  1. Trying to learn from mistakes

    Learningtobenurse101 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi So I am a new nurse and I was fired from my first job after a month. My preceptor and I didn't get a long and as much as I tried to figure out ways, we clashed a lot. I didn't want to get my...

    Yes, my managers sided with me on the out of scope of practice, but did still choose the preceptor over me and it makes perfect sense, they've invested a lot of time, money and energy into them more...

    Thank you. As mentioned way early in the posts, I originally didn't want to talk about the out of scope part since it was dealt with under where I worked, and managers said it was out of scope (at...

    The wonders of PIXIS allows those kinds of meds to be given without under someones elses names in emergencies. :) And a verbal order is still an order :) Also, hadn't had problems with other nurses. I...

    In this case, yes, my preceptor would have a corrective action as they saw fit (whatever that may be), but retained her job. I was still within my 90 days, and they had overstaffed making it easier to...

    I reported it to managers. They were taking care of the issue. It is illegal yes. My apologizes for mislabeling it. That act they did made it extremely difficult to trust them, since it should be...

    Also, to be fair for my learning process, it happened yesterday, so please give me a little of a break while I am trying to shift through all of this and learn from

    Learningtobenurse101 replied to Learningtobenurse101's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that my problems came from a lot of miscommunication, and that is the main thing that I am taking from this. I needed to learn how to better approach the individual, and when to get my boss...
