  1. Got my evaluation today...

    CseMgr1 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel like The Lone Ranger. I received my six-month evaluation on Friday, telling me in one breath that I am "an excellent nurse"...only to be told in another that I have a "bad attitude" because...

  2. I gave a lot of money to this place

    CseMgr1 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    My supervisor is ALLOWING the Marketing Director of a Hospice company in our area to actively solicit referrals from the CC's...just so we can get free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in return. I wanted to...

  3. Doctors and Nurses need to band together against out of touch regulatory overkill

    CseMgr1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't even get me started about that! My son was actually threatened with jail time a few years ago when my granddaughter was sick and he couldn't produce a written excuse from her Pediatrician for...

  4. has anyone been mandated to stay over their shift

    CseMgr1 replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    The last time this happened, I was working in ICU with another nurse. We only had one patient who was doing well. As I was getting ready to leave at 3:20 PM and pick up my son from Day Care, I...

  5. Doctors and Nurses need to band together against out of touch regulatory overkill

    CseMgr1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    what should only take hours takes us at least two days to document on every assessment and reassessment because of our state and federal government's mindless regs. to make matters even worse, we no...

  6. Vultures

    CseMgr1 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    A co-worker and I were just talking about this very issue today. It seems that more and more of our Clients are non-compliant and are demanding instant relief for whatever and anything that "ails"...

  7. I Quit!

    CseMgr1 replied to Super Nurse JoshuA's topic in General Nursing

    The word "Team Player" has been used (and abused) to the point where it only has meaning for those who use it exclusively for the purpose of intimidating an individual into believing that they aren't...

  8. a patient who things she's in a hotel

    CseMgr1 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I had a patient like that once many moons ago, when I was working the night shift as an Aide. When I reported my observation to one of the nurses, she proceeded to make my life a living hell...

  9. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    CseMgr1 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah, I'll just BET they are. Typical canned response from a faceless bureaucrat. I'm sorry, but the "knee-jerk" politics of Georgia have gone TOO far this time, and I find their decsion denying...

  10. Is the pay really that bad??

    CseMgr1 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    No. I work for a company which does Case Management for one of our State's Medicaid-waivered programs. We are dealing with the same problems which you describe: mandated budget cuts during a time when...

  11. Is the pay really that bad??

    CseMgr1 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I spent over 20 years of my life working 50-70 hours a week as a supervisor with NO overtime, which has contributed significantly to my burnout in this profession. Even as I speak, I have...

  12. Is the pay really that bad??

    CseMgr1 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. I work in a rural area and for a program which is State-funded. They have frozen salaries, bonuses, travel and anything else they can think of, due to mandatory budget cutbacks (our...

  13. How old were you when you began nursing school?

    CseMgr1 replied to smellyacres's topic in General Students

    I was 27 when I started and graduated five days after my 30th

  14. California budget cuts

    CseMgr1 replied to Ks mommy nurse's topic in California Nursing

    I don't live in CA, but the budget here in my State is being slashed as well, with 1,000's being laid off. My own job may be in jeopardy, for the program we service is also facing hefty budget cuts....

  15. I Quit!

    CseMgr1 replied to Super Nurse JoshuA's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago I ran into a nurse who was my former House Supervisor at this (ahem) hellhole we had both worked at. When I asked her if she was still working there, she replied that she had quit not long...

  16. Nurse fired for calling police

    CseMgr1 replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. And the doctors and hospitals I worked at backed us up. I once worked on a busy surgical floor where we had a young man who had been admitted following a MVA. Physically he was recovering well,...

  17. Nurse fired for calling police

    CseMgr1 replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    People are going to continue get away with this kind of behavior if they know it's going to be allowed. Kudos to this nurse for doing the right thing....and I hope she gets her day in

  18. Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time. (new hourly rounding sheet)

    CseMgr1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the BEST posts I have ever read on this website. And what irks the crap out of me is the fact that they are NOT making these decisions based on what is "best" for their...

  19. My hellish day on the skilled floor (pull up a chair)

    CseMgr1 replied to kiszi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My last day of ever working on a skilled floor occurred when my only LPN was pulled to OB...and I was left with one tech to care for 40 patients. I had no med nurse, and five of my patients were...

  20. Dosage Calculations: How to know which syringe to use?

    CseMgr1 replied to Papi15437's topic in General Students

    Here is one example: Dr. Jones orders 4,500 units of Heparin sq. You have on hand: Heparin 10,000 units/cc. 10,000 units : 1cc :: 4,500 units : x cc. 10,000x = 4,500 x= 4,500 /10,000 x= 0.45 cc. This...

  21. People don't take Home Health serious enough..

    CseMgr1 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Desperate or not, this RN is going to have a lot of explaining to do to your State's ORS, if this Aide's behavior ever generates an unwanted phone call to their 24-hour "hotline". It was for this...

  22. Do you find it hard to leave work at work?

    CseMgr1 replied to slsmithe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't talk about this board either....to

  23. Do you find it hard to leave work at work?

    CseMgr1 replied to slsmithe's topic in General Nursing

    Me, neither, Leslie. My son is too busy with his own job, three kids, bratty wife and dysfunctional in-laws to care (I haven't heard from him, in three weeks). My sister and BIL have too many problems...

  24. At dinner out, I am chastised for drinking before work by manager -- help?

    CseMgr1 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Guess the moral of this story is: never give your Manager or anyone else you work with any reason to believe that your judgment could be compromised. I have seen more than one doctor come to work...
