I know exactly what you are talking about. I quit my job last year working for an HMO because it had too, turned into a sweatshop and the focus was no longer on quality and had shifted to quantity....

I resigned from my position as Clinical Manager because I basically had no authority to discipline the very same nurses who are now telling the Director that I have no skills despite the contrary when...

Not really. I can't seem to fit in any type of nursing position lately. Less than a month after I resign from my position as Clinical Manager of a HHA I am told today by the Director that I don't have...
You'll do fine. I was in the final group who had to take the National Test Pool Exam which was in five parts (Medical, Peds, OB-Gyn, Psych and Surgical) and took TWO days to complete. We didn't have...
That's ridiculous. Even though I agree with one of the previous posters that taking out school loans is a long-term investment, you're SUNK if anything happens and are unable to repay them. I've read...
Ditto to what Lori just said. I resigned from my Clinical Manager position with a HHA on June 30th for the same reasons you have just stated and and have taken a PRN field nurse position until I can...
If your former boss does not want to be a doctor and have all the goodies that go along with the job, then he needs to become a taxi driver. That way he can turn his light off, whenever he doesn't...
I was summoned for Jury Duty during my Senior year of nursing school, and when I showed the summons to my Department Head, she told me I HAD to get excused, for missing clinicals was NOT an option....
I know what you mean. I just stepped down from my position after less than three months as the Clinical Manager of a HHA, for many of the reasons in which you have just described, including the fact...
I don't know who they are, as the person reporting the profanity did not give their names and wants to remain anonymous. Both the Administrator and Office Manager are aware of the hostile environment...
One of the nurses who works for our HHA was suspended last week, for documenting a visit which was never done. Tomorrow the HR director will give her a choice of either resigning or being fired. It's...
Well, ladies and gentlemen, here is the latest and greatest... Our nurse is back at work, because the higher-ups took pity on her after she complained to them she had received little or no...
They ALL are. As a matter of fact, our office manager approached me right after I started work at the HHA I'm at now and asked me about "fixing" others' deficient chart documentation. I politely told...
No, she gets paid hourly. And I hope both of these nurses get their licenses yanked for what they did, for committing Medicare fraud is a felony. I've worked for at least two HHA's whose owners served...
As badly as I needed the job I was hired for two months ago as a Clinical Manager for a HHA, I'm already thinking about leaving. Why? For the very same reasons everyone here has already discussed,...
Loyalty doesn't mean crap anymore. My late father worked for the same company for 34 years and finally retired at the age of 58, after they started hiring younger people and paying them more than he...
My son, who is 28, has suffered from insomnia for years. Two weeks ago he finally went to see a sleep specialist who not only confirmed his diagnosis, but also told him that he has sleep apnea. Even...
I'm wondering the same thing myself. She admitted to me that she has written up two repeat offenders several times...but hasn't fired either of them, because the agency is so short staffed. Others who...
Our HHA has several hundred policies and procedures, but trying to get people to follow them is another matter. Our Administrator, in an effort to keep more nurses from leaving our already critically...
TELL me about it. I've been a Clinical Manager for a HHA for almost two months now, and by some mysterious powers am thought to be able to solve everyone's problems...instantly. The place is...
The only IV training I ever received was during the seven years I worked as an LPN at a small community hospital, where we were all certified in IVT. Thank God, for I received 0 days of IVT training...
