I Think Your Heading In The Right Direction. Now That I Think About It If You Were Not Angry With Her You Would Be Hanging Out And Eventually You Would Probably Be Using Right Along With Her. I Don't Want To Sound Harsh But You Have No Room Inside Of...

Her Friend Is No Friend. I Know She Did It Out Of Malice. I Require No Proof,i Just Know. Sara62

Ok, I've Read This Post 3 Times. Do People Honestly Believe That In This Situation That Girl's Friend Was Trying To Help Her By Reporting Her? Trying To Protect Her Patients? I Don't Buy It. Did She Take The Drugs? Yes Did She Create Her Own Problem...

I read an email that was basically sarcastic and mean. I got mad. I can't find it,who knows maybe I misunderstood what I read. I very rarely get mad like that. Both comments have been removed from the list. sara62

I Agree With Mostly Everything You Said Except The Friend. She Did Not Report Her To Protect Her Patients,her License Or Trying To "help Her Because She Cares So Much" She Did It To Stop Trouble Sara62

Hi, I Just Want To Say Good Luck And I Also Want To Tell You To Never Share That Info. I Don't Care How Close You Think You Are To That Person. If You Need To Discuss Such Issues,do It Here. These People Are Very Wise And Have Alot Of Experience...

What Is It They Always Tell Us (cover Your Ass) Always Follow Your Gut. A Few Years Ago I Saw An Episode On Oprah. It Was About Security,the Dues And Don'ts Of What We Should Or Should Not Do In Order To Protect Ourselves. He Gave An Example As To W...

What happens if your surrounded by them? sara62

Hi, I haven't been on for awhile but I feel outraged for you. I know this may sound corney but I love helping people. At present, I am waiting to begin classes to become certified as a nurse paralegal. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Some st...

Amen to that! It does get a bit tiring after awhile but I dug my own hole and have had to learn to live inside that hole as best as I can. Sometimes I want to scream or punch something,I have not had one positive drug test since 1999. I would really ...

Hi, Yes, it definitely sucks and unfortunately will remain that way. Each state is independent of the other. In my state a license is viewed as a priveledge not a necessity. With that being said, if the BON chooses to grant a license to a pers...

Hi, Please don't put the burden of a colleagues death on your shoulders. It is her fault. Ethically, the management and the BON are responsible. I was never impaired at work period. If I exhibited any one of those behaviors at work my employer ...

hello, before you make yourself crazy go to the federal site or the inspector general's website, go to the federal exclusion list,pick your state and make sure you are not on that list. If you are on the list send me an email . sara62

What I have found to be most devastating is being on a public list for all to read. The first thing people do is check the status of a new hire. This does not include management,they know before you walk in the door. I mean fellow employees who find ...

the charge nurse and manager need to be a team and unfortunately it's rare that would ever happen. It's worth a shot. Good Luck

what would you do if that particular nurse went on an loa,got herself straightened out and came back,how would you be toward that nurse?

YOUR RIGHT. SOMETIMES I'M SO BUSY I FORGET. i ALSO TAKE OFF MY LAB COAT ALOT BECAUSE I GET WARM. IT'S NOT INTENTIONAL IT'S JUST ME NOT PAYING ATTENTION. I RARELY DO IT, BUT I AM ONLY HUMAN HUMAN. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

It's amazing how much stuff I find in my pockets. saline bullets, alcohol swabs,gauze,tape,meds that were refused but had every intention of trying again,insulin,gloves etc.

So,the best course of action is to nail the coffin shut? May I ask why? The police and bon work side by side. They notify one another so it doesen't really matter who you report to first

tread very carefully when you want to involve the bon. Is it possible for you and your fellow colleagues to approach her as a group first? She needs help. The board will destroy this person. Boards are more dangerous than drugs sometimes. I know that...

I'm a little confused about your analogy and the angel of mercy title

try telling her that you know & have concerns about the situation. Being that you are a nurse offer her your assistance and support first. Maybe you could actually help her. It's easy to receive support from a fellow colleague the only problem is...

Having personal experience I really understand some of these responses. However, nurse's are caregivers to everyone but their own. Police bond together,our military bonds together and fire fighters. There are a large majority of nurse's out there tha...

HI, I had the state come into my facility at 3 AM . She picked up my MAR chart,went down the hall and checked to see if the patients were wearing all asssistive devices ordered in their care plans. I had one lady that wasn't. It was so cool,this lady...
