Fantastic job with both the patient and a ego maniacal narcissistic resident. Only wish you the best in holding up your sense of self and develop a true feeling of pride. I wish I worked with you. Marc

get on the phone and call 911 your clearly over your head

could you imagine a physician doing this to another MD who cursed? And they wonder about why there is problems in nursing.

can you imagine if physicians did this kind of petty behaviors - maybe we should take along look and learn from them about professional relations

I dont see why your so dismayed it was a violation and totally inappropriate as well as needing severe repercussions for such a vile and thoughtless act on the parts of the guilty.... think think think

"I could tell, the only one that disagreed with what was going on" check out the possibility of transfer otherwise resign-I am all for change but this sounds not a good situation to be in.

As scary as facing new situations you are not alone - very proud of you and seeing the miracle of recovery and the promises of sobriety occur before our very eyes - doing things that no man thought would be possible - even with the mullet gone LOL ...

I admire your struggle and persistence in this situation and know the old sage saying that says "This too shall pass" I noticed that you said you were getting letters of reference - check with your legal counsel but I would be very hesitant about a...

Be thankful you only got terminated and were not reported to the BON, had criminal charges pressed or had a lawsuit brought against you.
