a girlfriend of mine works in a nursing home as an lvn. long story short, during a change of shifts, she discovered that a pt was given double dosage of dilaudid by a fellow nurse. when she confronted the nurse, the nurse just told her not to worry about it and to just sign for the dispensed med. my friend being an 'honest nurse', reported the incident to the don. now, she's in hot water with the assistant don as well as the other nurses who have been there longer than she has because she 'broke the cycle'. during a meeting, the adon verbally threatened to get her fired (in front of the other nurses) if she bypasses her and goes straight to the don with another problem. btw, the nurse at fault resigned and was never reported to the board. incidentally, another nurse blurted out during a meeting that this has been going on for a long time. there had been other incidents of negligence by other staff members, not to mention the harrassment she's personally getting from them. what would be the best way to report this problem so this specific nursing home can be fully investigated?

True, taking the exam would be the quickest way, but I wouldn't take it without actually reviewing. They have great NClex review books at the library or do what I did...I bought the book and did all the questions from every chapter. You can review all the systems without having to crack open your text books...not to mention it sharpens your test skills. Good luck! :icon_hug:
