I have to admit this whole thing has thrown me for a loop as I am sure it has many of you. Yes I did the crime now I am doing the time. I have been clean for 3 years. I have been battling the board with my lawyer for three years. It came down to the ...

We all hear about Bullying. But what about Bullying in the workplace? I believe Nursing is notorious for Bullying in my own opinion. Why do I say that bc I have been Bullied in Nursing and it caused harm to me. The statement "Nurses eat there young" ...

No not ageist. I was not saying bullies were old nurses. They can be nurses wit ten years exoerience. I think you read that wrong. I do not like your comment

I am sorry you had to join us. It breaks my heart to hear this. You should have gone and did a urine screen anyways. And received a lawyer. Lawyers do help you and get you a deal to your best interest or maybe even prove the discrespency was wrong. A...

There are a lot of health care professionals who take opiates for chronic pain or benzos for chronic aniety everyday. They are not considered under the influence. I know many in pain management. It would be discriminatory if one were to be fired bc o...

I was curious to how many others suffer from Fibromyalgia. How do you manage it working full time. Have you had to quit a job that you loved for one that was less strain on your body. What jobs do you hold now that work well with your Fibro. And do y...

Here in Alabama the lead investigator will call and ask questions. If someone calls and asks questions do not tell them anything. Get you a lawyer who deals with Nurses. Be honest like you have here on this forum. Keep working! No one has to know tha...

your gonna be just fine. That is a load of crap and sounds like she was threatening you. Also look into the EEOCC and file a complaint too with them. That will definitely make it aware you did nothing wrong and will put the spotlifht on them and they...

Don't listen to this. It don't mean a hill a beans if you are a CNA before or not. It might help you learn bed/baths and butt wiping better but that's it. And as one stated above and I know that the university hospital is the same they like fresh peo...

I call every morning at 0400. and if I sleep thru I do it as soon as I get up. I am too paranoid not to call. But I did forget one Sunday. It was my first week of testing. But we do not do screens on Sundays. Just Mon-Sat. So I am not sure we are act...

$95 good grief. Mine are $68. where are you from? Well I guess that doesn't make a difference

Oh okay. I didn't see the part about correctional facility. It was kind of a long thread and I skimmed through. I give my apologies for saying that. It just was confusing at first like you said. But that makes sense being a correctional facility. I w...

I am confused. Because if you were pulling med from the pyxis and then your patient didn't want it and you cancelled it that should be fine. But how did you know they didn't want it when you were pulling that med? Because you would have had to have ...

This post is very very judgmental. You have no clue what those people go thru. Anxiety is mostly the reason they started using in the first place. And when detoxing the anxiety is unreal. so give them the meds who are you to say they can't have it u...

I am so sorry this happened to you. In fact it happens many of times. But what makes me shocked is you have never been in trouble before so why would this one time get you fired. Also do they monitor those phones with calls and recordings. Ask. It wo...

Welcome to the world of Nursing. Most are knocked down bc it was not what they imagined. 3 months a brand new nurse and burnt out already Maybe you should look into a diff degree than a BSN. All a BSN will do is help you with grad school. Also don't ...

Melatonin doesn't bc I take It just abt every night.

So benadryl does shoe up or it doesn't?

That's awesome! Good job! Maybe the HR thing is something all places have to do. Praying you get it and so well deserved. So happy for you!!!!!

Apply for anything bs everything. Not sure if your being picky to a particular job. Also is it possible that your references from your past job may be hendering you employment? I've seen it happen to people. All thouh they aren't suppose to get get r...

So I get a letter from the ABON stating there is an investigation into a probation violation that I have obviously done. I have not even been on probation over a month. I have done 6 drug screens all clean. I talked to my probation monitor lady on th...

Thanks weman81. And whew is right! And very manageable. I hate that I even got a letter like that makes you wanna vomit especially when you know you haven't done anything g wrong. I have been clean for 3 years now. Just starting the probation bc it t...

I would just call and ask. Don't tell them who you are just say is there a payment plan nurses can use to pay there fines. Which I'm sure there is bc it would be stupid to think we could pay it in one lump sum these days. Thankfully my father paid m...

Hang in there. There are people out there who are willing to give others chances. We all do wrong in life may it be big or small we all have done it. And someone tells you they haven't then they are lying to you and themselves. I have faith you will ...
