    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Good Grief!!!! People go to Disney to get whatever they want. That's the draw. You pay a lot of money and you get to bake and sweat with every fat Walmart refugee in the World with minimum wage...

    Failed drug test, getting reported to BON

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to troubledrn12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe if you retained an attorney he could write a letter of inquiry to the BON asking if any complaints have been filed against your license with the additional caveat that you have retained counsel...

    Er Mer Ger... Getting on this site is hard!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to RN.What's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, start over again and tell us what you are accused of and where you are in the process. The fact that your boss is a drunk god-squad jerk really has no tangible impact on what you are facing....

    YES - get an attorney

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to GuyRN2003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My biggest regret was not recognizing the complete adversarial nature of these programs. I agree get an attorney and fight every step of the way. These monitoring programs are not set up to help...

    Thank God the day of the martyr is drawing to a close. Its pathetic and self serving nonsense. Delivering high quality medical care is a business to all the players in the industry and has been for...

    Lack of "customer service" as beneficial factor for chronic disease process?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    Really the "Disneyland Model"?!?!? I totally made that up & never thought even any hospital "leader" would be plain stupid enough to apply such a thing. WOW never underestimate the stupidity of...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for your kind words Still. If I need something from them I call multiple times a day. No pretense of giving two doo-doos about my case manager or polite conversation. It was the same for my...

    New nurse, how to deal with coworkers yelling at you/talking behind your back..

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to xojessicalynnxo25's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh I could probably talk for days about this but in my opinion a bunch powerless nurses and social workers who have been ignored for decades have been given power over other nurses who either must do...

    Vaping

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to jerseygirlxox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I drove myself crazy with this issue. Finally I figured if ETOH wasn't on the label I was gonna do. I've been vaping about 3 months and have had many tests & its been

    NP or Physician for men?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to ImTheCuteBoyNursesLove's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yeah if you are 19 I'd advise being a doc. Money may not be "the answer" but in my experience more is better. In both positions you get to help folks and your hours (besides residency or NP school)...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to troubledrn12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree trauma I just hope that gambit works. It seems like you are not self-reporting if they already got the goods on you so to

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    The marketplace will always fill a demand when the compensation package is attractive enough. Tell the powers that be to get off their wallets and make these open positions more attractive. It's...

    Was I wrong?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Munch's topic in General Nursing

    OldDude, they aren't hiring enough Nurses by design. 7-8 Nurses pitching in and doing OT on an as needed basis with bare-boned staffing is a poop-ton cheaper than hiring say 10 nurses on a unit. The...
