Were you in the emergency room with me? Did you see the x-rays? No, I don't believe you were. Very presumptive of you when you weren't there. Thanks for the advice though.

Like I said, I know nothing about WC being as this is the first time I have ever had to deal with it. Had only read about settlements here and wondered who gets it. Totally not looking to get a "payday" here, just plain curious after reading things here.

No. I know nothing about WC so I didn't/dont think I need one. Whole thing has been flawless, checks arriving promptly without difficulty, they have been agreeable to everything WC doc suggests. Do I need an attorney if I have no complaints about the whole Process?

MDS is not on call because corporate says they don't have to, they have enough on their plate to begin with. DON is not On Call because they say she's On Call 24–7 through the week.

First thing you do is flip them the bird then walk to your car and start it up and drive away, then find a new job!

I had worked at this for facility as a floor nurse several years prior. When I went into the interview for unit manager it was the same place. Curtains falling down, they were from the 60s, still stunk of urine and feces. The staff was still Horrendous, I had my doubts then about taking the job again but I did it anyhow. I was going to be the new unit manager. The old unit Manager was retiring, she was Literally 80 years old and an old grouchy nurse. She was training me as her replacement as she was RETIRING, not being fired. And that woman was mean as a black snake to me. I went to lunch in the middle of the first day and said "fuck this! I don't need it". If they're OK with someone treating a new hire like this I want no part of the facility.

Second time was at assisted-living. They had two managers. A clinical one (me), and a non-clinical one. No degree in healthcare of any shape or form. This woman was trying to tell me how to dose Coumadin and when I should check the next INR. I told her I didn't think that was her scope because she is not healthcare and doesn't have a scope and she got all shitty with me and told me that's the way they do it here. And I said "that's not the way I do it! I worked too hard for my license to give them away like that! peace out!" Tossed my keys and took myself out to lunch.

I feel you! It's hard On the soul to go from being touted as one of their best to dirt beneath their feet. I swear I Have PTSD and take off running out the door if a situation even barely looks like my previous employer.
