  1. Any nontoxic places to work?

    weetziebat replied to Undecided7's topic in General Nursing

    Just like to say I am so sorry for what you have obviously been having to put up with. And I'm certain that patients would definately have less confidence if they knew how understaffed hospitals are -...

  2. I Did It---I QUIT!!

    weetziebat replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Marla, soo glad to hear you finally resigned - you needed to do that! Now just relax and enjoy the holidays with your family, and then look for a job where you will be happier. I hope you'll also find...

  3. Need advice on $$ Xmas bonus for nurse?

    weetziebat replied to doctorwife's topic in General Nursing

    If it was me, I'd like a card with a nice crisp $100. bill inside. Think cash is much more useful than any gift certificate or gift. As you were thinking of $50. and a gift basket, sounds like $100....

  4. How to handle the docs

    weetziebat replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I try to be friendly and polite to everyone I work with, and find that there have been really very few nasty docs. But, years ago, I did work with a doc who just plain thought his you-know-what...

  5. Public Breastfeeding

    weetziebat replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, soldierswife - I was addressing that question to MarySunshine, about her BIL, the future nurse. And, yeah, I'm sure a 13 year old boy gawks at all boobs.

  6. Public Breastfeeding

    weetziebat replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    How does your BIL feel about women in tight sweaters, low-cut blouses, snug tee-shirts showing the nipples and such? Seems like that is just taken for granted nowadays, while the natural function of...

  7. I don't think I understand pain management.

    weetziebat replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, you bet she could and should have been given the second Vicodin. I'd have given that, and if it still did not control the pain effectively until the next dose was due (at which time I would have...

  8. Typical time from interview to job offer?

    weetziebat replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

    That's what happened to me. I was waiting, then accepted a job offer, thinking it didn't look good to have not heard back. The day after I'd accepted a job, got the call offering me the job I'd...

  9. Typical time from interview to job offer?

    weetziebat replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

    I just started a new job three weeks ago, and job hunting was a real eye-opener for me. I too was used to be offered a job immediately, but this time I applied for three jobs, had six interviews and...

  10. I don't think I understand pain management.

    weetziebat replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Lisa, it is making me frustrated just reading your thread. I have obviously met the very same nurses all through my career and have never understood their thinking. Especially the ones who are afraid...

  11. I'm tired of it! I had enough!

    weetziebat replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear the 'system' is burning out yet another nurse. I worked as an LPN for ~8 years, went back to school, thinking it would be better as an RN. Been doing this for the past 19 years....

  12. Books Books Books

    weetziebat replied to cdngirl's topic in General Nursing

    If I had enough room for storage, may be fun to keep them around for laughs in 50 years, but as it is - I simply put them out with the trash, in the recycling

  13. Santa Fe

    weetziebat replied to SANTA FE's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't they ask you to take either urine or blood tests for presence of drug in your system? Personally, though have never been in similar situation have worked in several places where meds would come...

  14. to Kay (madwife 2002)

    weetziebat replied to Silverdragon102's topic in International Nursing

    kay, :yeah:wanted to add my best wishes for a good flight and safe trip home to arizona. :yelclap: welcome to the

  15. Just needed to get this off my chest.

    weetziebat replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

  16. Just needed to get this off my chest.

  17. Another vent

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

    Yikes! only two students left in the class? He must be quite a guy! :) You're writing an article review for A&P? Anyway, as bad as it may be, must say that of all my classes, and as hard as it...

  18. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    weetziebat replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I totally agree with Abby. I would have said something like "I need to check your vital signs and take a look at your incision" just to let the patient know what was going to be happening....

  19. RN Student ISO African Volunteer Opport.

    weetziebat replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    Hi :) Please don't take this to sound mean, cause I certainly do not want to come across that way, but IMHO a nursing student really wouldn't have enough experience to offer as a volunteer in a...

  20. At Last!!! We Have Our Visas!!!!

    weetziebat replied to Rep's topic in International Nursing

    :balloons: Rep, Just found this thread and wanted to offer my congratulations to you and your family. I hope you will enjoy living and working in the U.S.A. Soo happy for you!!

  21. Dad has CA again

    weetziebat replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    Honey, you sure are not whining. Life is beating ya down right now, and being able to come here and just talk about it, venting, crying - whatever, is the most natural thing in the world. We may be...

  22. Should I take Chem Lab?

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

    Personally, I took three terms of chemistry and hated every single moment of it, but never spoke with another student who didn't think the lab was the most helpful part of the class. Seems to tie it...

  23. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    weetziebat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for the rotten experience, Chris. With your qualifications I would think they'd grab you up. If the internships are strictly for new graduates, I would have thought someone would have notified...

  24. Why are so many of us over weight?

    weetziebat replied to sarahhoughton's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that just because someone becomes a nurse, it doesn't automatically make them svelte, marathon-runners, who never touch partially hydrogenated fats. Personally, I'm ~25 lbs. overweight,...

  25. Strange Nursing Student

    weetziebat replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that, thank goodness, there are numerous areas in nursing to accomodate all kinds of people. I also believe that social skills are necessary in all of them. How many nurses do you know who...
