I think that nurse didn't recognize that she should have kept quiet about the statistics of blood pressure, heart rate. She isn't wrong about her concern, but should have told the doctor out of the...
You did not do anything wrong in sending that person out. However, I think you should have called the emergency contact earlier to let them know that so and so was being sent out. The hospital is not...
I am in need of advice for those in travel nursing and whatever else two cents anyone wants to say. It has been going okay, but now I wonder how to proceed. I am waiting for an all clear as I sent...
An infection does cause blood sugar to go up in diabetics and the fact her body is not responding to the change in the insulin regimen could be a lot of things. Resistance could be developing already...
You made the mistake to bring your child to meet a patient that you had contact with during your clinical. You did not see the harm in it, but you probably broke the program rules about bringing...
I understand your concern about privacy and information that could unintentionally get out. I believe the nurse was giving you the information that he or she thought would help make it easier for you....
We need seasoned nurses so if its not breaking any rules of protocols, let it slide. We have things to contribute to our teams and each other. I have learned that we can offer each other support and...
I appreciate everything you all have said. With a bit of thinking, I will keep this job on my resume to reduce the time gap but the question is how to answer the question why I don't work there? My...
You did the right thing. As soon as you took over her patients, they became your patients so you did your assessment and advocated for that person. So she had no right to go ballistic on you for...
I agree with what others have said. Now you now and you gave way too much time notice. Calling in sick or saying you had a family emergency would have been better. Do not worry and you'll get...
I don't think people appreciate honesty all the time and if it is not what they want to hear... well they respond back. I know I am certainly not perfect and whatever you have to say, its better for...
If they want to find a way to get rid of you... they will. Stand your ground and you do not have to explain into detail why you cannot change that shift you have been working. The new hire cannot just...
Thanks tiffprit... this may be a blessing in disguise even though I certainly do not feel that way right now. All I know is I will get something else and it will be
I think that employers are changing a little bit on the dress code. I personally don't mind tattoos on a person, but if you have a tattoo on your neck and many piercings... people will judge. Even if...
I don't like gossip but I do like to know heads up of potential things that could affect me like coworkers who would say something about you in a heart beat. But to gossip about people I wouldn't do...
Keep it up and you are doing well. We all struggle with things and pat yourself on the back for this. You can do this and whatever works for you, keep it up! You are a good role model for being able...
I don't know if telling the family member that was a good idea. Even though you got report from the nurse, it doesn't mean you say it to the family member. Is there documentation to say that pt had...

You did good and people do not always want to be identified as a doctor when you call them especially for something that happened to their loved one or related to them. The fact he or she was really...
Yeah, I do not know if this is a good offer. Its a lot to take on and you don't get paid extra for being on call 24/7? How are you going to have a life and not feel like you left something out or you...
You did the right thing and stood your ground. You advocated for the child and don't worry about the paramedic, there will be a few like that who will be that way. There are seasoned paramedics that...
Thanks Ned for your input I really appreciate it and everyone else who has put their two cents. I don't know what to say right now as nobody even called or anything, but to be on the safe side I won't...
So you guys are right. I am not even going to put this company down as I got no call and now am terminated. I haven't been with them for even a year. I have references from my previous employer that I...
I should add that I have not been booked for another assignment since. And thanks NedRN I will consider what you said. It has only been a short period with this agency so yes I will move
Thanks for telling me that. I just feel like I was treated as a disposable person and the lying I feel is wrong. Now I am just updating the resume and going forward. What I do not understand how can...
