I'M STRESSING OUT!! ANY HELP??
HI? IM AN RN AND HAVE BEEN WORKING IN A HOSPITAL FOR SOME TIME IN THE PAST. ONE DAY IT ALL ENDED, I HAD GOTTEN CALLED INTO MY MG OFFICE FOR A SUSPENSION, THEN LATER A TERMINATION. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY DOCUMENTATION, SUCH AS NO PAIN SCALE USED WHEN GIVING PAIN MEDS, ONCE OR TWICE I GAVE A BENZO INCLUDING AN AMBIEN AND NO DOCUMENTATION. I COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED.THEN I GOT THE LETTER FROM THE OFFICE OF PROFFESIONAL DISCIPLINE, GOT THE LAWYER. AFTER MEETING WITH A SHRINK I FOUND OUT I HAVE ADD, I'M ON MEDICATION NOW DAILY, I'M DOING GREAT AS A HOME HEALTH NURSE, MY EVALS FROM MY JOB ARE GOOD BUT I HAVE TO ANSWER THE STATE SOON. LUCKY ME THEY HAVE'NT CALLED YET, ITS BEEN 10 MONTHS BUT I KNOW ONE DAY I HAVE TO ANSWER TO THEM. WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE I FEEL ON THE MEDICATION. MY WORLD IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I'M DOING REALLY WELL. BUT I NEVER KNEW I HAS THIS DISABILITY BEFORE. MY JOB AT THE HOSPITAL WAS MY FIRST TECHNICAL JOB, THATS WHEN IT CAME UP. CAN I STILL PRACTICE NURSING WITH A DISABILITY THATS OK NOW THAT I'M MEDICATION DAILY, CAN I BE DISCIPLINED FOR A DISABILITY I NEVER KNEW I HAD, PLEASE I KNOW YOUR NOT THE STATE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AN OPINION ABOUT IT, I'M LOSING MY HAIR EVERY DAY!!
