  2. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    steven007 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Workers compensation rights aside, this nurse has a clear case of negligence against the hospital and this is the bigger fish to fry. The hospital administration implemented this new equipment...

  5. Does Being a Nurse Remove Your Constitutional Right to Free Speech? The Carolyn Strom Case.

    steven007 replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    steven007 replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    steven007 replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    This has already happened in America! https://www.statesman.com/article/20130210/NEWS/302109767 The theme is concerning for sure and I think nurses internationally need to take notice and speak up...

  8. Interpersonal Skills Lacking in Healthcare

    steven007 replied to Frontier Nursing University's topic in General Nursing

    steven007 replied to JSB2018's topic in General Nursing

    steven007 replied to FitNurse18's topic in General Nursing

  11. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    steven007 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I agree and this is a very valid point! However, where I disagree is that it is actually a valid defense in court. Its called undue duress and has been argued quite successfully in cases here in...

    steven007 replied to Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre's topic in Nursing News

    I don't want to be the cynical one here, but I am having a hard time seeing how this really meaningfully impacts new nurses? Part of the issue is that I am a Canadian nurse, but Canada now uses the...

    steven007 replied to RNurse2019's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You remind me of when I first started nursing! haha The mistakes you are making are common sense mistakes. You are completely ignoring common sense and over-thinking every situation. This is almost...

  14. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    steven007 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    This is ridiculous! "Now that they don't want any life saving measures, let's just off them so we don't have to waste a bed on them", is the thinking that comes to mind. And I am sure that this was...

  17. Controlled med not documented

    steven007 replied to Chocolate1's topic in General Nursing

    This is so unlikely. This is one incident. If it was happening a lot and always with controlled substances, then I would definitely worry and it would definitely raise suspicion. This is a one-off...

  19. Controlled med not documented

    steven007 replied to Chocolate1's topic in General Nursing

    What did your assistant manager say about the situation? Chances are it was just a user error on your part. You say you scanned the patient and med, I am not sure what system you are using, but...

  20. Scared to leave nursing

    steven007 replied to nurse_982's topic in General Nursing

    You are my doppelganger! I graduated nursing in 2013 and started in a career in med/surg, floating to other units such as emerg and ICU. I lasted roughly 3 months before I left (and I didn't leave on...

  21. Positive pre-employment drug screen! What will happen?

    steven007 replied to Pmb's topic in General Nursing

    It is a pretty surreal situation and I am sure that others have used this excuse in the past (whether legit or not, its not for me or anyone else to say). But my advice to you, to put your mind at...

    steven007 replied to Bones17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I laughed so hard at this comment. I just pictured a hospital, with a bunch of nurses in old Western uniforms, dodging bullets and running down halls with guns. But on a serious note, I think the...
