I am going to utilize this circle, Thank you!

I am an older nurse in my second career and recently fired from a wonderful skilled nursing facility in Spring. I loved my job. I made a med error following instructions that I apprently misunderstood. The DON never asked me what happened, just pushe...

Thank you so much! That is excellent advice. I will get busy recalling when I knew the records/report was falsified to TWC. I did write everything down as it occurred. It feels good to get some support. I will see about an administrative type of nu...

Thank you!

I too have heard and read that. That is why the case agaist me has to be strong. My Don was clever and decpetive to avoid appearing discriminatory when I was fired as well.

I heard that the med error has to be reported to each new employer and the new employer must send quarterly reports to the TX BON on the alleged offender. It stays with you. Fair or not. That is a likely outcome for me if I am not believed.

Thank you. No harm came to the resident. The DON ordered me to give the med. It has happened before and she covered me. She has 30 years and I have 6 months. She turned on me this time and I believe it might be ageism or my popularity. I loved and wa...

I was planning on insurance soon waiting for a couple more paychecks. This poem helped: Director of Nursing up are you on your throne Who covered your errors before they were known? My judge and jury, once new and had grace The BON here is fierce ...

Pandapixie, thanks for posting. I too went through something similiar. My lesson was things are not always as they seem. You can shift your thinking. You don't have to be crazy about the learning process and it doesn't matter who you learn it from. ...

The best attorney is you. Many students have been unfairly treated by a professor or two. I too had the same problmes and my GPA was 370. I got well prepared by speaking with other students before me,a favorite professor who walked me through the pol...

Excellent view

Well said, thak you!

on nurses that eat their young and compassion; a friend came up with this reasoning: it is probably the nurses who are in nursing for the wrong reasons that may guilty of a percentage of the problems along with as "jealousy" and "stress." it is all i...

I need some help with the cover letter and resume Diane227. If you would please contact me at [email protected]. I am a new grad but older. Never dreamed it woud be this hard to secure employment but it is. I could use some mentorship please. Tha...

I am a new graduate and have not had an interview yet. I was a student professional nurse for three months and I have applied to three internships that begin in May or June. Wishing everyone luck!

It was a knowing. My great g'father managed a childrens's hospital, my g'mother was pre-med before she married. y other set of g' parents were professors. I was influenced by them. My goal was to go into nursing right out of high school. Instead, I b...

This too shall pass. This is not typical. This sort of thing happens in regular business too. Irregularities for me is the norm and I would journal/document it to be true to myself. I love this field and that feeds a momentum to overcome difficulties...

I am 55 and entering my last semester of the RN program this fall. No worries! There is much diverstiy in Nursing. I am aware of a 65 year old student nurse. Go forward toward your aspirations, you can do it.

i was placed in a clinical group with an instructor who i reported for wrong behavior two semesters ago. she found out about it. since there were prior hostilities toward me, i realize her severe treatment toward me came from an agenda to retaliate, ...

I hear you! I have seen videos about the problems on youtube called horizontal abuse or violence

I know there is something I can do for the benefit of all students that have come for an education through the doors of my school and were abused. None should be mistreated. I am in this position for a reason. I am sure it is to help other nursing st...

This nurse is gunning for students each semester. It is hard for me to let this go because of my love for them and my own future. Is there any hope besides exposing them to the media which would be my last resort. I know there is a provision for nurs...

i was sent home because i had done too much work on the wrong chapters due later in the week and didn't complete the one i needed by day of clinical. i called to tell her what happened and that i knew she would send me home, she said no, come in, i d...

Yes there were reasons. My part was coming to clinical with three extra chapters done and only a part of the chapter that was required. She sent me home. The stress at that point was overwhelming and making me crazy. I did not connect her actions to ...

I am 54 and have one more year to graduate.
