  2. *sigh* How Many Times a Week Do You Say No?

    bethin replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    After management called me 3 times in a 4 hour period, I told them explicitly to never call me on my day off again. I told them by doing that they lost their privileges with

  4. Need tips...meeting attorney re: pt liabilty case

    bethin posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a friggin' mess right now. Just got a call from HR requesting my presence next week to meet with an attorney. When I inquired further I was told a pt (or family) is suing the hospital and I'm...

  5. Need tips...meeting attorney re: pt liabilty case

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I think that the hospital's attorney did hide me during the discovery process. I spoke my piece and I spoke the truth. If she doesn't want to use me that's her decision. I would gladly go...

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    I went in for the official deposition and was told by the hospital's attorney to go home, she didn't want to use me. I reminded her that I had spoken to the dr and she said "I know, I don't want to...

  9. Lost Temper -- Yelled/Swore at Patient

    bethin replied to UhOh's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say whether it's a reportable offense as I'm a CNA. The pt could deem it as abusive even though you say it wasn't. I think a few days off is a good idea. It's ok to tell the pt you demand...

  10. Interview dress code and hair length

    bethin replied to LoveNursing1's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the fabric and cut of the suit. Is it a long jacket? Is the jacket cut close to your body but not too snug? Fabric: linen, IMO, would be unprofessional in this case. Go to the br before...

  11. Need tips...meeting attorney re: pt liabilty case

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

  13. What's worst than getting rejected? I know!

    bethin replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I'm shocked at your luck (or lack of). Pray that your spot hasn't been taken (and I'll pray also). If you don't get in, keep working at it! Please don't be like me and give up after one rejection...

  14. Coworker as pt??

    bethin replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken care of employees before and have no problem with it. And I've been a pt many times on the floor where I work. I just remember we are all professionals and do not look at them as a nurse....

  15. The hospital from very close to hell...Long vent.

    bethin replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! That is close to hell. I would speak to the DON before your next shift and say what you just said here. IMO, this nurse treated you like a child asking "look at me when I speak to you". If the...

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    I talked to the hospital's attorney and she was very nice and patient while I explained what happened. Next week is the official deposition. I'm not nervous but again I'm worried because what I say...

  17. Need tips...meeting attorney re: pt liabilty case

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Horrible. Actually, horrible would be an understatement. Attorney was nice. But I what I had to say in front of HR will not get me any points. But I had to tell the truth. I know legally they can't...

    bethin replied to NurseDeroko's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome! I have a strong stomach and procedures don't bother me, however, if I get close to a pt I do feel lightheaded. Some may think it's cold, but I try not to think of them personally but rather...

  21. Bad bad day

    bethin replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry you had a bad day - or a bad bad day :) When transferring resident's that are heavy and do not stand well, get help no matter who gripes. It's not about them it's about resident safety. I'm not...

  23. CNA jobs in places other than LTCFs

    bethin replied to amanda1229's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What LPN's can do varies from state to state. In Indiana they can do everything but hang blood. They do have to have a RN sign off on their admissions but that's the only difference. They can do the...

    bethin posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work med surg. Our unit coordinator who does a great job (most of the time) continues to use derogatory names for gays, lesbians, and blacks. I'm talking about the n word and the f word (not the...
