Commuter is right. A lot of it depends on the state too, though. In Indiana, for example, if you are termed for a patient care issue, or sometimes even things like time management, charting issues,...
Agreed ^. I am confused as to how you didn't chart for two weeks on anyone.... As a nurse, you are responsible for charting in real time (rule of thumb is at least same day). If you weren't able to...
I also struggled with Math during my degree. My advice is when it comes time to enroll in algebra, take an online course. Many advisers will say to stay away from online Math, but for me it helped....
Okay, I understand what you are looking for now. I can still help you with this. One of my instructors sat and still sits on the Indiana State Board of Nursing. I have been to multiple hearings....

This thread has gone completely off topic.... There will always be discrimination. It is unfortunate and I don't condone it, but it will always be there. Once we accept it and stop taking things so...
" I would think the female OB nurse who didn't think I belonged on the floor was discriminatory." The female nurse is absolutely discriminating. I don't know why your instructor didn't find someone...
You really don't have any options. Either way you have to respect the patients wishes. If it bothers you, talk to your supervisor. Having said that, it is just part of being a male nurse. I don't...
