    CseMgr1 replied to BigB's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  2. How to handle offers?

    CseMgr1 replied to intothemoon's topic in Nursing Career

    I had two job interviews this week and three more scheduled for next week. One of the companies I have interviewed with has already requested that I come back for testing and background checks. They...

  3. Home Health Fiasco!

    CseMgr1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health

    Unfortunately this is the rule, rather than the exception, with hospital case managers having very little time these days to do discharge planning before their patients' LOS runs out, which involves a...

  4. My Job being bought out OH NO! need advice.

    CseMgr1 replied to happthearts's topic in Home Health

    I know firsthand where you are coming from. Every HHA I worked for from 1982-2000 has either closed or been bought out. I watched the erosion of quality care as PPS set in, cutting reimbursement, jobs...

  5. Evil People

    CseMgr1 replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    You should have stuck that IV into Mom's arm,

  6. Help! Wicked Sore Throat!

    CseMgr1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Try a good old standby: mix salt into a glass of warm water and gargle several times a day. Listerine also has a new saline gargle out, too. Between this and Advil or Tylenol, this should help get you...

  7. Where have all the experienced nurses gone?

    CseMgr1 replied to mharrah's topic in Medical-Surgical

    To hell in a handbasket, that's where! I am now unemployed after working for the last 36 years of my life. The dominoes began falling after I was forced to quit a good paying job with an HMO because I...

  8. CNA before RN

    CseMgr1 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Students

    I worked as an Aide for 18 months prior to going to a Technical College to get my L.P.N., then went back to school for my R.N. seven years later. Looking back, working as an Aide was the equivalent of...

  9. Coworker quit/fired! Should we know what happened or not?

    CseMgr1 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=ClaireMac Now I'm not saying that the management should tell us what happened, however, I think that it might be a good idea for moral that they hold a staff meeting and address the issues...

  10. What has happened to simple, basic care???

    CseMgr1 replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    It went out the door when Managed Care took over, like everything else. When I was hospitalized seven years ago with pneumonia, no one even asked or offered to help me bathe during the three days I...

  11. Losing money being a nurse

    CseMgr1 replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    I was newly divorced and a single Mom, when Reagan cut out all deductions for interest on credit card and car payments, then stood up in front of the TV cameras and announced: "Read my lips: NO NEW...

  12. Terminated for typing a petition

    CseMgr1 replied to cdsable's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope you turned in these folks to the State and CMS. I've worked for at least two HHA's in this state who were shut down and their owners imprisoned for the above offenses that you describe. What...

  13. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just saw a news report on T.V. about a top government worker who got demoted after she blew the whistle on Haliburton. Her lawyer, who works for the Whistleblowers organization stated that the main...

  14. "GROUP ONE" victims

    CseMgr1 replied to IWant2Believe's topic in General Nursing

    Group One is nothing but glorified McCarthyism, a throwback to an era where lives and careers were ruined at the whim of one man...until Edward R. Murrow stepped in and put HIM out of business. The...

  15. "GROUP ONE" victims

    CseMgr1 replied to IWant2Believe's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they should change their name to Blackball.com.

  16. Losing money being a nurse

    CseMgr1 replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    Sure we are. Even though I made more money last year working in the private sector than I had ever made in my life, I barely could pay my bills. Both my homeowner's and car insurance premiums have...

  17. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    you've been through the ultimate betrayal, all right, and you have every right to be hurt and angry. but what you need to do now is to focus all this energy into action which will help to ensure that...

  18. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All you need to do now is to turn over all these documents to your attorney and let him/her make those folks who WRONGFULLY terminated you pay for it PUBLICLY in court. THEY are DEAD

  19. Abnormal PAP: I'm scared!

    CseMgr1 replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    I think I had maybe one "normal" pap smear during my 36 childbearing years. One of my gynecologists told me years ago that I was born with an abnormal cervix: the glands which help to protect it are...

  20. Mommie Dearest

    CseMgr1 replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    I saw a documentary on Joan Crawford on TCM earlier this year, which was narrated by her daughter Christina (author of "Mommie Dearest"), who recalled that she was also abused as a child.

  21. I Did It---I QUIT!!

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't think of a better Christmas gift for you to give to yourself. I did the same thing seven months ago, and have not looked back. Enjoy that time off, ya hear?

  22. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope you saved all of your commendations and performance evaluations. My sister did, and it enabled her to win an out-of-court settlement when her employer terminated her for so-called "poor...

  23. EEEEEK! Please Help Me! Losing New Job????

    CseMgr1 replied to rnmom3153's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a link to the DOL's website, which gives some helpful information on filing a complaint against an employer. I am going to bookmark it myself. Good luck to you!...

  24. EEEEEK! Please Help Me! Losing New Job????

    CseMgr1 replied to rnmom3153's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. The handwriting's on the wall, all right. I may be in for the same trouble, when the results of my drug screen comes in later this week and is positive for Lortab, which I have been taking for...

    CseMgr1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical
