  1. I don't believe this.

    weetziebat replied to Town & Country's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow! That is scary. I don't know about "independent livers" but it seems to me that if you have a home, whether assisted living or not, you are responsible for having qualified staff available 24/7....

  2. Opinions, please: "Weeding Out"

    weetziebat replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    These are employees who are desirable enough to work when the hospital needs them, but now suddenly can be booted out? And then they wonder why staff has no loyalty. That comment certainly isn't very...

  3. Is medsurg a necessity for a new grad?

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

    Well, in my opinion, I really think that spending at least a few years in med/surg is beneficial. It gives you a solid background that you simply can't get otherwise. When I graduated as an LPN I went...

  4. Oh Father!!!

  5. Are you allowed to use personal cell phones at work?

    weetziebat replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, cell phones have no place at work. If there is an actual emergency, people will get in touch with you. Where I work the staff are told to keep the phones off and check for messages on...

  6. Career Advice

    weetziebat replied to communitynp2B's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a bit curious as to why you completed your BSN and now have these questions. How did you feel when you did your clinicals? Don't worry so much about what other people say. Some nurses love their...

  7. Can't read cursive?!?!?!

    weetziebat replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I can understand saying that handwriting must be neat, and readable. We've all had those times trying to decipher (mostly) docs writing, and I agree it is long overdue to insist it be...

  8. Can't read cursive?!?!?!

    weetziebat replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    What a scary situation when someone who is unable to read cursive is in school to become an RN!?! I haven't worked in a hospital in awhile, but don't docs still write orders? How can she possibly use...

  9. What happens if you hit bone in an inj?

    weetziebat replied to weeble's topic in General Nursing

    I have wicked allergies, that in the past have necessitated giving myself injections. And I have hit bone. UGH! Awful sensation, but no pain nor any residual effect. Have also hit bone on patient-...

  10. A Woman's Perfect Breakfast

    weetziebat replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    They're all great, Fran. But will have to remember the one about the remote control - have a feeling that could come in handy

  11. Two Questions About Quitting A Job

    weetziebat replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, Tweets, I don't know the answers to your questions. In my job, we are allowed to cash out only 40 hours PAL time if we leave. Just can't see most employers giving that much money, even though it...

  12. feel like I've lost a friend

    weetziebat replied to Purple Princess's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good for you, princess :) Best of luck to ya. Hang in there - it's tough, but if you want it, you can do

  13. Job Interview-took forever!

    weetziebat replied to avahsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck, hon. Yeah, job interviews have really gotten tough, in my experience, in the last few years. I used to go in and chat with one person for about 15-20 minutes, but now when we interview for...

  14. I think I got fired

    weetziebat replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! You are having the week from hell. So sorry to hear about your dad. Hope the surgery goes well and he improves. Also sorry to hear about the problems with your marriage. Of course, you know the...

  15. You Know You're A Nurse When...

    weetziebat replied to Farkinott's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think we should all wear these

  16. Tech Support for Men

    weetziebat replied to jnette's topic in Nursing Humor

    Good one, Jnette :rotfl:

  17. New Nurse..........

    weetziebat replied to rose28164's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Rose, Yes, it will get better. You have only been a nurse for seven months - you have to give yourself time and realize that we all felt that way. It is perfectly normal. Being a nurse is a huge...

  18. Nurses abroad?

    weetziebat replied to cserrah's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't know about the studying abroad, although that sounds like an excellent idea. But I was interested in working as an RN in Japan. Checked it out and was told that, in order to work there, you...

  19. Oh, please help me to leave you guys alone!

    weetziebat replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Just checked out Gary Spivey. Is that

  20. Oh, please help me to leave you guys alone!

    weetziebat replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I really feel for you. All your anxiety and antsiness (doubt that is a word) comes through real clear :rotfl: I'd suggest forcing yourself (did you ever think you'd have to force yourself to...

  21. anyone done lipo or work in plastic surgery?

    weetziebat replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say anything from personal experience, but have a good friend who had both done. She said the lipo (conscious sedation) was a weird sensation but she was very pleased with the results. As far as...

  22. A Nurse Made My Wife Cry

    weetziebat replied to MikeLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Mike - so sorry that happened to your wife. What is with some people anyway? Glad to hear she is filing a grievance. And that she didn't put up with that behavior. No job in the world is worth...

  24. How to handle cussing nurses?

    weetziebat replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Ditto! Man, it used to piss me off soooo bad when the staff would come in and start complaining, like I'd purposely given them the worst assignment possible. I used to spend forever trying to make it...
