    Termination is so bad - will I be able to go on in nursing?

    xoemmylouox replied to a.w123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You'll be fine. Start searching for another job now. We all make mistakes, but in the future NEVER use any sort of substance that does not have a label. I also don't use items other nurses draw up and...

    Passing the buck.

    xoemmylouox replied to DedHedRN's topic in General Nursing

    This place is like so many others. It doesn't matter if it is LTC, Homecare, Hospital, Physician office, etc. We are short staffer, over worked, and the slackers get to stay so the rest of us have to...

    Fired for writing a nursing order?

    xoemmylouox replied to Nursynursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok lets say it was wrong.. For them to fire you and report you to the BON.. Give me a break. They want to scare you. I would contact a lawyer who deals with nurses. Good luck in the

    Still considered a new grad :(

    xoemmylouox replied to pkt00's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well I don't know who is still considering you to be a new grad.. You have 2 years of experience. In most circles I would think that you wouldn't be considered a new grad. Each facility is

    Drug screen for new job

    xoemmylouox replied to RURN2O11's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that UDS are always done ASAP so that you cannot wait for things to pass. It occurs when a job wants to hire you, and also if you get hurt on the job. You want to know what will happen...

    xoemmylouox replied to nursing81student's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    xoemmylouox replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All medical staff have huge responsibilities. Patient's lives literally depend on all of us. Is everyone fairly compensated for that? No. So while the CEO and CFO of a company should be paid a decent...

    Nurses make easy scapegoats when it comes to finding someone to blame for mistakes

    xoemmylouox replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    I think that mistakes happen. No one is perfect. Should she have lost her license, no. Should she have to do some sort of medication education, yes. Doctors make mistakes, but often are not forced to...

    Is magnet status hospitals shutting out all LVNs

    xoemmylouox replied to ladymaam's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It seems a good number of hospitals have cut out LPN positions. Some do still recognize the difference LPNs can make. Hospitals with Magnet status or trying to obtain that will never hire LPNs. It's a...

    Nursing in Michiana

    xoemmylouox replied to ArtisticNurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    It sounds as if Elkhart's hospital is sinking right now. Mishawaka and South Bend both have hospitals, however they have been in a pattern of hiring then laying off and or "eliminating that position"....
