  1. 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 ...
  2. 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!
  3. 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...
  4. 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?
  5. Just took random drug test

    And we all know that laws never change, right? That's why we still have alcohol prohibition and the gangsters that go along with that black market, right? The largest state in the U.S. is probably going to legalize by referendum in 2012? The myth of...
  6. Just took random drug test

    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...
  7. Could anyone give me a ball park figure - What would be the hourly pay for an RN with one year of psych and med-surg experience? THANK YOU!!!!!!!
  8. New Mexico Shortage???

    There seems to be some disagreement about whether or not there is still a nursing shortage in NM. Another poster recently mentioned that recruiters are getting hundreds of applications a day. Looking at the hospitals' Web sites, it looks like there...
  9. No nursing shortage in Central VA

    I'm not quite sure where some of the previous posters are getting their information. Lynchburg is an easy place for an RN to get a job. Centra Health has a long list of RN job openings. New Grads can even get hired to specialty units like ICU or ps...
  10. Salary in Australia

    I'm assuming that the dollars you are citing are Australia dollars, not US dollars? So $60,000 AUD is actually US 39,000 ?
  11. Nurse Licensure Compact for COUNTRIES?

    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...
  12. 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)...
  13. 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...
  14. Patient with maggots in head

    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,...
  15. Job Offered... Now What

    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?
