  1. For all of those on Medicaid

    TDCHIM replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I asked a legitimate, non-snarky question because I was honestly curious about data that would back that sort of position. I didn't deserve the rude response. Certainly it is acceptable to speak from...

  2. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    TDCHIM replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I used to suffer incapacitating migraines that would last for well over 24 hours. They didn't respond to any of the triptans - in fact, Imitrex made my throat close up, which was terrifying - and they...

  3. For all of those on Medicaid

    TDCHIM replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    On what non-anecdotal source or sources are you basing that assertion? That's a genuine question, not a snide rhetorical remark, by the way. Concerns those who are on Medicaid or are uninsured have...

  4. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    TDCHIM replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    This is a little outside the mainstream, but funny.... When my husband was in college, he had a prof who would accept, without penalty, any excuse for an individual to miss class (other than test...

  5. What is your splurge?

    TDCHIM replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    When possible, I splurge on books (either from Amazon or my hometown independent bookstore - the nearest HPB is over an hour away) and more costly ingredients for recipes I like. Now, when I say...

  6. Patient assignments during pregnancy

    TDCHIM replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm a big fan of playing through pain, but that story just gave me chills! I can't believe your manager let you keep working in that condition, just from a liability

  7. Lacking info

    TDCHIM replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the boonies of the midwest and our little community hospital and several of the local practices (especially specialist groups) have the types of websites, search mechanisms, information, and...

  8. Transition to electronic medical records

    TDCHIM replied to hollierncrrn's topic in General Nursing

    As to your first point...agreed. It seems like a very goofy way to train people. The hours allotted don't sound bad, but good lord, training people when they can't actively use the system sounds...

  9. Healthcare Admins and Experience??

    TDCHIM replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    i certainly won't take issue with most of what you posted. a lot of what you said is why i hang around here night and day, trying to soak up information on the problems primary caregivers deal with...

  10. Quirky Habits?

    TDCHIM replied to dorisc1981's topic in General Nursing

    Were you a bank teller in another

  11. My experience as a patient in ER

    TDCHIM replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    @ singingtothewheat: Go to it! I hope you all can pull it off. But be very careful. Several years ago, a year before he arrived there, there was a major push to unionize my husband's last workplace....

  12. ER triage/billing

    TDCHIM replied to frappuccino1's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you could try to get your insurance company lined up behind you? After all, it stands to lose money on this inconsistent

  13. please help with my situation

    TDCHIM replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    A job is a job, especially for people just out of school right now. I suggest you take it, work there for six months to a year, then jump back into the job search with both feet. Call a few of the...

  14. Heartbroken

    TDCHIM replied to twinkletoes53's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I wish this weren't happening to you. I also wish I had something more to offer in the way of helpful advice. The is an ugly and bitterly unfair situation. I'm so terribly, helplessly sorry. I will...

  15. Heartbroken

    TDCHIM replied to twinkletoes53's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I apologize for the length of this response. These are my suggestions: 1. See an attorney who specializes in disability/employment issues right away. There are so many variables in the laws governing...

  16. How can I make the paperwork and everything more organized?

    TDCHIM replied to Mom02895's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous posters. The place may be a disaster area, but you still have to establish yourself there before you can have a chance of effecting real change (as opposed to being rejected,...

  17. I hate my phone

    TDCHIM replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to hear it! But for the sake of your former co-workers, please drop a dime on your former employer. Call the Department of Labor and notify the folks there of the massive labor violations still...

  18. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    TDCHIM replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    Did I call it on the fireworks or what? I can't tell what's more explosive, the thunderstorms in my neck of the woods or the arguments in this thread! Folks, it's grammar. It's vital knowledge, and...

  19. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    TDCHIM replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    Come on down - I'll have the popcorn popped and the soda & beer cold!

  20. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    TDCHIM replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    I've commented before on this issue, but I'm sitting out this thread. The fireworks ought to start any time now - and no, I'm not talking about the ones to celebrate the Fourth of July!

  21. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

    TDCHIM replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I was simply trying to discuss the issue with you and the other posters. How that gave you the impression you're somehow alone in the world, virtual or otherwise, is a bit beyond

  22. Can't get it out of my head

    TDCHIM replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have problems with terrible images cropping up and grabbing me at times (some of them are a couple of years old, some of them come from a decade or more ago). They come back so strongly I feel...

  23. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

    TDCHIM replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree. As I see it, the speaker didn't simply order or choose her words poorly; she betrayed an attitude of condescension and ignorance regarding the work and educational challenges...

  24. Patient made me feel like low life

    TDCHIM replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    @nursel56: Yes, it's actually pretty fun to visualize a snotty comment bouncing off the comment membrane while responding to the person who said it. Not only has it helped me stop taking everybody's...

  25. Quit My Job Today

    TDCHIM replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. My mother went through something similar a few years back. Her boss was a more extreme (and less stable) version of what yours sounds like - the...
