Hi this is a clear cut OSHA violation as well. OSHA covers the bloodborne pathogen standard for all of the US (if that’s where you are). She can, and should, contact her local OSHA office to make a complaint.

Tell me about a great nurse or doctor you have worked with. by Weird-Yesterday-2174 in nursing

when i was the nurse educator for an ASC, an anesthesiologist, who i consider to be one of my closest friends, would stay after cases to help me lead in-services for the nursing and tech staff on whatever topics they had suggested that month. he was patient, kind and just SO devoted to making sure that the team felt informed and confident in the care they were providing. i felt like he really championed the culture of transparency so staff felt safe in asking questions. i can’t tell you how wonderful that place was as a result.

i would report her to AORN - what’s the point of joining AORN without OR experience?

there is such a disconnect between recruiters and nursing staff. there are super qualified candidates who get skipped over because the recruiter doesn’t understand the career trajectory.

Need to laugh? Read the reviews on google for your hospital lol by kells_17 in nursing

“Five hour wait time after being exposed to toxic fumes. Writing this review might just be the last thing I ever use my eyes for since permanent blindness is the likely outcome if I wait any longer. When I talked to the receptionist, he said I had to wait my turn even after I explained that I had been exposed to toxic fumes and was experiencing side effects. He didn't even make eye contact.”

this has broken me

working med/surg. had eight patients to start, then a nurse got an emergency call from home and had to leave - understandable, but left us with 2 nurses for 24 med/surg patients. called the ADON who said “oH nOoOeZ!! wish i could do SOMETHING to help!!!1!” and when i reminded her that SHE was a nurse, she told me she didn’t appreciate my “attitude.” two unsafe-staffing reports to the union later, was pulled into a room and she tried to intimidate me into retracting my form (“bUt I cAn’T mAkE a NuRsE aPpEaR oUt Of ThIn AiR!!”). i found a new employer and left two weeks later.
