  1. Thinking of quitting second job since May

    weetziebat replied to JentheRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Jen, Wow! you've really been through the wringer, haven't you? I certainly don't think you're abnormal being sick so often. I think its your body's way of saying you are unhappy and need to change...

  2. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    weetziebat replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your post. Can feel your frustration and sense of helplessness, and couldn't agree with you more. I've often wondered how some management folks can sell out so (apparently) easy, and...

  3. Allmost killed a patient by medication

    weetziebat replied to Great Dane's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. What could possibly be gained by punishing a nurse for an honest mistake? We are human, we make mistakes, no matter how hard we try not to, and being punished will only cause...

  4. Always Remember This, No Matter Who You Are!

    weetziebat replied to Lovely Valentine's topic in General Nursing

    Good post. :) Thanks for the reminder. What goes around, comes

  5. heading for a collision?

    weetziebat replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    Mtnmom, I can feel your frustration and panic through your words, and I agree with above poster that they scare me. You need to call someone - is there a RN call line connected to your local hospital,...

  6. thankyou

    weetziebat replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    Anna, was so surprised to see you've changed your mind. Am certain it had to be a very difficult decision, perhaps especially because it affects your marriage. After all this time, maybe he's got cold...

  7. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    weetziebat replied to admorn03's topic in General Nursing

    Addie, I think you bring up a very good point. I know many people feel it is a sin in the eye's of God to take your own life, but personally I believe that only the individual can make the decision...

  8. Aaaaaagggghh!

    weetziebat replied to TazziRN's topic in Emergency

    Yep, know just what you mean. When I worked overseas in pediatrics, seemed ~25% of the kiddos had lice. So, you have my sympathy. To put a positive spin on it, it could have been worse - it could...

  9. Where do you buy your scrubs?

    weetziebat replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the only uniform shop in town today to buy scrubs. Very nice shop with a huge selection, so I picked out tons, especially tops, and traipsed them all into the dressing room. Picked out a...

  10. US nurses working abroad

    weetziebat replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    You could also check out places like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emiriates and even Brunei. English is spoken at work and many natives speak it as well. Pay is O.K., furnished housing is provided,...

  11. Just An Aide Venting

    weetziebat replied to Nikki69's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nikki, I feel sooooooo bad for you - what you write about your shift is, unfortunately, happening all over the country, all the time. And it has been that way for as long as I can remember. And, even...

  12. What makes a great CNA?

    weetziebat replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    To me, a great CNA is an intelligent, caring person, who has been welled trained, and knows what a valuable member of the team they are. With an excellent CNA the floor can run like a dream - someone...

  13. Evil People

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

    To be honest, I kind of like this option. But to be realistic, I couldn't work in that atmosphere. You hit the nail on the head when you said the nursing shortage has nothing to do with nurse...

  14. I'm not a nurse, I'm the embarrassed patient

    weetziebat replied to larrym's topic in General Nursing

    O.K. - now I'm really confused. This is Larry's first post, yet you two know all about the incident. Anyway, hope you get it all straightened out

  15. I'm not a nurse, I'm the embarrassed patient

    weetziebat replied to larrym's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Larry, I'm sure sorry you've been having a difficult time of it, and to be embarrassed by your physician is definately not a good thing. I can understand you coming here for advice and support, and...

  16. Nurses are overpaid!

    weetziebat replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    For me, it would have cured the thought of ever going to a doctor again! 14g 2.5" needle! OUCH! Especially if it wasn't sharpened enough. Even if it was. :chair: I'm another one who would love to...

  17. Need to vent about not being able to VENT!!!

    weetziebat replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, Cathy, I'm so sorry for your awful week at work. Lots of :icon_hug:. Why do they put you guys on the same hall all three days when one side is so much heavier than the other? Seems only commom...

  18. small victory!

    weetziebat replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm............sounds pretty lopsided to me. Do you get the feeling they don't like you, or pick up vibes that they are trying to make your life difficult? Also, have you approached the nurses making...

  19. What is in this woman's mouth?

    weetziebat replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    No real ideas, just questions. Is the head of the bed kept elevated? Could it possibly be the formula is not going down into her stomach? Are lungs clear? How are her sinuses? Would she be better off...

  20. I am getting fired:(

    weetziebat replied to Danianne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've always believed that anyone in charge of nursing staff should have a thorough knowledge of just what their staff actually do. If they spent a bit of time doing that work bet they might look at...

  21. BKA following a hysterectomy, it really happened

    weetziebat replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is big-time lawsuit coming up! I also thought PT/PTT were mandatory pre-op, and certainly should have been followed post-op. I've known an amazing number of patients who didn't...

  22. I am getting fired:(

    weetziebat replied to Danianne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry about you losing your job. Nothing like kicking a person when they are down! If you have a doctor's note it seems they should realize you are unable to work, and try to be more...

  23. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    weetziebat replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    O.K. Fuzzy.....thought I might make it through this thread with dry eyes. All the posts about people made me smile. Yours made me cry like a baby. Wish I wasn't allergic to almost all animals - I...

  24. Tubal

    weetziebat replied to valnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That has got to be one of the weirdest reasons why someone couldn't have a tubal that I've ever heard of. What has one got to do with the other? I'd check with another doc if I were

  25. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    weetziebat replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just started working in a LTC facility in a tiny little town. There was a man there who I had taken care of when he had been a patient in the local hospital. He was a really nice guy, who'd had a...
