She was rightfully upset bc she would expect you to know better as the professional but she also recognize that it's her fault for not disclosing her status. She probably felt ashamed. No one wants a lobby full of people that you don't even know to hear that especially when she didn't even tell her boyfriend whose sitting right there, She is probably taking it as a sign that it was meant for him to know and that the guilt can finally be lifted. Who knows? he probably accepted it and it may lead to them eventually getting married. She is free to be herself finally... I wouldn't worry over the situation. I know It's easier said than done.

do acute dialysis then see if you can possibly transfer into another specialty within the same hospital system. Good luck to all those who read and pursue.

At the very least $45 an hour considering all of your experience. No matter what area you are residing in....unless mortgages on a nice place is 150k and one bedroom apt in a decent area is $900 a month.

That is horrible. You should be at least 50 an hour.

I'd be going back to school to advance education. Reading self help books and making goals and plans for travel. I promise you I'd have no problem filling them hours with doing something.

The ER nurses are for emergencies and shouldn't act on behalf of law enforcement. They need to have their own staff come down and collect blood samples. I've had officers threaten to lock nurses up for refusing to draw blood and faking to have physical documents signed by the judge. How do I know what judge allowed for that warrant when I'm not connected to that system? We can check doctor's credentials but we can't check court records if I'm not mistaken. I've had officers with warrants that were intentionally not fully visible in regards to showing name print/signing. Digital warrants should not be the responsibility of an ER nurse. Get the supervisors involved. People that can't be bullied into performing functions outside of fear of retaliation or force charge nurses to get special training on verifying and make them be assigned to doing that... No traveler RN from Hawaii 72 degree weathers wants to be subpoened in court and forced to show up in Minnesota during the Winter... Make your full time supervisors be responsible or force them to hire their own correctional nurses or lab techs.

lmao!? ?

$10.86 an hour. 1 cent more an hr for all of your hardwork and responsibility.

this is crazy. But get ready for them to assign that role to you as opposed to hiring an additional nurse to offset this illegal mess they having going on.

I don't believe California will ever become a right to work state because of how so many people tend to think out there. It's super overly dramatic democratic policies plague the state. The intent is to protect workers but I believe often times it protects some and hurts others. (Like in your case). The only way you can overcome your situation is to join part time or full time or quit. I'm inclined to believe they set it up that way to encourage others to be more readily to work extra and be available more often to offset the unfairness. Good luck on whatever you decide to do moving forward.

It appears that inflation has dramatically increased the price of items. There is a significant difference between 2019 and 2024. Do you all predict that pay will eventually increase in a couple of years or will nurses continue to work out of the kindness of their hearts??

So for anyone that has ever overslept or has ever taken a nap longer than desired, they can be likened to pedophilia. Wow! That's extreme. (?) This is why nurses sometimes look at other nurses and wonder how in this universe did this person ever get a license.? "CRNA's finest, best and brightest of 2024," I'm pretty sure she wasn't administering nor monitoring someone receiving anesthesia. In the land of the free and the home of the Whopper, many individuals insurance is tied to their place of employment; however, sometimes employees do not qualify for benefits due to PRN status and employees also have the option of declining coverage or may be just underinsured. Either way, she doesn't have the privilege of CRNA pay just yet. I could be wrong, but I believe she is a CNA that may be in nursing school or pursuing it. With all due respect, any coverage outside of it being 100% free will be a big ER bill. Hop down off of that high horse every now and again. I'm sure you've never done anything wrong that would require an experience of humiliation to learn a valuable lesson but it's just classy to exude humility in my eyes.

I'm sorry about your coworker. She had a "known" drinking problem It's up to the starter of this thread to determine how to proceed forward. I just simply gave my opinion. She didn't suffer any harm for her behavior but she suffered from humiliation, she will be suffering from a big ER bill and she may actually "potentially" really suffer in the future should she remain being a human (no one is perfect) and stay working with unfavorable coworkers.

How old are you? and how long have you been a part of the working world? and, if so, how long have you been in the healthcare field? Some of the most toxic and stressful areas to work are in healthcare. People can be very malicious. You would think that the caring field had more graceful individuals in it but it's the opposite. People are very critical, bully-like, judgemental, retaliatory and even join the career for selfish reasons and actually view pt care as beneath them as opposed to honorable duties. We work under brutal conditions and often times battle nefarious individuals and principles. "What am I not seeing that others are?" You are not seeing the ***POTENTIAL*** for a lifetime or at least years of potential unnecessary stress or hardship. When you are dealing with lives (possible death, harm, life long injury/handicap), you can be sued/fined/jailed personally (house taken or foreclosure, reputation destroyed, humiliated, car taken, any inheritance taken, misdemeanor/felony, license revoked, suspended, limited practicing privileges which makes it hard or impossible to be hired in certain roles lessening other opportunities for higher wages). Out of all of those scenarios aforementioned, being a no call no show is the best case scenario. You may not ever be hirable again at that company but thank God there's more than one. You just cannot afford to be around coworkers who (although possibly well intentioned on behalf of patients or just covering themselves) accuse you of being on drugs while at work. For God's sake, it's over nightshift towards the very end of her shift and no one gave her the benefit of doubt that she was just tired. These are supposed to be intelligent medical professionals so actions like reporting are taken very serious. That situation will show up in her little folder/file, even if when she proves them wrong by having a negative test. So moving forward if she has any other ridiculous unfounded complaint or even a legitimate unintentional innocent mistake made, they will use that against her. That lady is in nursing school and she need to have a spotless record and maintain it for life if she plans to be a nurse. Play around and find out. Meanwhile her evil, jealous, miserable coworkers will be moved on with their lives and she still dealing with bs.

as soon as the test come back negative, (and u obtain proof via medical records) quit effective immediately or do a no call, no show and never show up again. Or keep calling in for every shift they have you scheduled until they fire you. (hopefully u can use pto). or get placed immediately on stress leave so that you still get paid and they can't retaliate and as soon as u have to come back to work keep calling in or Send a I quit effectively immediately 10 minutes before start of shift. You can't work with people like that bc those people will mess up your whole nursing career. It's not worth the headache. And u absolutely cannot ever take a position as a nurse at that place ever! Trust me. You have to protect your livelihood. U do not want to waste all those years of hardwork down the drain due to jealous, evil, bitter individuals who are miserable in their personal lives.

I'm sorry but this is horrible.

Texas has a statement on their Texas BON website that specifically speaks to the Florida nursing school scandal. So maybe they are vetting Florida more meticulously to make sure that the nurses are safe for the public.

that's horrible unless the job is extremely easy and doesn't require multitasking/critical thinking.

what happens possibly for first dui?

yall are so dramatic and funny.

Tough skin should develop and get thicker as the years go by. Own and embrace your disability wholeheartedly. You must learn to assess and work thru any possible insecurity you may have because people can be ignorant and mean in nature. I suggest you start coming up with multiple witty responses to possible inevitable scenarios in the future or start learning some "your momma jokes" or learn to dig at their insecurity or be assertive & redirect the conversation or educate in a matter of fact approach.

If you let it, Nursing can take all of your joy away and crush your spirit. You have to have faith. Get some champagne or your favorite piece of cake and celebrate your new job. Take it one day at a time.

girl, forget them people. Start applying for another job.

Those organizations are lying in bed with one another. It's a waste of money.

go on a short strike during this pandemic delta stuff and let's see what happens... The hospital areas that have horrible staffing before the delta variant even arrives are going to be in an even bigger problem problem months from now.
