My recruiter sent me to a facility where I was discriminated against. She knew the reasons for the facility terminating my contract wasn't fair and no grounds for termination. I explained to her how the white nurses were letting residents fall and they were not reporting it. I even told her how a white nurse was mad because I was assigned her hall and I started giving meds on that hall, and that nurse called the nurse manager (which is the nurse best friend) and had me moved on that assigned hall. The facility told my recruiter that I made med errors, which I didn't give anyone the wrong medications, nor did I chart on what I didn't do. The pharmacy had brought a resident medications at 11 pm, they were scheduled for 8 pm. I charted the med was unavailable because it was. They didn't train me to tell me what to do if that happens because I'm a traveler, everywhere is different. I called the pharmacy, but they were closed. Another incident was a fall. The cnas were passing lunch trays way on another hall, when a resident fell. I checked his vitals. I tried to assist him with getting off the floor, because he ambulates by himself. He started screaming, "Ouch!" I asked if he was in pain. He said, yes, my hip. I noticed blood on the floor, so I ran to grab something to stop the bleeding. The facility claims I left him alone. He was on blood thinners. The facility lunchtime policy is that all LNAs help hand out such trays on the long hall. I had no help. Went to work Monday. They waited until I passed morning meds to pull me off the hall to tell me about med errors, which they made me correct. I told them I didn't know, until I read it that Monday morning when they put it in the system. They NEVER told me about a fall. My recruiter allowed all of this. I'm over 1000 miles from home. I have rent here in Vermont and back home. I won't ever let a recruiter put me in this situation again to just listen and believe the lies of racist people. I was the only black nurse there. I even told her about the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was denied a position in my home state with stipend because I have a NLC compact license in the hometown state. Although I no longer live in my home state, I wanted to be closer to my husband, who was fulfilling a contract there via his field of work. So basically this means everyone is unable to pick up a contract with stipend in their hometown with this particular agency if youāre ever visiting a love one or feeling homesick?!?! This agency basically told me that their policy along with the Joint Commission states that a nurse must get a licensure by endorsement when moving from one compact state to another. I advised that is only true if that nurse plans to practice in their new compact state that they move to, which is not the case for me any longer (FYI, I did have a temp license in my new compact state when I did practice there). According to NCSBN, the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows nurses to have one multistate license, which permits them to practice in their home state and other compact states. When you move to another compact state, your license remains active in your original state as long as itās part of the compact. This system is designed to promote nursing mobility and allow nurses to work in multiple states without obtaining additional licenses. However, you should be aware of the specific rules and regulations of the compact states you are practicing in to ensure compliance with their requirements. I basically was told that a nurse with a compact license in Minnesota, practiced in South Dakota and was responsible for a patientās demise, and now they require compact state licensed nurses to apply for endorsement in each state they practice in. This is unacceptable, inaccurate, and some of these travel nurse agencies are becoming just as corrupt as some healthcare entities when trying to control how a...
