It's probably the cost cutting HMO mentality - don't get me started

Why not? That's part of the Venting Service the Board provides to

its members. But I agree with you completely if an HMO is involved.

You're right on all accounts, but that shouldn't have anything to do with

treating your patients appropriately. " Do no harm " I believe it's part of an

oath. And being an RN, I AM part of the medical profession & many times,

particularly when I worked in renal dialysis, there were VERY long shifts that

I,

not only didn't have lunch, have a break, but honestly, didn't peeee!!!! And I

don't recall getting paid anymore.

And when I worked medical malpractice. I can't begin to count the number of

hours I actually worked, especially during trials, when I " supposedly " was

" salaried " and " supposedly " worked 35 hours a week. I just can't remember

getting paid more then either. Must be my EDS memory. Though honestly, during

those early years, I truly was asymptomatic, so it wasn't my memory. This all

really didn't HIT ME until my late 20's & it's made up for lost time!!!! Take

a

breath. And remember, no speeding...
