Ethic Dilemma - Doctors that should retire
I talked with CNO. I don't know what happened behind the scenes but a replacement was hired and the cognitively impaired doctor eased into retirement. It takes a couple of months for these delicate situations to be resolved. I'm sure they will appreciate your discretion and your efforts in the meantime to protect the patients.

Ethic Dilemma - Doctors that should retire
The anesthesiologist is responsible for MAC. Do write an adverse event report about anesthesia awareness listing any contributing factors. Risk management will light a fire under your management. I was in that position last year. Tread lightly because admin does not want it to be common knowledge that there is an incompetent MD on staff.

Forward it to your private email account. I would suggest having IT track her hospital internet use. IT can limit access to just the intranet in the triage area. Ask for CCTV. If there already is CCTV well there's your proof.- Why are so many nurses against unions?

Ignore the critics who have no clue what it would be like to have 24 medically fragile patients.- Given bad report all the time.
If a coworker programs the kangaroo pump for 70 q 20hrs instead of 70/hr management needs to provide corrective action.

No one trusts a gossip either.- When a pt "gets" to you
"If she were my Mother I would understand that her nurse has five other patients who are just as sick and that she is doing the best that she can." Sometimes you have to keep it real. If you spend an excessive amount of time with a patient they will expect constant attention and impose on you for trivial matters. Be respectful but do not socialize. Work efficiently so that they have realistic expectations of your ability to spend time with them. This is self preservation and teaching people how to treat you.- Bernie Sanders gets NNU nod

Home health and or hospice, with a goal of a case management or middle management within that agency is a viable career path for a new grad. Especially one with anxiety and panic attacks.- When the Hospital Fires the Bullet
Every violent and unarmed ED pt that I have ever seen will get themselves together immediately when faced with a growling barking K-9 dog. This is in my opinion the safest way to deal with an unarmed person who poses a serious threat. These people were well behaved if there were any subsequent visits. - workplace harassment..help?
