Re: anyone work for manor care?
Hi,
I'm from nw ohio. I have taken a different position as a case manager with
a private company.
I have worked as an NP for the past 6 years.
I was 'let go' from my last position in a private practice due to
financial reasons. The doc (only one there) needed someone to cover his main practice and research facility. That was last April. I wasn't 'allowed' to see patients for almost 2 months. There was talk of hiring another MD, and I asked what would happen to my position if that occured. I was repeatedly reassured that I would have a position. Well, 2 weeks after the new doc came on board, and about 48 hours after one of the nurses in the research dept. passed her NP boards, I was told I was losing money for the practice. Coincidence? The week he let me go, I had a least 15 patients scheduled a day, but the new doc was there, and took over those patients. The 'new' NP was also seeing patients in the practice after I left. When I hired on, I asked if she was going to see patients in the practice, and she told me 'no, I'm not interested in doing that'
This doc also reniged on the severance pay he promised. He is not an honorable man, but he is a good clinician. I've met a lot of those during my career.
So after looking for an NP job for 2 1/2 months, and my cash reserve almost gone, I'm out of that role. I had applied for the NP position at the hcr Waterville facility, went through 2 interviews, and haven't heard from them., even after I called, no one called me back.
I have never done case management before, I'll miss the pay I used to get, and the time off (only worked 4 days a week), but I know one of the people who work for the company, and she's happy there.
I have been a RN for over 30 years and I don't want to go through more interviews.
Thanks for listening to me rant. I'm not quite over my last experience, but things will get better. At least I know I'll make my house payment in Feb.
