When i was a psw i had a lady in the lift chair to get her into the tub and she started to have a BM. She took to screaming " get that pen*s out of my A$$!!!" Omg... I howled!

1) House hunt! 2) Sit with my toddlers who due to full time work and overtime I havnt seen a lot of the past month

I would just go up and say "I must have missed the part on my hourly wage and I don't want see see like I'm money hungry but how much do I make an hour during orientation and regular hours"

Contact the pharmacy directly ask for a pick up from the pharmacist?

My dilema is my doc asked me not to and to give her more time but I was worried if more harm came to her it would come back on my license.

Sorry for typos I posted from my phone and its been a long emotionally draining day and having a hard time sleeping now

So I'm doing a visit today and the lady who is heavily pregnant admits to m, she and her daughter and viciously beat/peed on/not allowed to eat due to her spouse/mother in law. I ask my doctor what to do about it and dr said pt has a plan to leave give her time before calling family and children. I am obligated to report! So I called when I got home and filed the report causing FACS to jump into action! I know I did the right thing reporting but I feel so bad going against my doc... Am I right????? Am I wrong??? Sorry new grad

We have a board in every pt room were we have to write our name and their doc and discharge date so if they need their nurse they can say my nurse is so and so but no pictures

You mean my personal email of [email protected] won't land me a job?

I think you already have some great strategies/morals in place. I always tell my drug seekers you can have your pills at this time and I put my foot down. If they ask sooner I remind them that no your medications will be delivered at xyz time and not sooner! I also had a pt request I leave her pills on her bedside table (narcs etc) I told her no she said all the others do it! I replied I'm not the others my shift my license my rules!

I haven't been very happy where I was from the get go. My cousins husband I'd the union rep where I was hired (I didn't know he wasa the big head at my work) and told me union wise they are having a hard time keeping the union happy and have lost a lot of nurses. My 2nd red flag was after I started working there the ministry has been in every week (not my floor) for complaints/reports etc... Then they give me my new scheduale and I'm working 15 days in a row switching between evening shifts and day shifts and wouldn't pay overtime. My ADOC's who I work closely with say I am a great nurse and they hope I stick around so I feel bad for them but incident report after report its crazy what happens here!

I'm canadian not american...

When I interviewed I said 2 weeks and then when they offered the job they asked me to start asap due to needing a nurse for the new dr they hired. I just accepted what they offered for a start date hung up and went oh crap (I was a little excited) but the place I'm at now I'm very afraid for my license the ministry is in there for a bazillion complaints and I don't want to lose my brand spanking new license!

Hey guys, I did some searching on how to do this but I still would like some more advice related more towards me. I work in a LTC that Im miserable at. I work tomorrow and tuesday but just got offered a full time position in a multi-doctor family healthcare team!!! It's a great move more hours and better pay. How do I quit immediately at my old place? The new place wants me to start monday and then I wouldn't be able to work tuesday at the LTC. Do I tell the nurse manager who's in tomorrow with a letter in writing and then come in monday and talk to the schedualer? Im confused!

Hey I did the CC thing and was a single mom with 2 under 2! I'm a new grad on the floor where I work now it was super awkward at first and I was like am I doing something wrong should I have this new shiney car, should I have my own house? Then I thought about it - as long as bills are paid, food in my fridge and my kids are happy _ who cares if I don't have the other stuff the other girls brag about they may have had specality courses and training up the wazooo but I'm the person the management asked to be on the wound management comittee and pain management not them! I'm the person management asks for my opinions on things. Keep your head up and do the best damn job you can I think having been the hard way to get where we are we know how those patients feel when they can't afford something and with a little common sense we are DAMN good nurses!
