1. Manager Falsified my initials

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tanisha Hill's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Your initial question to her was actually addressed to ALL of them. The 3-way meeting was probably to make sure there was no retaliation against you, considering the legalities that are involved. Keep...

2. Quitting a New Job

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to desandseek's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Harassment takes on many forms, direct and indirect. If the OP witnessed the slapping and was offended by it, it is considered harassment. It is no different than overhearing a heavy sexually...

3. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   @londonflo, in my 35-yr nursing career, I’ve never had an issue with a lab tech/MT/phlebotomist. I’ve even made a point (as a 20+ year night shifter) to collect my own 0600 PTTs and troughs just...

4. Working as a CNA while in school??

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to CoffeexScrubs's topic in General Students

   Smart plan! Not only are you building a resume, you also have your foot in the door, which should make it easier to secure a licensed

5. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   I didn’t say the OP needed to know any of what we do. My point was that an assumption was made and 80% of the RNs were tried and found guilty by the OP based on that assumption. As busy as acute...

6. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   So you’re not a phlebotomist, but a MT. We are not phlebotomist, either, and blood collection was not and is not part of any nursing program. But this is a task that is expected of us should...

7. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   It would be interesting to know how you would know this as I’m pretty sure phlebotomist are not allowed to touch PICC lines. Could it be that your viewpoint is as it is because you are overworked...

8. Is this shady?

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lexus L.'s topic in General Students

   I would just move on to a program that has the proper accreditation if I were you...even if it means having to repeat a couple of courses. If you’re having this much grief on the front end, imagine...

9. Forgot to call doc after lab called

   NotMyProblem MSN replied to Brittney Johnson's topic in First Year After Licensure

   This is relatively minor. However, other lab results may require immediate attention, so try to get in the habit of calling the physician/provider as soon as you take the call to get that off you....

10. How do you know when you've found your niche? Unhappy with nursing in general

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    It took me 35 years and I can honestly say that I love my job and it is more of the team that I work with, including the doctor, than the area. It’s DEFINITELY NOT the patients or leadership,...

11. Hard Decision

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SouthSectional's topic in General Nursing

    Former traveler here. What they said!! Let me just add that as a traveler you’re almost guaranteed to get THE worst of the worst patients on the unit. Either stay where you are, or apply for a...

12. Patient Abandonment

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This idiot fired himself! As I was reading this, I was thinking he was gonna be found somewhere with at least a half-a**-believable lie. But the dumb*** told the truth!! He must have been one of the...

13. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    I’m pretty sure ‘they’ already know. But yes, it should be reported...without fear of retaliation...or flat

14. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    It was an HCA. And since I regifted it within the same year (every single penny), they could not legally report it as income given to me. Believe me, I was definitely waiting on the W-2, with an...

15. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    I wish there was a way of alerting new nurses that if they are offered sign-on bonuses for nurses with ZERO experience, it is most likely a place they’d want to avoid! It isn’t like they were so...
