I've never heard of staff getting to dictate about whether or not they work weekends! It's a,ways been a rotating situation in facilities I've worked in, either every other or every third weekend

It's not just nurses that wear scrubs, you can't go by that alone to determine employment by a particular appointment--that's what badges are for i work in a clinic and once a week I stop by a hospital pharmacy for chemo that we inject into someone's eye. I'm dressed for clinic in my scrubs and am in that hospital weekly wearing them. My badge tells anyone who cares to look the I do not work there

I think you've stumbled into the wrong thread...

If you were an actual nurse, you wouldn't use the term "serve me in a hospital". Now, since you're not a nurse, it just makes you look like an arogant, sexist unmentionable

Why are you "doing applications" when you are not a nurse?

Foreign educated nurses who want to know which state has the easiest NCLEX exam and won't check education or require English competency exams and how they plan to transfer the license to their dream state once they pass the easy states NCKEX obvious homework threads

She added that AFTER her initial post. She has offered far more information after that initial post

My "pearl of wisdom" is to stop thinking of this position as not a "real" job and for sure don't utter those words to others in real life

Think she claimed that as a workplace accident!?

I work in a clinic. Not only did I not get a lunch break, I did not get LUNCH. A usual occurance

What state are you planning this in?

Chances are VERY good that you'll be found out, so confessing ahead of that might be in your best interest. HOWEVER, no matter what, you should fully expect to be kicked out of your program, what you did was such a gross and blatant violation that they really have no choice. You've compromised your entire school from ever being invited back through those doors as a clinical site--you ARE a guest there and they do not have to invite students in.

I'm not sure of your intent on a website meant for nurses---and I don't believe you are one? You come across as some kind of lift salesman, thinly disguised as someone with a patients best interests in mind....

My PRN position has a sheet they print off with all of the residents on it. I color code in different color inks for what I receive in report, another color for what I need to do for that resident (Medicare charting, treatments, etc) another color for things that happened during my shift that I need to pass on in report (PRN's, fall, med change, etc)

You want to go back to? You have the degree, correct? I'm not understanding the question. If you haven't passed the NCLEX, using "nurse" in your user name is against TOS, by the way

Well, you couldn't SEE that the arm was broken b/c you do not have XR vision. I hope your school backs you on this fully. Also, keep in mind that you're hearing what the ER MD said, second hand, via a very upset Mom. Sounds like you handled everything appropriately

My advice is to wait a couple of days and check your states Bon for a license number

I get what you're saying!! I do a casual position in ltc and can think without even trying SIX residents whose legal name is not what they like to be called. The tag on their door says "dick" but in the mar they are "richard". And that's an easy one! We've got residents with nicknames not even close to their legal names. Also, down one hall there are FOUR Betty's, I kid you not. It's a 75 bed facility and they loaded up one hall with four of the same name! med errors happen. To everyone. Anyone who says they haven't are either too new or liars. Hopefully your facility can identify the breakdown of yours and take steps to prevent another one given the same situation!

Sorry, but you KNOW about your IBS, YOU need to be on top of having some crackers to take care of the physical ache. Stay out of my stash!!

The op was about changing the entire bag

I was directing that at pinay, who is NOT a nurse...

It's supposed to be painful so your body releases the natural response to pain to help with the reaction

They do. Both are difficult and intense in their own ways.

This is wrong on so many levels. Are you even a nurse? So sad that you're willing to alter your career path based on the opinion of one bitter soul.

I bring my lunch in an insulated bag with ice packs and I don't even work in a high theft facility
