I once worked at a facility with this one MD that frequently ordered PSAs for female patients. One time he submitted a podiatry consult to have toenails trimmed. The only problem was the patient was a double amputee. All this entertainment and we got paid for it

i was working on my master's degree, utilizing the nnei and completing the first year, when i had to take a leave of absence due to serious problems with two teenagers. i did so with the full understanding of our nursing education office (visn 17) and ms. raymer in new orleans. very long and painful story to be kept short, i have just received a letter telling me that i must pay back over $6000.00 and ms. raymer will not respond to my e-mails. i am now working in visn 19 and plan to resume my msn degree. from what i am being told, i am "s.o.l." even if i complete the degree. this is not what i call fair and i am dealing with a system that is not family oriented. the veterans administration will have the benefit of my advanced degree, i will not be given reimbursement and i still have to pay the nnei fund back. i honestly feel as though i am dealing with a bunch of heartless bureaucrats that don't give a flip about me, my family and from what i am reading, many other hard working career va nurses. i would be very interested in speaking with others considering a class action law suit. this is the last thing i want but feel i am being given no other alternative. as an interesting side note, for the last several months i have been working so much overtime that i don't have the time or energy to put up much of a fight. i would so appreciate any help/suggestions.
