation to be short and to the point. When here if i get to come back or my nect employ, i will be writing novel-like information. Found some good job listings btw. If I can come back, I would be stupid to NOT look for another job asap.

Hi Ruby Vee. Thank you for feed back. I just want to clear something up. I do go to work with a smile and polite conversation. Last month on May 10th we had a county dinner for three surrounding hospitals and i was recognized as "always smiling, a pleasure to work with, and excellent bedside manner" as stated on my award. So, i dont want anyone to think i am this mean person because im not. Six months into my time at this hospital i had a night nurse fuss at me for being to happy in the morning asking me what i was so happy about this early? I was floored! So much so that it has not left my thoughts.

Thank you.

The HR person (who has never been a nurse btw) is questioning if i gave it at the time noted. Pharmacy hangs our IVs on a peg board. I explained if im not able to give an IV at a certain time I call pharmacy so it can be rescheduled. I explained that in my training/orientation (3 days total) i was not told i could not do that. Also, i have seen the other nurses do it. I know that is not an excuse, but it feels like i am being made the "example". And maybe that is true. It just hurts .

No other issues with anyone. I go to work, take care of my pts, and go home. I dont gossip nor am I chatty. I am that quiet nurse that is there to work. Already started looking for jobs and will be sending out resumes tomorrow.

Need help. I was pulled into HR concerning a patient's chart. I gave the right pt the correct antibiotic at the correct time. BUT it would not scan. I got caught up with a few other pts and two hrs later went in and manually entered the med was given and at what time. I got suspended. I have been a RN for two years, always on time, worked extra shifts and volunteered to come it at times. It seems that did not matter. My supervisor was not there nor my assistent supervisor. I told them this should be a teachable moment not suspension. Also we have problems with the COWs all the time. I feel like this was not fair. I said that I feel that i should not be fired over this. They said " we didnt say you were being fired" but they did not say i wasnt. First time being called to hr. This does not feel right to me and i need help.
