Is this not a reasonable discussion because some answers were not supportive of your concerns? Are you thanking God for ativan for yourself or your patients? Do you have a right to refuse meds ordered by the provider? Not likely. Is it within yo...

Your wife is AWESOME!!!

Hypothetically speaking of course...I have two friends who are also RNs and work together. One friend is using, we both know this, and are at a loss as to what to do about it. I brought her a coffee the other night while she was working, and she was...

NashvilleJeanne, I am so very sorry about the loss of your son...there are no words. We have lost some very good friends and family to this awful awful disease, most during times of relapse after considerable clean time. I am her family, she has on...

Also, I was trying to be funny, and really hope you do not take offense! I really was a jerk, a jerk with a big heart, haha. Putting myself in other's shoes, as cliché as it sounds, has helped me immensely! Even when I would start screaming at th...

Thank you... This is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I am not drawing any conclusions about any other nurses with abuse issues, let's just say I know, we are very close and have been for a very long time. I have approached her, and will again...

I would start with please don't take offense to this, but I'll save it because what I am about to say is offensive...You are not a "type A personality", what you may possibly be is an a**hole. The only reason that I am suggesting this is because I w...

I considered nursing for labor and delivery, fell in love with the idea of peds heme/oncology, graduated thinking wow, the possibilities are endless! And I love so many specialties, I can't wait to try them all out! Moral of the story, you never kn...

I still hate to utter the words, even five months later...I was fired from my first job after only eight weeks. I just applied to a different department, and somehow my application snuck by HR. I had an interview today, and explained the situation ...

In reality I am, on here I turned into a defensive little brat for a minute, but that's not me, really. Guess I had a "poor me" moment or two, but while I am still annoyed with the preceptor's dishonesty, I am fully aware that this is on me, I gave ...

Haha haha 😂

Thanks :) It became bad timing between accepting the position, and starting. I think there was a five week window. Things happen, you think you've got it, it will work itself out, I mean it always does right? Then BAM it didn't, and you're sudde...

The sick kiddo part is only about location. Would have been nice to be here just in case, instead of over an hour away, but that's more a luxury "just in case there ever is a real emergency". I traveled for school, and have triple back up for kids,...

Okay, I had a confused elderly woman, incontinent, no family, we were ruling out cdiff, and she's losing loose stool at the rate of approx. 10gal/min, give or take. Now she wasn't so hairy that at first glance I thought she had buckwheat in a leg loc...

Thanks, I would probably throw a similar response out there. Yes, I got defensive, while trying to argue every rebuttal, apparently I came off as "spoiled and entitled", and certainly didn't mean that. I've already come across plenty of people who ...

I was only 17 minutes late when the axle broke in my car landing me in a ditch. I called and let them know. Things do happen that are out of our control sometimes.

Thanks again for the feedback, and I understand that life doesn't happen to some people, you will always have excellent attendance, never be late, and never let anything interfere with your job. I never claimed to be on my "best behavior", I wasn't ...

Maybe rethink your path, there are severalv programs that accept a "C" average, even if it's an ADN program. A friend of mine struggled to get the C+ her program needed, and ultimately applied to a program that accepted a C in pre-reqs and nursing c...

HR confirmed that the hospital's attendance policy is in effect from day one, the 90 day probationary period is different, though attendance may be considered, there's a different corrective action plan for non-attendance issues. I was late twice, m...

Preceptor made it up, I was on time and present for report.

Still trying to figure out how the comment, quote, reply works here, sorry

I have been looking elsewhere for five months...no luck yet

Hahah absolutely I can tell you why I was "really fired"...But why is everyone here a "liar"??? I was joking about the pity party part, really, just wondering who has authority here... I was late twice in four weeks. 8 minutes once, and 17 minutes ...

Best of luck...you've made it this far, I'm certain you can get through this as well!

Maybe I should word the question differently...If I was given a "final warning" for attendance issues, and fired after three more shifts, but the warning and termination did not follow the hospital's attendance policy, who has the authority to change...
