  1. Core measures to my core.

    Marisette replied to CrystalCMSRN's topic in General Nursing

    "It is hard to want to "OWN IT" because it is really the MD's job to do all of those things. I have my own kids at home to keep up with! Plus I don't understand why some of the people currently on...

  2. Nurses Changing Careers

    Marisette posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Are there any nurses out there who succesfully made a career change to something other than the nursing field. I would like to leave nursing, don't mind making a little less $$ for less stress. I'm...

    Yeah! This is great

  4. Devastated and don't know what to do...

    Marisette replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sadly, many employers are there for the bottom line, that is, making profit. They don't care about the employees. After being fired or "let go", it's really hard to forgive ourselves. We think, if...

  5. Devastated and don't know what to do...

    Marisette replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you have a good attitude. I would rather work with a CNA with good attitude than one with a ton of experience because skills can be learned with time,and practice. I'm sorry you lost your...

  6. Transfer Request Denied

    Marisette posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I requested transfer to a different facility. I interviewed at the other clinic and was informed there was a full time position. It was advertised as full time in the ads and I formally put in a...

  7. Transfer Request Denied

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks Joni's Mom for your response. It appears that non union nurses don't have rights. We can be denied transfers, be targets of Bully managers, be subjected to unfair practices and not have...

  8. Home Dialysis and Compliance

    Marisette posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Just started working with home dialysis patients. Just wondering how other nurses handle problems with compliance, such as patients not bringing in treatment documentation, problems with achieving...

  9. Advice needed desperately from my fellow nurses...plz read

    Marisette replied to FranD, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Ditto for everything others have said about home health. In addition, home health nurses, are often required to take "on call". The on call requirement may involve emergency admissions during weekend...

  10. Nurses Talk To Nurses. Doctors Talk To Doctors

    Marisette replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this type of bullying behavior goes on often and is seldom reported. I work for a for profit organization and physicians bring in the patients. I have attended meetings where physicians...

  11. Clinical Coordinator

    Marisette replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Why are some facilities willing to hire more employees or clinical coordinators and pay them well, and other facilities choose not to hire and compensate appropriately. I suspect some of the...

  12. Clinical Coordinator

    Marisette replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I just can't imagine working for an FA, having a large load of clinical responsibilities, and not getting compensated for it. I don't know what the FA responsibilities are, never having worked with...

  13. Clinical Coordinator

    Marisette replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Have you watched the Suze Orman show on television, the guru financial counselor? I don't recall everything she said about women and asking for a salary increase ... But the gist of it was that women...

  14. I feel like a FAILURE, what do I do now?

    Marisette replied to petluvr's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sorry you lost your job. You are not a failure. I have not worked for a long term care provider, but have trained some nurses in long term care to perform medical procedures. I don't understand...

  15. Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    Marisette replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Who should determine what quality care is? I work in an area of nursing regulated by medicare goals and payment based on patient quality outcomes. Obtaining quality care or outcomes is related to...

  16. Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    Marisette replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This sounds worse than the hotel and hospitality

  17. I am about to quit with no notice and no warning

    Marisette replied to okkennk28's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's never a good idea to quit without notice. It's better to put up with the pain for two more weeks, or better until you get another job. I think employed people have a better chance of getting...

  18. Dialysis or case management?

    Marisette replied to pma5's topic in Nursing Career

    I have worked dialysis for many years. I say it depends on your personality and what you enjoy doing in nursing. In my point of view dialysis is very fast paced,and stressful. In chronic dialysis,...

  19. Do employers verify previous salaries?

    Marisette posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like to know if anyone had a potential employer verify their previous salaries? I've read several articles stating it's not a good idea to accept employment with a lower salary because it does...

  20. Does your employer make accommodations for your disability?

    Marisette replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My employer does not know I have a herniated disc. They do not accomodate employees who bring any type of medical note requesting a modification to their job description. One of my coworkers lost her...

  21. Can employer change job description and demands?

    Marisette posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been working with my present employer for numerous years. In the early days 80's, I recall a very concise job description. Through the years, the description has changed and recently the job...

  22. Dear Boss

    Marisette replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just wondered how the organization of hospitals or healthcare facilities became routine or normal. I feel it limits patient choice, in addition to making employment difficult for nurses. This is...

  23. Can employer change job description and demands?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps, getting paid to sit in the car does not sound bad. But actually, they expect you to "prioritize" and get to your destination in time to handle appoinments scheduled at the next facility....

  24. Dear Boss

    Marisette replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Options, the organization of health care providers into one has certainly limited the nurses options. Imagine,IF you get fired in one hospital, you have to move out of state to find another job!...

  25. Can employer change job description and demands?

    Marisette replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    From looking at the above post, it appears that my employer can do pretty much what they please without consequence. There are almost no unions in my state, or with my present employer. Long time...
