"do you [or anyone else that interviews] assume it is because he/she is a non-rehire due to lack of notice or because he/she was terminated? i know of a non-rehire that chose that option. however, i also know of countless others who chose that option for entirely different reasons." just out of curiosity, what other reasons could someone put down? i know my don personally does not like me and has made it well known that she feels this way, so i would not want to have any future employer contact her for fear of what she may or may not say.

I've worked part time at an SNF for almost 8 months now. It's my first real job out of nursing school, and everyday I dread it more. I work days, and I have anywhere from 20-26 heavy duty patients. Like a previous poster, I go home praying I didn't forget anything. I am basically intimidated into punching out and then continuing to work and chart, measure wounds, change dressings, work on new admissions. It's ridiculous. A couple weeks ago I had an unexpected admission in the last two hours of my shift, so I did the assessment sheet and by the time I was done it was time for 2pm med pass, then before I knew it, it was 3:30 and time to leave. My daughter had an appointment at the pediatric gastroenterologist at 4:30, I live 5 minutes away, the dr's office is another 5 minutes away. I had to get out of there, but I still had to call the doctor to inform her that the new admit was there, and go over the meds. I did that, and I informed the oncoming staff that I had to leave, I gave them report and left. I actually came back later that night to make sure I had the rest of the admit in order and finish charting! But from what my friends on the 3-11 shift tell me is that my boss grabbed the admission and got angry that the care plans were not done, so she did them herself. Last week I get called into her office. She says that I am not delivering safe care. It took them that long to find a mistake of something I did: I took a T.O. for a BID dosing on an antibiotic at 2pm, I faxed it to the pharmacy, I did everything else right, BUT i forgot to write it on the MAR. I called the next morning before med pass and told the nurse that I forgot but I ordered the med. This is actually common practice, just not the calling to alert the nurse, we usually find out when pharmacy delivers the med...anyway, my DON says because of that and the fact I did not document that I gave an elder a prn dose of robitusson, they claim the elder told them (i tried to give it because she asked for it, then refused it!), that I am being written up. The write up is so severe that it is deemed a final warning that will stay on my file for the next 18 months, and if any other issues pop up I will be terminated. I don't even know where to go from here. I know that I will not be there much longer because of that. I am on everyone's radar. The next day I went into work and she actually had made the same kind of error! She wrote in the MAR a resident was on IV fluids, I went to toilet the resident and there was saline everywhere so I turned off the pump and went to take out the "IV" when I almost had a needle stick...it was a subcutaneous button for subcutaneous fluid replacement, or hypodermoclysis--->NOT in the MAR, but she did write and sign off on that order. I just want that write up gone, and I want to leave the organization. She is obviously very petty, and she and her staff do not foster the educational environment they claimed to when I got hired in not even 8 months ago!
