Couple of more points I never mentioned in my initial posting: I quit after starting this thread, by the way, and never went back to that most-stressful, most-dangerous of situations. (1) After I quit, I got word from a social worker that he was now ...

How do I edit the title on this thread? I just realized I wrote the wrong name for the company. The correct name is "Universal Health Services". Maybe a moderator could fix this for me? Thanks!
I felt a moral need to say something about working as an RN for UHS. Specifically, I have been working in the intake department of a freestanding psychiatric hospital in the Southeast region. I have had several jobs working in the psychiatric depart...
i know this post is two years old, but why did you have to tell "your side of the story"? why didn't you just shut the door and go about your business?

Let's just remember that alcohol is much more dangerous than cannabis. To take only one point, it is quite easy to drink too much and die. It is impossible to smoke too much and die. So I hope anyone that says, "Shame on you, potsmoker," never drin...

Thanks for the info. The Virginia BON site is pretty weak and some of the links are broken. Does anyone know what a U.S. nurse has to do to work in New Zealand? I know they pay very little, but I'm toying with the idea of going there just for the e...
While applying for licensure in Virginia, I was surprised to see that Canadian nurses (outside of Quebec) automatically can become RNs in Virginia. Here's my question: where can U.S. nurses go and immediately start working (assuming they have a visa)...
Looking for some advice... Yesterday I interviewed at a hospital in a smaller city in the southwest U.S. that is fairly desperate for nurses. Before I left, the nursing manager said that I got the job, and that H.R. would be contacting me, and that I...
I just saw this other video of tiny worms supposedly coming out of a man's face. I don't have any good reason to think the video is a fake, except that I have no idea what condition would cause this. The human botfly lays its maggot egg in one spot,...
Had you already signed the employment contract at the second-choice place? If so, did the contract have some stipulations which made it hard to escape?
