Most health-care profession has brutal work conditions (some more than others) and high turn over rate. Who said the job lied? She is getting conflicting stories regarding the circumstances of why she was hired. Who cares why? She has the job, she is getting her salary. I always find it funny when nurses trash talk a job to new employees, yet they are still working there. If the circumstances surrounding her hire is that important. If she is truly bothered about it, then she should go to who conducted the interview and hired her and let them know " hey, I thought you said I was hired because of such and such. Well, I was told I was hired to replace someone who got fed up" does that even make sense? It doesn't make sense to me.

Hi Westiluv, I personally think that you should give the job a chance. You are still on orientation, do not let gossip from other employees be your guide or be the deciding factor whether you stay at the job or not. Those employees who is giving you the information, they are still working there aren't they? You don't know why nurses are staying pass their shifts. There are a lot of nursed who wait till the last minute to do things and end up staying pass their shift to finish. You don't know because you have not started working independently yet. No job can pressure a person to work on their day off if they don't want to. I have no problem saying no, once I have fulfill my required amount of hours. In fact, if I don't want to, I don't answer calls from my job on my days off. I sent it straight to VM. You might be the type of nurse who is organize and stay on top of what needs to be done. Does the underlying circumstances really matter regarding why you were hired. Don't look at it as the job lied to you, come on now, you got a job and that's what's important. Health care professionals do stay past their shifts in emergency situations. It should not be a daily occurance. Still, you don't know because you have not given the job a chance. It honestly doesn't make any sense that you haven't start working independently yet, you are willing to give up a job based on rumors. Especially, from employees who are still working there. Listen, it does not matter that you told them not to call you on your day off because you don't work overtime. Yet, they still call you. In health-care the staffing coordinator is gonna call staff to see if they want to work OT. Sometimes they know who does not want OT, but that doesn't stop them from asking. It's par for the course. Give the job a chance because your reasons for not wanting to give up as no substance. Someone once told me that they have the mindset when they start a new job to give it a chance for 3 months no matter what. Within the health-care profession we are dealing with lives, not boxes therefore, stringent 9 to 5 is a myth. Give the job a chance that's all I can say.

It would be two 50 mg tab. Ideally the order should be written ( metoprolol 50mg. Give two tabs po BID at 9am). An order should have medication name, dosage, quantity, route and time.

What's written on the Mar should be a direct transcription from the physicians order. If the way the doctors are writing the orders promote medication errors then it should be reported so that the changes start with the physicians.
