  1. Got written up today

    nursinger replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    It was a learning experience. Next time you'll do exactly what you are supposed to do. Hopefully there won't be a next time. Don't dwell on it because it's not worth getting all upset over...just move...

    nursinger replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Paying for priority

    nursinger replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    nursinger replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    nursinger replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

  12. Patient Abandoment

    nursinger replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

  17. Did Nursing Supervisor do the right thing?

    nursinger replied to EtoseLvr03's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't feel comfortable doing something, then don't do it. Why wasn't this error caught a year ago? They should be checking every month to see who has a yearly assessment due and then made sure...

  18. Falsifying degree at work....

    nursinger replied to Twinboys98's topic in General Nursing

    My coworker signs everything RN BSN, even the narc sheets. She's the only one I've ever seen do that. I guess maybe she just wants everyone to know she has her
