Will I get fired?

Published

i am licensed my mother suggested i do that so i did well inschool for it and i just got this job amonth ago. i work at john perter smith hosp. doc gave me some orders because the other nurse was on break i couldnt understand him that well but i was really tired. i told him i could get it done which was to clean patient up and give his blood pressure medicaton. i had been working many hours and was tired so i fell asleep in the break area and was paged on the intercom. and it was mentioned to me that someone noticed i took extra break. they told on me and i worried i might lose job. should i worry.

maam i did fell asleep but you dont understand. i worked 12 full hours. that is alot of hours to work straight with only a small break in between and to be real honest with you i was kinda mad anyway because the other nurses were lazy and i did all the work. i said forget this.

I've worked 16 hour shifts 6-7 days in a row. Falling asleep isn't acceptable. Whether you are tired OR mad.

None of this should matter to you at all. Grow up for crying out loud. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop worrying about other people. Yeesh. :yawn:

OMG...is this for real?

May I suggest getting a life, getting a job that you might be good at, getting some English and spelling lessons, and get out of the area of nursing...please!

sleeping with boss is company vilation. why wouldnt she get in trouble.

You just don't get it...this has NOTHING to do with that nurse...this has EVERYTHING to do with your poor attitude and your lack of responsibility. Nobody gives a flying fig about what that nurse does or doesn't do in her spare time...and it's no one's business but hers. Besides, you're going on hearsay...you can't prove it, and even if you could, HR would probably tell you to mind your own business anyway! Nurses have to abide by something called the "Code of Ethics", meaning that nurses are accountable to report unsafe situations, mistakes, abuse, etc. to the appropriate parties. Not only is it the right thing to do, IT'S THE LAW! Failing to report could cost the nurse anything from several days of suspension to losing his/her license. Regarding your situation, the nurse most likely found your activities (or lack thereof) to be unsafe and had to report it...I think you are personalizing this way too much...you want to "get her back" for reporting you, when she had every right to do so because you acted in a careless manner on several occasions.

By the way, I read your post about wanting to move to California after you get your RN license. Sorry to tell you this, but just because you have the RN initials behind your name doesn't make you exempt from CNA duties. As a nurse, you will still be cleaning up poop, pee and vomit; not to mention saliva/phlegm. You will still be assisting patients to the bathroom, still getting them fresh water. The only difference is that you will have much more responsibility...if you don't like being a CNA, you're not going to like being a nurse much better. Sorry.

May I make a suggestion? Get out of the health care field altogether, get yourself a job at the local McD's and go back to school to learn English. Really, 23 years old? Learn responsiblity and buy yourself a work ethic! You don't belong in any position that requires any kind of responsiblity!

You need to leave this alone. This is none of your concern. You do not know that she is sleeping with the doctor, you have only heard a rumor that she is.

You need to take all that has happened to you here, learn from your mistakes, and move on.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
