Unfortunately, you will experience this many times and you do need a break! Go to your doctor and describe what you are feeling and get some time off. Or just slow down working. Med-surg/onc is a very heavy area, I do work on a surgical floor and it ...

Hello everyone, I work with someone who is been treating me like "stupid" for a few months now when she is charge nurse and no other RN is on the floor (I work nights, sometimes is just her and me on the floor and 2 other LPNs). Whenever I go to repo...

actually there are 7 or even 8 rights right now! and I know them very well! Honestly I am thinking to give up nursing right now, that's all I can think of!!! I love being at the bedside but ... I don't think I can manage 7 surgical patients in this ...

it doesn't really matter, I posted my experience and life somewhere before this, I am not going to do it again for the sake of ...what? performing a "necropsy" of my professional life!

what do you think? Did I try to hide the med error from the letter?? that's very funny! would you do it? oooo, sorry, you wouldn't done the stupid mistake in the first place! Unfortunately I am not a perfect nurse, I am actually a mess now, that's wh...

actually I got the constructive points with what to do in the future, what bothers me is the "you shouldn't have done it and you should have done it" and "what king of nurse are you to do or not to do" part. As I said I am not here because I want to ...

actually I acknowledge the gravity, believe it or not. But it wasn't her business to give me that treatment! All she should have said was: you made a med error, I found it, you should have told me about this, I called the doctor and I will have to in...

I am really sorry, my apologies, I thought my English is "defective" but I got it, she was talking about my username! I am so sorry! I cannot take anymore criticism from anyone, I've had quite enough.

thank you, I saw it like criticism, not like suggestion, yes, I am getting defensive more and more, probably because I am having mood changes! As I said, just trying to cope with the mess! Not easy, believe me! and back again, I asked for something a...

go back to the clinic and stay casual in hospital! In this way you will have both! I used to work in long term care and now I am in hospital, I miss the long term care, I felt I was making a difference in some people's life. I am planning on going b...

I would look for Anti emetics PRN (gravol, zofran, maxeran) because she probably has something in her file!

Thank you, I am not using my real name!

I think you missed the part where I said I worked 11 years overseas before I moved here! After I got my license here, I worked a few years in long term care where I was charge nurse but that's a different story! However, it doesn't matter, I am getti...

when I said second break I tried to say second opportunity, there is one break for each of us, how do you take the breaks in your unit? in my unit half of the nurses go at one time and the other half goes when whoever was in break comes back. And my ...

I am very tired of all of these, believe me, I can give you the letter seen by my union who decided is abuse, not me, but I cannot, it is confidential. So, in the meantime, that's all I can say! I am going back to work next week when I work with ver...

I got your sarcasm....however for your information, she is very happy when she is charge nurse and looks upset/frustrated when she is on the floor. When she was on orientation for charge one night they asked her to be at the bedside instead and she s...

I can put you in touch with that charge nurse to hear her side if you want! She might be already somewhere here, giving inputs!! I am getting sarcastic, sorry, just trying to deal with the situation!!

well this is a similar situation except the charge doesn't have any assignment and we are just 2 RNs (me and her) on the floor at night (and two LPNs). Probably this will be the result after the meeting (she won't be allowed to be charge nurse anymor...

well, I was trained in a different country where abuse is every where, you grow up with abuse and you end up by being shy and avoid conflicts because you are afraid of troubles. I immigrated here 10 years ago and I did a few courses I was asked for b...

in my case, charge nurse doesn't have assignment!

Jena5111, I love your advice! I am expecting a meeting with my manager now and ... however I will ask (in front of this charge nurse) if I am allowed to do all of this and not to have her get upset if I do it! If my manager says yes in front of her, ...

anyway, I have just had the meeting with my union. From my 5-page letter their conclusion is harassment! Now we'll see ... however it looks like my topic interested more nurses that I thought it would!

yes,Nurse Lengh, I am new to this floor and I do not have access to doctors' phone numbers! Everyone goes to the charge nurse and she is the one calling the doctors at list in this unit.
