   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   I understand that view point. But I also don’t believe this is the way this particular unit is. I wasn’t entirely antisocial and I made sure to offer help when possible to not just other nurses...

2. Struggling with anxiety at new job

   nursehaley91 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So, I’m currently doing some self reflection. I have recently switched back to agency nursing after my recent fiasco of losing my job (see previous post for more details.) I used to feel so...

   The last facility I worked at, we had an individual who was not a nurse, CNA, or management in a medical department walk around every morning during AM med pass and check that oxygen tubing was...

4. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   I would have to do some hunting at headquarters because I wouldn’t even know who to initially speak with. My administrator is more than aware considering she was on the conference call to terminate...

5. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately in our facility only one nurse needs to sign for a non narcotic medication. There was a nurse near me while pulling the medication (and I can tell you the exact conversation we had ABOUT...

6. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   The one thing that I will always stand by is doing what’s right. I’m saddened and angered by the fact that I was terminated for what I feel like was advocating for my patient and their safety and...

7. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely no harm was done (because they received the medication). I am trying to keep it vague but it was a medication that was initiated prior to further testing being completed, once testing was...

8. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   I’m unfortunately learning this lesson the hard way. I liked to believe that because abuse is such a serious thing and it is drilled into our heads how serious reporting is from day one that this...

   nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, I definitely don’t want my job back. At best I really just want a neutral reference and not to be blacklisted due to the repercussions it could have moving forward. It in all reality I’m...

10. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    As I had stated before, I had another job lined up. I didn’t believe anyone was aware of it but I could (and more than likely am) be wrong. As far as concrete proof, I have significant proof...

11. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not interested in unemployment. Thankfully I already have another job lined up (I did prior to being terminated) so I’m not out much financially. My biggest concern is in the long term and my...

12. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I certainly hope so too. I was definitely loyal to a facility who didn’t give a care in the world about me. It’s been a lesson learned. I’m just hoping they don’t damage my...

13. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    I genuinely wish we had a union. Unfortunately the few times we have tried to unionize have failed. I suspected from the time I reported it that it wouldn’t fair well for me but I owed it to my...

14. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    I actually was in the process of switching jobs when this happened. As soon as the crap hit the fan I was job searching and had another job lined up. My notice was going in the day I was terminated...

15. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

    I’m definitely keeping any postings on social media to a minimum. Also what I have posted I tried to keep as vague as possible while still getting my point across. I feel very strongly that this was...
