  3. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    In the LTC facility I used to work in, there was a donation services shop. Any staff could donate clothing there. We were not allowed to directly give clothing to the residents,
  4. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    I understand that you want to help, but you have to do it within the limits of your nursing practice. It is a nurse's duty to refer or investigate appropriate services or resources that can help...

  7. Would you have called out?

    I will definitely set some boundaries; there's some great ideas from here on how to do just that. I will also try to dedicate some time to visiting them on my next
  8. Would you have called out?

    I just chalk it up to the culture of the facility. No one wants to switch (especially a weekend day) unless it benefits them, which is understandable. They actually PREFER for someone to call out so...
  9. I'm already planning to purchase study books for patho, health assessment, and pharm. I want to be fully prepared for those
  10. Would you have called out?

    Has there ever been a time when you've done
  11. Would you have called out?

    Yea, the pressure was definitely on. I've missed several family get-togethers before because I couldn't get out of work, so it's a "choose us for once" kind of thing with
  12. Would you have called out?

    I think a big part of the problem is that I don't have family who is in the healthcare field. A lot of times, they just don't "get
  13. Help! I look young!

    I cannot get promoted because of looking "too young". I would have been okay with "You're not there yet experience-wise" or "You're not ready for management," but instead I got "You're too young to...
  14. Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    1) So... How exactly are you planning to get through nursing clinicals without "touching" people? I think this should be your focus right now because you absolutely cannot become any type, kind, or...
  15. Length of Nursing Shifts

    I currently work 5/8's and it's just draining. I feel like I'm always at work and never really have time to do
  16. Nurses forced to work as aides

    This. Having nurses stand in for aides and get their regular nurse pay is bad management. It's a waste of resources and demonstrates poor staffing ability. I'm guessing the overall RN staffing...
  17. Nurses forced to work as aides

    Well this isn't "back then" - we have nurses aides in 2015. And working STRICTLY as an aide would be beneath me, because that's not what I went to school for. There's a difference between being a RN...
  18. Nurses forced to work as aides

    I really didn't know this was going on so I apologize if I come off as this guy who's just hearing that the light bulb was invented. Why exactly are you a nurse if you prefer to do the work of an...
  19. Nurses forced to work as aides

    It's not about pay. Yes, you're qualified but the moment something goes wrong, I bet you're going to say, "Welp, I was only an aide today, not a RN." You'll be thrown right under the
  20. Nurses forced to work as aides

    I'm sorry, but I would quit. If I wanted to be a CNA, I would have became a CNA. I don't care if the work only contains patient care, I became a nurse for a reason and expect to function as a nurse in...
  21. Job Hopper, concerned

    You have to understand where some of the posters are coming from. I know encouragement is what you wanted, but how can someone say "everything will be okay" when they believe otherwise. Not many...
