  1. 1. Can we please have the supplies we need to do our job? 2. Can you please hire more help to answer the phones, instead of coming to the nurses as they are providing care and telling them to answer the phone. 3. When you ask me to work another shift...
  2. I took report from a nurse who reported to me that she gave prn pain medications, but when I went to give the pain medication, I noticed the prn medication was not documented ( was not scanned). I checked to see if the medication had been removed and...
  3. Feeling So Defeated

    Yes, I feel as though I am being set up to fail as well. I am constantly worried on my days off that I have made a mistake and that I am going to lose my license. It is really affecting my home life. I am completely miserable. I have asked if I could...
  4. Feeling So Defeated

    I am coming here to vent because I really need to talk to someone. And I am crying as I sit here and type this. I really try hard to be a good nurse. I had a crashing patient when I walked in on Friday and got the patient through it and stable (as st...
  5. med errors

    Thank you for all of the advice. I am going to learn from this and move on. I am going to not look at this in a negative light. I did the right thing by being accountable for my mistake and I know now that I should have varianced myself even though I...
  6. med errors

    Not really. I told the charge nurse and supervisor and the supervisor said not to worry about it but then told charge nurse to write it up a week later.
  7. med errors

    I was wondering what some of you would think regarding this matter. If someone made a med error and they were honest about and told the the person in charge and charge nurse and was told that they would not be written up but then was written up two w...
  8. Safety

    If safe patient care is so important, then why does management rush to get patients transferred. Why is it always hurry, hurry, hurry. There are times when you don't even have time to assess the patient before they are yelling to get them out because...
  9. Hostile work environment

    Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. I did take this person aside in private and tell them how I felt. They were very defensive and angry, but then changed and became very apologetic and overly nice, even telling me how proud they were of me. I...
  10. Hostile work environment

    I am very competent in my abilities and skills as a new nurse. I am also still learning so when I ask a legitimate question, I expect an answer w/o the eye rolls or loud sighs. Because a new nurse who doesn't ask the questions and pretends they know ...
  11. Hostile work environment

    Do you work in a hostile work environment? Do you work around someone who is always negative and criticizes you? I have had this experience. I asked for help when I realized I didn't have the right supplies at the bedside ( the physician wanted somet...
  12. It's been one year and I am just as unsure of myself as I was in the beginning. I think I have made a mistake becoming a nurse. I love helping people, but I feel like I am not smart enough, no good enough, not fast enough. And the thought of losing m...
  13. Saying No

    I am a people pleaser and I would have to say it is my biggest weakness. And then I am miserable that I said "yes" when I really wanted to say "no". I like my days off and I feel that when I am rested and go back to work, that I am a better nurse. An...
  14. Saying No

    Learning to say no when asked to work overtime is hard. When I work extra my child suffers because I have no way for him to get home from school when he stays for sports or tutoring. He has even missed games and tutoring because I say yes all the tim...
  15. Which phone pda or PDA are you using in the ER

    We are also not allowed to have PDA's on our unit (Critical Care) and internet access is locked to nurses. This doesn't make sense.
