The EAP stumbling block. Yeah, thanks. No matter what they do, even if "my concerns are validated and addressed and I am reasonably sure that I will be respectfully treated while working in a safe,...
Yes, TriciaJ. And I want everybody to be aware of the fact that "all characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely
I knew I'd be reminded of someone specific when I said "and others" in voicing my appreciation in an earlier post and, dagnabit, you are most definitely one to who I was referring, RNNPICU! Thank you,...
THIS is great and I'm laughing as I type this! No, SansNom, we don't work together, but we are, if I may be so bold as to say, very good virtual friends. I loved your
Your words warm my heart, TriciaJ. I'm in a rather precarious place and I know it. I now have a confirmed reason for resigning and getting unemployment benefits when Rita wrote "your apprehensions"....
"this is not going to go (my) way"? Daisy? Zen? Rita's email said "we have to meet and discuss". I don't "have to" do anything but die and pay taxes. My response email mentions a time and a...
Ya know, Dawwn, this would be a prudent thing to do. It would wrap the whole scenario up zip zip and make it for what it really was without a doubt: The patient accosted you and out of supreme stress...
I saw the original Star Wars back in 1977 and haven't seen one since, so I had to look up the definition of Jedi: "A member of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films, trained to guard...
It doesn't look like I'm going to continue my employment. It looks like I'm going to be canned. Rita's reply: Dave, Since you were unable to meet today and have requested this matter to be reviewed by...
Davey Do replied to Mya K. Brewster's topic in General Nursing
Hi Mya! Thank you for your well wish and I have to say that the people who freak out scare me more than the virus. Working 12 hour MN shifts, I tend to get 5-7 hours of sleep during the day on the...
Rita sent me an email this afternoon asking me to meet with her at either 4:00, 4:30, or 5:00. This is my reply: Ms. Weasle: I have reasonable grounds to believe that a meeting with HR will resolve...
Last August, HR wrote me up for propping the nurses station door open, saying that it created a safety hazard. They were on me like a pit bull on a poodle. My concerns about a multitude of profanities...
Thank you for your whole post, Daisy, and I don't think I'll disappear, merely cut back quite a bit. My biggest concern is that when this whole thing blows over, I'll have to find some other situation...
I have made the premise that Clark gave erroneous legal advice when he said, "Anybody can start or stop a restraint". I have already proven the premise by citing laws, statutes, codes, policy &...
Point of clarification, since it must be difficult to follow all the characters in this drama: The HR director's name is Ms. Rita Weasle. And I always love it when posters put immediately after: (not...
Thanks for the advice, Daisy. But I'd be lying, according to my feelings at this time, if I said "I would like to continue my employment", because I don't. I do not believe that I can, or will ever,...
I'm working on a response or an assertion, I don't know which yet: Ms. Weasle: Please allow me to clarify the portion of my notice which states "I will be accepting no further work assignments until...
I had the email to Rita and the fax to Mia all prepared Tuesday night. Like a kid wanting to open his present as soon as it's placed underneath the Christmas tree, I wanted to send the email and fax....
Thank you for that perspective, Daisy: Ms. Weasle is trying to weasel out! I need some time to mull this response over. The HR director contacts me for a meeting to hear my concerns. She then cancels...
Rita sent me an email at 4pm: "Good afternoon Dave. Without discussion on your assertions, am I to accept this as your resignation?" And I responded: No. Please read what I wrote: " This notice is to...
I'm glad you mentioned this, Daisy, because it's one of the things I have on my itinerary. One thought is a manifesto on visitors and non scheduled staff reporting to the nurses station and/or to the...
I really like the last scene in the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"! I believe myself to be the voice of those who are unable or not willing to speak. As Ranger Rodd said after one...
It would be truly something if I could redeem the workplace,TriciaJ, but administration's modus operandi is to put out a fire, create a P&P, and walk off like an actor from the old movie "Night of...
Clark ranto Mia's office after I said the words "****ant hotshot" as I walked by him. Clark is one of Mia's cronies. Jason was called downto Mia's office and was questioned on my behavior toward Clark...
