I understand completly about leaving employment d/t unethical conduct, however has that ever caused you difficullty in finding another job( having job hopped- so to speak) ?

Well said!

Brown eyes Sorry to say i am no longer at my previous job. I hope you did'nt fax anything there, because i would'nt have got it. Sorry for the inconveinence.

If you have accsess to a Social Worker they are wonderful keepers of resources, and could give you names of agencies for the visually impaired that you could search for teaching tools. For example The lighthouse for the blind, or you could try the A...

Is a care attendent the same as a cna? I feel for you! I have had similer experiences with cna's. I know its not easy but all you can do is remain calm and professional, and stand your ground! It sounds that she is insubordinate to you. I would defin...

Are you union? I would like to learn more about this. Care to share?

That's what I thought too! Ha Ha

I was working in the nicu when we had a threat of a tornado. Some Nurses got pulled to go to a sister hospital in town to assist in the disaster plan. When all was over one of the nurses returned with this story: She was assissting the nurses in givi...

Can you please fax me too any thing you can about documentation. I need help. I e-mailed you but if it doesnt work my no. is 940-686-2323 Attenion Jenny Thanks a bunch :rotfl:

Maybe you all can shed some light on this subject? Situation: A R.N. is scheduled to work double week-ends at a Nursing Home. She is informed that her Certified Medication Aide has a flat and is about an hour away and has to wait for the auto club to...

Both nurses quit this eve without notice. I' ll be working doubles this week-end after working 60 hours this week. ugh :angryfire It's tough doing the right thing and trying to hold nurses accountable for their actions.

Try and get them to understand that!!!! That's what this is all about, that they feel that its unsafe without them. I agree but i cant get Nurses to work without them. I spend a great deal of time educating the CMA.s but I fully agree with you.

Just got a phone call from both nurses who quit effective now due to duress. Its late fri eve and now I have doubles x 2 sat and sun to cover. :angryfire Unreal!

Actually, I was in the bldg on that morning, working in Medical Records and I left aprox 10 am and saw both Nurses before I left and they informed me that the med aide had not arrived yet but would be there when she got the tire fixed. Not one of t...

You are sooooo Right! It seems that everytime I don't I live to regret it.

Thanks for that! The Nurse continued to shout at me and stated that I promised her a Med-aide every week-end. That was my response too. I can't guarentee anything. Life Happens.

I take it you don't work in Nursing Homes? 20 patient's per Nurse is a light case load. Most Nursing Homes have 30-35 pts per Nurse in my area. I wish the ratio was different but given the current practice our home has the best because were a small f...

Thanks for the sound advice, I plan on meeting her in the morning before her shift starts to discuss these concerns. I'm sure it won't be civil as she was yelling at me on the phone and ultimately hung up on me.

Thanks for responding, I agree.

:) Ever think of week-end doubles?

Bagernurse, Thanks for responding. I am the DON in this story and at my wits end! The R.N. works double week-ends 6am-10pm sat&sun on the Baylor plan (32for40) I did review "safe harbor" and your response was my interpretation as well. I tried to...

Congratulations!!!!!!!
