Document and tell management.

Good god I swear you wrote that about my DON! She likes to pass on her responsibilities to someone else and never, EVER helps out when we are short. I won't even get into the inappropriate comments she's made to me in front of staff and patients alik...

Sounds like the dumb *** that is my DON. I won't air my grievances here, but let me just tell you I feel and understand your pain. It boggles my mind how some of these people end up in management. I know the type. Typically, they like to pass on thei...

No we're not all like that. I'm much happier interacting with my CNAs than I am with (most) of my fellow nurses.

No

F that. That's part of the reason I left private duty, not to mention it was boring. I'm not a maid, I'm not a chef, I'm not an entertainer, I'm not PT or OT, I'm not going to watch your other children, and I'm not a school teacher. I didn't put myse...

I loathe when they do this. It's so irritating. And then they get mad when you don't carry out the order. Well, a progress note is NOT an order. There is a huge difference.

You'll live.

Funny you say that. I work in a facility for men of a religious order.

What happened?

I feel your pain 100%. Unfortunately we live in a capitalist society where hardly anyone wants to help anyone anymore unless there's a benefit for them. It's nothing but office politics and bad attitudes now a days. I'm sorry you are going through th...

I've given up. I just do my job and go home. I no longer care what others are doing. I don't have the mental capacity or energy to care about it anymore.

Good lord. I'm not even going to add my two cents except to say at the LTC I'm at there's an RN who seems to be incapable of making decisions or getting orders put in correctly and is constantly asking the LPNs to do/fix things for her. I'm tired of ...

Don't *** where you eat

The bedside is horrible. You made and right decision to leave it.

LVNs cannot do anything with a picc line in California. I have no idea about other states though. This is fine with me though. I'd rather just have the RN deal with it.

Yes. I would never trust an NP that only had a few months of actual experience as a nurse before becoming an NP.

How come I can't send you a private message on here? Do you have them disabled?

Why are you still at this job? Your threads are always something negative about your job. What would you like us, strangers on the internet to tell you? We've given you advice numerous times. It's like you want us to give you permission to quit your ...

I'm amazed it took them this long to investigate all this. It's pathetic but I'm not surprised. My state board of nursing is pretty bad and do what I'd consider to do a subpar job. You email them asking for a specific question and you'll get a reply ...

Start looking for another job, secure one, and then give your old employer the finger. I wouldn't even bother giving 2 weeks notice as long as you have something secured. They're gonna back pedal on giving you the raise they said they would and you'v...

I mean....as long as you don't intentionally hurt or kill any of your patients then why not? There was that little girl in the Child of Rage documentary who had sociopathic tendencies who grew up to be a nurse and she's doing very well from what I re...

Misery.

Why are you still at this job? You're always making threads complaining about it. They say insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time. I'm sure you can find something else that'll give you w...

That would be a great opportunity for LVN's that want to work in a hospital. I personally do not want to work in a hospital. The more power to the rest of you LVN's/LPN's that do though! 😅
