In Reply to: The "unemployment" figures are down bec our country does not count - people who just QUIT looking bec they

new jobs created are probably those that are offshored. More misleading spin to lull us into thinking our economy is doing great.

A big fat baloney!
I have heard confidentiality even before the HIPPA and??? We used to have to sign forms saying would not give out information about a patient longgggggggggg before ever heard of a HIPPA and the point being?? Totally ridiculous. There are loads of loud-mouths in the hospital who talk in the halls, on the elevators, on the floors who have 1:1 association with the patients. People now afraid of their own shadows.

I could write pages about them spotting mistakes, yeh, right. Just hearing that reminds me of a probably adoring elderly person putting them on that spot on the right hand side of the almighty. Just ticks me off to hear how they are spotting.

What a stunningly ignorant statement! Since when did the definition of 'abuse' come with a prerequisite of being enjoyed by the abuser?

That's like saying an abused child with a broken arm is not abused unless the person who broke the arm is having fun...

And as to the comment "would you rather see it have it's voice box removed?" More ignorance!

As if there were only two choices! Shock collar or voice box removal.

HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO TRAIN THE DOG not to bark? HOW ABOUT NONPAINFUL COLLARS LIKE CITRONELLA?


Baloney is right, you can work sm
for a large teaching hospital and make good money. You do have to make up your mind to do this and figure out your own way of doing things. I do the same thing and I work for a huge complex in Detroit, mostly ESL, mostly residents, PAs, NPs, etc and no normals. There are folks who can do it.
BALONEY: Not only do I agree with you 100%
You hit it right on the head. I am in this biz for over 27 years and you are so right. I believe that a lot of the problems in our industry are b/c people in early career or midcareer become prima donnas and want to be paid tons of money but not willing to think about patient care. It is when you lose your ego, and know it is about the patient that the money suddenly flows in. I think it is Karma at work. If it is about me, me, me, then me, me, me won't make any money. But when it becomes about serve, serve, serve, the money will be there, more than enough, and so will a long, happy career and MT able to have it all. Baloney, you are no Baloney, you are so correct!!
You do have only one crowd to please. The facility. All this other baloney is

BALONEY! If this person is typing sm
300 lph and 8 cpl, how is that not enough to live on? The only way it is not enough to live on is if you don't get enough work. What I am seeing is "newbies" wanting to make 12-15 cpl starting out and they can't produce much per hour. If you are not able to produce then you cannot make a living in this business unless you get hourly pay. That is the long and short of it. In order to be able to produce consistently you have got to have tons of experience which takes TONS of time and years and sweat to get. I am so tired of hearing about how we don't make enough money (and some don't make enough) but then finding out the person complaining has very little experience, cannot do certain work types, doesn't like ESLs, can't do ESLs, etc. etc but wants top pay. Its not going to happen. Unfortuantely, to make it in this business you start out working, keep working for years, get your experience, learn every type of work type there is, sweat and cry over the really bad dictators and learn to deal with it. If the work is there and you can do EVERYTHING and are WILLING TO LEARN EVERYTHING over a period of YEARS, you can make it in this business. But, its based on the work being here. The cpl is secondary

No, that's baloney. Study-up on meaning of 'cult'.

Not *discussing* your line rate is a bunch of baloney....encouraged by employers....
They don't want us all to know what each other makes so they can keep paying as low and unfairly as possible.

How is the WORLD can letting someone know your line rate hurt you or anyone? It doesn't--only benefits employers.
