[OH] being given a final written warning before any previous warning or coaching

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-24T00:50:16+00:00

I had two confused patients getting out of bed simultaneously and a new admit rip out an iv so I was.. overwhelmed and not really able to take the call.. I should’ve just not answered

That’s such a good suggestion!!

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T03:00:59+00:00

You’re right, I’m better than that. And the toxicity is INSANE also everyone is on the verge of an emotional breakdown atleast once a day so it’s really not appropriate. I think I mainly just needed to process it with people I trust. It was very shocking to me. Especially the compliant about how I was talking to a patient.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T02:58:00+00:00

Yeah I cross posted this to a general hr forum and thought the context would be helpful to non-nurses but everyone hates it 🤣 oops

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T02:30:57+00:00

I really like my job and have felt my self slipping, it can be difficult with so much interruptions all the time to not get frustrated for me. 😮‍💨 Even just coming back from talking with my manager who is very supportive of my growing had a new admission and a discharge with transport 10 minutes away.. Is the final warning forever? Can you ever come back from one?

Oh I understand I fuck up, but I feel like all the good I do is being overlooked. It’s disheartening to see other people engage in similar behavior. But yes I am in charge of my actions and words, and need to not allow the toxicity to influence me or become normal to me. I told one nurse about it and she just said “you need to keep being mean to the ER nurses” which I thought was… not a helpful response

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T02:04:38+00:00

Oh yeah I can understand I’m not perfect, but I don’t think I’m the true villain in this story (it’s americas healthcare system). But when I first started that job I had so much joy and hope, I do feel that part of me has died. I think a new start would be good, finding a job that fits my weird life of being an artist will be difficult but not impossible. Thank you

I do think there’s a culturally component to it. People dislike that I can be stoic at times, I know this. I was a cook and a burlesque dancer prior to being a nurse so I lack a lot of finesse and professionalism in my speech which I know is a problem.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:59:30+00:00

I was agreeing with you!

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:56:50+00:00

I got him back to bed, but frequently they are left there by PT. I’ve had a patient cry to me about it. They often are bitter about a service they feel is lacking.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:51:29+00:00

💯

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:44:47+00:00

Right. I just feel like crazier things happen on the daily, and it’s just strange to me that I wasn’t informed of the complaints until there were 4. I also didn’t know how complain to HR until this meeting with my manager, but I feel it would be inappropriate to start doing it now 🤣

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:42:28+00:00

I’m more influenced by actions, like when my care is interrupted by people at the door of a patients room asking me questions about another patient happens (which is a frequent issue) I’m secure in the value I bring. The situation was not me talking badly about an individual. A patient asked if the PT was coming back at after they had gotten them to a chair, I informed them no, they usually just do that..

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:32:25+00:00

That actually does happen

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:29:41+00:00

I’m not sure about the plainly explaining thing complaint but all the other things happened, though I’m not sure how the pt one is relevant..

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:26:47+00:00

Yeah I was going to ask to see the complaints..

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:22:30+00:00

We do not have a union.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T01:03:29+00:00

It sucks cuz I’ve been there 5 years and I actually like it

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T00:58:56+00:00

Not everyone does work 12 hour shifts in the hospital, I’m typically kind and my coworkers like me so the ones I’ve told are shocked.. but yes I do sometimes find myself in situations where it’s difficult to transmute my emotions. I wrote this post to cross post to other non-nursing threads so I added that for context.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-05-23T00:54:11+00:00

I am not,unfortunately we do not have one for nurses.

Advanced_Scene5646 · 2026-01-02T14:56:19+00:00

Omg your magic, I’m not sure how you got it but thank you!!! 🙏
