  2. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    HIPPIECHIKRN posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, after 30 plus years as a Registered Nurse I am unemployed. I graduated from a diploma program in 1983 and never had difficulty finding a job. I chose where and when I wanted to work. I worked...

  8. Starting all over again?

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I worked at my last job for 8 years and felt pretty secure (not a good idea now in hind sight). I worked in a unique setting of corrections. I worked Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 430. No weekends....

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Way back in the day I remember some women in the GYN clinic complaining about passing "clogs" during their periods. I like new shoes too but that was

  10. No worries USA. Only healthcare workers will be exposed to ebola.

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to Raviepoo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even with the strictest isolation protocols in place, all it takes is one careless staff member to "forget". At my old job the LPN would wear her gloves up and down the hall and ALWAYS claim she just...

  11. Other Jobs That a Nurse Can Do?

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to westieluv's topic in Nursing Career

    I stumbled on this thread and it's funny, I could have written the same thing. I have been an RN for 31 years now. I graduated from a diploma program way back when. At this stage of the game if i go...

  12. Oh, honey.

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to IrishErin's topic in Emergency

    I work in a prison now and it's funny how many guys "slip and fall in the shower" and get fractured jaws that need to be wired and orbital fractures. Must be some super slick soap they are

  13. Oh, honey.

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to IrishErin's topic in Emergency

    I used to work in an endoscopy center. During the pre-procedure assessment I had to determine the patient's NPO status (NPO after midnight, right?) I always had to specify, no water or anything. One...

  15. Diversity.. at what price?

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    HIPPIECHIKRN posted a topic in Correctional

    Hi, does anyone have experience with Wexford as far as their management of a correctional site? My current company lost their contract and the winner was Wexford. Any info is

  17. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    Well, Wexford lost the bid and we still have CMS. I think the thing with using PTO to make up time if you are late is universal in corrections. It's the same here with CMS. It has something to do...

  18. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    Allegedly the "offer letters" are coming to the sites and not to your home. Those letters also have the info to enroll in their health insurance (which they have yet to let you know how much it is...

  19. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    I know right? Plus the lady that spoke to our group really turned me off. She was kinda condescending and loud. She didn't really give us any promising info about the company. "Just be on time!......

  20. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    Well....technically they are out but, they are protesting the award of the contract. Wexford did an "orientation" at our site this week. We have to wait for "offer letters" in a couple of weeks to see...

  21. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    No, we are just as short staffed as ever. At least at my site I haven't noticed any new nurses. Especially new grads which besides orientation have to be

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    We got a "transition" packet today. It outlines the benefits of Wexford and basically introduces the company to us. There are good and bad points to this transition. I may start looking for a new job...

  23. Wexford health care in corrections

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    It seems like everything is up in the air. I will be updating my resume just in case. My co-worker says that you have to "apply" to the new company for your job. I guess since they underbid CMS by 9...

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in Correctional

    I hadn't heard that, but funny thing is I got a notice from CMS in the mail today to "remember the dates" to sign up for benefits in October for 2011. Are you in

  25. Anyone working for CMS?

    HIPPIECHIKRN replied to 2003rn's topic in Correctional

    I currently work for CMS and they just lost the contract. I don't think the company itself is that bad. It's the management locally ie:ADON, DON and HSA. Our infirmary lost the ability to have T3 in...
