100 % agree with supervisor. Why would you administer something that someone else prepared? Doesn't matter if it is an oral medication, an injection or formula. I would never do it. You put your patient at risk and your license.

I have always given at least 2 weeks notice and sometimes a month. I have had some horrible jobs where I couldn't go another day but always thought about the bind I would put my coworkers and patients in if I just left without notice. Also, if a prospective employer were to call my old job for a reference it would be on my record which would give an impression of unreliability.

Your right, it was more patronizing than bullying. When it comes down to the big picture who gets the most attention, #NursesUnite or "An Open Letter to #NursesUnite"? I understand what your saying and agree but is this your way of making a change? Will this letter be published all over the media? For the sake of nurses everywhere, I hope so.

Wow, talk about bullying and nurses eating their young! Perhaps, you should view the #NursesUnite movement as an open door to UNITE and STAND up to demand things change. Like, respect...respect of the public, respect of management, respect of doctors, respect of one another... and bring nurses TOGETHER instead of breeding bullying and condescension. Then we can work on the other "issues plaguing the nursing profession" one issue at a time. I think respect may be a starting point.
