  1. Do you think there will be a nursing "draft" someday?

    CseMgr1 replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. It was about the same time you mention that I was making big bucks...but at a big price. Our working conditions had gone from bad to worse, taking on a sweatshop mentality. The more work we...

  3. Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    CseMgr1 replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    I can top this: I have to pay $90 EVERY month to see my specialist's PA, who spends a grand total of THREE minutes at her laptop (and NO time with me), in order to get ONE prescription refilled. My...

  6. When do you know it's time to move on?

    CseMgr1 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    That's what happened with my last job. I began feeling literally sick to my stomach at the thought of having to go back to that place. One day I got up and said aloud: "I can't do this anymore. I...

  7. I'm so sick of MRSA!!!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Has anyone else had this discussion with their kids?

    CseMgr1 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My son was hospitalized with pneumonia when he was 12. Though he did not give the nurses a hard time, he would not let me out of his sight. He told me after he had recovered how frightened he had...

    CseMgr1 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I've also had my share and have had ENOUGH of this so-called "Entitled Society", who are too blessed lazy to wipe their own noses (or their rear ends, for that matter) and all their UNGRATEFUL...

  12. Denied employment without checking excellent references!!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    You are spot ON, with your observations (as usual), Leslie. And, the sad part is, whether or not one possesses the necessary qualifications for a position and has the references to support them...

  13. Songs for Commencement??

    CseMgr1 replied to Nurse McDreamy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "Do You Know (Where You're Going To?)", The Theme From "Mahogany", was played and sung during our graduation by members of the Junior Class. A really beautiful and poignant song. I still get chills,...

    CseMgr1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  18. Families from Hell

    CseMgr1 replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

  19. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    CseMgr1 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Whether your employer's health insurance plan is self-funded or their insurer assumes the risk, something is definitely "rotten in Denmark" here...and I would enlist the services of a...

    CseMgr1 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean. Case Management is supposed to be about enhancing our patients' health outcomes. But with all the Case Management positions I've held, it has been more about enhancing my...
