Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?
Because receipts are full of BPA. This would explain why they wear them, and why their employer wouldn't want them to tell the customers: BPA In Receipts | BPA Health Risk - Consumer Reports News

Outrageous Complaints
Circa 2009 I did this routinely, without being asked. It seemed easier than coping with them breaking into my sharps box and shoving the used vials up their rectum...then the xrays...then the removal of the sharps box...then the Safety Event Report...then all your other patients are mad because their dilaudid is late... The opioid crisis is real, y'all.

Called the Compliance Hotline...did I overreact?
Of course you're all right about how bad this workplace is. But I've had a stalker for 5 years who has terrorized me from state to state and caused gaps in my employment history, so I felt lucky to get any job where I could use my MSN at all. I'll be persona non grata from now on with the C-suite, but they can't outright fire me for reporting, and hopefully I can hang in there until a transfer opens up. Thanks for confirming that I didn't totally overreact under the circumstances; it's 20 months of false documentation and I can't let it look like I covered it up. What's sad is that all the nurses knew the problem existed, but they don't have the power to speak up. smh

Called the Compliance Hotline...did I overreact?
A few months ago I started my first informatics job at a small community hospital. Over the past few weeks I realized that several of the LPNs were labeled as RNs in our EMR, so I asked my Regional CI from corporate HQ to help me fix the error when she visited my facility. She shared my alarm that this had been allowed to go on for over a year, as it is a clear violation of every state's BON rules and regs. The truth is, I have found numerous causes for alarm on this job, and I have repeatedly been silenced when I voiced concern. So this time I didn't bother going to my CNO, who just responds by yelling at/blaming me, I called the corporate compliance hotline and crossed my fingers that it would bring some oversight to our lax operations.
