    It sounds like retribution. Get your union rep involved ASAP. Start a log as well for your own benefit in regards to any convos like this one, writeups,
  2. If someone in America chooses not to learn English that is their choice. They shouldn't expect people to learn their native tongue as that is our choice. Typically family will translate or we can get...
  3. Thank you to anyone who has a recommendation. Very appreciated. It's for a relative in
  4. getting "gifts" from patient every other day

    I would absolutely take the baked goods. We get them all the time on the floor so I see no harm in that. I don't have much issue with the used books either but you could borrow and return them after...
  5. frustrating doctors

    If the OR NM is afraid to stand up to doctors she needs to find another job. She's a danger not just to her staff but more importantly to all the patients. It would be a cold day in hell I wouldn't...
  6. should I talk to HR?

    Have you already signed everything? Even if you have you could still ask to re-visit the issue but you will have more leeway if you haven't signed on. If they state they won't raie it now ask if it...
  7. "Good for nothing student"

    This one statement leads me to believe she's not just short with students but with patients as well. It's about her not you. She has a bad attitude. I'm sure you bought the patient some
  8. I'd definitely call and ask if there were shifts open. I'd also ask her about FB. It could be because she wants to avoid the appearance of favortism which I can understand. That doesn't mean you still...
  9. Night/Hospital gowns with side slits ???

    That's a really good idea. It shouldn't cost too much and you can still wear your fave
  10. I'd urge you to tread carefully, OP. You are a very new nurse and one who lacks any long-term experience at present. You might feel very sure of yourself right now but you still have a lot to learn....
  11. Not paid overtime

    RNs typically aren't paid O/T for working 12 hour shifts. Our O/T starts after 36 hours. If you aren't a salaried employee your O/T starts at 40 hours. The work week should be outlined at your job....
  12. is this considered a fraud?

    If you have questions go drectly ro HR and let them look into the issue. If there is a prob they will rectify it at
  13. I should probably let this go but...

    Horrible way to treat someone who went above and beyond. If you felt you couldn't safely take over their care you should always decline the assignment. Better to lose your job than your license. I...
  14. Have you been accused of being more of a CNA, then a RN.

    As a RN you need to do all the duties the CNAs can't do. You need to be able to prioritize and delegate. There are plenty of times I help with CNA duties and plenty of times we do a bath together. We...
  15. enemas and nurses

    We do all enemas so I have no issue with that being done here as well. Enemas should be done by the nurses. I do however agree that in some instances things are taken away from CNAs or other...
  16. Sleeping on the job

    You sound like a very nice and very caring nurse and person. While I can understand why you feel sad about reporting her you need to do it as patients are suffering. It's now a problem. Let your...

  20. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Female nurses and management can be just as unprofessional, immature, cocky, and inappropriate. This type of behavior isn't reserved for one sex or the other. It has more to do with the person...
  21. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Don't resort to the same game playing her does or the childish antics he has decided to adopt as a manager. When people resort to these behaviors you have to keep in mind this is about them and their...
  22. Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions

    I wanted to extend my apologies as well. I'm glad you can pick up a partial on Monday. I hope that helps with the pain. I have a mother with chronic pain issues and it's just awful to see her or...
  23. asking for meds?

    If you weren't being assessed for pain on an ongoing basis post-op you should have been. When being assessed if you stated you were still in pain the PRN drugs should have been given as long as they...
  24. Nurse with Body Odor

    I would never go the note route and I would rather be told directly via a co-worker then know someone complained about it to management versus coming to me directly but that's me. Simply go to them...
  25. Go for it. I'm sure she will love it. I also like the idea of making some extra for the
