    How would you handle this?

    This CNA needs to be put in her place. I hope my relatives do not end up with someone with her caring for them. And as for her questioning you, well she really needs to be put in her place. I agree...

    Groped on the job...

    Tony, you did the right thing, but I am shocked that the hospital would just reasign him. (kind of reminds me of what the Catholic church does to the inappropriate priests). My concern is that he...
  11. From what I understand, you applied for and were working and functioning as a unit clerk, doing paperwork and such. And now your facility expects you to function as an aide. You did not apply for a...

    funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    Believe me no one heard me laughing either. I think I did say that I went into the charting room to laugh. And I did have to tell them that he had died and believe me I was not laughing or smiling....

    funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    I think as nurses we have a morbid sense of humor that helps us deal with stressful situations. It makes horrible situations easier to cope with. Thank you Supr-rn for coming to my defense. Of...

    When did you take off for maternity leave?

    If you have the luxury of taking 6 months to a year off before going back to work, then it should not matter if you take off a month or two early. if yours is the second income, then by all means,...

    Now I am really questioning nursing

    As a whole, we are a cynical bunch. But every once in a while, you get a patient who tells you something really nice, that you helped them get through a difficult situation. You come into the room and...

    Bizarre, Odd or just plain Gross Patient Habits.

  21. But I have to ask why the RN preset 5 narcotics? They have to be signed out so she had to be in the narc drawer, right? a pattern has been established. I agree, that whole thing sounds very fishy....
  22. she said,Oh my God I put five Oxycodone instead of 5 phenobarbs in the cup. What was done to her? sounds like her med error, not yours. Hope they are giving her the same or worse treatment. The meds...

    Drug Users in the hospital

    And I don't buy that "the drug makes you do it" It is a lifestyle choice, and it is very easy for an addict to place blame somewhere else. There are a lot of people on medications that are not by...
