I would have reported you too. Politics have no business at work. Period. I refuse to discuss politics with co-workers and patients. My politics are none of their business, just like their politics are none of mine.

That is beyond ridiculous! He can't sign for his own treatment until he is 18, why should a parent be denied access to his medical records?

After a very bad experience a few years ago, I post absolutely nothing on social media about my job. As far as I might go is "I had a good day." I don't even have where I work listed on my social media profile, nor do I friend any co workers on my ...

I had a supervisor try this nonsense on me when my husband had to have emergency surgery the next day. I told her "I don't think so." I would check the your employee handbook, ASAP.

Our office is part of a larger health care network. "ACME" health network policy is that any patient who has more than 2 narcotic prescriptions written for chronic pain are required to sign a controlled medication contract. Patients are subject to r...

I didn't know that any hospital in the US still did paper charting. I didn't mind the paper charting, but everything now is electronic. I think there is some definite advantages to paper charting vs electronic. Paper charting is so much easier to d...

No way can a series of clicks give you the total picture of what happens during a code, or some other situation. I have dealt with some crazy family situations that needed documented, along with crazy patients. Just being able to "click" everything...

And that is downright scary.

Not only unfriend her or him, but block them too. Immediately.

Wow. And that is what is exactly what is wrong with a big part of society today. Everyone thinks they have to be first and foremost, and to hell with everyone else. If your loved one wants to take a walk and the pt in the next room is coding, sorr...

In the 16 years I worked bedside in the hospital, the only time I contracted something from a pt was scabies. The pt had been misdiagnosed and I was exposed prior to taking isolation precautions. I was exposed to whooping cough, chicken pox, poss T...

My current pet peeve is when people add the letter "y" to words, such as cucumber-y, vinegar-y. Hate it with a passion.

Nope. The harm is to the patients who are not getting their needed medications. I worked with a nurse who was given multiple chances to get clean (because she was a pet of the DON), and she failed every time. If you know you are diverting, than ma...

A co worker's family member is a patient of our specialty practice. I know that the co worker (the doctor's nurse)has been in her family member's chart for various reasons when the pt calls and requests refills, to schedule appointments, etc. There...

I have been a nurse for 17 years. I have worked both med/surg and ICU in a CAH (critical access hospital) my whole career. For the most part, I have really enjoyed my job. The past few months though, I find myself becoming more dissatisfied with m...

I thought I would just update this thread. Four weeks after my original post, I was terminated from my job that I had mentioned in the original post. When that happened, I thought my world was over! Bedside nursing was the only thing I knew in my ...

Nurses and other healthcare members need to start filing charges against patients who assault us. It is total nonsense that healthcare workers even have to put up with this nonsense. If these patients (the ones who are A&O of course) would trea...

At my former employer, it was suppose to be every other holiday. Never worked that way though. It basically depended on how much your manager liked you. One nurse in our unit had not worked Christmas Day in 7 years. I was getting nailed every oth...

I am so glad I am out of hospital nursing. That was the kind of hostile environment I worked in for 16 years. Then through a chain of events, I found myself out of my job last year. I was able to find a job in a speciality office and I am so much ...

Well, our hospital didn't even provide us with a free meal. We were suppose to get our lunch and then attend the "lunch and learn." Don't think so.

If you are unpaid for that time, I don't see how they can make it mandatory. The last hospital I worked at was doing this "lunch and learn" crap. I refused to go. If something is mandatory, then I am going to be paid for my time. Otherwise, leave...

The hospital that I used to work at used CPSI. I hated it. Very redundant, lots of clicking, not very user friendly. The e-MAR is just a huge set up for med errors. I am so glad that I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Stay as far away from CPSI as possible! It is a horrible, stupid program. It is the most user unfriendly system I have ever had the displeasure of having to use. The hospital where I worked at purchased the CPSI system because the said it "fit" t...

I sure wouldn't be doing this without telemetry and crash cart! Sounds like a dangerous situation to me.

I have a friend who is pharmacist who worked for a large national chain. He retired a couple of years ago, and one of the reasons was because of the flu shots. He said it was because he was so busy trying to keep caught up on filling prescriptions,...
