1. VENT--Boundaries please!!!!!

   nurseontheball replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Oh, she did report it to the agency (case manager) amongst other things. Nothing was ever done. It was funny when the young manager had to come to the home one day and made a comment afterwards about how she could not believe he was walking around in...

2. Character Letter safe to write in this situation?

   nurseontheball replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in LTC Directors

   Don't call OSHA; you need to be calling the State on them. You can file a complaint annonymously, the sooner the better. I would write a character reference for the nurses they fired.

3. Nurses setting up other nurses!

   nurseontheball replied to gerotina's topic in Ohio

   Don't feel like a fool. I have not laughed so hard like this in a long time. Your post is exactly what I needed! Now, I don't feel so bad about the Dementia resident who made it out of the building at my last job. We never knew he was gone until a b...

   How about Rae Ann Cleveland. I heard it was a small place and are hiring. Concerned about it being so close to the projects though....I have a new car. Anyone have positive or negative experiences there? I have had 3 LTC positions past 8 months and ...

10. Has anyone worked at this LTC Facility, Berea Ohio

    nurseontheball replied to katnursey's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think they are now offering a $1500.00 sign on bonus? I would be leery, but that is just me. I am not saying I worked there or not.....take it for what it is worth!
