That is an interesting assessment given that you don't know what we have or haven't experienced.
Pressured to drink mystery coffee? No, you're right I would never have experienced that because they can't pressure me in that way. But had my patie...
1. Yes
2. No
It's simple, change mental gears: You are leaving to go toward something good. Life is too short to waste on others' pettiness and problems that you can't fix and don't need to fix.
Very often the thing that would tempora...

"Well, there's your first problem..." 🙊
Anyway...I can't see myself being in this situation. I would've headed it off long before anyone touched my hands. Either my help is needed or it isn't and I would be direct, though without any intention ...

Any good reason to think the ex-coworker isn't the chief pot-stirrer?
In any case I agree completely with those advising you ignore/go on as if you know nothing. The types of people who perpetuate this type of nonsense are some of the most pitif...

The poster isn't talking about sick pay, they are referring to the idea that in addition to the orientation being cut short because the hospital wanted them to take a full assignment due to poor staffing, the training shifts missed for mandatory covi...
No it is not right.
If the work-up is eventually overkill or otherwise not appropriate, that is not your problem or your concern as the person performing the triage. The process of assigning ESI is not meant to be influenced by knowledge of indi...
I wrote out an answer but erased and have a question instead. Are these two fine specimens of humanity actually employed by or affiliated with a covered entity?
Tough situation.
No specific recommendations but you could consider carefully choosing an appropriate nursing diagnosis (yes, I just said that 😮🤭) and documenting your assessments and interventions being careful to be objective and use professio...

Don't forget to make sure your legislators know that your hospital routinely makes decisions that encourage RN turn-over while hospital systems are spontaneously complaining about the cost of temporary/contract nursing staff. 🤡
🤷🏽♀️
They work under the direction and supervision of the provider. They are not nursing assistants so it's different than inpatient/ED where everything a tech/NA does has supposedly been delegated by an RN and and RN is ultimately responsible to see that...
I understand this has been a chronic concern and the idea that one could lose one's license, in theory, is not always realistic as applied to scenarios people are worried about.
That said, no one wants to be messed with, no one wants to appear b...
