hey, calgirl here. Have a quick med error question, actually i have two. First does your facility have to report every med error to the state? Can you lose your license with one med error? I guess I have three. What is usually the protocol if you hav...

This is terrible, but please dont let it get you down. I was fired last month from my job that i worked at for 6 years. I was only an lvn there for 10 months, a cna for 5. I actually did make a med error, but this place was ridiculously busy, always ...

Thank You, I think it already has. I had an interview today, its for a little less money and its only 4 days a week but its a very slow facility and i still have registry. Now I will have time to go back to school to get my Rn. So, Its lookin up.Than...

Hello, its me again calgirl123. Well I may not have to make a decision to leave my nursing home because I just got suspended. I was signing for a med that was not given, I overlooked it somehow and thought it was d/cd, I honestly don't know how I mis...

Hey, its calgirl. So, I did get fired. They told me they investigated and found alot of deficiencys not just with me but that i had to many. I think their full of it and I was upset and depressed for a bit .I still miss everyone and my residents and ...

Ive come to the conclusion that none of these companies care about there employees they only care about money. My facility has also gone through 3 dsd 4 dons and 3 administrators and the one we have now is fire and suspension happy. Good luck I hope ...

I work the day shift in Ltc and I wish I had time to get all my meds out in time. i have 28 res. My shift starts at 7 I usually dont get startsd until 730 and I HAVE TO GO TO THE DINING ROOM SO i ONLY GET A FEW MEDS IN befor than.Than I dont get back...

At my facility your suppose to circle the med and write on the back med refused offered x3 without effect if the res refuses 3 times in a row the dr is suppose to be called. If the med is just not available for whatever reason were not suppose to wri...

:lol2:Thank You

THAT IS A GOOD POINT, ACTUALLY AT MY FACILITY WERE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO CIRCLE AND WRITE MED NOT AVAILABLE, SO ESSENTIALLY THERE ASKING US TO SIGN FOR A MED THAT IS NOT THERE. yA CANT WIN. tHANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY CALGIRL123:banghead:

They suspended me for 3 days, I dont know if Im fired or not they said they would call me on Mon. I hope I dont get fired even though I was planning on finding a new job anyway, But my biggest concern is my license. I can find a new job not a new lic...

I would get it back, that sounds to weird. They should just make a copy:bugeyes:

Thanks for the advice, but I have already told them that. I was going to quit there eventully anyway, I just didnt want to do it like this.

I did and told him there were other nurses signing for meds that were never even ordered, he just said that he has to investigate. He had the nerve to say passing meds is easy just pour pass and sign. A few weeks ago I was written up for having to ma...

Thanks so much everyone, That makes me feel so much better. I knew I wasnt the only one, but its good to here it from other nurses.:flowersfo

Thanks, I will do that if they dont fire me:scrying: I wont even know until Mon.

Thanks, I will do that from now on. I may lose my job over this, but what Im really upset about is how I could overlook something like this. Thanks again, your input is so appreciated:clown:
