    Sorry, I meant Galadriel724, not CharlieRN in above

  2. anyone work for UHS facilities?

    Nanaie4ever replied to texascowgirl's topic in Psychiatric

    I have also worked UHS, they are a very money oriented system. To the detriment of the pts and the staff. Also wondering if CharlieRN and I are in the same area. The pay here in MA is so low it's...

    Nanaie4ever replied to Nanaie4ever's topic in Psychiatric

    Hey CharlieRN: Thanks for replying, so far I have good news for a change. I won the first appeal and they only have 5 days left to apply for the 2nd appeal. The best news is that I now have 2 jobs....

    Nanaie4ever replied to Nanaie4ever's topic in Psychiatric

    Just an update with my "firing due to abandonment" of unit in middle of shift. I had the appeal process at the unemployment office, the company sent a rep from the HR dept who wasn't even present...

  6. Job Offer ! Hoorah!

    Nanaie4ever replied to emeraldga's topic in Case Management

    I'm sorry but that I don't know. Maybe you can ask the interviewer at the workmen's comp. Or maybe someone here does have the answer and will be able to provide it. Wish you well.

  7. Job Offer ! Hoorah!

    Nanaie4ever replied to emeraldga's topic in Case Management

    Having worked as CM in the past in psych & substance abuse, I think you will get diversified experience in both areas. Workers comp may not be quite as diversified, but the reasons for the workers...

    Nanaie4ever replied to spiri1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry Jess that you felt an "ouch". I really am. Did not mean to make you feel invalidated or put down. Sometimes (honestly : ( ) I don't get my points across very well. I usually put my foot...

    Nanaie4ever replied to spiri1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "The real question is not why they fired her, but why they ever hired a Charge Nurse with no experience!!!! I'm also shocked that a new nurse did not know enough NOT to accept a charge nurse position....

  10. The Kinder Gentler Psych Unit

    Nanaie4ever replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi Janelle: I did not mean to give the impression that I completely agree with restraint free units. I do think it is a great "idea". However, after 23 years in the psych/substance abuse field, I...

  11. The Kinder Gentler Psych Unit

    Nanaie4ever replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    This does sound great in theory however I have the same concerns of the above posters. One hospital I worked with decided after hiring a lot of new nurses and giving us a lot of really exceptional...

  12. is psych "alot" less physically demanding than med/surg?

    Nanaie4ever replied to RN1263's topic in Psychiatric

    Nanaie4ever replied to Nanaie4ever's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks Chatsdale for your reply. I have checked my license on the web Board of Nursing and it states no actions taken since 1996. (think they must do this in 10 year increments, as I've never had any...

  14. New graduate nurse fired for not having experience after 30 days .....

    Nanaie4ever replied to spiri1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    just an addendum from above, I was not fired from that job. I knew enough to quit and quit

  15. New graduate nurse fired for not having experience after 30 days .....

    Nanaie4ever replied to spiri1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I so agree with Tony. Years ago I had a similar experience and from then on did not put it on my resume. Thankfully it was also at the very beginning of my career and therefore simply appeared that I...

  16. Staffing issues

    Nanaie4ever replied to mobaby's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi Satchmo: It really all boils down to money. The CEO's who know nothing about medicine or psych, run the show. NO empty beds. Fill em up with whatever walks in the door!. I know this is how my...
