  1. Unlicensed Care Givers, Titles

  2. Unlicensed Care Givers, Titles

    Dear Karen, Manager Manager is the office manager. This is a private practice office. Although the office is owned by the MD, the staff is "leased" from the hospital. Wierd. So in essence, I am employed by the hospital, which, I would think, would m...
  3. Unlicensed Care Givers, Titles

    I have been offered a position as a Manager of a MD office that uses LPN, RNs and Medical assistants. Any advice on the MAs? I am nervous about the liability. Of course the Docs, who are nice, are clueless and call eveyone Nurses. That has to stop. T...

    Kaylesh, What made you decide to go to Scotland? If the pay is bad, why do you stay? What is it like there?

    I want to thank everyone for their kindness. When I wrote the post, I was feeling extremely low. It was late, and I was tired too. I am going to try to take my time to find out what I want to do. I don't want to rush in to another bad job. It has bee...
  9. Giving up...

    I am about to give up. I feel very let down by this career. i left a job after 10 years., thinking I could go back into the hosp. learn something new. I got fired. Too slow. My last employer of 10 years told a person checking my references that "Our...

    It is hard, but you can do it. We did. And when you are finished you will have an incredible feeling of accomplishment. You can be one of the people who create change for the better of our profession.

    Thank you for all your support. I am so happy that I found this web site. I have been feeling so forlorn and alone, wondering what I have done to cause my trouble. I realize we all have a share in what comes our way, but to know that so many other nu...
  14. ...The Young Also Eat the Old

    I have been a nurse for 24 years, but out of the hospital for 20. I recently, in a temporary state of insanity, left a position where I had worked for ten years. Like so many places that employ nurses, there was little postitive feedback, nurses were...
  15. Why there is a shortage of nurses.

    I totally agree with _JT, Why do we as nurses perpetuate this dog-eat-dog mentality? Is it because we are so "catty" and competitive? As a female dominated profession, I still cringe when I hear women say, "I would rather work with men". After 24 y...
