RUN!!!!!! No need in putting your hard work and license on the line for it

I have to say I totally agree. I was hired at a LTC I was given 5 days of orientation. Two of those days my preceptor was sick. There for 3. I had the hall I was on which was the highest acuity hall for two whole shifts alone and was trying to get ...

I have been a nurse for 10 years now...I don't know if its bc I am getting older or just the way healthcare has become. I am actually scared to get a job doing something I love. I have always knew I wanted to be a nurse I have achieved my dream but...

I have heard nothing else from it so no news is good news. I was so upset because they did that to me but I have now decided that God was looking out for me according to some of the horror stories on LTC

They also said I took a blood sugar late. It was my second day on the hall I didn't even have time to learn the patients well. I didn't feel that it was fair, but the more I see on the LTC posts the better I feel that it was in my best interest and...

That is why I went straight to my doctor I don't do drugs anyone that knows me knows that

Thanks guys I knew I didn't have anything to worry about

I totally understand what u r sayin. I Thank God I was fired last week for a supposed positive THC drug screen I went to my physicians office within 30 min of being dismissed and paid for a drug screen myself which was negative! Of course then it was...

I am a nurse and have 10 years of experience in several different areas of nursing. My favorite is Psych. I have 5 yrs of psych experience. I am having a hard time finding a job in my area. I never thought I would ever have trouble finding a job ...

you did the right thing. I worked at a LTC facility at one time. I worked on a vent unit which consisted of 24 vent dependent patients most of which had GTs and it was myself two CNA's and a Resp therapist. I understand what you are talking about ...

vivitrol is a new im med that is used to control the craving for etoh. i have only had to inject it one time but it was extremly thick almost like ativan. use a 20 guage 2" needle to inject it deep into the dorsogluteal muscle. i have heard good t...

I work in psych and I deal with patients like this on a daily basis. Most of the time when they don't get what they want when they want they tend to act like a 4 year old. Mostly because that is how they have gotten thier way for so long, what you ...

That is not that unfamiliar in the psychiatric setting. We give 1000 mg at times. If we could only get it in a form of an injection which they are currently working on to giv IM for patients that are out of control and unable to be redirected. I thin...

how about the grandmother saying "when i had her, i was in labor for 100 years" of course i am exagerating the time frame, but they always want to tell thier stories about labor. i have another one, the patients dad, not babys dad, doesn't want to...
