Definitely a Hippa violation and you are required to report it. She can take all of you down as colluding with her. Don’t you have to sign an oath or have training regarding this?

If you joined the army and are sent to a war zone you are putting your life on the line. And people can say you signed up for it. Also, you are given appropriate weapons. A nurse does not expect her employer to lock up up ppe and send you into a war zone putting you and your families lives at risk. I couldn’t recommend going into nursing due to how nurses are treated. Anyone who does go into nursing needs to understand by keeping their eyes open as students and joining nursing sites.

Think you were tested too early. You need a retest.

Do what will keep you safe and allow you to sleep at night. if you can get fmla go for it. If your hospital is treated you as if you are expendable go.

So, my overweight Doctor should not be allowed to work in healthcare? That is a load of bunk. there some jobs like dancers, playboy bunnies and stewardesses all have weight restrictions. also, weight restrictions to join the army navy and marines. i have seen plenty of overweight cops.

I had a gold plated stethoscope and a doctor also took it. My problem was that it was not engraved.

If it has come to physical symptoms with palpitations and insomnia I don't really see that you have a choice unless you can't get another job. There are some minorities who don't have your options and skills. They have to work cleaning bathrooms and doing other miserable jobs for minimum wage.and dealing with racist employers who don't care if they are sick or not. Or if they have a sick kid at home. They are talked to in a negative way. But they don't have a choice, you do. Start interviewing and find another job. You can always cite illness and the need to be closer to home. They don't need to know that the illness is yours. I dealt with this as a travel nurse but I knew I was only there for 13 weeks. I hope your coworkers are professional enough to have your back when you need help with a patient. I have worked with some real backstabbers in my time. I learned something from each situation and it has made me stronger. take a stand, talk with your family and get their support.

I did ask. The guy was really offensive. His language crude. He did what he wanted and he was quickly moved out for disturbing everyone in the unit. Some people every other word is a swear word. The doctor even talked with him about his behavior.

After the way Trump talks about minorities, you can't believe it? He is supported by bigots and racists. Small hospitals and businesses can have a pervasive atmosphere that is intolerant to minorities. They may accept minorities as janitors and maids and gardeners and usually they aren't seen. You have doctors and management who are all white and intolerant to minorities as nurses and doctors.

I did a travel assignment years ago in Florida and I was interviewed and hired over the telephone. There were no other minority nurses. When I went to pick up my keys they were so shocked. They were not friendly or especially helpful but being a travel nurse you didn't always get treated well. I was called the n word by a pt. it wasn't a friendly or welcoming atmosphere. I would not do it for a year. I would be seeking another job while still employed. If you felt the nurses would have your back during a crisis at work and treat you with respect it may be worth it, but if you are stressed or worried it may not be worth it. Minorities have a history of working under adverse conditions and rising above it. Unfortunately we still dealwith this. You can't change ignorant people. Good luck with your career, remember you do have choices.🤔

Get it in writing so you have proof. She won't do that.

I agree, I believe a nurse would give herself the drug and waste iv fluid. I would not put my name as a witness to a wasted narcotic that was cheating a patient. I worked with someone who was being monitored and she had a specific person assigned to her. if true this is a candy store with lots of temptations. Don't turn a blind eye, he should not be medicating your patients unless you are at lunch, etc.

No, it is a lot of work but doable. I worked part time and went to college full time. Sounds like you are smart enough to handle the work.

Yes, her supervisor was informed. No consequences so far.

:no:There was 3 nurses working, we take patients in rotation. I left the unit to transfer my patient to her room. Came back and charge nurse was having a tantrum in in unit in front of the patient, who was fresh from OR , crna and other staff. She said it is snowing and I am leaving. She just walked out and I ended up having to take her patient. This is not the first tantrum She has thrown at work. I feel there should be some consequence for this behavior. What are your thoughts?

Date of hire is not your start date. It has always been the first day of orientation. Date of hire as a start date and your first day as an employee can be months apart because you may have to wait for a spot in orientation.

Unless it is something black and white an d immediate safety is a concern you don't make waves while on probation. This is a way they use to see if you will fit in or be a "problem" and make waves. If it is a threat to your license with unsafe conditions you wouldn't want to work there anyway.

Auditing charts. It is what I did on a travel assignment.
