  1. RN with huge medical debt, looking for high paying work

    weetziebat replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. :) Yes, I felt totally safe there. The Saudi people are as dead set against terrorists as we are, and once the terrorists started killing Saudi's, and made their hatred of the Royal...

  2. Rescue 911---Staff Member Down!!

    weetziebat replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my anaphylactic reaction to Sulfa, the doctor told me next time would kill me. That was ~ 1982. Then a couple of years ago, a doc prescribed Celebrex for me. Big red sticker on the chart...

  3. RN with huge medical debt, looking for high paying work

    weetziebat replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    Hi R., Well, I can give you some info on working in the Middle East. I worked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from Jan. '91 to Jan. '98, in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia from Jan. '02 to April '02 (a 3 month locum...

  4. Rescue 911---Staff Member Down!!

    weetziebat replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Now that's scary - having no idea what caused the anaphylaxis. And not having an Epi-pen! Certainly hope he can figure it

  5. Rescue 911---Staff Member Down!!

    weetziebat replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Good job, Marla:flowersfo Thank goodness you were in the building! :yelclap: Can only imagine what the outcome would have been otherwise - the chaos, coupled with lack of knowledge regarding...

  6. Group One

    weetziebat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Now that is just SLIMY. On the other hand, are there positions available for these jobs? I'd love having nothing better to do than sit around reading a nurses chat site - except don't know what I'd be...

  7. Customer Satisfaction Surveys: Tell me what you think

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

    Good points, Angie. Actually the only times I've been hospitalized in the last 25 years were in overseas facilities - in mostly Third World countries. And must say I have absolutely no complaints...

  8. Customer Satisfaction Surveys: Tell me what you think

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

    I actually have nothing against those surveys. It is one way for management to finally see in writing what so many patients fear to say while they are hospitalized, for fear of retaliation, or because...

  9. Group One

    weetziebat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, mydesygn. It is just this one organization that does not respond to my inquiries. But considering they cover over 100 doctors it means a lot of jobs - in doctor's offices and clinics anyway....

  10. Group One

    weetziebat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Alright - I have a question. Last year I was offered a position working in a clinic in a very distinct area in which I had absolutely no experience. Had also applied for other jobs at the same time....

  11. Group One

    weetziebat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I just found this thread and am sitting here shaking my head, finding it hard to believe that such an organization exists. Its absurd that there are actually enough mean-spirited, anal, nasty,...

  12. traumatized by vermin

    weetziebat replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh my goodness.........I lived in Tucson and Phoenix a long time ago and only for a short while. Never saw any vermin indoors, or outdoors now that I think about it. But from y'all's postings, I'm...

  13. Have you meet Jnette: "Goody 1 Shoe"

    weetziebat replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    ahh.....jnette, i'll never be articulate enough to convey how much you mean to me, and how much i've enjoyed knowing you over the past couple of years. you are a nurses' nurse - the one we'd all like...

  14. Pregnant and terrified NICU nurse here...

    weetziebat replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Ya know, one of the surprise (for me) benefits of being pregnant was that I never had to worry about my posture, if my belly was sticking out. "YES, my belly is sticking out, and I have a good reason...

  15. Confused. Confirm or forget it?

    weetziebat replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is an excellent suggestion. What I would not do is to just forget about it. Write the letter, with a way you can be contacted, and perhaps you will hear from them again. If not, there are...

  16. Pregnant and terrified NICU nurse here...

    weetziebat replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    gompers, sorry to find this thread so late. though i did see the one where you said you have a big secret. :balloons:congratulations on your pregnancy:balloons: i am sooo happy for you and...

  17. ER RN Angry & Frustrated!!!

    weetziebat replied to Ginger35's topic in Emergency

    Ginger, I certainly don't know the laws in Ohio, but regarding the patient - she definately should have been on a backboard, as well as the collar. Even if she was walking around. We all know patients...

  18. RN LTC 3rd shift payrate

    weetziebat replied to adrn03's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine in Connecticut you'd make more, but (with 20 years RN experience) I was just offered $19.25/hour for

  19. Nursing Shortage?

    weetziebat replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing

    you said it..........and you said it perfectly. i have nothing to add, except would you mind having company herding those

  20. WHere would you rather work...

    weetziebat replied to mommy2boys's topic in General Nursing

    I'd want to work for and be cared for in a not-for-profit hospital. Patient care needs to mean more than just money, and that has been my experience at for-profit facilities. Money was

  21. Negativity????!!!!!!!

    weetziebat replied to Hospice4me's topic in General Nursing

    Hockeytown, I agree that there is a way of complaining that is humorous. The only problem with that is the people who gossip, complain and make fun of people in that humorous, catty way. Yes, it can...

  22. I Got The Job!!!!!

    weetziebat replied to ShayRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Congratulations! that is excellent news. I don't have any tips but nurselearner's book sounds like it would be good to read. Enjoy your new

  23. Negativity????!!!!!!!

    weetziebat replied to Hospice4me's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice4me, can I work with you please? All it takes is one whiney, bi*chy person with a negative attitude and, you're right, it seems to be catching. I hate to be around them cause I find myself...

  24. Problem...Should I Go Back Or Not

    weetziebat replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Chadash, this is exactly the same situation I was in. Administration tolerating, and even encouraging, staff who should never have been working there. And, you are so right - allowing this behavior in...

  25. Problem...Should I Go Back Or Not

    weetziebat replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    HannasMom, I think you just answered your own question in that last sentence. BTW, it sounds very much like the last place I worked. Taking care of 115 patients with perhaps two nurses. Extremely...
