Hello, My facility has a wound nurse three days a week but the only thing that bugs me is she only does a few treatments I'm guessing around less than 10 patient's total within those 3 days. She doesn't do any treatments such as skin prep or weekly skin assessments at all. I want to speak up as I'm sure this would be part of her job as a wound nurse but I wanted to get some opinions first.

If a med error occurred on a med that required both a Rn and a supervisor's signature and it wasn't fatal are both Rn's equally at fault? If one is reported should both of them be reported? Will a facility likely report for a no harm med error? Also is there a limit one can have on their license because I think I heard you can only have 3 but that seems crazy. I don't have any and I definitely don't want any.

Hello, I've been having trouble finding a job and need some kind of income because money that I have saved up is almost gone. I talked myself into applying for a major hospital system that pretty much dominates most of Pittsburgh, well they brought me in for an interview a few days ago and the manager had one more person to interview but said I pretty much had the job. Yikes it just now hit me that I don't think I want to work for them right now as a new nurse, when I do get the job offer if I turn it down would that be a reason for them to blacklist me for ever working for them in the future? If I go through their orientation that's a few weeks long and manage to work on the floor and decide it's not for me can I put in a two week notice or do you think they blacklist because it looks like you wasted their time? I'm just so upset about all of this and for some reason the thought of working there makes me depressed because I did most of my school clinical rotations there and absolutely hated that place. I know I shouldn't have applied but I couldn't help it and at the time I was just so depressed about finances and taking care of two kids with money that may last if I'm lucky for the next month... Any advice I would greatly appreciate it because right now life sucks and I feel so helpless with no way out...
