    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, today was my special day! I got fired from my job for giving one (yes, one) injection wrong, and for telling some lady I wasn't trained on how to use an EpiPen. Apparently all of that deems me...

    Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Lynker replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was mostly my fault. I brought it up, saying no one was really trained and said it would be nice if there was more training on it just in case. It just sucks. I'll find a better...

    These are two separate things. I wasn’t trained on how to use the epi, but I didn’t go far enough in the muscle with the covid vaccine. Two separate things. My

    Lynker replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have no opinion honestly. I get hazard pay at my job. Although, I do agree that the countless professions should be getting some sort of compensation. They deserve it just as much as a nurse/etc if...
