  1. Burned Out and Quit Today!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Let me tell you, it took a LOT of courage for me to do what I did yesterday. I was almost physically sick by the time I asked my supervisor to meet with me, and when I handed her my resignation...

  2. Unfair Discipline at Work...What do you Think?

    CseMgr1 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I think, as one poster said, this is damn typical of Management's mindless and solicitous behavior these days. All we have to do is crook our pinky fingers in the wrong direction, in order to get...

  3. A GREAT Interview Experience!!!

    CseMgr1 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've been through a lot of interviews during my career...and, to tell you the truth, the majority of them were jokes. Either I've had to field questions which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the job...

  5. What did someone do that you knew to get fired or kicked out of school?

    CseMgr1 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    pathetic, isn't it? they seem to have "gold card status", coming in late, only half doing their work,then proceeding to take long, leisurely lunches and leaving early, while the responsible ones are...

  6. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    CseMgr1 replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The VA System is already an atrocity..how much worse can it get?? During the years I worked in Home Health, I listened (and saw) one horror story after the other, including patients who had to wait...

  7. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    CseMgr1 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    No surprises here. I know that this is off the subject, but the lawyers are the REAL winners. My family and I have just settled out of court (and for peanuts, I might add), with the owners of a...

  8. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    CseMgr1 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I believe in the quality of life. I realize that this is an emotional issue and that there are no easy answers for this poor woman or her family. And, to make matters worse, the Bush Administration is...

  9. Accused of Cheating on Midterm... help!

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

    When I was a Junior in nursing school and had completed my major care plan for Med-Surg II, a classmate and I were both accused of cheating on it. An instructor had rifled through our paperwork which...

  10. Please help us deal with problem co-worker

    CseMgr1 replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in General Nursing

    It never ceases to amaze me how people like her are consistently rewarded for doing nothing..while the ones who are left to pick up the slack and clean up after them are kicked in the teeth. I...

  11. RN since 1976....tired, discouraged...Suggestions?

    CseMgr1 replied to gypsyangelrn's topic in General Nursing

    You are not alone. I will be 54 in June, and have been in nursing in one shape, fashion or form since 1970. I LOVED nursing at first, being able to make a difference in my patients' lives. Now that...

  12. How did you "get" the skill of starting IV's?

    CseMgr1 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I was fortunate enough during my years as an L.P.N. to have worked in a small community hospital where we not only did all the nursing care and passed meds, but we also functioned as the "IV Team". We...

  13. Substandard Healthcare d/t high Patient to nurse ratios

    CseMgr1 replied to shandy84's topic in General Nursing

    I was on the receiving end of a similar atrocity back in early January, when I suddenly fell ill with an acute viral illness and collapsed at work. I was rushed via ambulance to the nearest ER which...

  14. Fired for Abuse/harrassment

    CseMgr1 replied to tennesseenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Apply for intermittent leave under the FMLA. I have a co-worker who, like you, began experiencing health problems two years ago, including kidney failure, diabetes and gout. If she misses any time due...

  15. Fired for Abuse/harrassment

    CseMgr1 replied to tennesseenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like Standard Procedure in our profession nowadays:we're guilty until proven innocent.

  16. Quit or be fired?

    CseMgr1 replied to javanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    That was a blessing in disguise, hun. I quit a job (that I had just started) rather than get fired years ago, after my son (who was three years old at the time), came down with a fever of 104 degrees...

  17. old skills that we do not use anymore

    CseMgr1 replied to sassykitkatt's topic in General Nursing

    I was an aide back in 1970 and 1971 and worked the night shift...when the protocol for BE preps was "Enemas Until Clear"...which meant exactly that in those days. One night, when I was the only aide...

  18. New Homebound rule???

    CseMgr1 replied to CardioTrans's topic in Home Health

    This is one of many reasons I'm grateful I'm not doing HH anymore. There was no continuity of care, for every time I got a patient with both 'Care and 'Caid, I kept getting directives from the Powers...

    CseMgr1 replied to DallasRN's topic in Home Health

    Good for you. You work to live...and NOT the other way around, as these agencies want to make you do. I've BEEN there, DONE that, too...and it's time to get out, when the job starts costing you more...

    CseMgr1 replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

  23. What was your Pinning Ceremony like?

    CseMgr1 replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My pinning ceremony was held on June 12, 1981 in one of the city's biggest Baptist Churches (the school was one of those now-defunct, hospital-based diploma schools, owned and operated by the State's...
