   Hello Eveyone, I am so hurt and mad that I don't know what to do; so I guess this is a vent.I've been on the same job for the past 7 years and have always received a great evaluation.I knew this year there wouldn't be any raises because of ...

4. Overtime not paid at time and a half? Is this common?

   whodunit replied to barefootlady's topic in Geriatric

   Maybe , our economy is worse here in Tennessee but big changes have already taken place at the"physcian led" hospital system I work for and none have been aimed anywhere but the nurses and support staff.The daily 25 ft free buffet for the docs while...

5. Overtime not paid at time and a half? Is this common?

   whodunit replied to barefootlady's topic in Geriatric

   Don't get me wrong, I think President Obama has done a really good job so far and feel he really is trying to make a diffference instead of being a figurehead. What I mean is at least where I work, everytime he says anything about healthcare change...

10. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    whodunit replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    i agree and also find it interesting that there is a government web site that gives info on all the different medications that can cause a false positive test for pot, cocaine etc.

11. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    whodunit replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    I think that anyone who thinks most nurses don't use something is living with their head in the sand.To me it doesn't matter if its prescribed meds like Xanex, Ativan, Effexor or ETOH or pot.Most every nurse I know is on something and just my 2 cents...

    Hi, Just wondering how and what management has done to save money on your unit, what you think about it, and any suggestions you think would work? Our unit has now decided unless there are 6 pts, we do not get a tech, we have no unit sec., they are ...
