1. Nursing Shortage

   indiansfan replied to donna65738's topic in General Nursing

   I think it does depend on the location. Where I live there is definitely NOT a nurse shortage...there are so many applicants for one job you now see some of the ones you are up against & although nobody says it the male nurses usually always get ...

2. Cold blooded administration

   indiansfan replied to Aviationurse's topic in Geriatric

   Even if the complaint is SUPPOSED to be kept confidential it is not always the case. I have seen it many times where the state comes in the administration end up finding out who filed the complaint.

   Here it in June now & that employer now says I was fired for misconduct. I contacted an attorney & he says nothing can be done because it was at-will employment. I have been fighting 8 weeks now for unemployment. The employer even denied me C...

5. How do you deal with an insensitive CNA?

   indiansfan replied to arelle68's topic in Geriatric

   That works unless your DON favors the aids. I was wrongly accused of "misconduct" because of an irate aid, was terminated & denied unemployment. Now here I sit looking for over a month & almost homeless because I can't find a position. I have...

   indiansfan replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric

   I can notclaim anything except I did NOT do what the employer accused me of doing but I had no way of proving myself. In Ohio it is like you are taking the money out of someone's wallet. I can not see how this employer could even think of firing me, ...

   Watch your back, you may get fired like I did.....because thisaid was about the same & the DON did nothing after I reported things several times.... Good luck

10. In your experience have you seen this happen?

    indiansfan replied to Smith-Lee's topic in Geriatric

    Never in 25 yrs have I seen this happen. I would get her out of there fast then file a complaint with the state dept of health & the ombudsman. I have seen quite a bit & it is aweful what facilities get away with. I agree, the facility needs ...

    indiansfan replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric

    Today was terminated & attorney said Ohio law only covers employees IF terminated for discrimation reasons. I never cursed or argued but reason for termination was arguing with another employee & creating a hostile environment for the residen...

13. Back stabbing STNA....HELP !!

    indiansfan replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric

    I am sorry, I did nothing wrong. One demented resident (well document in her chart) is the ONLY witness. Do you think that STNA would have stood for herself to be sent home & not me if I had cursed?? SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THAT.

14. Back stabbing STNA....HELP !!

    indiansfan replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric

    I do not have the authority to make anyone leave when the DON or ADON is in the building. I did tell the DON what the STNA said to the resident. Today I filed for unemployment although I am just suspended because I wanted my employer to know I am not...
