Really? I am in Tx, and if this is true then they are surely in violation. Nope, she is not a nurse at all nor is a physician on site. There are only 2 other LVNs and neither of them really even trained me. I was primarily supervised by a clerk...but clerical is pretty much all I was taught and allowed. Are there steps I should take with this coming to my attention?

That's too much craziness to face right out of school alone. I'm praying tomorrows interview goes well. Thank you, and I'm glad you got out! Gives me hope. Lol

Helps a lot! :) Thanks a bunch! Keeping my fingers crossed!

I'm a new nurse interested in home health. I have an interview coming up and I am curious what types of questions they will ask and what they might discuss. I'm so nervous! . Advice and guidance pleeaazz

I'm a newly graduated LVN just recently re-entering the work force after 2yrs away. So 3ms ago I started my very first nursing job :). I was excited! Well, it ended up being the worst experience as a new nurse job by far! I was one of only 3 nurses in the department and the head was not a nurse! In fact I began to wonder if she maybe hated nurses. She quickly began chipping away at my new nurse self esteem and informed me that its best if I don't think I'm all that. For the whole 3ms she basically had me as a front desk clerk as well as being trained by one. I was never put with the nurse to train other than here and there to administer Tb tests, never allowed to administer immunizations. I wad told I needed to learn the immunization schedule which I did..., was cool with coworkers...no problems noted. My 90 day mark hit and I am with out a job...? The first reason given was that I was not comfortable giving the injections (which I was never even allowed to give so idk how that judgement came about) and that I couldn't handle the children (bold faced lie...I have 2 very active lil ones of my own)...after I defended those two excuses I was given some bogus test over a catch up schedule concockted of made up questions by her about bs she knew I hadn't been trained or taught and deced to use it as why she couldn't keep me: my lack of knowledge on the "catch-up" immunization schedule. She (not a nurse I remind) seemed to make it a point to make me feel like I did not measure up and to her standards and said she only produces super nurses! Woww! She said, and I quote, "Anyone can give shots. I can go give shots all day." I don't kniw what to think nor how to feel about this nightmare. She has somewhat dimmed my excitement of getting out there. I have that feeling you get about driving after a bad accident. I'm there for another week because the lady over her likes me and wasn't fully on board with how she did things yet still lets her make the decisions in the department. Should I let this get to me? I have a gray cloud now... What are some of your thoughts?
