  1. The most expensive, silly or cheap gifts you received from your hospital

    CseMgr1 replied to Shantas's topic in General Nursing

    A set of supposedly "dishwasher-safe" glass mugs with the hospital's logo on it. Unfortunately, I found out just how "dishwasher-safe" they were, as I had to spend an hour cleaning out broken glass...

  2. OMG I just got fired...what now?

    CseMgr1 replied to NurseSarah86's topic in General Nursing

    Been there, done that too. Last year I was let go from a Case Management position with a Workman's Compensation company three weeks into my orientation because "I wasn't meeting productivity". The...

  3. Does anyone else feel guilty when your sick?

    CseMgr1 replied to blondeern's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. My days of Martyrdom ended YEARS

  4. A majority of Americans would tolerate higher taxes to help pay for universal health

    CseMgr1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I witnessed this firsthand, while I was working as a Case Manager for a major HMO several years ago. Our CEO netted a cool $32 million in bonuses from a merger with another insurance company...just as...

  5. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    CseMgr1 replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    It happened to me years ago, when I was working as an LPN at a small community hospital. I would come into work to find that my time card had been vandalized with profanity written on it, my nursing...

  6. Burnout?

    CseMgr1 replied to registerednut1221's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, and they don't

  7. So I'm fired. Again.

    CseMgr1 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. I have worked under similar conditions in which managers equally seemed to take delight in regulary watching others squirm.

  8. working for insurance company?

    CseMgr1 replied to Almabella's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 4-1/2 years in Case Management and Utilization Management for an HMO. It was okay to begin with, but after they added 600,000 additional "lives" to the workload we already had, the job became...

  9. Baltimore Sun Examines U.S. Health Care System, Efforts for Reform

    CseMgr1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah, and I am one of them. I am facing having to pay $265.00 out of pocket, in order to get the prescription renewed on a $25.00 med I have been taking for the past four years. :angryfire This...

  10. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    CseMgr1 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the doctors came on our floor one evening and asked me to do rounds with him. A patient of his had a fresh surgical wound and needed a dressing change. He requested a dressing tray, and I...

  11. touched inappropriately by patient

    CseMgr1 replied to newohiorn's topic in General Nursing

    The same thing happened to me many years ago, when I was an LPN working on a very busy Surgical floor of an area hospital. I was on my med cart during one 3-11 shift and entered the room of a patient...

  12. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    CseMgr1 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    No good deed EVER goes

  13. You Just Don't Care!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. What a read. If only the Networks would can their tabloid trash and read this out loud on the air....then maybe the plight of nursing would get the attention that it

  14. So I'm fired. Again.

    CseMgr1 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sue, I am beginning to wonder if there is NO end to the amusement these so-called "mentors" find in setting up gifted nurses such as you for failure? Excuse my language, but I have seen nurses who...

  15. The exhausting side of home care

    CseMgr1 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't apologize. I've been there, done that too....which is why I made the decision earlier this year to no longer be ANYONE'S target, doormat, scapegoat, whipping girl...etc. I have basically been...

  16. "Maybe you shouldn't be a nurse"

    CseMgr1 replied to krazy_coconuts's topic in General Nursing

    I think her comment is tacky and inappropriate. Similarily, my son and DIL pulled my seven-year-old granddaughter out of the Charter School she was attending after only three weeks, for labeling her...

  17. My Poor Hands have been Washed Raw

    CseMgr1 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your post made me smile, for my late father used Udderly Smooth for years on his own hands. It was a mainstay in the center of the kitchen table where our family gathered for meals and coffee. He...

  18. The exhausting side of home care

    CseMgr1 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I knew it was just a matter of time before that agency self-imploded. All those similar agencies I worked for (with the exception of one) during the 20-plus years I worked in HH have either been...

  19. Being "written up"

    CseMgr1 replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!

  20. Harassment?

    CseMgr1 replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless the wearing of white uniforms is written policy, this caller needs to mind his/her own business. Tacky, to say the least!

  21. Critical care nurses being pulled

    CseMgr1 replied to organichombre's topic in General Nursing

    I had been out of school and had my license for several months, when I was asked by my DON if I wanted to train to be an ICU nurse. I jumped at the opportunity, for I had done med-surg for years and...

  22. Doing the Happy Dance!!!

    CseMgr1 replied to Tweety's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations!! :balloons:

  23. What do you do to take care of yourself???

    CseMgr1 replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am no longer allowing Management's mismanagement to become my emergency. Period. Because my Manager failed to fax me the information yesterday I needed in order to complete an admission,...

  24. The hospital from very close to hell...Long vent.

    CseMgr1 replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    And WHO died and appointed her........?? :angryfire I would last at that place about as long as a snowball in hell. She clearly took advantage of you, in order to sit on her butt all night, and I...

  25. If I didn't have to work...what would I do!?!?

    CseMgr1 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    i'd hire donald trump to meet with every recuriter and hr person who has given me the runaround and have him tell all of them: you're fired!
