  1. Crying about my job...

    barefootlady replied to LearningRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Your post took me back years. Please understand, some doctors always blame the nurse, any nurse handy for miscommunications on consults. Was there a consult sheet on the chart? Was it dated,timed,...

  2. medical insurance

    barefootlady replied to button2cute's topic in General Nursing

    Medical insurance here is outrageous for employees, coverage is very restricted, and co-pays are terrible. The big dogs in the area only cover services at the regular rate at another facility they do...

  5. Outrageous !!!!!!!

    barefootlady posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was just fooling around earlier and got onto the nvnurse site. Looked at several things on the site just for fun. Can anyone tell me how a nurse, even a highly paid nurse, can afford a home in...

  6. Group One

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Texas Nursing

    What a horrible way to be treated. Is this group only in DFW area or does it have power all over Texas. I have known 3 nurses who went to Texas to work and came home after less than 5 years. Two...

  7. Is this gross negligence?

    barefootlady replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

  8. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    barefootlady replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

  9. Group One

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in Texas Nursing

    Who are they? I know institutions have the power and connections to blackball former employees. Just don't understand how these people

  10. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    barefootlady replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

  11. Major shakeups at my ltc

    barefootlady replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  13. Doctors "firing" patients

    barefootlady replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Neither my hubby nor myself were abusive to this cardiologist, he is not very well liked in the nursing community, he is a decent cardiologist but he is very curt when speaking to patients and staff,...

  14. Making up a sick day?

    barefootlady replied to evecel's topic in General Nursing

    Once you have resigned a position, many facilities do not want to pay for a sick day, sometimes, fair or not they withhold sick pay. Sometimes they even dock a day from your last pay, even if you...

  15. Doctors "firing" patients

    barefootlady replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I read your post with interest and understanding, I feel that my hubby was fired by a cardiologist. We have since found a better one, a better family physician, and changed our outlook on ER care....

    barefootlady replied to Hannah001's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know where you live, but if there is a facility close to you, then look in the phone book, get the number, and call them. Someone will direct your call to the proper person for more detailed...

  20. What's your nursing philosophy?

    barefootlady replied to Annie111's topic in General Nursing

    I know you care about the job and the patients. You know what I was referring to, those too pretty to move nurses, or the ones who have so much personal business to take care of the patients are the...

  21. What's your nursing philosophy?

    barefootlady replied to Annie111's topic in General Nursing

  22. Pay rates...RN to BSN
