No one goes to work planning to have a bad day but sometimes things happen - a traffic accident makes you late to work; you have a disagreement with a co-worker or you get busy and forget to complete a task. If this is an unusual occurrence and it didn't cause any harm to a patient then grace is typically provided however if this turns out to be more of a pattern for you then you definitely want to listen in. 

In this episode Nurse Alice talks to nursing leader Vernell Davis about three common issues that can land a nurse in the corrective action process including time & attendance, communication issues, and behavioral standards. They also talk about what happens at each step of the corrective action process - everything from informal teachable moments to formal verbal warnings, written warnings, final warnings, suspensions, and possible termination.
