  1. Grrrr, sick of the RN Vrs LPN's

    weetziebat replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Fantastic response. Reminds me of the way to keep kids from fighting over who gets the bigger piece of pie - have one child cut the pie, and the other child pick which piece they want. Good for you...

  2. Wanted to share my wonderful moment

    weetziebat replied to AmyB's topic in General Nursing

    Awwww.......that is so sweet! Thank you for being the best kind of nurse - one who cares and takes the time to show it. And thanks for sharing - made me smile too.

  3. on probation because i made a mistake

    weetziebat replied to mom123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm rather amazed that a nurse would take it upon herself to double an ordered dose of medication. That is so clearly practicing medicine without a license. Phenergan is not a pain med, and you not...

  4. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

    weetziebat replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    i'm really surprised at this. if, in fact, this money was a tip, it makes me wonder if the 'rules' for nurses accepting tips has changed. i'm certain cardiologists make excellent money, and then for...

  5. Gender Relations

    weetziebat replied to nurse_shane's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally, I haven't seen anything posted I would call 'redneck'. Would be interested in what the comment was. I really enjoy reading the male nursing forum, but hesitate to post cause it just...

  6. Paperwork

    weetziebat replied to Jonesy's topic in Home Health

    Looks like things certainly get done differently. We do very little paperwork in the homes, and finish up at our homes. Sometimes it can be difficult to do it at home cause its too easy to get caught...

  7. Is Ativan 10 mg po per dose too much?

    weetziebat replied to lorster's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ativan 5 - 10 mg. Q 4 hrs. PRN??? Wow! way too much, IMO. No way would I have given that to anyone. Doc wants it, doc can come in and give it herself. Personally think she must have had it mixed up in...

  10. Question regarding alternative therapies

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Home Health

  13. Question regarding alternative therapies

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Home Health

    HomeHealth, thanks for the info. I know the AMA will fight tooth and claw to keep natural therapies out of allopathic settings - making everything a 'disease' and only 'allopathic' meds are allowed to...

  14. Situation Haunting Me

    weetziebat replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    Wow. I am soo sorry for you and what you had to deal with, in a doctor who appears to either not have cared or ???, but at the very least he should have explained his reasoning to you. I think you did...

  16. Question regarding alternative therapies

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Home Health

    Karen, Yeah, we use a text message beeper, which can only access other beepers. Not much good except to send messages to office. May check out cost of cell phones. Just something else to traipse...

    weetziebat replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Nursing

    I work 30 hours a week, with full benefits. Would actually prefer less, but things like the mortgage, car, food etc. have a way of insisting on money. But its a great place, wonderful patients,...

  25. I am a cursed idiot

    weetziebat replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    To me it seems as though you are a very unhappy person, looking for happiness outside of yourself. Which is not where you're going to find it. My suggestion would be to see a therapist. I'm sorry...
