i just dont see you taking ownership in your posts op please point out where you did in case i have missed it while i wish you the best outcome i cant help thinking that a hard head is gonna make for a soft

this appears so egregious i am almost inclined to question that facility's compentancy

have you considered the pros and cons of changing floors?

great job & spot on ruby vee!!

if your nursing license could talk, it would probably call you and beg you to be more compliant with policy as the autonomy you exercised will probably not protect you if you went to court and had to defend your actions.

be assertive and tell/ask her to move. you can offer to print the hp (if it is available on the computer) and she get it from the printer and read it to heart's content elsewhere.

this.

stay in your lane. allow adminstration to follow up on this individual. if they need your help, they know how to find you. focus on your patients and stop looking for trouble for this individual before trouble finds you.

OP I know 20 year veterans that would sink and drown in sea of 7-8 patients on a Tele floor. Just awful.

why exactly was your teacher upset?

I would take great satisfaction out of throwing my degree in the ocean. I might even attach a chain and weights out of spite.

Please elaborate on your word of caution. This convo seems pretty benign.

Agreed. At least as long as the last shift didn't leave you a big mess that you have to work on before you even get started with what needs to be done on your shift. Nothing like walking into a total care's room at 1900 and seeing a tray of food that was not touched, a diaper that is so soiled the bed is wet and an ac piv beeping that won't flush with a bag of potassium that is 2/3 full still hanging.

if you don't speak up who will advocate for you?

Your summation of the field of nursing lacks merit sans experience as a licensed practicing nurse. At this point, your assessment is about as fitting as dr phil on a shampoo commercial.
