Did you say no to him yet? If not, go ahead and say "No". After that it is sexual harassment. The workplace is bound to protect you by law. Do not pay heed to the gun carrying advice if your workplace or state don't allow it. You will land in jail for that. Get into a self-defense course. You may have to get a restraining order from a court and pay some money for that. This man is crazy bonkers. You don't need him in your life. He should not even be a nurse.

And that is the story.

Love your attitude and grit. This is what I needed.

Thank you for the kind comment. I cannot even think of taking out a loan at this age. It will all come out of pocket. I already retired and draw SS. But I quickly realized retirement is not all it is made out to be. I feel devalued and unfulfilled without my professional role. But am I being a delusional old fart?

Hello all! I have been accepted to a NP Program. Problem is, I am in my late 60s with lots of misgivings. Is it wise for me to blow up savings going to school at this age? Is it wise to spend the few working years I have left, going to school? How will an aging brain, knees, hips and ankles take it?

My assessment is that OP being a new nurse is likely spending more time trying to find fault with the practice of others, rather than on learning the art, which is her major job at this stage of career. She is a novice. She needs to improve her own practice rather than tell everyone else how to improve theirs. How does she even know they are cutting corners when she is still learning the lay of the land. How does she know how to bring systemic improvement when she herself is at the stage of learning individual tasks. Getting fired by two jobs for the same behavior is a red flag in itself. I think she needs to concentrate more on her performance rather than that of others.

Using common sense usually catches calculation errors. If you have to give an unusually high amount of any medication, step back. Take a deep breath, then take a fresh look at things.

What I am saying is, it is your duty as a nurse to speak up for your patients. It never sits well with management. They shot you down one time. They will again. if you insist on doing the right thing they will destroy your career. if you want to survive in nursing learn to mind your own business. If you want to do the right thing, be prepared to pay the price.

You have been warned. That is what nursing is about. Get into a PT or OT or Radiology program and work with decent human beings p.s.: Keep the mouth shut if you are not in the inner circle

If you are sure if termination, resign first. In that way you will not have termination on your record. Find a job that fits your needs and tell them you were stressed out by ... Calling in and FMLA are dysfunctional ways of dealing with work stress. You need to plan your future. It is also dishonest to abuse FMLA for non-FMLA uses. It screws it up for genuine cases. Also, it will make your boss lose respect for you. Don't expect a good reference. You need to talk to a career counselor, or just any counselor.

So you want the night pay and day work or not at all. FMLA, though taken in the wrong context here may kick the can down the road and buy same time. You will then caime back and face the same question again. Plan your career so you won't have to play this game again.

What is their starting salary? I have been offered high 20s for triage which I can get+- at the grocery store.

Us? Do you represent a clique or group or establishment? Am I missing something? Is this High School where the inner circle thinks they are it?
