1. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

   If your daughter is hungry enough to demand waffles for breakfast, then she doesn't belong in here. BTW, the Waffle House is down the street......

2. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

   CseMgr1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing

   Don't berate me, as I am trying to complete central line care on your loved one, who is terminally ill. I am just trying to do my job. And, don't get an attitude, when I honestly tell you that I do not know the answer to every question you ask me abo...

3. Please Send Good Vibes my Way!

   Knock 'em dead, Sue! (Not literally!)

4. It's The Grim Reaper Charlie Brown

   CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

   No kidding. I dutifully sent out a resume yesterday to a radiation oncologist's office, because I have to document that I am searching for work while I am drawing unemployment. I doubt if I will ever hear back from them, because I have no back office...

5. It's The Grim Reaper Charlie Brown

   CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

   I decided (following my above post), that I am going to take the certification course for medical coders.....if I can get approved for financial aid. I just submitted my FAFSA online. If I am approved, I am going to register for the earliest availab...

6. It's The Grim Reaper Charlie Brown

   CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

   Damn, Marla. Seems that no job is safe these days. I was thinking yesterday that if I had the money, I'd enroll in a coding class at my local university and become a certified medical coder. I've done coding in the past with UM and Home Health, so th...

7. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   CseMgr1 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   My sister actually said this to my BIL last week, after he demanded that she "get his blanket and cover him up" for the 900th time: "You're not going to start this (censored) again. Get it yourself". He has been doing it ever since.

8. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

   CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

   Me, neither, Marla. As a matter of fact, I packed up a couple of blood pressure cuffs, a stethoscope, my badge and mailed them to my former employer today....after completing my initial claim for unemployment benefits. I have NO use for them, other ...

9. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

   CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

   They get away with it because they are allowed to do so. If you live in an "employer-friendly" State as I do, the labor laws are designed to protect them... and not us. I was reminded of this fact as I was given the "Bum's Rush" the other day. Their ...

10. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

    This Corporate mindset was EXACTLY as you have described, Marla. Long before I was demoted and and fired, there were ominous and troubling symptoms of an oppressive and dictatorial Corporate modus operanti: My Manager could not get through the day w...

11. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

    You got that right. I was fired today. No reason was given other than I was not a "fit" for the job. Am filing for unemployment benefits tonight. That will give me 26 weeks to find my "bliss". I'm DONE with nursing, I know that for a fact.

12. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

    There is no shame in admitting that you are burned out. Yesterday I was reminded of just how much I am burned out, as I completed a new home care admission on a 90-something-year-old man, who did not have a clue as to what was going on. He obviously ...

13. Railroaded at work

    CseMgr1 replied to Babzuptown's topic in Nursing

    I agree with the others. Give your two-week notice and move on. Better to resign than be fired.

14. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    CseMgr1 replied to Goju's topic in COVID

    With everything that is currently going on with my own family, I would have to respectfully decline. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them. Consequently, I will always be there for them...come hell, mud, flood or H1N1.

15. For Sale: Used Nurse. Dirt Cheap!

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nursing

    I wasn't fired. I was told that if I remained in this position and missed one more day in order to "care" for my family, I was going to "lose my job" (I am quoting the ED verbatim). I was then given a choice of resigning or taking a PRN position. I d...
