I don't go to work when I'm sick. That's it. You put yourself and the people around you in jeopardy of being sick as well. If I get written up because I called out sick, so be it. I have always thought it crazy, but hey, whatever you feel is best but...

Okay, I think we ALL have had that co-worker we don't like working behind but this is ridiculous! First off, if she is signing off on treatments that were not done you have a responsibility to report them. It isn't about " snitching" or getting peopl...

Seems a little harsh, but it appears we don't know the whole story. BUT! Why would they be documenting they did it when it wasn't done? That is an offense right there. I'm going with a disgruntled family member. Sad.

I agree 1000%!!! Unfortunately in the career field some think that we deserve NOTHING. That every thing is " part of the job ". Everyone deserves common courtesy and respect.

Thank you, which is the point I'm trying to address.

" Even though technically I was senior to them" therein lies the problem. Most of what I have read isn't really welcoming . Guess you all Forgot that Lpn/LVNS must study, sit boards and do clinicals. You

I honestly believe that one of the first things that NEEDS to happen is that LPN/LVNs need to be acknowledged as NURSES. We had to study, do clinical and sit boards just as our counterparts did.

You know what? I read this article and I am really slightly bothered at the tone of the article. Why is there ALWAYS the connotation that LPNs/LVNs are " less than"? I know many an LPN/LVN that have mad skills, and can work circles around anyone! Ye...

Whether she did violate HIPPA is suspect. There are some medical conditions that will appear to be alcohol intoxication. I think she should have just told the sherif about the odor of alcohol and let the sheriff take it from there.

I so totally understand how you feel! The culture of nursing is definitely a strange one, and is VERY clique oriented. Why I will never know, the CONSTANT arguing who is better- RN OR LPN, trainers being TERRIBLE to new nurses and orientees. The TOT...

After your training, will you have to see them again? Will they be a part of your day to day activities? If not, leave them where they are, rise above what they have and haven’t taught you and do your best. Folk like that just aren’t happy with thems...

Just an FYI on a few things 1. When you write something in quotes, it means you are repeating something someone said. It’s not used to “mock” someone at all! 2. WHENEVER you see a doctor’s order that seems unclear to you, get clarification a...

I am pretty much at the end of my steer. I did long term care for a few years but I’ve had enough. I took a gig with a nursing agency doing COVID screenings in the school system. BEST gig I have ever had! No bosses, no one yelling and being dis...

I agree with every comment! It’s a bait and switch and if you don’t stick to your guns, they will bounce you around to suit their needs. Soooo, no preceptors for day shift but they have one available for night shift? How convenient! My precious emplo...

Right! In fact they really don’t have. REMOTE clue.

“ no I’m not busy “

I have a question, what exactly were your expectations when you became a nurse? At some point in time I feel we all have been stressed beyond belief and have cried many a night wondering if we were in the right profession. I have been in the medical ...

While I respect your decision not to get vaccinated, you must understand that this is the world we currently live. As health care providers we all are required to take some type of immunizations. TB testing, flu vaccines, etc. Now, I will confess I w...

I have residents like these CONSTANTLY. One thing I will not/ do not tolerate is ANYONE being rude, crass, intimidating, to me or the staff, because it isn’t necessary. Most of the time it’s sort of a defense mechanic they use so they can have folk i...

You have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be embarrassed about! Hey you adapted to the situation and considering the alternative ( her urinating on herself) I think you did good. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission. Hold you held...

I agree with 1000%. I have been in the medical field since age 14 when I was a “ candy striper “ volunteering at a local hospital. I am not in my late 50’s. I pretty much have been there and done that, and I have become so disillusioned with nursing ...

Hmm, I really had to think of I was going to reply to this thread or not, but here it goes. I am in agreement with you that it isn’t any of your business, but maybe a kind word or a word of encouragement would have been enough? You aren’t there to g...

I pretty much agree with everything everyone else said. IF you have done EVERYTHING that you possibly can NEVER let family members make you feel guilty for ANYTHING!

Isn’t it interesting how they tell you NOT to come to work if you are sick, but when you ARE sick they want you to come to work? We aren’t super beings, we are human snd have emergencies just like “ regular” folk.

So you Basically gave them FREE labor…
