  1. Don't apply here anymore or what??

    weetziebat replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, know the feeling. Any of your ideas could be correct, but IMHO it is just plain rude not to notify folks who have interviewed, one way or the other, as soon as possible. If this length of time...

  2. Falsely Accussed, Manager a Witch

    weetziebat replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Hon, there are just some people who are mean, nasty and are drawn like magnets to positions of power. People like your manager, who is in a position to say whatever she wants to you, feeling there is...

  3. Prayer for my son

    weetziebat replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Sending lots of positive energy your way, and will keep you and your son in my prayers. Every parent understands how worried you are - fingers crossed for a benign diagnosis. Please do let us know how...

  4. Managers! How do you decide who to hire and who not to hire?

    weetziebat replied to onlyanrn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, can only tell you about when I was hiring nurses. We'd look at if they showed up on time for the interview, how they were dressed, a general feel of competence, with experience to back that up....

  5. Overseas contractor jobs for RN's

    weetziebat replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to be so thick, but what does an RN contractor

  6. Some ER nurse I am

    weetziebat replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm soo sorry about your loss. No matter how much you might think you're prepared for death, thinking about it and experiencing it are two very different things. You certainly have an excellent...

  7. Hospice and Labor Unions

    weetziebat replied to williamssu's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We're union and I love it. But always have loved unions. In my last union job, they backed us when admin. was out to see heads roll (for no reason except admin was in a snit). Have seen too many...

  8. Think I've found my niche...

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    just finished week six. still . put 93 miles on my truck today, but at least i didn't get lost once. which is a new experience! still annoyed at myself cause i don't even come remotely close to...

  9. Think I've found my niche...

    weetziebat posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi y'all, Been wanting to get into Hospice nursing for ages, and finally managed it. Don't want to say anything too early, but just finished my first week in orientation and I am loving it! I enjoyed...

  10. narcotic use by staff

    weetziebat replied to moodychick's topic in General Nursing

    Does it seem too far-fetched to wonder if perhaps some people become nurses because they know they will have access to narcotics? To me it seems like far too much trouble, but maybe some don't look at...

  11. When you DONT get the job...

    weetziebat replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

    When I was looking for a job this drove me crazy. You can never tell if they mean what they say or not. Finally at the end of interviews, I'd just say "I'd appreciate you letting me know, one way or...

  12. considering move to oregon?

    weetziebat replied to debinius's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I live in Eugene and will say that the weather in Portland tends to be much hotter in the summers and much colder in the winters. I'm not talking Minnesota cold, just relative to other cities like...

  13. Pioneer Pacific's LPN program

    weetziebat replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon Nursing

    This is a new program for them so no real background to go on. But people I know who have attended Pioneer Pacific for MOA programs were very satisfied, felt they got a good education and assistance...

  14. Questions about nursing in Oregon

    weetziebat replied to Spatialized's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well, living in Eugene means this is the area I know best. The largest hospital, now located in Eugene, will be moving (building is in progress) to Springfield (our sister city - one side of the...

  15. How does this sound?

    weetziebat replied to photorn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Where I work our part time nurses are not case managers and pick up patients on a daily basis where the case manager is overloaded. Think you've gotten lots of good advice about what to ask. As far as...

  16. Promoting factor in cancer??

    weetziebat replied to fishchick72's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    :rotfl: Luckily I've forgotten about meiosos, mitosis, the Krebs cycle and all that other wonderful biology stuff. That's the wonder of allnurses.com - always someone to ask when you're not

  17. Promoting factor in cancer??

    weetziebat replied to fishchick72's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To me a carcinogen would be something we know to cause cancer, such as tobacco, excessive exposure to the sun, an occupation in which one works closely with chromium etc., exposure to radiation or...

  18. Need some perspective, please!!!

    weetziebat replied to hollya5334's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, I don't even know if I should answer your question, as I really don't know. Think it depends on the state and, I believe, as long as there is an RN 'available' that covers them. Hopefully, you'll...

  19. A nurse ate me as her young and I'm still paying for it

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

    :yeahthat:

  20. is anyone else stressed out?

    weetziebat replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    i'm really not trying to discourage you from going into nursing if it is what you want to do, but i do encourage you to dig deep to find out if it is what you think it is. anxiety because of non-stop...

  21. is anyone else stressed out?

    weetziebat replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    catlady, i couldn't have said it better

  22. Need some moral/ethical (?) input

    weetziebat replied to momdebo's topic in General Nursing

    You said it yourself - they are far from honest, trustworthy employers, and if they'll do something this sneaky and underhanded to this LPN, they'd surely have no qualms about doing something similiar...

  23. Think I've found my niche...

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Wa! Chris, I had no idea you were doing hospice nursing as well!! That's so neat. Glad to hear you like it as well. It must be the fact that it is so dang early in the morning, but ya know that old...

  24. Think I've found my niche...

    weetziebat replied to weetziebat's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Just an update.......heading into week four, orientation going great. Adore my co-workers (think they're all trying out for sainthood - no gossip, no backstabbing, no negativity etc.) Everyone seems...

  25. Female FOLEY

    weetziebat replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I had to insert a foley cath. today and, yes, it was embarrassing. Had to have another nurse help me with anatomical landmarks and I still aimed too high. It was were I would have thought to find the...
