Offer to tackle the IV & NG together after report

Met my husband at work. As a night nurse, breakfast dates are lovely! We still do that often.

If you call in according to policy guidelines, i.e. 4 hrs before shift, it's only your business what the reason is. That being said, sleep deprivation can impair judgment as badly as drugs or alcohol. If you make an error because you're overly tired, it will be said that you should have known better than to work in such a state.

I am an agency nurse. A hospital where I worked several months ago audited their computerized documentation system and found unauthorized patient access under my user ID. The agency called me this week and terminated me. I was also informed that I was "do not return" for the client hospital. I didn't do this. All I can think of is that I left my computer unattended, which is an error, but I didn't violate HIPAA. I don't know if I have any recourse in this situation or not.

4.0? REALLY? Spelling must not be emphasized at your college. Don't assume what the staff is doing at the nurses' station. You don't know what the rest of their shift has involved. I'm not staying over playing catchup because I was combing hair, etc. And I'm not doing it when I haven't been to the restroom all night. People are surviving illnesses and injuries that were fatal 10 or 20 years ago. As a result, our patients are much sicker, requiring more nursing care. CNA's are valuable, if only we have them. Often, they are 1:1 with confused patients, leaving the nurses with total care.
