  1. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Once again, I take full responsibility and do not make excuses. I don't think they are out to get me at all. I'm moving on and that is all that matters. I'm at peace with my

  2. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not on orientation. In LTC you get 2 days of floor orientation if that. I'm still in my probation period Getting fired right now would only be a

  3. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When did I ever blame the facility for my mistake? I have stated several times that I take full responsibility and do not make excuses. The DON praised me for my honesty. Ironic, I

  4. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yesterday I put in my two week notice to go PRN. I have had it with this place. I get written up for false documentation, however they are calling nurses in to come in to falsify records because the...

  5. job hopper? advice?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to nycnurse18's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a job hopper as well. I'm ashamed to admit it. My first 2 years as a nurse was stable I had two jobs in two years which I stayed at both a year each. Then I started nursing school again and that...

  6. Would you leave current job for a Mon-Fri less stressful opportunity?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to ooMissNurseoo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Take it. I'm in LTC and miserable. I'm not quitting but I am reducing my hours by going from full time to PRN. I don't have another full time job lined up right now so I'm relying on faith that I will...

  7. Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All of those answers were absurd except the one about the cruise. I love to go on cruise and I often book them months in advance, so if a cruise is coming up then I do mention it on the interview......

  8. 4 people with UTI

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to payang0722's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing is wrong with you. UTI is common in the elderly. I've heard many docs say that probably over half the residents in a LTC will come back positive for a uti because of colonization. The elderly...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I do feel that I'm a safe nurse. I've been in nursing for over 5 years and this job was the first job I've rec'd write ups. This facility does not believe in verbal warnings. Write up at this facility...

  12. I'm a nurse, not a babysitter!!!

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I know what you mean. I did Pediatric home health. I loved the idea of home health nursing but I was more like a babysitter. I would spend 12 hours during the shift talking to the children and playing...

  13. Think im in big trouble!

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Dummyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a hard time understanding. It seems as though you did the right thing. You assessed, intervened and so on. What am I

  14. What to say to HR to get to nurse recruiter on the phone

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have been following up after putting in my applications for jobs and I rarely get a chance to talk to a nurse recruiter. As soon as I mention "job application" I get shut down. I'm looking for...

  15. What to say to HR to get to nurse recruiter on the phone

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just learned a new strategy today. I now ask who the nurse recruiter is so that I can forward my cover letter to him/her. So far it has worked. Once I get the name I call back to get directly...

  16. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you for your reply. This is so true. Some nurses make up weights, fingersticks, vitals signs and so on. I've seen it with my own eyes. I know not every treatment is being done. At my facility...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unfortunately, I'm not a troll. I'm just a RN who really needs to get her act

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I always appreciate your comments. I know for fact that I'm in the right career. I have no doubt about it. There are times when I wish I wasn't a nurse but then I remember the reason I chose nursing....

  20. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't think I have monkey's on my back. I just think I need to step out on faith and consider a different area of nursing. Honestly, I've been fired from one job... unrelated to patient care and yes...

  21. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have already done this. Last night I assessed every resident with a treatment and today (if I still have a job) I plan to get several orders reduced to PRN and d/c'd. Some of these treatments were...

  22. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Oh thank you so much. I have faith that I'll find my place in nursing someday. I know I'm not the best nurse in the world but I'm certainly not the worse. I'm going back to school nursing for a...

  23. Written up for false documentation...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree one hundred percent. I know I'm far from being a perfect nurse, however I do my best. I make sure that for the most part my residents are well taken care of. In court they will never care that...
