This is not normal, acceptable behavior for the physician. Do not give up on nursing. Write an incident report on the physician, tell the Director what happened and have the nurses all work together...for example if he doctor starts yelling, the nurses all stand together and say nothing. Report it. He might be angry, but he is already that. That is abuse and no one should tolerate it. Complain. Enough complaints and they will let him go. It is a hostile working environment....report him to HR.

Hello everyone, I am writing because I have been an RN for 12 years, have a bachelors in Family Life Education and will have my BSN by May/June 2011. The problem? I have no job and will be interviewing for a med passing nursing home RN. I have horror stories of passing meds to 60 geriatric patients in 8 hours and now that I have done supervision; I am slow and out of practice with hands on patient care. I honestly do not even know if I can pass meds to 30 patients in 8 hours, but I need a job and jobs in my state are so hard to come by. I do not want to take the job and then find out I cannot do it --as in I am too slow so they lay me off because I don't pass meds fast enough. Should I take the job if offered and risk being slow and having to leave or should I pass it up? Any one have stories on how they succeed at passing that many meds in so little time when your almost 40 and slower than you used to be?

Thanks so much for sharing everyone! I am so stressed about this. My money order was cashed on July 28 and I still do not have my license. I am looking at 11 weeks so far. Finally I talked to someone who said, "well we are having problem with your name change." My name changed occured 9 years ago and I have renewed my license several times since then and never had a problem. The most annoying thing about all this is in all the times I called, emailed and sent letters no one bothered to tell me they need a marraige license from a marriage that occured over 9 years ago! It took them 12 weeks to communicate that to me! :devil:Uggg! I have to start clinical and how will I do that without this stuff? Uggg. I do not know what to do. veolai37:D

Mine is a renewal. I am so frustrated! I have called several times and I wait on hold 30 minutes to be hung up on, one time I lost my signal and twice I was told that to call after 8 weeks had passed. I am really frustrated.
