    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    I have no liability insurance, so there's that. *I* feel that *I* would respond better to *I* statements, as opposed to *you* statements. The "Employer abuse" part was enjoyable, yet also...

    As for the warrant, I'm sure your time will come. When I got up this morning, I had no idea @Davey Do would arrest me. Say, Davey, didn't Clark (from your Disrespect and Profanity thread) end up...

    Need your opinions on reporting nurse for drug abuse

    sideshowstarlet replied to fyi2600's topic in Psychiatric

    Just report the work issues that you observe. Leave out the bit about marijuana. If she does indeed have a friend who can provide urine, the drug use would be difficult to prove. The way she interacts...

    Don't forget I also committed the heinous act of quitting from not one, but two, units. At this point, I've stopped being a repeat offender. I'm now in "Career criminal"

    @Davey Do, That Dr. J. story was totally unexpected and entertaining. Was the woman you would never cheat on Belinda? Or did you meet her later? As for your Dr. N. story, how did such a drama...

    @Davey Do, I've gotten so cynical lately that the only thing that surprised me about your post is that a dysfunctional hospital actually fired a provider who did not practice in accordance with the...

    I always enjoy your posts. I did find what you wrote before the quoted section very interesting. However, I wanted to make sure to highlight this last part. As a longwinded writer, I can relate to...

    You're exactly right! Like I said, you're amazingly perceptive. I was about to armchair diagnose this educator with Borderline Personality Disorder, but your ability to get to the heart of the...

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    It always seems like the people who would be good managers turn down managerial positions. I would probably like nursing a lot better if I was old enough (and living in the right place) to be a new...

    @Davey Do Seriously, come to New England, use my badge to disguise yourself as me so you can get in, and perform a hostile takeover of the in-and-out patient behavioral health unit. You wouldn't...

    Wow! You are amazingly perceptive! I don't suppose there's any chance you'd like to take over the Behavioral Health unit here? Hours are generally 8-9 am to 4-5

    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    sideshowstarlet replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... For that to happen, they would have to give a specific date and time when they would want the badge drop-off to occur. And be a lot more organized in general. I love that you took the...

    @Davey Do Well, the supervisor did say to drop it off at the main entrance. But: 1. When would the screener have time to walk the badge over to HR? 2. Would the screener even be allowed to...

    I hope that Belinda is doing well. It feels like I know both of you in real life from your many posts. Take care!

    Thanks! I do like New England. I'm in New Hampshire now, and I enjoy hiking around town, even if the hospital system sucks. My internship is in Western Massachusetts. It's paid, which is hard to find...

    You're probably right about them probably finding a way to complicate my life further. After all, their behavior after I resigned from the Behavioral Health Unit would suggest that they enjoy...

    I remember lurking on this post ages ago! I never did leave a comment, though. I love the idea of a cardboard coffin. Nice and biodegradable! Without the identification provided by your ID...

    I understand that the pay structure is different for outpatient psych vs inpatient (I.e., outpatient gets paid less), but it's a little ridiculous to have an outpatient RN with no real orientation...

    @Davey Do Thanks, Davey! I meant to actually leave a comment on that post, but my dentist's office had a scheduling snafu and asked if I could come in an hour earlier than scheduled. So, I was...

    LOL! After 10 months of their bull crap, I kind of enjoyed taking it easy and meandering my way to my point. At least my post title (unlike the hospital's job title of Outpatient Behavioral...
