Glenna, LPN stated it so well.. "Nazi school." I knew all along this was no where near necessary for a nursing school department to be ran this way. I too my dear, had to sit out for a portion of my LPN program due to an overdue hysterectomy. When I ...

Hello all fellow nurses. I endorsed my out of state LPN license to obtain a Cal LVN license. After a long wait and several glitches with the board in Sacramento, I finally got the endorsed license in the mail. I see it is a plastic card license and n...

I had to quit a snf position for the very same reasons you have stated. And this is what I told the DON when I gave notice. I said " me and my license had a talk last night and we decided it was in our best interest to depart this facility. I thank y...

Hello all. I'm currently doing flu shot clinics and really like being out there with the public. But today I had an uncomfortable exchange with a woman who came to my table with her two children. I had a gentleman sitting in the chair next to me as I...

Well said xtxrn!

Exactly. Of course no one other than myself would be allowed to do what she posed. I should have included more of the exchange of conversation I had with her which ended with no and the reason why which was basically what Ginger's Mom and MrChicagoRN...

And so this is how I go about my vaccines. I always inform the patient that I am going to give the vaccine in the right arm unless otherwise specified (pt preference, mastectomy, dominant left hand etc) and I use those exact words "don't baby it, use...

Thanks for sharing your responses to the pneumo vac. As I suspected this vaccine certainly has presented with some substantial reactions. I gave my Mr his vaccine two days ago and wow was he in some pain. He's practically indestructable and I almost ...

Hello to all. I'm still a bit bruised and still up, not able to sleep after what just took place two days ago. I have been working as MDS coordinator for a swing bed LTAC facility and 15 minutes after state left out the door and the announcement was ...

Chin up, my dear, it is not I who has the emphysema; it is the regional Little Napoleon administrator who came and mowed some employees down. I know what I have posted sounded quite awful. And it is. The above reference I made about this person some ...

Follow up on this rodeo.. One week later, after seeing the job posting for the MDS coordinator position to replace me I then see another posting for the sister facility. This time they have 5 positions posted in the same ad. One for ADON MDS coordina...

When I was in school, I had some trouble areas in advanced pharmacology and I asked a question. Her reply (about 5 paragraphs long!) I have kept in a folder ever since. I attribute my passing that difficult class with an A because of her. I agree, I ...

Nurse 156, I hope you didn't think I was shaming the poster; I wasn't. Thanks for your words of support and your perspective is the same as mine. I was trying to convey that there should be a little solidarity on this forum to encourage new nurses wh...

No, I am not saying it would be all good to give a near fatal overdose. I implied nothing of the sort. Read again what I posted. I am not excusing the OP's actions. The reference to nitpicking comes from 8 thread pages of shaming the OP's demeanor an...

Really, come on, there isn't a single person who endorses the act of fatal med errors.. anywhere. Period.

Did anyone read my post? This whole thread sounds like a local chapter of the Nit Pickers Club.

I feel the need to interject something here. The OP stated that a terrible med error occured. Doesn't understand why unemployment insurance in all likelyhood would not be granted, had only worked 7 mo in the position and sounds as if doesn't understa...

It's going to sound very derogatory of me to say, that a lot of the corporate entities we may have to work with in the healthcare industry have simply lost all their human traits. I mean, they don't see the act of caring or providing care the way so ...

I am responding to this as I have recently posted in regards to my recent termination. I'm interested in the term "misconduct" myself because I did not commit any misconduct or a med error and was told by unemployment rep who was assisting me in fili...

Actually she should have been given more than a 1 hr notice and in writing, and in advance that they were dismissing her for not approving her to reducing her work hours to 32 per her OB doctors order.

I am currently under the duress of this kind of mess myself. I posted a few days ago (in MDS coordinator forum) about the ruthless manner in which the facility I was working for as an MDS coordinator handled and treated me last week. All this valuabl...

I am really amazed that NSO reduced their coverage and raised the annual premium for Texas. I wonder why they have done that, and didn't realize this liability insurance was so state specific.

Yes lisamunozRN it did feel like a heartbreak as bits and pieces continue to show up in my thoughts, and for the things I wasn't allowed to show them the proof of what I did properly and on time. Kind of like saying you never applied a nicotine patch...

I hope so, it does me so much good and quite therapeutic to have nurses in my corner. True solidarity and a prime example of how and why Allnurses is so fantastic.

Yeperzz. Time only goes in one direction, and forward is the direction I must go. This debacle is happening to nurses more and more these days. Nursing jobs seem to be temporary and are not posted or presented as temporary but they know how to time t...
