   xariel replied to newRNurse08's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I really feel for you. I also got fired from my first nursing position, last year... Not all of this will apply to you, but this is what I did: 1) cry. I did a lot of that, and it helped me move on...

2. made a mistake, might get fired- thoughts/advice?

   xariel replied to xariel's topic in Nursing Career

   Thanks, caringchic. I got the opportunity to talk to my manager about it at our meeting, and I told her (without being asked) what I learned and what I should have done. I'm really, really aware that...

3. fired once, in trouble again....

   xariel replied to xariel's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Thanks for the much-needed hugs! HR said that they expect to have a decision within a week. I'm frustrated that this is taking sooo

4. fired once, in trouble again....

   xariel replied to xariel's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I had my "pre-discipline" meeting today, and it seemed like they were trying to build a case that I had previous unacceptable behavior... stuff like "well, haven't you been coached by a charge nurse...

5. fired once, in trouble again....

   xariel replied to xariel's topic in First Year After Licensure

   As far as I can tell, I'm a good mix with the staff on the unit, especially the other nurses. This particular CNA isn't well-liked by anyone, and doesn't seem to like anyone, but he doesn't have...

6. fired once, in trouble again....

   I graduated a little more than a year ago and I got fired during orientation of my first job. Turns out my preceptor was lying to my manager about me, and I was accused of several things that I didn't...

7. Fear

   xariel replied to KalipsoRed's topic in First Year After Licensure

   When I first started (I'm not quite a year out at this point) I couldn't handle three nights in a row, I had to do two and then the other later in the week. I feel your pain. Work hard on...

8. what to do?

   xariel replied to southernnursern8407's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I would have left a note for the MD saying "pt noncompliant w/ O2, sats low, please consider change in code status" On my floor, we have "communication notebooks" where we leave these notes. The MD...

9. made a mistake, might get fired- thoughts/advice?

   xariel replied to xariel's topic in Nursing Career

   I really hope that you're right and the punching in counts as different than clinical performance. Is the probationary period 90 days everywhere? I couldn't find any information about that on the HR...

10. Need advice on trying out mental health

    xariel replied to flightnurse2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Psych is way less "intense" than acute care in most cases, especially swing and night shifts, and lots of people find time for homework in psych jobs. If you are secure in your recovery, I think you...

11. Should I worry about drug use as a teenager/early 20s with no conviction?

    xariel replied to 1Rose1984's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, I guess I can't give you legal advice, but I don't think this counts as advice: AFAIK, the only things that are listed on background checks are things that are on the public record. If your...

12. made a mistake, might get fired- thoughts/advice?

    xariel posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I think I might be getting fired. Again. I started on a med/surg floor right when I graduated a little more than a year ago. After six weeks of orientation, I was fired without warning (they can do...
