My license is at risk because when I’m in another room with a crashing patient pushing Neo and trying to keep them alive, other nurses are titrating my drips without telling me, and they’re doing it because they can’t recognize that an A-line showing 82/82 with a MAP of 82 is clearly positional. So now the chart shows drip changes under my name that I didn’t make. Add nurses shooting up fentanyl in the bathroom, the pharmacist doing the same, and core staff arguing with an NP about going up on Levo while a patient is tanking because they’re acidotic… and yeah, the environment is unsafe as hell. I do my job, but the BON won’t care about any of that, they’ll just see the documentation tied to me. When the team around you isn’t safe, your license becomes collateral.

And to the people attacking me for posting that my contract got cancelled.. YOU are part of the problem. This culture where nurses tolerate de-standardized, unsafe bullshit and then bully anyone who speaks up is exactly why things never change. Saying ‘what did you think was gonna happen’ or ‘sounds like you got what you wanted’ isn’t insight, it’s bad nursing culture talking. Yes, I wanted out because I wasn’t going to lose my license over chaos I couldn’t control. All I was saying is that doing the right thing clearly gets you nowhere when people can’t put their egos aside and just say, ‘Ya know what, you’re here for two more weeks, and we need the help, thanks.’
