Sorry it's been a few days since I've logged on. But I'm now working 11 to 7 shift at my facility. It's not going so great. I get this weird feeling that people are watching me and judging me based upon what had happened. My reputation has been destroyed by this so called accusations. I do believe that it was retaliating against me. Honestly I'm just living it all behind and looking else where for a new job and fresh start. Somehow this kind of situation really puts you down, quite depressing to be honest. But I keep reminding myself of what kind of person I am, and why I chose to be a nurse. Also Idk who to contact for advice.

She very upset at me due to fact that I didn't let her slide by not doing her work. It's just amazing that a person would go to that length over something that shouldn't have been done from the start

No she has been the person in my whole professional career to say something like that about me

A female nurse accused me of threatening her and ultimately I was suspended with pay. The crazy part about this situation is that this nurse worked with agency and was mad at me for turning her in for not doing doing any treatments or charting. In the end I still have my job, but what do you guys think of this.

Thank you, I've actually moved on, ultimately my employment was terminated. But I look st this situation as learning experience. But what's odd is that I had such impact on my patients that are still asking for me even when it's been a month since I ended my employment.

Hi so here's my situation I work for a ltc facilty as a LPN. I received my license back in June of 2016 but didn't start practicing until mid July of that same year. I've worked long term and acute rehab and find that Ltc is what's best for me. Ok, so here is to what happens daily at my job. There are two nurses mostly for the long term care side, each nurse usually has 26 to 28 patients daily. With saying that I the nurse am responsible for making appointments, consults, treatments, care plan meeting, pre-auths for procedures. All this is happening while doing day shift while finishing up Med pass that takes from 7:00 to around 11:00am with just two nurses. So with this being said I made a transcribing error for not removing a medication from a patient chart, first time written warning. Ok that's not to bad, no harm no foul, Pt was ok not adverse reactions. I understood my mistake and owned it. Now Fast forward to June of this month, another order i put into a patient mar for a consult for a podiatrist. I entered the order as podiatrist consult discontinue once scheduled. Ultimately the appointment was not gotten quickly enough. Patient is okay. So as of yesterday I brought in by my unit manager saying that she has concerns regarding my practicing as a nurse. She then brings up another patient that has dvt medical history and that is bed bound. With this patient she basically blamed me for all the problems that have been brought in by family. Stating that since I admitted her, it's my fault for her a having a pressure spot on her heel. Mind me when the patient arrived, I did her initial skin assessment, she had only to wounds which were vascular in nature. Sorry for rant, but with all this being said, i tried to explain to the unit manager that each shift has skin assessments that they due weekly and it happens so that this particular patient is an evening assessment and not day shift. The nurse who have been checking her skin didn't note the pressure on heel, this patient had been admitted for about a month. So I'm saying that any skin changes can occur within a whole month. Thru all this I was suspended with a second write up for days. Idk I feel so lost and re thinking my career as a nurse after all this. I care so much for my patients and it seems the more I do, the worse happens. ������.

Hi Apzy, I would say the nclex questions were a bit easier than the nclex mastery app. My only suggestion is that with Mastery app it gave you more knowledge based questions. While the nclex focused more on how effective and safe you are as a nurse. There were a few questions that I got asked that you definitely needed to know the norms such as lab values, disease processes,basic pharm know the ending and the common drugs used such metoprolol, pyredium, etc.... Basically just study all the main topics and if there is something you don't understand review topics and do QUESTIONS ALOT of them. And you should be fine with taking the test. Thanks michael lawrence LPN

You will do great just focus and go at a steady pace and thank you í ½í¸

I mostly used the nclex PN mastery app when ever possible and Saunders comprehensive review book questions about 1000 of those. And the q bank from ncsbn makers of the nclex. Overall the nclex felt like it was making sure you were being safe.

I would like to announce I took my Nclex PN June 29th, 2016 in Virginia and passed in 85 questions the first time. My advice for any students studying for the nclex, relax and learn the content everything else will come. Overall the test wasn't to bad, I actually thought my test from nursing school were harder. Wooohoooooo I'm finally a NURSE!!!!!

If the questions were getting harder that only means you answering correctly for that to happen, I'm wishing you luck!!!!!
