    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is very true! We have a great Risk Manager, and incident reports are always completed, both in the computer and on paper. Copies are sent to me (shift supervisor), the DON, and the Risk Manager....

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    This helped me so much, Fran... I want to thank you. I appreciate every word, in fact I saved it in Word on my computer so I could print it out and keep it in my desk for encouragement. Thank you...

  5. I can't stop crying... need encouragement...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing a lot better. I do love my job, I just never had a night that awful before. It helped so much to vent a little (although I wish people hadn't tried to turn it against me). At least that...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's awful! Why is it the ones who work the hardest for the comfort of the residents are the ones who get in trouble for the slightest

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you... things are doing better. It was just so hard that night. I feel really guilty about saying anything, I didn't intend to get myself flamed. I guess I should elaborate (for the people who...

  10. Hello I am new here My liscence revoked

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to gianna2111's topic in Nursing Career

    I am so sorry that you are going through such a horrible experience. What made you decide to start diverting after 10 years? And how were you caught? I think those two questions will have a bearing on...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank everyone again for your support... yes, I do have the LPNs here. They each have a hall, and handle the meds, normal assessments, etc. If there is a fall or a worsening of condition, I...

  12. ooohhhh nausea...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your doc could call you in a scrip for Zofran? Just to use for two or three days to let your body adjust to the hormones. Worked wonders for me.

  13. I can't stop crying... need encouragement...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much... I can't tell you how much better I feel. It's tough to be the supervisor and to still want to be told everything will be alright. The resident I referred to in my original post...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to ALMED's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for saying it better than I

  15. I'm so ashamed...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to ALMED's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you were an instructor in a nursing school and had a student who displayed this behavior, who actually encountered an emergency and instead of getting help quietly closed the door and said nothing,...

  16. I can't stop crying... need encouragement...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for responding... it helped a great deal. When I finally was able to leave work that morning, I went home and ate brownie ice cream, watched Big Fish with DH, and slept pretty much...

  19. I'm so ashamed...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to ALMED's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really in my post I was addressing anyone reading this and formulating an opinion. I realize this person is a new nurse, but she is still a NURSE. And yes, I would think a doctor would be subject to...

  20. I'm so ashamed...

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to ALMED's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What concerns me, is what would have happened if it were more serious. If a seizing patient overwhelmed her to the point where she just left the room, what would she do if she found someone...

  21. very very very bad bad man

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    I would say I was surprised, but unfortunately I am not. At my last position, my DON would constantly underorder stuff like diapers... finally I called her at 1am when we had no diapers or pads... she...

  22. Strange Nursing Student

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    Wow... how do the rights of one "handicapped" woman who can NOT do a safe job as a nurse mean more than those of the thousands of people she would treat in her lifetime? I used to teach special ed,...

  23. Congrats New Nurses!

    LoriAlabamaRN replied to kidae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Without a doubt, my hardest part was juggling a fulltime job with fulltime school. I thought I would go out of my mind, many weeks I'd go a full 79 hours without sleep (due to 11-7 work, 7:45-2:00...

    Thank you Honeybear... I am here until 7am normally but this morning will probably be here far later, since I still have to do all the paperwork concerning the falls and the sweet lady who is dying......
