  1. Meds you hate to give....

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

    I used to hate giving Geocillin (Penicillin G). Not only did it stink to high heaven when it was initially mixed, but the vial became red-hot, too.

  2. Pt/Family RAGE

    CseMgr1 replied to sawbuck's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Make that gag a maggot. "Customer Service" is nothing but fodder for the poor, spoiled and entitled society we live in. As for me, I'm getting mean in my old age: If these hostile and ignorant...

  3. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's just a fact that our country is not run by our government, but rather by big business and like-minded individuals who will stop at nothing to keep their warped ideals of The American Dream...

  4. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I find the above posts very moving and frightening. We are considered dangerous to the Powers That May Be, if we want to do what is best for our patients and effect change. JFK, RFK and MLK also...

  5. Pt/Family RAGE

    CseMgr1 replied to sawbuck's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, YES...Many, MANY times. I once had a rather nasty encounter with the son of of a home care patient who had been inappropriately admitted (and under political pressure, I might add), to our HHA...

  6. Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    RX: Please take the $1800 check you are drawing every month and rent yourself a house or an apartment instead of buying drugs with it...and STAY the %$@!! out of our hospital.

  7. I finally Cracked...

    CseMgr1 replied to Adam D. RN2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, You are a NURSE...and NOT Superman, despite what the Powers That May Be THINK we are. Give yourself a break. If I received a dollar for every time I had a meltdown while working in the clinical...

  8. What is/was your favorite nursing specialty?

    CseMgr1 replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Nursing

    Case Management. It's definitely a challenge, getting patients care coordinated through our convulted health care system, but the rewards are

  9. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm getting to that point, too. My current temporary position is going to end on the 15th. And even though they have other jobs posted in the same facility that I could probably do, my heart's not...

  10. Are you too old, tired and unable to do your job?

    CseMgr1 replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    It's called Reality

  11. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This post needs to be sent to EVERY newspaper, TV affiliate and Cable News Network in this country. The ramifications of our broken Health Care System which is mired in a self-serving bureaucracy and...

  12. Can you pay the bills on your nursing salary?

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

    I could...if only I could find a FULL-time permanent

  13. Age when you had your first child?

    CseMgr1 replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was 25 when I became pregnant (Ooops, we FORGOT something, honey!), and 26 by the time I had my one and only son, who will be 28 on December 21st. It seems like I just had him

  14. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    CseMgr1 replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The so-called "ethics" of the companies who own these health care facilities who allow termination for whistleblowing is a pathetic farce. Their motto should read: "Do as we say, and not as we do". I...

  15. Tricked and Ticked off about it

    CseMgr1 replied to bloviate's topic in Travel

    Been there, done that too. I was recruited by an Agency this summer for a Telephonic Case Management assignment....only to discover that it was the equivalent of working in a "boiler room". That...

  16. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    CseMgr1 replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going through a similar scenario: two bankruptcies in ten years (you would THINK I had learned my lesson from the first one! ). Anyway, I've never had any problem getting a job due to my bad...

  17. Nit picky, demanding, control freak families

    CseMgr1 replied to mattsmom81's topic in Home Health

    This is one of many reasons why I quit doing home health over five years ago. As a supervisor, I began to catch more and more hell over the "make, type and model" of the nurses and CNA's assigned to...

  18. No Relief, Embarrasing Moment

    CseMgr1 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me when I was working one hairy 3-11 shift years ago...and was WAY too busy to even remember that I was on my period...until a Tech grabbed me by my arm and pulled me aside. "Get into...

  19. Bad at chemistry

    CseMgr1 replied to olanurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I made a C in high school Chemistry and failed college Chemistry with a D the first go-around. However, I passed it with a high B the second time, as I had no other courses to take that same...

  20. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    CseMgr1 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Put the names of the people who instituted this joke on the card and see just HOW fast it gets

  21. Need Advice on Songs for Graduation~*~*~

    CseMgr1 replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Students

    "Do You Know Where (You're Going To?)", the Theme From "Mahogany" was played and sung at our Nursing School Graduation. A very beautiful and moving song. Here are the lyrics and a link to a midi file,...

  22. Terminated from LTC!

    CseMgr1 replied to Serenity USVI's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I recently read where the death of an elderly postsurgical patient had been directly linked to her own surgeon...who was infected with Staph. She died of a massive sepsis. I wouldn't want that on my...

  23. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    CseMgr1 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You, too? :angryfire Don't even get me started about these people, when they look you straight in the face during your interview, smile and tell you how impressed they are with your experience...only...

  24. treating a visitor of your pt? reprimanded for not doing it....

    CseMgr1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you didn't sign it. How can they hold you accountable for an action that they don't even have a policy for??? The whole idea of having a Policy and Procedure in place is to cover your rear end...

  25. A Hard Lesson Learned

    CseMgr1 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Marla, You are a damn good nurse. I wish I had your eloquence and skills. You did your best, with what you have been given to work with...as we all are doing in the midst of this health care crisis....
