  1. Cui Bono?

    Crumbwannabe posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    New thread, modest proposal. Real activism. Refer to my posts in "Protection against 'Problem Nurses'". The title of this thread translates "Who benefits?", one of the first questions that should be...

  2. Cui Bono?

    Crumbwannabe replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No!!! Independently run by good organizers in 'districts'. Can't give the powers that be anything tangible to shoot at. Remember the label advisory on records Tipper Gore started? It was an...

  3. Atrial fib. with PVC's?

    Crumbwannabe replied to MrsSandman's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Ouch... don't take much to set you off, does it?I won't argue, shucks, I worked with E/P docs and all that for years, too, but they were probably not real good. We're kind of hayseeds sometimes here...

  4. Atrial fib. with PVC's?

    Crumbwannabe replied to MrsSandman's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Is 'fluff' a term for abnormal conduction pathways and alteration of the action potential? Meaning I agree to an extent. There are only 3 basic dysrhythmias; SV, A-fib/flutter, or ventricular. Cardiac...

  5. Atrial fib. with PVC's?

    Crumbwannabe replied to MrsSandman's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Obviously in A-Fib all the stimuli are not getting through the His pathway, (thank goodness), but if you really want to catch hell from a cardiologist, try to define anything without a 12 lead. It's...

  6. suspended license

    Crumbwannabe replied to jmb62's topic in General Nursing

    Hi... Sue their butt for slander & libel. Nothing has been proven. Remember O.J.? Found innocent in criminal court, guilty in civil court. An alleged theft has occured, and by gum the culprit...

  7. On-call

    Crumbwannabe replied to CB's topic in Emergency

    If they tell you what your can't do, they have control. So go ahead, don't drink, no problem. Miss a few beeps, maintain they must have called the wrong number. I'm sure there's some old burnout...

  8. On-call

    Crumbwannabe replied to CB's topic in Emergency

    No, you have to be available in case the doc comes back from lunch and wants you.....Honestly, you are entitled to pay unless you are 100% undisturbed with anything work related during those 30 min....

  9. suspended license

    Crumbwannabe replied to jmb62's topic in General Nursing

    We are not the only ones who handle narcs, anyhow. RPhs, Staff Clinical Coordinators, God knows how many people we don't know about have access to our codes in the dispensing systems. I did see a...

  10. On-call

    Crumbwannabe replied to CB's topic in Emergency

    Hi Maybe your union steward doesn't know or care. It is a federal labor law. If you are not free to use on call time as you please, including staying within a certain perimeter, refraining from having...

  11. Cui Bono?

    Crumbwannabe replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Exactly the type of brainstorming I'm looking for. Great observations. I think building a site is one of the primary goals. Keep the great ideas

  12. On-call

    Crumbwannabe replied to CB's topic in Emergency

    according to federal labor laws (i believe chapter 129), if a person is not on the premises, (such as a fireman) carries a phone, pager, or must call in where they can be reached, must at all times be...

  13. suspended license

    Crumbwannabe replied to jmb62's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I agree with Monica. It's never too late to go back and fight it. Even if you don't want to practice anymore, save your good name. The burden of proof is on the accuser. If you (and all who had...

  14. Well, so what do we do between jobs?-Activism

    Crumbwannabe posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hello, I'd like to start a new thread as a recently registered user. I have been cruising some of the activism boards, and heard a lot of sad stories. If you have read my posts at all, you may know...

  15. Well, so what do we do between jobs?-Activism

    Crumbwannabe replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ...Anyhow, the place I work everyday it's open (except gyn day) has a great philosophy. You have to be working at least 20 hr.s a week, and no insurance. We will either see and intervene or refer. Not...

  16. What happens to your integrity when you go into management?

    Crumbwannabe replied to olympiad27's topic in Nurse Management

    I have noticed how people, with a few exceptions, change when they go into management. Those exceptions usually don't last too long. The price is too high for the raise and false trappings of...

  17. Well, this reporting agency has just about given me my !##&*~ fill.

    Crumbwannabe replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry, folks...I made the mistake of assuming, and only made one of me...There are agencies who give a "credit report" type eval. to employers, except it isn't credit. Do a search on " Group one"...

  18. Well, this reporting agency has just about given me my !##&*~ fill.

    Crumbwannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, hello out there. Are we going to let this "group one" and similar reporting agencies determine our future? Personally I walk on the floor because it LAYS DOWN. Think it's time to start a similar...

  19. Seeking Information

    Crumbwannabe replied to kaelling's topic in General Nursing

    Hi,I am blackballed apparently at this time following comp. secondary to disk injury. I can't buy a job. Interviews go quite well, although out of over 100 applications I have gotten only about 4%...
