First Night alone

Rating:
(votes: 2)


Hello All,
Started a new job in a LTC as a new grade LPN. Yesterday was my first night shift alone. Which went really great. To my supprise the next day evening shift called to asked if I took some oranges that were in the med room, belonging to a resident. The first thing I asked her was " did you ask the day shift"? She replied "no". After my night shift , day shift was there for 8 hours!!!. I wonder why I was the first person she asked?.
Any advice how I should handle this will help!!. Never faced a situation like this in my entire life.
They were probably just trying to find the oranges for the resident- and had to ask everyone who may have seen them - I'd blow it off.... oranges aren't good reason for any possible bad relationships with other shifts Congratulations !!

Don't worry, I don't think they were pointing fingers. It's ok to be nervous, just keep up the good work!

Thank you all for replying. This helped a lot with many ideas that I was already formulating in my head.

Comment:
Aw yeah don't stress. And congrats on having a great first night!

Comment:
LOL! Please don't stress over this.

Don't worry about this situation. If you didn't do it. Just deny it. It is very trivial. BUT, being the person I am, I would probably react the same way as you. Kind of freak out a little. I've had patient accuse nurses of taking from their room all the time. Unfortunately, sometimes it is theft.
