  4. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    southernbeegirl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    me too on all of this! i would never report a nurse for missing a patch without speaking to her first to find out why. even if this were common for her, i'd still insist the supervisor handle it....

  5. Another nurse got fired because of me.

    southernbeegirl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    southernbeegirl replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

  14. Narcotic Wasting Mistake

    southernbeegirl replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this 100%. I might even go one step further and see if the vial cant be tested for contents to prove the same drug is in there. Your hospital will probably fire you and report you to...

    southernbeegirl replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand corporate thinking. the amount of lawsuits and complaints HAS to be directly related to poor staffing numbers. if they would budget for even just one more nurse and one more CNA...

  17. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

    southernbeegirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Our doctors do not normally call a family member to ask their opinions on medication. yes, i realize you have the POA for your mother but that still does NOT make you a doctor and therefore you are...

  23. How to report my boss

    southernbeegirl replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing
