  1. Abandonment

    This wouldn't be abandonment in NJ as you never accepted assignment and took report. I believe the same will hold true for you. Did you put anything in writing stating why you were declining the...
  2. Confrontation with a Visitor

    I wondered the same thing myself. I think OP was smart to make his DON aware of the situation in the event the patient's family does complain. I would only comment based on what I personally witnessed...
  3. Ethical Dilemma

    She's a huge danger to the patients. Report her to the BON first thing tomorrow morning before more patients pay the
  4. Confused, Mad and Frustrated

    I'm really proud of you. You see this job is usuing you and it's a dead end. Time to move on and you are. Now use this job like they've used you. All it is for now is a means to an end. Use it to pay...
  5. I'm so sorry. I hope you don't lose your current job. Is this something you can appeal?! If yes, I would. Let your current job know you have a lawyer and are fighting this. By all accounts it sounds...
  6. East Coast Going from 12 to Eight hour shifts?

    Were still 12s and I don't see it changing
  7. Please pray for a friends granddaughter!

    It's not very often that you are happy a child dies but I was in this situation. That was no life for her. Now she's at peace and in heaven like the little angel she is. God bless her. Such a sad...
  8. Pt.'s partner asked to have intercourse with a stoma !

  9. Pt.'s partner asked to have intercourse with a stoma !

    That's horrible. What a terrible way to teach you. She should have made you aware that non-medical people facing this condition might have questions in regards to their sex life and how you should...
  10. I believe it's state law that you can't be required to work over 16 hours and that holds true for nurses as well. Check it out ASAP. If this even becomes par for the course I'd be looking for a new...
  11. LPN taking home meds

    I'd go the BON route as well and let them investigate the situation. My guess is you could make that report without giving your name. They will understand the severity of the situation and how it...
  12. Male Foley...Wife Watching!!

    I disagree. This is about patient comfort not that of the nurse. As long as the spouse wasn't being disruptive they should be allowed to stay if the patient wishes they do
  13. Male Foley...Wife Watching!!

    As long as the patient is okay with it it's all good. Sometimes the patients want someone there for something intimate and sometimes they don't. Most of the time they hold their hand and it makes them...
  14. Please pray for a friends granddaughter!

    I am so happy that the little baby doll is in heaven and out of pain. I'm so sorry for your loss and that of your beloved friends. They will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless them...
  15. Please pray for a friends granddaughter!

    Nicely stated. Prayers and hugs to
  16. This nurse is an unlucky patient!

    I'd be ticked not so much about the false positive but the way it was handled. There was no need for the first nasty accusation. That in and of itself was bad enough but to then ask where you got the...
  17. Every Nurse Should Give Birth

    Unfortunately this is becoming an all too common problem. Some docs are so afraid they will get in trouble for giving too much pain meds they are giving painfully low amounts instead and patients are...
  18. Do nurses make the worse family members or patients ?

    Agreed. Talk about inappropriate nitpicking. Yeesh. And I don't like threatening bullies either which is exactly what this instructor was. Wearing protective gear was completely appropriate here and...
  19. Off going nurse who had been with the patient over the last 12 hours should have given report. This is a no brainer and there should have been no issue here. I would never even dream of dumping the...
  20. Home Health Aide accusing me of not giving meds

    You have had ongoing problems with this job. I would leave before these aides cost you your license because it's clear they aren't going to stop until you are out of there regardless of what you do...
  21. Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

    I hope it has been killed because I'm not in favor of it. I voted Obama and would be very disappointed if he went this route. It doesn't seem like an avenue he would go
  22. Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

    No
  23. Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

    No decision has been made as of yet in regards to this plan. Here are some articles:...
  24. Army vet billed $3,000 for war wounds

    God bless the Senator for stepping in and resolving this issue but it should never even come to that.
  25. I'm very sensitive and have had a hard time in the past letting things roll off my back as well, but I've gotten better about it. If anyone is abusive whether it be a co-worker, doctor, patient or...
