Hello fellow nurses, I am newly graduated in May having received my license in June. I really wanted to land an acute care job but live in an area where those are really in demand. I was offered a position at a SNF which I took because I thought some experience is better than no experience. 5 months into working and I was offered a position at a hospital that I am really excited for. As I have been training my replacement, a lot of concerns have come up. My replacement states they have been actively working as a nurse for 20 years but little things such as not knowing that there are different types of insulin’s and not knowing the difference between 325mg Tylenol and 500mg Tylenol have become a bit worrisome. As well as safety issues such as frequently leaving syringes in patients briefs. I brought this up to my unit manager and nothing was done so I spoke with the administrator as similar events continued to happen. My administrator became very hostile and called me a bad nurse for not training my replacement better. They also accused me of trying to ruin someone’s livelihood and to ruin their license. This was not my intention at all. I am at the end of my two weeks and the end of my training and just wanted to express concern for patient safety. I am now worried to be leaving on bad terms and to lose my first nursing reference. Will this have an impact on my future endeavors? Thank you so much for reading. tl;dr: dealt with hostile management over patient safety concerns, now worried about future references.
