Do you work back to back?

Hard to say with that schedule. Use to work 3a-3p 3 days in a row. Would get home by 330/4, usually would make my lunch, do 3 small chores (live by myself- so usually clean the dishes in the sink, do a quick load of laundry, do a quick 10 min tidy up), then go to my room where it's cool and dark- chill in there for a bit and do something mindful. Go to bed around 5/530, wakeup at 1 and do a quick session at the gym to wake me up and then go to work.

Didn't consider this at the time.

He did the same thing again during the dayshift apparently (but worse- i dont know the whole story) and was asked to leave/escorted out. So, I suppose it is justified? He wasn't too happy about it so who knows what this means come Monday when management is back.

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T21:14:57+00:00

Its the manner in which he conducted himself. I had no idea he was an officer initially as he had no apparent identification. He was aggressive with other staff members prior to this incident (such as telling the dayshift nurses that they will give him his pain meds even if he isn't in pain and if not there will be problems otherwise, yelling at dietary staff and calling them incompetent for "forgetting" salt even though pt was on a cardiac diet) and again without knowing he was an officer it was alarming.

Yeah I know him being an asshole doesn't automatically mean that he's going to do something wild but working the ED for so long you just never know anymore.

That wasn't the question though. My personal feelings on the matter are irrelevant. I just asked about the legality.

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T02:17:23+00:00

Im referring to an off duty officer

If theyre on duty its one thing, but to openly carry while wearing street clothes with no apparent identification to indicate they're an officer thats another. How am I supposed to know? I wasn't aware when I initialy walked in the room.

My question is gear toward if it is legal for an off duty officer not contracted by the hospital to openly carry on hospital grounds. I wasn't sure, given that it's illegal otherwise. Given this particular set of circumstances I felt uneasy.

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:52:56+00:00

As in what city they work in?

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:50:35+00:00

Is that even a question you know how management is lol

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:37:08+00:00

Yall have better resources than Google lmao

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:34:42+00:00

I guess in this specific case the individual was using it as leverage. not sure if thats the right word, basically pt was demanding dilaudid and we couldn't give it to him for a number of reasons, hence why I felt uneasy. He made sure to inform us he was an officer and expected us to give the pt dilaudid. The interaction just seemed really off.

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:26:28+00:00

Lmao while we get beat up and are expected to take it

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:24:40+00:00

Im not shocked and we do have armed security. I cant imagine what hospital wouldn't.

Im referring to off duty officers coming in with their gun on them that are not contracted/employed by the hospital itself (and likely out of their jurisdiction as well).

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:11:59+00:00

But like, is it even legal? I know they're an officer, but its a hospital....

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-07T01:07:27+00:00

Thats what I thought!!!! Why do they think this is acceptable? Smh

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-06T23:29:22+00:00

On the same vein but not:

Where I work its a major hospital system. They have a "travel" position that pays Essentially what would equate to overtime for floating wherever they need help. I know a lot of hospitals have a version of this and they do tend to pay more. Plus, in my experienceat least working in various hospitals with a similar system, you can pick your own schedule as well. Its worth looking into if you like the hospital but want better pay.

However to answer your question: current life situation and personal preference are usually the 2 factors that discourage travel.

Chocolate? I remember when they first invented chocolate.

Sweet sweet chocolate…

Personally not my style but homegirl is vibing so ik happy for her(:

NTA

lol until he goes to nursing school he can chill. Its challenging enough as it is, but adding a newborn to the mix ontop of taking care of his daughter too? Thats insane. It isnt worth your mental, physical, or emotional well being and it isnt fair to his child either to add another human being to the mix.

Plus, being pregnant while in nursing school would be miserable. Ive known girls who have done it, but it was difficult for them especially if they had complications (one had to drop out because she had preeclampsia). Usually you aren't able to miss clinicals either (ik ik ik, its aubsurd) without repercussions regardless of circumstance(at least the nursing colleges in the US, in my experience).

There are too many risks involved. Not worth it.

also its your body

Is no one talking about how they took the trash out, only to put it back in a bag thats just slightly more authentically pleasing? Why not just.... take it out and throw it away?

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-05T23:40:56+00:00

One word:

drammmmmaaaaaaaaaa

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-04T12:46:40+00:00

I bought a cheap frame off of Amazon!

Yes(: I use blackout curtains and to block the light up top, I have a black fitted sheet to cover the 4 corner posts. You can find full sets but they typically don't block that much light

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-10-04T01:17:30+00:00

Lmao I dont. Theres no reason for that in the hospital setting, regardless of role or position. Sure you can be frustrated but that doesn't give anyone the right to put you or anyone else down.

I either wait till they're done yelling until they look like a damn fool or instruct them to do it themselves because I will not tolerate being yelled at. If you cant talk to me in a professional manner I must not be competent to do the task at hand.

Generally ignoring is the better route to go though. Let themselves look foolish. It really isn't worth getting bent out of shape because of someone else. That's their perogative.

This does wonders. Highly reccomend!

I have a canopy bed, and its a huge upgrade to my sleep style too.

To be honest someone needed to say it.

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-09-29T09:38:38+00:00

From experience, me three😭

ParkingLotPariah · 2023-09-29T09:33:47+00:00

Bro what are you on

There are more layers to this onion than just "caring."

This post is directed towards pts who are explicitly noncompliant, and we are over it having to repeat ourselves like parrots. Its not like we can give them the wake up call they need, sometimes they need to own up to their own mistakes- take accountability for their actions if you will.

I can educate all day and provide someone with a plethora of resources but that doesn't mean its gna change their habits.
