workplace harassment..help?
Okay, so dont judge me on this...i just want some feedback. Back in october, a co-worker and I had a little bit of an "encounter" if you get my drift....ive worked there 1 year, hes worked there 25+ years, and apparently has a repuation of doing this with other nurses... So long story short, word got around our floor what had happened, and he became furious...(thats an understatement...) So pretty much every day he goes into my directors office and tells her something i did wrong (which i didnt do) and she believes him! he is trying to get me fired.... its a daily occurance that i get pulled into her office and scolded for something i did ( really didnt do). he even went to the point to call a HIPPA compliance hotline on me and report me for talking about a patient in the lobby (which yet again i didnt do) and I ended up getting a FINAL WRITTEN WARNING for this. every day i am walking on eggshells at work and i cant get away from him. we both work same weekends, steady nights. I tried to transfer to another floor and i couldnt because of my final written warning. what do you guys think i should do about this? this is absolute harassment...and no dont tell me "you shouldnt sleep with a coworker because i already figured this one out..." & yes we do have a union but i dont know if i should get them involved... HELP!

What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?
I once had a patient ask me if i was their nurse. i said yes, and he looked at me with this quizzical look and said "i dont know how because i thought nurses had to be skinny!"

Got written up AGAIN
so you are saying call and wake up the doctor for an order for a straight cath at 4am? the other shifts could have AT LEAST called and gotten an order. I worked 11-7 at a LTC facility and the RN/LPN was in charge of 98 patients. rediculous. id quit too!

First Med Error... Learned Big Lesson
our techs arent allowed to do vitals at all because of this reason. the glucometers we have automatically put them into the computers as soon as they are taken so thats no biggie. i could see why you'd be worried:***:!!!

Central line dressing days
we used to change ours on fridays but i guess none of the nurses could do it correctly and there were too many infections so the IV team has to do it from now on!!!
