Ok, here it goes. We were notified at work that there was a meeting we were told would be in our best interests to attend, not mandatory. It was a pt. She is an ob nurse at a private drs office who came in with " stroke like symptoms". She was tri...

If I could have afforded it, I would have.

well, There are about 40 of us nursing staff and only 5 attended the meeting with the higher ups. The nurses who were called out should have gotten up and walked out but i think they were afraid due to whom else was in the meeting with them. Anyway...

I have had this same thing. Left a hospital system, tried to return about 3 years later. Was offered a job and had orientation set up. Got a letter in the mail about 1 week later telling me the job offer had been recinded. Called the manager...

I thank you for your responses. We also stated that this should have been handled at a management level with patient relations, the pt and husband and administration. Out if 40 of us, only 5 nurses were present. The meeting was to start at 8 and she...

here is a recap of the meeting: I met with 2 members of HR, they listened to everything ( the sleeping on the job, the meds, her talking to everyone in the department, getting the statements from people, leaving the dept and leaving the pts unwatched...

I have a co-worker that is 20 weeks pregnant and on all kinds of drugs: Lortab, Neurontin, Ambien just to name a few. She takes them at work, falls asleep at the desk, I think she is dangerous. I spoke with the ER director who told me that they are ...

serene, OP means original poster. Ghillbert, I already told my boss that I would meet with her and HR but not with this co-worker. They way she runs her mouth, anything said in the meeting will be all over the ER within 2 days and I will not have it...

well, here is my last post until the meeting. I have a neighbor who usedto work in HR. She stated that if I was fired, I would have an excellent case to sue them for " whistle blowing ". She thinks that I will be given a write up and that is all. ...

Ok, I work in an ER where everyone talks about everyone. There is one nurse in particular that everyone knows everything about her for the past 4 years, her old marriage, new marriage, baby coming etc. She rams it down people's throats until theyare ...

I need help: I recieved a call from my manager telling me that I am to report to her office on Tuesday at 9am to meet with her, HR and the girl who has been sleeping. I asked if I was being fired and she said no, that HR is just trying to cover thei...

Update: I went in to the er and this nurse has spoken to EVERYONE who will stand still about what happenned, her being taped and that I am out to get her. The reaction from most is that they could care less, they are all tired of her stuff. A few ...

I went to my boss at one point and told her that she was on the drugs. She told me that she knew it but that she had rx's for all of them so there was nothing she could do. I stated that just because she had rx for them does not make her safe. My b...

This gorl tells everyone about everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all listened as she trashed her first husband and heard EVERY detail in the divorce. We all listened as she met hernew husband. We all listened as that marriagebroke up. She uses the pill...

she was in triage the other day and put down the complaint as ankle pain and ordered an ankle x-ray. Imagine the pa's surprise when she went to see the pt and they complained of knee pain and had to go back for another x-ray. The pa asked the pt if...

I heard that they were afraid to fire her as she is 36 weeks pregnant, afraid of a lawsuit, I cannot imagine why, the evidence is there and for Thankful nurse, NOONE watches her patientsm they just sit there, orders to be donem blood needed, etc. We...

I had posted before about the pregnant nurse I was working with who is sleeping on duty for years, reported, on lortab, mabien, neurontin etc..for her pregnancy. Anyway, she was written up a few weeks ago when she was found asleep on duty AGAIN by th...

I appreciate all the responses. For the record, I DID try to talk to her about my concerns and I was VERY nonthreatening. What I got for my efforts was her accusing me of butting into her business and her running to HR to complain that I was "gossi...

I agree with you, I will say that this nurse is now leaving the ER early during most of her shifts and is still having issues. Our ER directed is on LOA for a few months and I am willing to bet that her replacement, if she finds out about all of thi...

jere is a qick reply. She has neuropathy in her legs, walks around complaining and then takes it and zonks out about 30 minutes later. I did report my concerns to my ER manager and she told me, as I stated before, that she knew she was on all of it...

we know the falling asleep has nothing to do with her pregnancy, she was doing that before she became pregnant. They have "upped" her dosages as she states the pregnancy is causing her more pain. I have a problem with anyone who can talk on the cell...

from what i was told, she tried to get off the stuff when she found out she was pregnant but the "pain" from her neuropathy was too much for her. she is being monitored by a dr for the pregnancy and he knows what she is on. i feel that sleeping on ...

you know, that is what is so bad. Everyone knows it, everyone has seen her taking these meds for quite some time, about 2-3 years. She even lost her Lortab at work one day and called the er dr asking for another rx, he gave it to her. The superviso...

You know, I thought about that. I worked the other night and I was surprised at how many other nurses have issues with nurse #1 and nurse #2. If nurse #1 does go to HR, I will be calling in all the nurses that saw her sleeping on duty, the fact that...

Thanks Pag. You know, I was a "friend" of nurse #1 before and tried to take up for her. Her response was to call me up one day on my cell and state that she heard I had taken up for her but that I had a "bad look on my face" when I did it. I prompt...
