I would notify the MD whose name she is using....I sure bet he doesn't know how out of control this person is!!

I didn't even know you could get into NP school without some experience working as a nurse first?

I find this disturbing since I live in America where the language spoken is English.

As we are a very close group of girls who work well together, I walk into the nursery one evening and say, "what's up ******!" I then step a little closer and see a MD sitting around the corner charting. I was so embarrased I said, "omg I'm so sorr...

We had a 50 year old that our gyn doc admitted the night prior to surgery for a TAH because "she couldnt be trusted to stay NPO after midnight." He ordered a betadine douche to be given at HS. The pharmacy sent up a bottle of some betadine solution...

We now have to pick up 30 hours of on-call requirements every 4 weeks! I was wondering if other people have this crazy requirement. We are short staffed so we know that when we are on call that we will be working. I think that 36 hours a week is e...

What do you say during a job interview when you are asked why you are looking for a new job? For me, i just want to go from a "for profit" facility to a "not for profit" facility. Is that a good enough answer?

COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!

Well stated! Love this!

Well stated!!!!! Love this!

It was a TAH, and the doc that wrote the order was not on call that night so the nurse practitioner that was on delivering babies that night does not give orders on GYN pts.. I was the charge nurse that night but i was so busy! I had 2 baby's go bad ...

Our pharmacists do not come back in after they close. I got the bottle at 8 pm and i told them it wouldnt work...they said that was all they could give me.

I understand having to take call but maybe a 4 or 8 hour shift a month, but they are using an on call person who already works full time and filling in scheduling holes and not hiring more people.

I would not take it personally, but welcome any orientation i could get! Sounds like you are doing great!

Holy crap! That is crazy!!!! You should have 3 couplets at the very most 4! NO TECH? Thats like 10-12 pts! We have to chart, weigh babies, do pku's, get c-sections up, meds, teaching, breastfeeding assistance, more charting, call md's, not to ment...

what you are experiencing is not uncommon. You will get the hang of it. Everything is brand new and please do not be so hard on yourself. 7 days is not long enough for a new graduate. hang in there! :)

i don't know where your from but I don't make $50k a year to start much less after 17 years.

I am also tired of begging for adequate staff! They staff based on numbers and not acuity. I'm tired of being a nurse, secretary, tech, respiratory and whatever else all at the same time while still being yelled at because i forgot to do chart chec...

while i appreciate my CNAs, housekeepers, and food service people, I am still responsible for several human lives during the course of my shift and they are not.

It is very exciting most of the time! It is a lot of teaching. We have a lot of teen moms, drug addicts, and sad social situations as well. We take care of mom and baby usually up to four couplets. I work nights so my favorite part is working the...

holy crap! that IS scary!!!!

It has been said that our hospital will start offering our moms night nursery care for their babies but they will have to PAY EXTRA!!?? Does anyone else find this extremely insulting? If I was told this when I was exausted at 2am when I wanted a br...

Actually, we don't have a nursery now so it is mandatory that everyone keeps their baby. I am all for it actually. However, I do not want to be stuck in the position where I have to tell people who are unable to afford this "upgrade" that the nurse...

This is for overnight nursery care and is payable upfront, not billed to insurance. They are just trying to make a buck and they said so. I don't see how they can get by with this since the nursery will be staffed anyway. I am stuck in the dilemma...

WOW!! I am speechless.
