I'm not in nursing, I am male and have been sexually harassed by both female and males in the workplace back in the 90s. Then and perhaps now it's not something a male can goto HR or complain about because you would not be taken seriously and or you...

Wow, wife paid $113 two years ago and now its $166! There was a little note from DORA these fees are statutorily required and cannot be removed. It would have been nice if they had something on the renewal page about what these fees were for. Not...

Wow, I know you are probably relieved to have this all over, however that testing company owes you a substantial amount of money. You need to write down all the costs you incurred over the year this took place, drug testing, the hair test, lawyers ...

This issue isnt specific to nursing, you see it in any career field. Basically it all boils down to what they think will make the company money. A new parking garage, new equipment in the cancer wing, etc bring in people to the hospital. Higher n...

This happened because the bullies are not just students in schools, they are also the teachers, clinical instructors, and administrators. It is sad that judgement wasn't 10 times the amount. 75K is probably 1/3 what they would have spent on their o...

That is what I thought also, even worse that it only applied to "Nursing" staff. Not the Administrators and of course not the Drs, Surgeons, etc. When working a 7 to 7 shift it gets very dark 7:00pm in the winter months. I had my wife call me when...

Not every need for CCW is an armed gunman bursting into the hospital. A while back at a hospital in my town a young nurse was strangled to death in a stairwell. I believe it was her ex boyfriend that did it. She was only a few feet from co workers ...

Sounds like my wife's place of work. In the past they always offered a group class for everyone. Now this year its was you are on your own. Luckily for DW this LTC facility is attached to a larger hospital network, and since DW worked in the hosp...

My wife threatens me if I don't behave she will put me in a nursing home with carpet!

Would you take a Salary position in home health? Was told it would be between 2 and 6 cases per day.

Thanks, I was asking this question for DW, I work in the IT field. I know in the IT field there is absolutely no benefit for for the employee. If we do not work 40 hours we have to fill in the missing hours with PTO. Often I work 8 to 9 hours du...

Posting for my wife, for the past three or so years she has loved the unit she is working in. Loved the patients, loved her co workers. About a year ago she ran into a communication issue with one doctor who was frustrated with DWs inability to "...

Many moons ago, I was out of work and applying for work at several different places. So I interview with company A and they really sounded like they wanted to hire me but had a few other candidates to interview. So I go about my week and interv...

Note to self, never accept the banana smoothie while in the hospital...

I'm curious why the switch from Law to Nursing?

dw had one doozie of an incident… it was three weeks before graduation during her last clinical rotation… dw was listing off the drugs her patient was being given that day in a report type situation to her clinical instructor. she misspoke and called...

you can be sued with no assets and a judgment can be rendered against your future earnings ie wage garnishments...

i'd place bets this is less of an employer mandate and more of a demand by their health insurance carrier… dw took a similar test when she was hired on last year, but i think it was more to the line of carry the box of rocks across the room...

the 50lb weight lift requirement is common across many industries. the employer is following a recommendation from osha, which in turn went to niosh (national institute for occupational safety and health) a division on the cdc, niosh has various stu...

we were able to cash flow my wife’s schooling, so we came out the other end with no student loans. it took a lot longer because she only went one or two classes a semester until she got into the nursing program. we are very grateful we could do ...

My PPO run about $285 per month for family coverage. $20 co pay for dr, $40 for specialist, $5 generics, $20 name brand. For major events the plan covers 90% after my $1,000 deductible is met until I hit $3,000 max per year it then switches to 100%. ...

These are all good reasons if you can afford it you should get long term care insurance when you are 60 years old. LTC care can run 30k to 50K a year, as you can see you could run through your retirement quickly. Statically the most expensive year ...

You should point blank ask your employer if they are withholding federal income tax, FICA (social Security), Medicare, and state taxes from your paycheck. If not you are indeed being treated as an IC and unless you meet the IRS guidelines incorrectly...

actually in the us the irs has rules about this, an employer cannot just declare you a contract worker and issue you a 1099. they can get in trouble if they misclassify you... http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html
