They should be force to retire

Nurses Retired

Published

I have worked with a few old school nurses who weren't their anymore and they were making BIG nursing mistakes, but they still have the licenses. Now as hard as it to get one do you feel that they should be forced into retirement and stripped of their licenses?

hey, don't pick on the newbies, they're always there to take that really, really interesting admit with that really, really interesting bowel condition.

Don't worry, the COBs will have fun snacking on you when you start working !

There's a huge difference between expecting better and NETY.

I don't eat them, but I do have high standards for them. Not that I expect them to practice at a high level, but that they should practice at a safe novice level, recognize what that means (and doesn't mean), and make visible strides to learning new things to progress every day.

My instincts say Troll. But in case he or she isn't a troll, my response is this is why nurses are not seen in the same light as other professionals. Passive aggressive sniping and attacking. Instead of going to a nursing forum to rip somebody apart, try assertively dealing with it. Each nursing generation has something to offer.

Coming back to nursing after 15 year hiatus. Looks like some things haven't changed.

I'm one of them; disabled due to narcolepsy/sleep apnea . Biggest problem was being able to organize my work to get everything done. Later I found myself making decisions that seemed good at the time but realized were not: had to stop nursing before I did harm a patient but as a single mom the problems I had that caused me to stop nursing also affected any other type job I could get PLUS nobody else would hire me with my nursing background (I might decide to leave and go back to nursing) It's been very hard because nursing was a very big part of my life and getting disability was very very hard (finally got it due to my neuropathy not the mental issues)

I thought this was hilarious because I turned 62 on a Thursday and I retired on Friday. I couldn't wait to be able to retire. I'm not financially in good shape or anything I just needed to retire after 41 years. I have a bad back, bad legs and just wanted to be able to kick back and enjoy life, instead of working. No body had to "force" me...and I wasn't making any mistakes....I just thought there is more to life....and there is!!!

I am 52 and want to retire today! :whistling:

How can someone make a mistake if they are not there anymore? Are the teleporting?

He might have meant "not at their best anymore".

Looks like late night looking.

I'm way late on this one, but perhaps someone needs a guardian and can't get one.

Yeah it's not easy to do; I can do self care but financially I can't keep track of what needs to be paid, whether it was paid, unless I can pay it as soon as the bill comes in. And on disability my check is once monthly (401K and other retirement funds either paid for living while waiting for disability or I can't access until I'm 65 so needless to say unexpected expenses decimate my budget to the point of no money left for groceries or gas for my car. My point is it can happen to any of us; if you're like me, single with little family able to help financially; build up all the reserves you can BEFORE you're faced with the unexpected
