After watching a patient who is aox4 pop her medication and drink some water, I come back see a senna sitting on her bedside table. I asked her how did she not take the pill and she said she fell asleep and decided not to take it. Another nurse heard her comment during report and I edited medication as not given and putting the patients comment. I am nervous about getting a write up over this . Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for your honesty!! This is another reason why I continued interviewing!

I am a new graduate rn who starts orientation for a part time position this week at a ltc facility. I had a second interview with an acute facility and am wondering is two jobs possible? The long term is 8 hours shifts and requirements are 15 hours a week.The other position is med surge 3 12s a week. My other option is to just choose one?!

Thank you for the clarification. I think I will interview for this position and always be honest about patients and knowledge about situations if hired!

I recent applied for a med surge unit and after talking to the nurse recruiter she let me know that they are looking for more nurse floats also. I asked her about experience required because I don't have a medical background. She said they do a 6 week orientation for any position. Also that the patients I will be dealing with on other floors will be strictly med surge. The hospital is a smaller one and she feels that I would be a good fit because I have 10 years of customer service experience. Anyone have this experience and like it?
