  2. Is this legal?

    How would you be 'forced' to come in on a day off? What will they do? Drive over and drag you in? Please... I work my scheduled time. I never call in. If they were to (last minute, after schedule is posted) schedule me on a day when I am not schedule...
  3. A one time BP should be looked at in context, along with symptomatic versus not...A single 'low' BP means nothing without qualifiers.
  4. Vent thread... when to send a pt out

  12. I hate it!!!

    That's not the point...They likely don't pay anything...Public assistance foots the bill..
  13. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Excellent post traumanurse... When I was a kid, I (purposely) broke windows in what I thought was an abandoned building...The owners found out it was me (small town) and my parents paid the owner back... Imagine them telling the building owner that t...
  14. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    I'm just tired of paying for others' poor choices...If a family member makes a poor choice, the family should come together and take responsibility, not thrust it upon the taxpayers... My sister had a kid at 16, and my parents stepped up to the plate...
  15. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    "Had to be put on Medicaid" No...That was your choice... I was working prn 2 years ago...My 2 and 4 year olds were 90/month each...Cigna HMO, great coverage...Opened the phone book, and shopped around... It's my responsibility, not the state's
