QUESTION: If you graduate with your ASN in 2023, how is it you have appended ASN after your site handle already?

Darn! You said it before me! My hospital pays higher for years of service in situations like this.?

My paramedic exam was two days as well 40 years ago.

Thanx for the support!

You answered your own question- you love nursing. Become a nurse!.

Here goes, Rin. You have not posted anything as to your background, certs, length of experience, types of experience, etc, basically no bio to give an idea of who you are. You were a new grad nurse, got fired, and then rehired into another ICU within 2 months? Does your experience/resume support working in an ICU? And given that you're an introvert and don't seem to really bond with your fellow nurses and don't like strangers, why did you choose nursing? And the way you write, no offense intended, seems that English might not be your first language, so are there any cultural issues here? Perhaps a remote nursing job, or a different field, might be apropos.

No sweat, piece of cake.

OK, you're a bit sporifice on details. The DON from your previous facility is investigating you and possibly 20 other nurses? How were you notified? By the state nursing board, Dept of Health, law firm, etc.? First off, do not give any further statements. If you haven't given a statement, don't. Get an attorney and liability insurance if you don't already have one. NSO provides insurance that pays IMMEDIATELY, not reimbursement. Be smart and stay quiet. And was there any allegation of patient harm from this situation? What is their proof?

No, it's 18. ?

ADMINS, Time to shut this one down!

Pulling a bag of fentanyl, not starting it, or documenting it? Umm, this is not smart. You need to rethink yourself. This screams of a possible diversion.

A rose by any other name.

This sounds nice, but there is an underlying and pernicious issue; complacency affecting patient care perhaps due to resentment of the "BSN RN". Ignoring problems in the workplace leads to exacerbation with the potential for escalation of untoward behavior.

RTW incorporates EAW. My offer letters have used RTW in their language where they articulate termination or my resignation.

If you are in a right-to-work state, yes. However, have you talked to HR? And if no one gets certified, or only a few do, it would be suicide for them to fire anyone.

I still don't understand why you feel this way because you are being addressed by who and what you are, a nurse. However, why not tell all of your patients not to call you "nurse" but by your first name only?

There are many expressions, such as "stay in your own lane", etc. By going to an LTC, you "swerved out of your lane". The LPNs apparently resent RNs in "their lane". You are an invader. I personally don't understand why someone would stay a LPN in these days and times. I know that LPNs have typically run LTCs/SNFs, staffed doctor's offices, etc. in the past, but I'm seeing more and more job offers for RNs for those positions. It is probably a matter of time before the death knell sounds for LPNs.

Those that actually have no social life vice those who say they don't, are usually the student who's working full-time or part-time, is a single parent, etc. From what I read, you have no homework or papers to write? You have it very easy. Enjoy!

Yes, I have thoughts on this, and the first one is, are you really serious? You are a nurse! Why would bring called, what you worked hard to achieve, bother you? Do you not like being a nurse?

You should have asked the Supervisor her critical thinking on why she thought to NOT call the provider and then made the judgement on what to do. As an RN, as previously stated, an LPN CANNOT clinically supervise you.

Something stinks here. From what you've said, I can't see that you did anything wrong, and EVEN if you did, a 3 week suspension? What was the nursing standard/practice that you neglected and what was the injury, if any? The guy that recorded you, was he "connected" to any of the higher ups? I hope you filed a complaint and have applied for a job elsewhere.

Mike, I am a "concrete learner" and have been in the medical field for a long time, so I like things "quick, fast, and in a hurry" like Major Payne, LOL! I go both study books (quite slim!) and passed both TCRN and CEN, no sweat. Don't do study groups, seminars, Youtube lectures, etc. Good luck!

Couldn't agree more. My choice is fresh Trauma coming in the door where the alert has been called and the "symphony" begins. Al, BSN, RN-BC, EMT-P, TCRN, CEN

Suspended for 3 weeks? You didn't mention whether or not you sat down with your Nurse Manager/Director, HR, etc. Depending on the state your in , recording without consent is illegal. It sounds like there's more here than meets the eye with the paucity of details.

With the current, and past, environment, there is no legitimate reason to get an LPN. The majority of hospitals require RN and a BSN. Getting an LPN and then bridging to RN is a waste of time for the most part. You can get an RN in 16 months, so why do "double time" with LPN then RN? Disabilities? Physical, mental???? No matter which tack you pursue, these will matter most once you finish school and pass NCLEX. One of my classmates was a high-functioning autistic and knew bedside nursing was not for her. Go RN at a school with a high NCLEX pass rate and a fast track for RN.
