  2. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't see any need for this thread to die...not until the mighty corporations who pay lip service to their so-called "mission statements" are brought to their knees. My own father was a victim of...

  3. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    CseMgr1 replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Just ask my son's 19-year-old SIL, who is pregnant for the second time in less than a year (she miscarried the first). As soon as she found out she had been approved for full Medicaid benefits, she...

    CseMgr1 replied to Purple Princess's topic in Emergency

    CseMgr1 replied to SK-222's topic in General Nursing

    There is a story in my local newspaper today about a man, who despite having won $350,000 in 2004, $1 million last year and $2.5 million this month off scratch-off tickets...continues to work as an...

  7. my DON called today and told me i lost my job

    CseMgr1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Being a small employer, their insurance benefits are probably self-funded, which makes your case against them an even stronger one. And as for your former DON, she is in serious violation of HIPPA...

  8. If you won the lottery, would you still do your job?

    CseMgr1 replied to SK-222's topic in General Nursing

    NO way in......Hadees. My poor, tired body has had enough of being dragged out of bed every morning at 4:45 AM and having to make a two-hour commute to do the will of hateful and dishonest employers...

  9. my DON called today and told me i lost my job

    CseMgr1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You and the others described here are victims of unlawful termination, because employers look at getting rid of a sick employee as an easy and convenient way to reduce their risk in the eyes of their...

  10. my DON called today and told me i lost my job

    CseMgr1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. "One call, that's all", as a local lawyer here advertises on T.V. America....home of the brave...and the uninsured. This makes me sick. I hope you get the justice which you are due. Keep us...

  11. Uninsured=financial ruin

    CseMgr1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My sister has been without health insurance since 2002. First, she lost her job followed by her COBRA, when it ran out. She tried to buy a policy afterwards, but was turned down because of her medical...

  14. Does your work call you at 0530?

    CseMgr1 replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I can beat that: Once while I was on FMLA due to a neck injury, the nurse who was covering for my HH patients came banging on my door one day. She couldn't get my patient's PDCA pump to work, and her...

  15. Stressed out & Fuming

    CseMgr1 replied to BubbleRN's topic in Home Health

    Not making light of anyone's situation here, but at one point during my (former) HH career, I was covering 22 counties in a large metropolitan area. That didn't last long. I quit after three months....

  16. CM Certification- how long did you take to study for your CCM exam?

    CseMgr1 replied to Lizzy6's topic in Case Management

    For me, the process took six months. I purchased and read twice, from cover to cover The Case Manager's Handbook by Catherine Mullahy. I'm glad I did, for the CCM exam covered many topics discussed in...

  17. They Think I'm Working Christmas??

    CseMgr1 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    That's it. They purposely manipulated your schedule, thinking you would have no other choice but work it, being given three days notice. The entire setup smells of blackmail, and while I were at it,...

    CseMgr1 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If they are that unhappy with the care that their loved ones are receiving, then they need to do what my sister and I did with our father: sign them out, pack up their belongings, take them home and...

  21. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    CseMgr1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This gal is obviously in the wrong profession. I don't see anywhere in the Nurse Practice Act where we are allowed to pick and choose our patients based on their Nationality. You did the right

    CseMgr1 replied to camrave's topic in Home Health

    CseMgr1 replied to ww2's topic in General Nursing

    CseMgr1 replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Sounds like first degree BLACKMAIL, to me. I thought husbands were supposed to be supportive. I guess that's why I haven't had one in the 23 years since mine up and left in order to shack up...
