Hi all, just need to get this out there. Would a principal that instructs you to do things against Scope of Practice ---- or one that tells you to look the "other way" when you see things that could potentially harm a very medically fragile child -- cause you to resign? I have a situation that, despite trying to state the facts, the direction I've been given is not ethically sound for an RN -- I was told to "get over it". I've shared other such situations with administration. I will not ever compromise my license, or more importantly, the safety of a child in my care. I would appreciate feedback.

Thanks for all of the great posts above on this topic. I am an RN (Associates degree) and have an interview today in a LTC facility. I have gotten the same attitude from other nurses I work with. I, too, have gotten to that fabulous, freeing point in your life where you don't care what others think! I do what is best for me, with what I've got presented to me at the time. I would love to care for the elderly.....we have a lot to learn from each other:) Thanks for all of the great comments.....very inspiring way to start my day!
