    Humiliated and scared

    Excellent advice. Also I would ensure that all this testing they demanded would be billed to the hospital if it wasn't...you may not win, but all you needed to do was prove you weren't intoxicated in anyway. I would also ask the lawyer if you can sue...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Floyd, have admit here, you sound a little nuts. You went to the ER you work at, was able to not get yourself fully triaged (cause it sounds like IF you were the average Joe coming in off the street you would have been a far higher level of care than...

    ASSume

    Nope. And that is all she really needed to say. "I'm sorry, there is no one to send to assist you, is there any other way I can help.” And I would have been like "no, thanks for checking.” Because having no staff I'm use to. Getting things done as "b...

    ASSume

    ? I do hope you read that the term you in my response was a generalized you and not intended to be personalized? You as in any person, not you a poster. I am not angry. I will not tolerate lies and disrespect regardless of the title or alph...

    Also, respect goes both ways. She didn't throw a cuss word at me, but condescending statements don't require cuss words to be just as disrespectful as a cuss word. Just because I called out her *** behavior using an actual cuss word does not make her...

    I have been able to walk out off a job twice with no notice, and get another one within a week without any issue and telling them that I walked off. Everyone is so desperate for nurses that you barely need a reference.

    ASSume

    Today I asked for help for my clinic. My normal supervisor and manager weren't in. So I sent my request up the chain because we are like a week behind. Management came back with a "I need to delegate better, you have plenty of staff today" ...

    When you literally can't keep up.

    I'm okay with wrath. The next job is always a few days away if necessary. Thanks for this.

    When you literally can't keep up.

    I think Time Management is such a funny term. Mostly because it assumes that there is time available for me to manage something. My current rock and hard place is this clinic I work at. It is my first clinic position and I overall enjoy it more th...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    Yes, I do that too. I' m just tired of the Poole who are suppose to be able to provide problem solving skills and guidance being less experienced than me. But I sure as *** don't want to be a manager. They are abused more than staff, and for what? A ...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    That's what I think, but manager said greater liability in documenting it in the MAR under administration even with the comment. I guess I can just put it in a note....surely some other *** will have a problem with that. 🙄
  12. So let's say a doctor put in an order for a med. Tells you he gave the med and please document. I document that the provider states he administered this medication. I have tried not documenting it and then billing comes back and says they can bill...

    Kids and working 8-5pm

    So my surgery clinic position is 8-5pm. We hypothetically get a lunch. I say "we", but it is just me and an LVN 20-30 patients a day total spread across 8 different surgical specialties. I also have a 3 year old and am the breadwinner for m...

    Overly sensitive, or bullying/inappropriate behavior?

    Nursing is not a flexible job. It is a great misfortune that businesses try to call themselves "family", I believe this leads to a great misunderstanding between employees and employers. But this is mostly for the benefit of employers, would you be l...

    Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

    I'm sorry if you felt my response was anger at you. I'm not angry with you or the dedication you had for your job. I'm just angry in general at the poor work conditions apparently managers and staff have in healthcare. No job is worth one's family ti...
