  1. Strange Nursing Student

    weetziebat replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, I'm sitting here catching up on the posts, but find myself just shaking my head in bewilderment. I'm sorry, but what happened to common sense? As unfortunate as it may be, not everyone is...

  2. Strange Nursing Student

    weetziebat replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    And this is O.K. with his clinical instructors?!? Man, if that is the case, they are as weird as he is. I've certainly never met a nursing instructor who would tolerate that kind of behavior for one...

    weetziebat replied to NurseKitty NC's topic in General Nursing

    I know a young man who reminds me somewhat of the person in your description. I actually thought he was not able to speak for ages, cause he just sits there, laughing inappropriately, nodding his head...

  4. I don't know what to do... I need advice

    weetziebat replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! that is quite an amazing story. And I'd like to first offer my sincere condolences for all you've gone through. One question..at the time the housekeeper and her daughter died, wasn't there an...

  5. A Hard Lesson Learned

    weetziebat replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Marla, I think you are beating yourself up waaayyyyy too much over this. Nurses are human beings, and no matter how much we want to be perfect, we're not. Who is? You were facing this relative from...

  6. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    weetziebat replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Who the heck comes up with this crap? I mean, really!! We need to track 'em down and give them something better to do. "Your servers"! - why not just make it servants and be done with

  8. RN Magazine ~ July 1946

    weetziebat replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! While I hate the look of sloppy, wrinkled scrubs the thought of wearing a starched white uniform - especially in the summer - is unthinkable. Thanks for sharing these. I love

  9. Words of inspiration..add some!

    weetziebat replied to amber74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any quotes, but a long time ago I had a friend who was a doctor. One day I was saying how smart he must be to have made it through med school. He said "I'm not any smarter than you. I...

  10. A patient complained about me...

    weetziebat replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought was, no, why say anything unless you think the patient may be justified in being angry at you personally - unless it was mostly your fault that the admission didn't go well. But then,...

  11. Received this email today and I am steamed!!!

    weetziebat replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen this before, and take it simply as a joke. Been in nursing 30 years, and can see myself, when I first started, as the 'graduate' nurse. I never sat down - ran to answer everyone's call...

  12. I am so excited about this!!!!

    weetziebat replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Telephone Triage

    :balloons: Congratulations! Glad you have a job you enjoy, and the possibility down the road of working from home. Wish I lived closer to you - I'd be interested in that area of nursing as

  13. So embarrassed, just want to vent.

    weetziebat replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I am sooo sorry you had to go through that. It would be very humiliating, but to then have other women act as they did would just make it a hundred times worse. What a bunch of insensitive jerks!...

  14. A few questions for the "older" new nurses...

    weetziebat replied to adiliegro's topic in General Nursing

    I say definately go for it! I was 40 when I graduated, and though the nursing program is tough!! it wasn't any easier for the students in their 20's. You'll no doubt find many 'older' students in...

  15. VERY weird code today

    weetziebat replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the family never knew about it. The poor doc simply couldn't think of any way to tell the parents - unless, of course, it became obvious that the baby was gonna live. I'm very glad they...

  16. My prayers have been answered!!!!!

    weetziebat replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. VERY weird code today

    weetziebat replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't seen anything like you described, but have been in a weird code situation. Was working in NBICU when twins were admitted. The little girl was not doing well and finally coded. Was pronounced...

  20. How many of you practice homeopathy?

    weetziebat replied to healinghand's topic in Holistic

    Charlie, I see where you are coming from, but just because we don't know why somthing works doesn't mean it does not work. Allopathic medicine has great stakes in making people think they need an...

  21. Overwhelmed by preceptorship patient ratio!

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

    earthflower, not to make light of your predicament, but welcome to the world of ltc. i do think they should lighten up since you are precepting, and how do they expect you to learn anything if all you...

  24. A sign???

    weetziebat replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Being in Oregon also, I'd heard a version of that story, but it differed significantly from the version you heard. I'd heard that when the man woke up he was quite angry and wanted to know why the...
