  1. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Baloney Amputation replied to Meraki's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My husband doesn't have CFS, but he has fibromyalgia. The fibro pain permeated everything, including his moods, until he found a treatment (Savella) that really helped knock down his pain and...

  2. Are managers allowed to give ultimatums?

    Baloney Amputation replied to ITALY123's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she's looking to clean some house and is going to justify it by the test results. Keep every piece of documentation you possibly can about

  3. Your Marital Status: It's Just Not That Difficult

    Baloney Amputation replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    My state has both common law marriage and same-sex marriage. Go

  4. Are managers allowed to give ultimatums?

    Baloney Amputation replied to ITALY123's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, which is a right-to-work state, you can indeed be fired for your eyebrow being out of place, but if you can demonstrate that is why you were terminated or some other reason that doesn't...

  5. Are managers allowed to give ultimatums?

    Baloney Amputation replied to ITALY123's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you do, keep copies of everything. Your situation sounds screwy, and you never know when you will have to cover your

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't be called a troll if you posted the stuff you've seen, unless you post a nonsense post about a coworker every week or

  7. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Except for the "strange behavior" thread, the OP excels at starting a thread and then rarely, if ever, comes back to post on

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but I like to see what the OP dreams up next for her weekly thread. Hopefully our troll stays

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I've wondered this too a few threads

  10. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    In one of her other threads about this coworker, she said she believed she had histrionic personality disorder because that's what she gossiped about with her other coworkers. I suggested something...

    OP--I find YOU and your posts about this nurse

  13. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    Baloney Amputation replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no no no....the OP just starts bizarre threads every few days about ONE particular coworker. I think the best thread the OP started was when she tried to diagnose the coworker's "mental condition"...

  14. Is it ok for your work to call you after you called in sick?

    Baloney Amputation replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she'd figure you'd be fretting, especially if she callled about something mundane. Please consider that you may be reading too far into this. You don't want to allow the worst case...

  15. Working on a smoke-free campus

    Baloney Amputation replied to ivorybunny's topic in General Nursing

    Why are smokers so compelled to huddle up right in front of doors in which people have to enter and exit? It happens everywhere, I swear. Is is terribly difficult to move a couple of feet over so us...

  16. Advice regarding termination

    Baloney Amputation replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If your state is like mine (and we are an at-will state too), we have facilities around here that routinely fire people and then hire them back. It's like they are playing games. Being fired in...

  17. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    Baloney Amputation replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    I've found that the roads can be horrendous right at the beginning of bad weather. This happens several times a winter around here. When people sometimes drive for a half hour or more to get to work...

  18. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    Baloney Amputation replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    WRONG. Maybe it doesn't happen where you are from, but the weather people do get it wrong frequently enough. Day shift people shouldn't have to get up at 2 a.m. for a 6 a.m. shift to see if the...

    Baloney Amputation replied to shanika1m1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not your dear, and I'm prepared to change around my schedule here again when my husband finds a job. The OP's situation hits so very close to home right now. My husband ALWAYS does certain things...

  21. let go over 1 mistake...(more related to facility budget) VENT

    Baloney Amputation replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    I really, really sympathize. I mean it. My is also an at-will state, and every nursing home I've worked in except one has management that plays games to some degree with employees to prove their...

  22. I did the stupidest thing ever

    Baloney Amputation replied to shanika1m1's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh, I know, I know! It's because jobs are really damned hard to land lately, and we do what we have to do to make it work out, including working around our husband's
