  1. Depressed about working ER

    CseMgr1 replied to ernurse2244's topic in Emergency

    I feel for you. I had been at work for only an hour yesterday morning, when I suddenly became diaphoretic, cold and clammy, with waves of nausea. Fearing that I was having a silent MI, my supervisor...

  2. 3rd week in home health, ready to quit

    CseMgr1 replied to SRbear's topic in Home Health

    You're not being unrealistic. They are. I worked in home health for 18 years, and left it for good back in 2000, after they dumped 12-16 visits on me both weekend days, then proceeded to cut my salary...

  3. On Call dilemma

    CseMgr1 replied to AngiRN's topic in Home Health

    TELL me about it! I did 14 after-hour visits in one week once...and HALF of them were for admissions, that they couldn't (or wouldn't) schedule during the regular work day. I informed my manager that...

  4. Is there nursing after 50?

    CseMgr1 replied to Malt123's topic in General Nursing

    Age discrimination happens every day. My sister, who is not a nurse, and after working for the same company for 19 years, was called onto the carpet one day and fired for "poor performance", which was...

  5. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    CseMgr1 replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    It's amazing what people in high places are allowed to get away with...yet, if we f**t sideways, we hear about it. Being held accountable for one's behavior and actions is a two-way street, but they...

  6. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    CseMgr1 replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    CseMgr1 replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. I was fired for refusing to give injections incorrectly!

    CseMgr1 replied to katlpn6's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Good God! Who taught her to do that?? Get yourself a lawyer, hun. Standards and Practice are clearly on your side...and not hers!

  9. Merry Christmas!

    CseMgr1 replied to fence's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Amen to that! :Santa3: I have spent the past two days fighting with an unscruptulous online merchant and my bank, trying to recoup an unauthorized debit (to no avail)...which has literally wiped out...

  10. Any facilities that stop accepting pts if there is insufficient staff?

    CseMgr1 replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in General Nursing

    I remember those days (b-r-r-r-r!). One year (the day after Christmas), a flu epidemic swept through our community, and the floodgates of HELL literally opened up. We had people stacked up in private...

  11. Losing It at Work

    CseMgr1 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I was at work yesterday morning, when a woman, who works in another department next to mine was heard to shout: "I ain't crazy!" Moments later she was running down the hallway, still mumbling and...

  12. Getting Canned at Exit Interview

    CseMgr1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had heard that a former co-worker of mine had turned in her resignation effective November 10th. So, I paid her a visit this morning, to find out what was going on. She told me that she was...

  13. Getting Canned at Exit Interview

    CseMgr1 replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    The Director of a Home Health Agency I used to work for several years ago tried to pull the same s*** on me, after I had turned in my two weeks notice. I didn't find this out until after I had left,...

  14. Getting Canned at Exit Interview

    CseMgr1 replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    She sent us an e-mail this afternoon and said she had no idea why she was given the "bum's rush". But, it was meant to happen, as she was interviewed AND hired for a teaching position at a local...

  15. Is there a website to find out about a Revoked license?

    CseMgr1 replied to RN2BinPA's topic in General Nursing

    Or, if you live in Georgia, go to the Secretary of State's Website:

  16. Getting Canned at Exit Interview

    CseMgr1 replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    I found out from one of her co-workers this morning that she received a bunch of exit interview forms via e-mail yesterday. Since these forms are not given out until the last day of work, she called...

  17. Getting Canned at Exit Interview

    CseMgr1 replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Good question. For some reason, they would not allow her to work out her two weeks notice...and I am going to try and find out why. Maybe she finally just got fed up and told them to stick it where...

  19. What do you HATE to do at work?

    CseMgr1 replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, our performance is measured on how many referrals we process a day (it's the quantity, not quality that counts, sort of thing). We live and die by 'em. What a way to make a

  20. Nurses leaving in droves...

    CseMgr1 replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not only are the nurses leaving in droves where I work...but so are our Managers. The Manager of our department submitted her resignation just last week..and is leaving tomorrow. She's the fourth...

  21. What do you HATE to do at work?

    CseMgr1 replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    How about "customer service": the MOST used AND abused two words by our corporate flunkies...followed by the inevitable "metrics"...which, I have already heard, are going to be increased and will be...

  22. What do you HATE to do at work?

    CseMgr1 replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    Going to stupid, useless staff meetings, and hearing the same rhetoric by Management...over and over and OVER again.

  23. Stressed out and Getting Out

    CseMgr1 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am making the most of this beautiful and unusually cool August morning, by sending out resumes to prospective employers. Why? because the stress level has gotten so bad where I work, that people are...
