  1. I was fired by an MA at orthopedic clinic

    eeffoc_emmig replied to srmann's topic in General Nursing

    My first nursing job last less than a month because I refused to be treated like anything less than my real title. I was the only actual nurse in an office. I wasn't given a key so I had to knock to...

  2. The OTHER nurse cleans... hint, hint

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    The case is good overall. I just clean up after myself. I have never scrubbed their toilet or done any sort of cleaning. I initial the paper. I tell myself that it's not a lie since I clean up after...

  3. Bad CNA staff, any advice?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to chavezm1109's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It depends. If administration doesn't back their nurses, it will be an uphill battle. I used to check every resident at various times during the shift to keep my CNAs on their toes. I would write them...

  8. Is Netflix your BFF? What do you watch?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Netflix and Candy Crush is what keeps me awake in a dark, cold room with the white noise of a vent tempting me to close my eyes. I finally watched ALL episodes of Lost, Breaking Bad, The...

  9. TCN scam

    eeffoc_emmig replied to jane1959's topic in LPN to RN

  10. TCN scam

    eeffoc_emmig replied to jane1959's topic in LPN to RN

    I wonder why the attorney told me otherwise. I'm going to have to further research this. I don't think it's right to pay for services not received. Have you had issues with them

  11. Abandonment?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to RNurse1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Is it really abandonment if you were told to leave? Wouldn't that automatically put the nurse manager in charge of the

  12. TCN scam

    eeffoc_emmig replied to jane1959's topic in LPN to RN

  14. Car or Public Transport

    eeffoc_emmig replied to souleater11's topic in Private Duty

    I don't discuss my cases with my husband. We live in a small town and I don't want to take any chances that he might slip up and share details with his co-workers. I do, however, give him the...

  17. Inconsiderate Co-workers/Shift Change

    eeffoc_emmig replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That was a pet peeve of mine when I worked LTC. I always got there 15 minutes early to get report. I would have to wait sometimes 30 minutes to get a half -a**ed report then another 15 minutes or so...

    eeffoc_emmig replied to newrnltc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've dealt with plenty of those while working in LTC. You just have to remember that the elderly can be asses too...they're no different than the younger

  23. Environmental Insanity!!

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    It's unseasonably warm here, too. I have an electric blanket at my case...they keep the kid's room at 62 degrees at night year round. I freeze to death every
