The manager is like you’re pulled to 4 east… My response: No I’m not, floating to any unit other than the Family Birth Center is not in my contract! She then says...

Not only do I love when my patients are sleep but I also love when my patients refusing everything… Usually, but not tonight! I got a critical patient refusing everything thing under her plan… With her current clinical picture being unstable I’m trying to encourage her to cooperate. Only to find out she’s self-pay! When life’s on the line it’s pretty sad that...

Work
Really can’t wait for this contract to end! I’m charge nurse again… And I hate it… I say that only because I was never properly trained for the position, nor was I told in writing that it was a requirement! So I had a fellow travel nurse tell me to take it as a compliment that they trust me to do it, not to mention the leadership skills will now be on my résumé…
