Does anyone work for Humana as a "personal nurse"? What has been your experience? Is this a good company to work for? I just applied for this position. It's triage from home.

Did did try to keep my regular password, Commuter. Didn't work. UGH! Kept redirecting me even when I read to the bottom of the page in it's entirety several times. Maybe I'm just a doofus!

I have been trying to get logged into "breakroom" for hours now and changing password (as required) etc. I can read all of your kind words but have been unable to reply. Maybe my registration will go through eventually. I would just like to thank all...

I had the same experience, Canes! It was a beeotch!

Viva, you are indeed awesome! What a great post! Just look at you making a mental illness humorous on a "bad" day. You're still you, only better. :hug:

Why is a patient ordered oxycodone and hydrocodone at the same time? Ask doc to review.

Try both Carolinas. MANY teaching hospitals, as well as rural areas, are hiring new grads. It's the ones with >20yrs experience who are having the most problems finding employment.

I'm with Viva. TOTALLY.

Smiggers, Don't sweat it. At 2 months, you are just now getting your feet wet. Keep a little notebook in your pocket and jot down things to remember. DO NOT let them put you in a room alone until you have more experience under your belt. It matters n...

I haven't noticed a smell but I CAN see impending death in the eyes. It's sort of a "far away", blank, "other worldly" look. :uhoh21:

I also agree with full introduction.

Ruby, I had a colon resection (ca ) a few yrs back and was nekkid at my hospital, too. It will be OK, I promise! My 1st post op day, a fellow nurse brought a HUGE fruit arrangement to me in all it's glory. Me thinking to myself: "hmmmm.....wonder if ...

Once again, Siri cuts the bull. :)

There are certified medical assistants, but they are by no means "registered". Time to bring this to the atention of state boards of nursing nationwide.

Didn't you know that nurses are superhuman and are never to be on controlled meds for any reason?

kcmylorn, Just call it like you see it, why don't cha?? :rotfl: I LOVE it!!!!

So, the interviewer didn't even know what the NCLEX was. Does this give us a clue wherein the problems lie??

Hygiene Queen, O.M.G.!!! Those "interviews" are just TOO FREAKY!!!

been there done that,just be aware that many of us are wading through the same waters out here as you. Also, an arrogant "boss" is one thing.... a condescending "boss" won't be tolerated. I also have over 30 yrs experience and know BS when I see it. ...

This is happening to experienced nurses at an alarming rate nationwide, union or not. I was laid off over a year ago with over 30 years experience, MANY certifications, blah blah blah (position eliminated). I've recently had some "amazing" interviews...

The last doc's office where I worked (cardiology) I made $26/hr. It depends on location.

Grn Tea, I'm thinking SV = supervisor

When you have to call him, put him on speaker phone for the other staff to hear. Then document and get witness's signatures. This is called "lateral violence" and your risk management department will be very interested in this matter, as well as Join...

I don't even know where to START replying to the OP. This is all I can think of...
