Incompetent Supervisors - page 3

0Aug 31, '12 by GhostWindRiderWould seem like a safe thought, SLC. However, I live in a more insideously fundamental area of the church. From SLC, go north about 200+ plus miles. It's hen central here, with everyone talking about everyone. Got a call from an RN a couple weeks ago, she wanted to know if I knew the "deal" on a nurse that worked with us in this same unit. He was set up by two CNAs and a charge nurse that played along with it. He was fired. These two CNAs were overheard talking about "I don't like this guy, i'm going to get him fired." I was standing there charting. When the situation started to generated, I approached the sup and attempted to debunk their attack on the nurse. He was gone 3 days later. Anyway.... this other RN calls me and asks if I knew anything about why that male nurse was terminated, cause he was going to work where she was at now. I not only refused to answer her questinos, I reamed her out pretty good for perpetuating the back stabbing network so strong in this area.
I despise unions, with a loathing passion. They are one of the root problems we have here, neck and neck with lawyers. SLC is a much friendlier working environment and due to it's size, more diverse in their operations and mentality. -
0Aug 31, '12 by GhostWindRiderI agree with you. The abuse and mismanagement of nurses by supervisors, managers, HR sections only make the situation dangerous for patients. Had someone else here tell me that Patient Advocacy is real, I agree, it is and it's needed for the very reasons discussed here. BUT, unless you want to fall into some incompetent managers sights, you have to temper your advocacy with some self protection. Can't have some manager appear weak or incompetent, or they can't continue to hire weak or incompetent people.
No surprise to see your file manipulated. Where this happened at, the night shift charge nurses were all great, with the exception of the narc thief I worked for a few times. Seemed like she was on and off her psych meds a little to randomly.
I've considered provided a nursing / patient advising service that makes suggestions to future patients on their hospital selection based on nursing staff and supervisors, NOT on the docs. I think it'd be very successful. Of course, you'd have to break the knees of their lawyers because they'll try to threaten you out of existance. Very common thing with lawyers. -
0Aug 31, '12 by GhostWindRiderQuote from kcmylornHi, when all this started, the first thing I did was talk to several lawyers. Three of them in this area said they'd never go against that hospital. Too connected. While I was there, Mitt himself graced them with his presence, nearly 3 years ago. Two lawyers said I should contact the Human Rights Commission, it wasn't an EEOC issue. I did file a complaint with HRC, and after 1 1/2 years, they said my claims were accurate and substantiated, exactly as I said. They then said I wasn't in a protected class (I wrote this before), being a while male, i'm in a very unprotected class. In fact we're targets. I then talked with a well known lawyer in this area working against hospitals. They best he said he could do is approach the hospital and suggest changing my status from terminated to resigned. Yep, the guy goes to the same ward several of the docs there go to.GhostWind- have you tried complaining to the EEOC? if I am not mistaken, they also deal with retaliation complaints. it seems you were retaliated against by questioning patient care safety. Have you tried using your vet benefits for legal representation -- an employment lawyer- wrongful dicharge/termination?
I feel as you do with regard to civilian nursing. I was a civilan nurse working in an MTF and loved it because this crap did not go on with the military nursing personel. Civilian nursing could learn a boatload from the managment and leadership from military nursing!! Civilian Nursing management and leadership just can't seem to get the concept- you lead by example!!
I would love to have had your experience. I attended a Lunch and learn in the MTF I worked at given by our CNO on the USAF Med evac process- It was the most awesome lecture complete with USAF pictures, I have ever had the pleasure of attending
Good luck and Thank you for your service.
Military medicine rocks. Right now i'm going through USAJOBS and several MTFs and medical centers around the country are recruiting nurses with prior military service. Nice to hear from you. We see things the same way. -
1Aug 31, '12 by GhostWindRiderWithout getting into heavy detail. I was given a form that said I had violated Section XXX and paragraph XX.xx of the employee manual, that states no employee may create a working environement that speaks bad of the hospital or other employees. There were no performance issues, because my performance was excellent. I put in so many hours that the compliance officer had to ask me to go home. Did 36 hours one time and was managing 4 patients in the overflow ICU area. I loved it, the harder I go, the better I love it. The month before, I was given an anonymously nominated award for patient services. Had a lady in the unit that had been there for about 2 weeks. She was a horse lover and I brought two of my appaloosas into the parking lot on a saturday so she could see them from her window. Her doc said that her spirit so improved she was able to go home three days later. I'm not bragging, i'm just saying this to reinforce that so many in charge, have no reason for being there except to feed their egos.libbyliberal likes this.

Mayor's youth initiative: Is it a bad time to lift hopes?
Talk about having someone looking over Seattle Public Schools' shoulder: The mayor's office has just launched its movement to examine what youth and families need for kids to succeed in education and life. And the City Council is busy looking over the mayor's shoulder.
This could hardly be a higher profile examination. Mayor Mike McGinn has selected former Mayor Norm Rice as one of the chairs, along with Estela Ortega, executive director and a founder of El Centro de la Raza, and former deputy mayor Bob Watt, widely respected for his work on youth issues. The effort is being rolled out almost exactly 20 years after an education summit that Rice organized to improve schools. The mayor's office has put its considerable skills in building community support to work in a big way, doing everything from posting a video by McGinn himself to encourage engagement to hiring an important education reform group, the statewide League of Education Voters, to organize dozens of small-groups meetings mainly aimed at ensuring minority parents and families are heard.
Well designed though it may be, the McGinn effort has a very democratic, transparent feel. One result: Some 220 people showed up at the initial meeting in the Rainier Community Center on Monday (Feb. 22), spilling out of a meeting room into a gym and even hallways for small-group discussions, according to McGinn spokesman Aaron Pickus.
For young people, their families, the community, and the schools themselves, the rewards of the mayor's Youth and Families Initiative could be rich. The undertaking aims to identify the most pressing needs for kids and families, come up with solutions, and implement them.
The goals are really larger than what the schools can handle themselves. As the city puts it, the initiative "is committed to eliminating racial disparities in key indicators such as education, child care, children's health, and the criminal justice system." Those are issues that, in many ways, aren't addressed well in most communities, to the detriment of schools and students.
But the concerns really all come together in where the young people gather, the schools. During his campaign for office, McGinn made his own desire for improvements in public schools clear, even talking about the idea of the city's taking over the schools if they don't improve quickly. He downplayed that idea considerably last Friday while meeting with reporters, stressing a desire to see improvements in the next two years and pointing out that any change in governance would require legislative action. He added that the city and the community, as well as schools, need to be accountable.
Still, McGinn made it clear that education is at the center of his initiative, saying, "We are not achieving what we need to achieve in school. There are tremendous disparities" around race and family income.
City and school district officials say Seattle Public Schools aren't involved directly in the ongoing planning of the initiative but they are communicating. On both sides, there is talk of especially good communications at the staff level on issues like the Families and Education Levy, which brings city money into programs to support schools and which will come up for renewal next year.
School Board President Michael DeBell voiced a mixture of interest and caution about the city initiative. "I'm certainly open-minded about it," DeBell said this week. "Mayor McGinn seems to have a very keen interest in youth and education."
But, harking back to the McGinn campaign, DeBell said, "Some of his early statements were a little bit disconcerting." DeBell said that at this point, with the initiative just beginning, it's hard to see if ideas that come out of it would be a "good fit" with Seattle Public Schools' own strategic plan. In the past levy, there was tension between the district and the city over how much measurable accountability would be applied, and whether schools that failed to meet the standards would lose city funding.

This past weekend I took a road trip to the state of Hidalgo, about one and half hour north of Mexico City, with Lesley, her husband Crayton and Jon. Lesley had mentioned this trip a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't until Thursday that the organizers of some tamal and atole festival gave her the details. The venue was in the center of Tetepango (from the Nahuatl Tepantli and Co that means close to the stone wall), Hidalgo. We weren't exactly sure where that town was and how to get there, where we were going to stay, or what exactly the festival was all about. We decided to rent a car (none of us owns a car) and head to the unknown. We're adventurous that way.
When we got there we found out that the festival, the 7th Fair of Atole and the Tamal, was being held in the town's deportivo (sports facilities) and that we were expected to be part of the jury that would pick the best tamales and atoles of the night. Lesley and I tried around 50 different tamales and 40 different atoles made by local cooks, mostly women. That was enough atole and tamales to last several weeks for me!. This is the 7th year that this festival is held in Tetepango and I'm very glad I was part of it. The organizers were very kind and got us hotel rooms in a beautiful water park a couple of miles away from the festival venue.
The following morning they took us to Tlaxcoapan, the neighboring town, for breakfast. The state of Hidalgo is famous for its mutton barbacoa (not to be confused with barbeque). Some families have been in the business of making barbacoa for generations. We tried some delicious barbacoa de hoyo (pit or hole) that was cooked the traditional way, wrapped in maguey and banana leaves and cooked underground for several hours. But before trying the barbacoa we stopped at a local bakery to get cocoles (bread made with raw sugar) and conchas:
This was a very fun, informative and delicious short trip. We got invited back to some of the other festivals in the region (barbacoa, pastes, pulque, among others). I'll be there for sure. There's so much to learn about this region's cuisine that I will need to take several trips to just scratch the surface. I want to thank the organizing committee for having us and being such great hosts.
¡Buen provecho!

Wow, how exciting! What a wonderful trip. It must have been a great experience.
That's sounds like a fun activity…touring new places and eating!
It sounds like your trip was stuffed with delicious eats! That barbacoa looks delicious.
What a fun trip! Barbacoa sounds like Greek kleftiko although in Greece they would wrap it in the sheep's skin then they would cook it in a hole in the ground filled with hot stones and embers and then sealed by packing soil over the top so that no smoke or steam would escape.
That sounds like a great trip Ben, but how on earth can you taste so many and then still make a judgement.. I know I would be able to do that!
Nice post, Ben. I admit that although I have been to Hidalgo, I don't know much about its cuisine–something I will have to remedy. I do remember a really tasty salsa amarilla made with artesanal chiles. Yum.
I also love the idea of regional events like this. Where do you find them? Is there some sort of listing? I would make the effort to get there if I could!
I love when you do dishes like these.
Obviously its really hard to find good mexican food here but we do drive about 1 & 1/2 hours away to the 2nd flagship store of whole foods (one of the biggest in the country) and they have a dedicated bar just for authentic mexican street foods. Imagine how much I order? LOL -
WOw! Ben
Que impresionate como has ido desarrollando tu pagina. Se ha convertido en toda una joya de recursos para los amantes de la cocina Mexicana.
Mis felicitaciones y sigue adelante con este bello trabajo. Ten la seguiridad que te sera reconocido.
Puedo poner un enlace en mi blog al tuyo?
My in-laws live in AJACUBA which is I think where you stayed/waterpark reference.
fun times. -
Just spent three weeks here (Ajacuba, Tetepango, Tlaxcoapan) for the December holidays! The best barbarcoa (imho) in the area is in the town that is after Tlaxcoapan, in Tlahuelilpan where they have a huge open air market once or twice a week! The pan de fiesta with big mug of cafe de olla is the perfect breakfast. Thanks for sharing!

Papayas-yes: treat as an annual. Plant as early as your frost-free date allows. Full sun and lots of manure. You should get fruit by Thanksgiving. Mangoes- maybe not. |

So I came home and immediately started throwing recipes together and trying stuff out. I believe that I have found my winner finally. My pastor's wife tried my first attempt at it and she was in love with it. I was happy to have come so close, but I still wanted to play around with the icing some more. So here... read more

Daisy"And who could ever love the fucked up little girl?" Daisy asked as she looked over at Dexter. The girl stood, lightly playing with the ends of her hair. She was half naked with only her lingerie on, her body was covered in scars from her wrists to her knees. She cocked her head to the side and giggled once more before Dexter walked over to her and examined the scars all over her.Daisy by AmyJohnston
Bewildered, he couldn't believe that a girl that was so quiet could simply do this to herself, slash herself over and over. It didn't make sense to him and maybe he didn't want to make sense of it because he didn't want to break down at the thought of her taking anything to her skin. He wanted to be strong, not for himself but for her.
Tracing his fingertips over the scars on her wrists, he realized they were a little older than what he thought as Daisy wasn't reacting to his touch. She was only staring up at him, trying to figure out what he was thinking, they hadn't much ever talked about this kind of thing

Actuant plans to sell marine businesses
Posted onActuant Corp. CEO Bob Arzbaecher said the group expects to sell its electrical segment as a whole and will look at using the proceeds for future acquisitions and stock buybacks, but emphasized that there was "no huge deal around the corner."
"[It] really comes down to portfolio management," Arzbaecher said during a conference call Monday to discuss the company's decision to sell its electrical segment.
Actuant's marine businesses include Marinco, which makes marine shore-power and electrical products; Mastervolt, which makes power products, including batteries, battery chargers, inverters, monitors, and digital switching and integrated systems; and BEP Marine Ltd., which specializes in marine electrical distribution products.
The decision to sell the group's electrical segment was so the company could focus on "macro growth drivers" and came "after a great deal of thought, discussion and analysis."
When asked by a JP Morgan Chase & Co analyst why the sale was announced at such an early stage of the process, Arzbaecher said Actuant is a "pretty transparent organization for employees and other stakeholders. The segments operate pretty autonomously."
Arzbaecher didn't offer a price estimate for what the segment would bring, saying he'd rather let the market decide.
"This is a pretty healthy business from an electrical point of view," he said. "We really do expect this will be an important asset for somebody."

Two snowmobilers have been found safe after spending a night in below freezing weather on Rabbit Ears Pass.
The Steamboat Pilot and Today reports that authorities reached the pair Saturday morning. Routt County Search and Rescue incident commander Kristia Check-Hill say the search began Friday evening after the snowmobilers reported they were stuck in a meadow.
Rescuers from Routt County found the pair about 7:30 a.m. Saturday. Temperatures had dipped to 17 degrees Friday night.
The pair was able to use gasoline from a snowmobile to start a fire, but keep the fire going was difficult because of a lack of wood.
The snowmobilers were not identified.

Hi all,
I'm going to post my experience with self-leveling compound here in case these tips might help others. (I found a dearth of good info on line, myself!) I have just finished pouring self-leveling compound in my second bathroom. In both cases, the main purpose was to cover electric radiant heat wires prior to laying tile. I used loose wire from warmingsystems.com.
First, the old subfloor was replaced. The new plywood was then primed with the LevelQuik primer per the directions (diluted over plywood.) After the primer is dry, you need to dam up any crevice, gap, or hole where the SLC could run away. In the first bathroom, I did not really understand how important this was!!! I'd heard to go around the edges of the room with Sill Seal (that pink foam strip you use under a house sill) which would create a nice expansion gap with some give. So I taped it around the edges, and around plumbing holes. This was NOT adequate! When we poured the SLC, you could see it moving towards the gaps and trickling down. We even had to do a second pour since we lost so much down into the crawl space below: ouch! In the more recent bathroom we didn't lose any. Here's what we did:
Next, lay the heating wire. (Chisel down a bit to create trenches for the factory splice and thermostat probe. WE install two probes, and leave the second's wires free behind the thermostat, in case the first one fails at some point in the future.) Our wire came with aluminum tape to stick it down with. I used only that tape in the first bathroom, but the water in the SLC caused to to let go so a lot of the wires floated to the surface :( In the second bathroom, I first laid out my wire with painters' tape, then secured it with a hot glue gun. Brilliant! It worked really well, no floating wires. (I removed the painters' tape after the glue was set.) Then get ready to pour. Figure out how many bags you're going to need. This took some heavy math for me, since my second bathroom's floor sloped about 5/8" over 5' and I assumed the SLC would level that out, so I had to figure out the cubic feet needed using calculations for figuring swimming pool volume, then covert to the square footage at 1/8" coverage stated by the SLC manufacturer. Have your buckets ready: we assumed we'd need 3 bags and had two buckets already measured with the correct amount of cool water, and then another batch of water pre-measured and ready to pour into the first bucket when it was empty.
Last time I poured, I used a floor squeegee as a spreader. It didn't really work all that well. The instructions call for a gauged trowel (notched) but we didn't want to use a metal implement for fear of hurting the wires. I saw an EXCELLENT how-to on line that recommended cutting a rubber squeegee into notches. I bought an 18" black rubber squeegee head, cut 1" notches out of it with a utility knife, and screwed it onto a broom handle. This allowed me to spread the SLC around in such a way that it was still able to self-level rather than being pulled up into hills like the straight spreader caused. OK- so mix the SLC with a heavy duty mixing paddle (I used the round type for paint mixing, about 4 or 5" around) and a 1/2" electric drill. With the water in the 5 gallon pail, have one person running the drill while the other dumps the powder in fairly quickly. We mixed about 1 minute 45 seconds after the powder was all in, then did the next bag, then gave the first bucket another 5-second mix and brought it inside. You'll see how at about 1.5 minutes, the stuff is smooth and a consistency of cake or pancake batter: that's what you want. My DH person poured, I spread the SLC with the notched rubber spreader. DH went out and gave the second bucket another quick mix, then brought it in and poured. If we'd needed a third bucket, he'd have gone and quickly mixed that one. It turns out we did not. It looked like it was leveling out beautifully. You can tell how the stuff is flowing by white contour lines on the surface, so we knew it wasn't dripping down any unseen holes. (We later checked in the basement and this was correct, yay!) The mix had been perfect consistency, smooth, flowed well. It all looked beautiful- as compared to the first time when the level kept going down, the tape let go and the wires floated to the surface: yuck!) After a few hours I put a long level on it. The surface is beautifully flat, no hills or valleys -so the large-format tile I'm laying should go on well- BUT.... I was surprised to see that the floor still slants in the same direction. it's maybe 1/8" less pronounced, but the slant is still there. It's funny to me that the SLC would level itself out so beautifully in relation to the floor beneath it, but not in relation to gravity as a whole. I'm sure someone can explain why this is... something about surface tension maybe? It's OK- it's not going to be a problem in this bathroom, but it's just curious! I would have expected the floor to be perfectly level now, wouldn't you? Anyway- I hope this helps someone! |

Thanks for the really great, detailed write-up! I'm saving this for future reference as I expect I'll need to level a floor prior to tiling in the near future. |
Excellent narrative too. Gripping reading. This explains how a DIY can save $1000 and get a huge improvement in comfort and quality. It also explains how cold air can slide in (if SLC can seep out.) Millions of people don't know about these invisible leaks. Stoppering them is a huge improvement. |
Ditto! I totally want to thank you for making the time to write such a detailed, informative and *helpful* post. Your thoroughness is outstanding and totally puts me to shame. We just lifted up the old vinyl, cleaned the subfloor, laid out the radiant heat mats and then did the SLC atop it. Here and there a piece of the wire popped out of the SLC and i wondered what I was doing wrong. I was told "not to worry, the mastic / tile will cushion it and it'll end up level." Um, okay. But so far so good (we're doing the marble mini hex tiles). Anyway, so we were nowhere near as thorough as you and I'm kinda scared how we'll ultimately pay for that ... This post is a Must Read for all who plan on tiling. Bravo to you for writing it. And Thank You! |
Canned foam, foam backer rod and caulk...what excellent prep recommendations! lol. I pour the SLC into the low area of the floor first, allowing it to flow "uphill" and out of the deep area instead of trying to get it to flow "into" the deep area. Then feather it to "nothing" as I work out of the deep area for a nice transition. |

Ah, that makes soooo much sense! Next time, I'll have that part figured out and it'll be perfect :) And: sorry I didn't credit you with the prep recommendations, mongo. The actual recommendations, everyone, were: "Caulk, foam, backer rod, tape...your pinky toe...plug anywhere you don't want it to escape."!!! It was such a huge difference from the last time :) Thanks again! |
"Next time, I'll have that part figured out and it'll be perfect :)" Finish this bathroom then it'll be time to put the house on the market, buy a "new" old house, then you get to start over! It's the circle of life, gardenweb-style. |
Thanks for this write up staceyneil. Did the SLC hold up to your expectations and did you Tack down Metal Lathe? My confidence level may just have risen a notch over -5 after hearing pros say they have issues with it on another forum. A few points that stands out is they recommend not feathering it. 3/8" deep minimum. Two coats of primer. second coat of primer let set for 10-15 minutes.It'll still appear wet.Do your Pour.. the latex that's still wet seems to help bond. Which brand of SLC did you use? Iv read Ardex K15,Mapei M20 Thanks |

SLC isn't as easy to use as you'd think, but, yeah, it worked. Everything's still looking and working as it should. I used Levelquick I think.... whatever Home Depot sells. |

Technical Information
License Manager dialog box
You use the License Manager dialog box to examine details about your licenses, enter new licenses, and remove licenses. For a selected license, the dialog box displays the version of the relevant application that the license applies to, the license's serial reference, the license's expiration date, and the number of days remaining on the license before it expires. You can enter license codes manually, drag-and-drop a license file, or add a license file from a disk.
You access the License Manager dialog box from the License Manager object in the details pane. You access the License Manager object by double-clicking the RMS Configuration container in the console tree.
Like other configuration data, the license data is saved on the currently selected Information Server. Licenses that are stored on one Information Server cannot be accessed by another Information Server. However, you can use the Information Server Migration Wizard to migrate licenses from one Information Server to another.

Licensed Date
This field contains the date that the selected license was stored on the Information Server.

Days Left

License options items
bv-Control for Windows requires the following types of licenses:
- Workstation
- Server
- User
Note: Separate Workstation licenses do not exist on the control side. Compliance Manager license contains the licenses for Workstations. For example, Beta license - Symantec Control Compliance Suite 8.5 for Windows Managed User, 90 day Evaluation_6207907 includes the workstation license.
When you initiate a query, the Query Engine attempts to gather information from all servers and workstations. If you want to collect information from workstations only, and you do not have any or all of your servers and workstations licensed, the RMS Console returns an error message stating that are not enough licenses to provide complete data. To avoid this error, bv-Control for Windows lets you choose to skip workstations or servers when running queries.

I can't see them doing leagues and stuff, but I'd say they need at least internationals in, it's not as if they don't use the same players every year anyway, get some new ones.
I'd also like celebrities, Fifa Towie - I'd slide tackle everyone.

It probably is actually. How many extra sales would it get them for the outlay? I'd guess at not enough.
FishyGinger wrote:True but then how many games have they had those players in now and how many people watch these teams mainly for those players? I assume the amount of new buyers who wouldn't have bought before because there is a ladies league/players would not outweigh the cost substantially of putting them in there. Not in one go anyways, maybe if they slowly integrated it.
I'm not against it if it seems that way, I think it would be quite a good move but from a financial point of view on their half I'm not so sure.
I would be interested in my data though like the average amount of people who go to watch mens football to womens and number of players.

Jan 5, 2013 7:40 PM by Dennis Bragg - StormTracker Weather Center
MISSOULA - After getting the New Year off to a sunny though cold start, this coming week promises a return to those other winter conditions, snow and freezing rain.
High pressure that protected the region from storms for much of the week has been breaking down, opening the door for incoming storms coming across the Northwest off the Pacific.
Patchy freezing fog could form again overnight in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys, as we see overnight lows down to the mid-teens.
In Northwest Montana, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Kootenai-Cabinet region and the Lower Clark Fork, where snow showers are expected overnight that could impact driving conditions.
Those showers are expected to also have some impact on the Flathead and Mission Valleys, but especially in Glacier National Park and along the Divide.
For Missoula and the Bitterroot Valleys, not much accumulation is expected from the snow showers.
Snow could hit off and on throughout the day Sunday and into Monday, and by Monday we might see an inch or two in some of the valleys. Freezing rain could be a possibility later on Monday as well.
Highs Sunday should reach 30 degrees.
