NP’s rock. We are blessed with Ms. Mojica’s presence.
Well, aside from the fact that we have hardware and software that could easily do the job of an NP, it is impressive that it only took 10 years to come up with a provider to see children in SoHum…
On behalf of the hundreds of employees who came and went, who were underpaid, given worthless benefits, who were mistreated, exploited, abused, harassed and generally who witnessed inept, crooked, incompetent and nepotistic and illegal management, good luck to the new employee silly enough to work for SoHum Health!
At least you are “from here”, so you will be unsurprised by the attitudes and the conditions of the patients…
The thing I loved most about working for JPH, was being monitored by the hidden microphones and cameras that are installed all over the facility…
Don’t be surprised if you have the urge to flee, after the first week or so, as fleeing would be a healthy response to the insanity you are about to be exposed to! I certainly wish I had walked back out the door after a week, but, I did learn what to avoid in a healthcare employer…
There are worse places to work than SoHum Health, but I will let you find them on your own…
Like all of us you’ve made some bad choices and good ones. But hey, we’re, so far, on the right side of dirt. As Dire Straits might have sung “I Love My NPZZZ!”
Always happy to read a VMG post. Sorry to hear that you are permanently on monitoring.
“POM” is inaccurate, as I am only monitored on a day to day basis…
Dang capitalism, greedy people in the medical field just chap my arse.
Dude, that’s your take away from this article?
I was being sarcastic.
LR, I’m surprised at you, chewing on folks that actually work for a living…
When I worked at JPH, they didn’t “participate” in Social Security, a fact that came back to haunt me once I was retired…
The lies I was told and the administrators who were lining their pockets while telling lies to the public were the things that affected MY arse, and the funniest thing is, they are still there, doing the same things, 10 years later!
What SHOULD chap your arse, is the overpaid and underperforming CEO, who hired his own daughter to apparently, be the face of the institution!
That alone, is a violation of their own policies and procedures, and, in a very small town, should have gotten him fired years ago.
I sure hope somebody in GBV puts down their Bong and their Meth-pipe soon and starts giving a toot, but I’m not holding my breath…
AND: LR:
If you work for a living, get all you can get, and keep moving on until you are compensated fairly, valued by your employer, and until you find a place to work where you don’t have to endure constant mistruths out of the mouths of your leaders…
Save, invest, and persevere, and you too may die with a few bucks left over…
The funny part is, why become an RN, then an MSN, and THEN become an NP?
Medical School would have been an obvious choice, but, being a Doctor these days, isn’t my idea of a sensible occupation…
Who doesn’t “participate” in Social Security? While I appreciate the sentiment, that pretty rebellious, even fer So Ho..and really shitty for employees. Yikes.
Well, schools, for one, and certain “government” employers, can opt out and therefore save the 6.2% on the employer side…
For a crappy little cheap-ass operation, like the SHCHD of the time, they do supposedly have a “pension” plan, but nobody ever was vested in it, because nobody was allowed to work there for over 1 year… Just another lie they told everyone…
I hear they “participate” now, but when I got my first paycheck, I nearly quit.
It’s a cheesy place to work, but the education gained was, well, really something, and I started a 457 plan with 20% of my income, ending up with $17,000 when I “separated” my employment with SHCHD, and the $17,000 grew, in a few years, to $50,000, which I then transferred to my IRA…
The money into my Social Security totals would have raised my retirement benefit a bit, but this story illustrates why you need to be awake, when you accept employment in poor-quality backstreet hospitals which are operated by shady sorts of people…
See my book, “Poor Quality Employment in Northern California”, for more info…
Interesting..
