Mistake covered up (with mistake). It brings us deeper into ethical problem, even law. It cost a lot, even the job. It's a serious problem especially in JCI accredited health services (IPSG and QPS). It happened, luckily it did not run into sentinel event, and it was good you gained an insight and learned it hard way. The point is you try to be a good nurse at the end. Good luck.

Sad to hear. Having hundreds case of Covid-19 and found out a quarter of them died is depressing. She seemed to be so devoted to the work, but being contracted with the virus prevented her from doing her job which may have driven her feeling unable to provide helps.

Very valuable information. Thank you. We need to provide more support to our staff faving the situation. Will help them with more valuable information.

Nowadays, ones can be fired with reasons or even none. Better be cautious when having conversation about matters similar to patient conditions. When overheard by someone who doesn't have sufficient knowledge about the matter it can create distorted perception that may lead to some extent of trouble.

When trully run as JCI accredited health provider, this won't happen. My heart goes to the patient.

If that happens to me, a single upper cut at the jaw bone is the only proper answer. When all are tired not to eat up someone onboard.

In my first 5 years working, words was coming while bathing a late 50s father with brain atrophy, "I wish I could take as a son in law". Found out his daughter had a beauty that was more than I deserve. 😁

Since I'm not an English spoken nurse, I honestly love to see and learn many brilliant expression of experienced nurses in discussing subjects or matters that I'm interested in. I reply sometimes, expecting anyone will respond accordingly if my English isn't appropriate to the context being discussed. Other than that, I love nursing as it's been my line of work for around 35 years.

Mine? before entering nursing college. Uh, two full years at cleaning service agency. Cleaning toilets, stores, dumping garbage from mall every other day.

Hei. You did fine. All I see were part of learning while doing job. There were times that we almost never see that we are doing things right when the progress isn't what we expected. Having co-workers or superior that commenting like they can do things better than you is mostly frustrating, but I see it also part of challenges in day-to-day work. Been dealing with many with type I diabetic, sometimes the progress appears unexpectedly, but as long as we were with the patient through the event, we can anticipate most of negative outcomes, or at least minimize it. Working for one year should have made you learned a bit about how to be tough in dealing with Co-workers who used to show off and keep telling craps about their competence. Dont be so hard on yourself. little failure here and there is human. Stay learning, give it a chance, then you will find the moment that you feel things "click", or you start enjoying your work. ;-)

It raises a question on my side. It could probably be caused by the culture about patient safety hasn't yet well established in your department? Reporting error is a must. If you're then bullied yet the issued wasn't followed up then it is.

I did several CPR with the presence of blood or vomited materials. My view, comply to standar precaution seemengly enough. ;-)

Leave nursing if that makes you happy. Focus your energy on what that you have more passion in it. Don't look back. And, never regret.

I do few things. Modifying my sportbike, teaching some subject at Nursing School, repairing friends' personal computer, carpentry, and my newest project ATM is getting involved in developing our new house. Those just to make my daily life more colorful. ;-)

It is good to back off for a while. Take enough time to make more insight, then out to refresh our judgement. Who knows we gain better understanding of the drama. Based on my time in the past, if we good enough with the job, good means having most things done well, have appropriate positioning in the team, always making firm decisions. Then most co-workers will think twice to make a mess with us. If they do then they will lose our good support in a team. I had one in the past, a co-worker who did all possible things to make me out of her way. But I treat her normally and formally as co-worker. Later she quitted the job as any worst situation related to the work mostly turn out to be her fault. I believe you want to do the same thing, because spending 8 hours a day in that scene isn't productive and tiring.

Here is mine. If asked for being "plainly" a nurse. No way. I initially tried to get rid of the profession by learning so many other things like English, computer programming, bussiness management, dress making, electronics, even carpentry. What happened later, I even buried myself deeper into nursing because those other things I learned led me to get job enrichment. Since fifteen years back I was pulled into nursing committee office, giving lectures, assissting IT office, serving at staff training, some other lovely things to do. So now I would say I love being a nurse.

Great article. Helping me gainning more insight. Many nurses in my section have been in little conflict when in rush hours any patient or family ask for prayer companion. Not easily saying yes or even no.

Feel free to decide. The important thing is you like everything you choose to do. I see studying and learning with comfort is part of a happy day-to-day life. In your 22, the options wide opens.

Some employers would see what you call as accommodation is more as privileges though it concerns about religion. If the scheduling system run into scrambled just to accommodate you then they inevitable have to do something about that might make you fall into a misfortune. I still don't understand how it can be called as discrimination if the scheduling need is compromised just to accommodate you. Unless there were equal number of employees to make trade of. Once you deliberately sued them. And you happened to win. I might say you career in nursing could have come to its end, unless you establish your own clinic. Most of employers use to dig down most of applicant's track record. Just my thought.

If you are asking it as the first time experience I think that was completely OK with you. Though professsional bonding only allow us up to having emphaty, but everyone always have a starting point in which turn out to be a good chance to make better way in professional involvement with any patient under your care throughout your nursing career.

It's God given gift not everyone have. Go forward with it. If you find others have problem with it, that will be theirs, certainly not yours. :) Good luck with that.

When staffing efficiency is among priority in nursing management, floating system is inevitable. But it is wise to be done by considering the appropriate skill levels between floors. This is less stressful to the staffs. To be true, no one likes it. But still, can get used to it.

I have 10 year serving Psych clients in the past. We all agreed that bipolar is controllable through proper meds. Hope you are in the best way helping him. Best of luck.

A potential for bringing up sexual content into work circumstances is actually exist. Just like a dormant germs in our body. But it will never come into actual scene if each of us is not in the line of entertaining it. One might start but as long as the other can stay uninvited, it won't go further. When in charge, I in many ways always remind the staff in case of any harassment is imminent, they can use a gesture like making little distance, keep up with the current work, and avoid making negation abruptly are mostly effective. There were some of senior staffs or docs who always try to make their chance, but once we do not entertain it, they will stop for sure. This issue is not exist only in health-care-work setting. It's everywhere.

Feel the need of side rails when find out you kids sleep with one legs hanging down the bed.
