  1. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    lucinda1518 replied to HM7380's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with Sunny. Do go to your supervisor or HR. Tell them what is going on. This nurse may very well have a reputation for this kind of behavior, and they are just waiting to get the goods on...

    lucinda1518 replied to CYoungLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "Borrowing" medications is not an accepted standard of practice. It is also considered misappropriation and reportable to the state. A nurse at my facility did this, and state did catch it, and we...

    Activity director was overheard by staff talking to several residents "I gave up a $60,000 a year job last week to stay with you guys because you are my friends! State is coming soon, I hope you...

    I really don't want to terminate her, just want her to do her job, listen to direction, abide by state and facility regulations, and STOP getting the residents all riled up....she just likes to keep...

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    She has been receiving ongoing counseling for awhile now. This is not the first inappropriate thing she has said, she has caused a lot of hard feelings by telling the residents things about staff and...

    lucinda1518 posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. Tuition Reimbursement

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in General Nursing

  12. Tuition Reimbursement

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I turned in my resignation letter, a couple of days ago; and taking your advice, I told them in three pages exactly why I was leaving. I apologized for not giving notice, but under the...

  15. Legal implications?

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You are right. I guess I hadn't thought about the "at will" employment policy. I have just never left any job where they haven't offered me a joby anytime I wanted to return, and have never burned...

  16. Legal implications?

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    lucinda1518 replied to spejsa's topic in General Nursing

    How long has it been since you worked at the VA? I work at the VA in D.M., my husband has accepted a transfer to the Fayetteville area. Does the VA there have much turnover? Positions in D.M. are...

    lucinda1518 replied to lucinda1518's topic in General Nursing
