    California Home Prices Drop ...

    LydiaNN replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    Market corrections are good and bad... They make it possible for people who couldn't afford to buy a house otherwise to become homeowners. That's how we were able to buy our first house in the early...

    Getting Paid $$ for End-of-Shift Overtime?

    LydiaNN replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that it is anything past 8 hours on the same shift, which has nothing to do with it being a new day. If what payroll told you is true, you just really got

    What's your Christmas party?

    LydiaNN replied to vrhodes's topic in General Nursing

    We have either breakfast or lunch at some restaurant that someone chooses. It is self pay. Whoopie. Some years, I haven't even been invited because it was just the line staff and their supervisors,...

    Voting for Arnold?

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in California Nursing

    She has a really good chance of winning this time. It used to be that Democrat challengers were primarily for show; no one expected them to do well, and they

    Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    LydiaNN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would say that venting posts are those that address the behavior of the patient, while those that cross the line address patient characteristics like socioeconomic status, race or ethnicity, gender,...

    Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    LydiaNN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    it isn't for you to expect anything from the patients for whom you care. what you expect off duty is up to you, but at work, the bottom line is that you're being paid to provide care, and you're...

    pacific care is a ppo. i didn't miss your point, i disagreed with it. it isn't other medicaid patients that are being done a disservice when an individual with medicaid behaves badly any more than i...

    New fetal death certificates?

    LydiaNN posted a topic in California Nursing

    Have any of you NICU or L&D nurses heard about this? A NICU social worker told me that the death certificate clerk with whom she works told her that effective in 2007, these new questions will be...

    Do I Have the Right NOT to Be Weighed?

    LydiaNN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I have declined being weighed before, simply because I didn't want to know. Some MAs will just write decline, others will say I ''have to''. Because for me it was just a matter of not wanting to...

    Anybody else hate the time change?

    LydiaNN replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I always was. I can't imagine that any facility could get away with not paying an hourly employee for that extra hour, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some have tried. You KNOW they're...

    Anybody else hate the time change?

    LydiaNN replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Does this ever happen to you?

    LydiaNN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just checked my e-mail, and there is a message asking me if I know about any new treatments for an extremely rare chromose deletion condition. Uh, I had never even heard of it until I looked it up...

    Voting for Arnold?

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in California Nursing

    If you're talking about Francine Busby, I'm sorry, but the reason she was defeated had nothing to do with her comment about illegals. In fact, she came closer to winning that election than any...

    Voting for Arnold?

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in California Nursing

    A driver's license isn't the only document used to prove eligibility for public assistance, though, is it? When I said Angelides wants to draw immigrants to the poll, I actually meant naturalized...

    Voting for Arnold?

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in California Nursing

    I honestly don't know what harm comes of licensing people. It isn't like not having a license keeps anyone from driving. At least with a license, they can get insurance, plus it makes people easier...
