always military time.... less chance of errors and no questions about what timea med was given.

:yeah::yeah:wishing you the very best!

I would call the nursing supervisor and tell her that no way can you accept another shift! You need to leave now and not later. Forget explaining it to the staffing recruiters they don't get nursing. Good luck !! Don't let them pressure you into ano...

Sounds like you really need to leave this position! If you are so afraid of losing your licenses and things are that bad, leave and leave NOW!! It must tell you someting about this PCG if only one nurse will accept the client. Doing 12hrs 6 days a we...

just tell her to give proper notice and don't burn her bridges so she can get a good recommendation from them. they probably already know why she is leaving and reminding them of how bad it is there is not going to do any good. make sure to thank the...

with out going into details, i was terminated from my position as a pdn yesterday due to a very stupid and dumb thing on my part. at first i was very upset, but now i am still upset but feeling better, i was getting so burned out after 5 yrs of nursi...

the glucometer should have the dates and times of last accu-checks. also pharmacy would have a report of meds that were pulled, sent for said pt.

wow!!! 32 hours is very long time for any patient not to get meds. so i am wondering if there was some kinda error in the system or there was more than 1 nurse that signed off, charted, etc on the records that didn't give the meds either. within 32 h...

ok, i have already posted this in the pdn forum, but might get better results here. yesterday i was terminated from my position as a pdn due to a very unprofessional thing i did. i signed and faxed in my time sheet and nurses notes( all on the same f...

it can be slow when taking care of an infant. usually i would spend time making up bottles of nursery water for the formula to be added. i kept the nursery stocked with plenty of diapers, wipes, etc. i always made sure the diaper back was ready to go...

so sorry you are going through all this mess. try to hang in there, disability takes a while and most people give up before they actually see any results. just having to see so many diffirent doc's doesn't help either, been there and one doesn't want...

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeatdenise ,i am so sorry to hear the awful news. please take your husbands advice and take time off to relax, regroup and relieve some stress. you have worked so hard the last year. you will pass on the next try! ...

i was able to cancel mine the day after i signed it. i read the very back of the contract and did exactly as it said. ( the tiny print that is so hard to read)i also faxed them a copy of everything, made copies of all paperwork involved. i called an...

:d way before i became a nurse i was a chef in the us navy for 12 years, then worked as a pastry chef for a couple of years at a very up-scale grocery chain. but soon left and realized that it was partly because of depression back then too. i just di...

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeathoping by tomorrow am you will see rn instead of gn. take a long warm/hot bubble bath, listen to calming music and relax! as hard as that my be.

you know that this crazy illness can even bring down the most capable nurse. i am just happy to hear that you have recognized you are starting to slip again and are able to do something about it. even the best support things, people or groups don't a...

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeatso sorry that this happened to you. maybe you needed the break to let the meds work. some people just don't understand any type of mental disorders at all. i know it is hard to be terminated, but maybe it happened for th...

a mixture of desitin and malox for diaper rash, poison ivy rash, rashes from bug bites etc, etc, or to put around gt stomas. learned this from the ped's doc. the malox neutralizes the acid and the desitin forms a barrier.

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeattry and relax, get your mind off the number of questions. you did this, all the hard work and effort will pay off when you check the bon and see rn!

you can do it!! waiting to see rn after you name very soon!

yep, one of the reasons i am not wanting to return to pt care. i know i can do a good job, yet my heart and mental status say other wise!

i find it much easier to deal with when i can come here where some do understand what we are going through. once in a while you come across someone that gives great tips on how to deal with this stuff. but at the same time you still get the one or tw...

have been doing alot of soul searching and am really not so sure i want to return to taking care of demanding pts, insensative managers, demanding family members. this of course is not understandable to many of my supports. they can't seem to underst...

today hasn't been very good, slept most of the day cause i was tired and irritable. my neck and shoulder have been bothering me for the past 2 days and nothing seems to help. don't think the welbutrin is helping either or it could just be one of tho...
