   DO NOT go through DLSII. I enrolled in July 2014. They scheduled me for a class that when I pulled it up was flagged as being ineligible to test for through Excelsior College bc I have not completed A&P and Micro. So, I questioned why they wou...

   Every hospital in the DFW area uses Group One. And it is vendictive. My nurse manager told me the first day of orientation on the floor that if I didn't show up and take a full load the next day she would report me to group one...I had an agreemen...

   Chewy14 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas

   Somehow they operate under the Fair Credit Act. If you are an RN, I don't see how you wouldn't find a job here. There are hundreds of positions open in the hospitals. I was telling my husband about all this and he said "You solved it!!! Group One...

4. Pay at CareNow in DFW

   Chewy14 replied to Chewy14's topic in Texas

   I assume if she became manager she was an RN? Wow, doesn't look very good for the LVN. My last Dr's office job paid $15 and he said that was mid-range and that was about 5 years ago!

5. Group One background checks in Texas

   Chewy14 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas

   I believe that it us for all types of employees. They even use it for the people who apply to be a volunteer at a hospital. Group One also has non-medical co's as well. Their web site is http://www.gp1.com if you want to look at the members list.

   Does anyone happen to know what the average pay for an LVN is at CareNow? RN? Thanks

7. Group One background checks in Texas

   Chewy14 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas

   Group One can and is destroying peoples careers. I called them last week to get the low-down. Whatever is on your record will never leave. You do have the right to dispute what is reported, but you are not given notice that you have been reported....

   Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

   Ok guys, I talked with GroupOne today and got some information. They DO NOT want nurses to be afraid of them and their intentions. It is in their plans to do some education with nurses, not just HR regarding GroupOne's role. WE DO do have a right ...

   Chewy14 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas

   The website is http://www.gp1.com - I contacted the Texas BNE about this and there is nothing they can do to help. The did give me the name of an attorney who could help though if anyone is interested.

    Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    You know, sadly, I have to agree with you on the courage and the strength of nurses. I noted something very interesting a few months ago. My husband is in remission for non-hodgkins stage IV. Chemo caused him to go into liver failure and he became...

    Chewy14 replied to dina2001's topic in Home Health

    Herein lies the problem...the agency doesn't care!!! The pts family brings them in money, you take it. If you have a problem with it, they will just send someone else out. I have worked pediatric hh for 10+ years and I have experienced the same pr...

    Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    You are sooo right!!! I was thinking about this the other day. I am a history major and in doing my research, it dawned on me that we call North America a free country, we have all these "Rights", but in reality, we are not free at all. We have fr...

    Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have some great ideas and that is exactly what I am interested in doing. I would love to get a group of people together and take it to the media etc. This has angered me for years that they have this power. I always thought it strange ...

    Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Sunnyjohn, how did you get them to work with you? Were their claims against you as minor as quitting during orientation because of a scheduling problem, or because they agreed to a mentoring program, but immediately put you on your own? Do you thin...

15. NON Group-One hopsitals

    Chewy14 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great idea to line through. The problem I think is that if you don't sign it, they won't go any further. This really infuriates me. I looked up the site for GroupOne and they even have universities and programs that are now using this as ...
