   Get yourself some good shoes, you're gonna need them....seriously, it's not getting any better. I had hoped to find a ray of encouragement that there might be some solutions out there that aren't going to lead to me having to cause problems for mysel...

4. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

   deezRN replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

   Right, like the idea that we won't get paid if our patients don't perceive their care was good enough....and the reason that our hospital is going to fold is because we aren't doing our jobs well enough or that we aren't nice enough to them

5. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

   deezRN replied to katieusa's topic in Med-Surg

   The HCAPS thing is what is coming down the line on us right now. The way our manager is saying things are going to happen is that if the patient doesnt perceive that we "always" are friendly, "always" explain their meds, "always" kiss their a$$#@ ba...

7. "Right to Sit"

   deezRN replied to core34's topic in Union

   Having the same problem where I work. Searching here, there and everywhere for help. So far nothing has been done where I work, because people are just complaining about it behind the manager's back. The s&^% is about to hit the fan though, wh...

8. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

   deezRN replied to katieusa's topic in Med-Surg

   I would really like to know where this place is.....I would almost swear it is the very place I work at! What can we do to defend ourselves?

9. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

   deezRN replied to katieusa's topic in Med-Surg

   We are dealing with the exact same situation where I work. Perhaps you left the same stinking place I work at even. I don't see how this can be even legal!!! In the midst of the storm, it sure doesnt feel like there is any ray of hope at all, no lif...

10. How does one become assertive in the nursing field?

    deezRN replied to nicnix's topic in General Nursing

    Im interested in hearing how your situation turned out. We have the exact same problem. Nurse aides who refuse to vitals, glucometer checks, etc on patients unless its for the nurse that they like. Then they act all innocent like, "oh, dear me, di...

11. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

    deezRN replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

    Interesting thought!!!!! Perhaps more job security as well? Just thinking out loud here. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad for nurses if the government did take over healthcare? I'm sure there would be good and bad if that were to happen, but really, can...

    deezRN replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

    It does suck. And yet here the gov't/administrations, etc. are wondering how in the world they are gonna fix the problems. Hmmmm.....seems to me they are creating new problems, not fixing existing ones.

13. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

    deezRN replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

    Neither would I, except that we are being told that this is coming down from Medicare/Medicaid, who seem to dictate everything that we do.

14. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

    deezRN replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

    How about this new "pay for service"? As it is being described to us by our nurse manager, if our patients don't rate our service (friendliness of nurses, receive help as soon as you want it, etc.) as "always" blah, blah, blah...we won't get paid. ...

15. Rudeness in the Workplace

    deezRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly what you mean....and when you try so so hard to always do everything exactly right, and then have someone seem to attack you out of nowhere, that is so very hard to handle. When a colleague does it, at least you feel like there is som...
