4. Leaving the VA

   nishali78 replied to Happynurse12's topic in Government

   I'm getting ready to leave the VA. I was in the transplant section before (which I loved but hated being oncall and I also couldn't stand one of my coworkers who was extraordinarily lazy) and I went to a clinic outpatient setting which is currently a...

5. VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

   nishali78 replied to Sarah918's topic in Government

   i'm almost two years with the VA and I'm ready to leave. I love the Vets but hate the system. There's no accountability. If something needs to be changed, the process is painstakingly slow. There's no fear of being fired. I miss going to work and wor...

   nishali78 replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

   I am considering and applying to roles which are non clinical like case manager or chart auditing. I'm even applying to coding jobs (even though I don't know coding) but I figure I'm a fast learner. I have my masters in nursing education but I've app...

   nishali78 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been a nurse since 2006, I've finally realized I really don't like Nursing. I always stay in a job for 2-3 years then go to something different. My last job I liked, kidney transplant coordinator, the only thing I did not like was being oncall h...

8. Advice for VA Employee

   nishali78 replied to BishopLPN's topic in Government

   Go to your union. If you don't have scheduling keys or access then you are not a scheduler. If you are doing tasks outside of your functional statement then they are using you. VA is not managed well. I know, I currently work there and my workload is...

9. NP refusing to write meds?

   nishali78 replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

   So my point is she basically refuses to write ANY medications for the patient. I know its her right but she's getting paid as an NP/transplant coordinator. If the doctor has seen the patient and the patient runs out of immunosuppressant medications a...

10. NP refusing to write meds?

    nishali78 replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

    So she refuses to write any meds , transplant or non transplant related. At one time she was also refusing to do H & P on our transplant patients and she got away with it for a few months until they realized we were doing exactly the same job rol...

11. NP refusing to write meds?

    nishali78 replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

    She does not want to write medications for her patients because they will call her for refills and she does not want that. She mentioned this in the beginning when I first started working here.

12. NP refusing to write meds?

    nishali78 replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

    Right but she refuses to see patients who are post transplant. A few of HER patients have needed medications. One patient flew here from out of town and forgot his insulin. She would not write orders for one day's worth of insulin so I had to enter a...

    Hi , I work at the hospital in Houston and I'm an RN but I work with an NP in a transplant center. The NP refuses to write meds for patients who need them and her excuse is that she doesn't feel comfortable writing medications for patients that she h...
