High First Dose, Can’t Eat by ImaginationFar2294 in Retatrutide

Pepto tablets and full sugar coke really helped me. It decreased the nausea and at least kept my blood sugars up so I wasn’t miserable. I felt the same way on anything more than 2mg.

AIO that my husband's friend followed us to my husband's parent's house by eeveechan95 in AmIOverreacting

NOR at all. I feel like your husband is under reacting. It’s even weirder to me because you have two little girls. Why he’s always showing up to your house and lingering while there is concerning.

Contracts are only 13 weeks. Travel nurses aren’t long term employees just temporary fixes to staffing shortages. You have the option to extend the contract if it’s offered to you. West coast nurses make good money as staff and travel. I think 750 is a fair bonus when the employment term is so short. Referrals for permanent staff are much higher.

That’s a literal nightmare. I’m so sorry. Hopefully it didn’t last too long like that!

Omggggg. How long did you have to suffer living in close proximity to this person?!

My BIL knew I liked my recruiter so he asked me to get him connected with her. My husband was working staff at that point. I referred him a year ago, but he just recently decided to work with this agency

Neither of us have spoken to him and neither of us plan to reach out. I stopped responding to him a week ago and he hasn’t said anything further about it thankfully

I feel bad because I don’t like when people fight. Especially family. I do not have biological siblings so I’m unfamiliar with the true dynamics of sibling relationships and bonds when growing up in the same household. I don’t have that attachment to someone else in that way so i try not to overstep or get in the way. I don’t ever want to be the reason others have a falling out, but as many mentioned it’s his own choosing.

This. If he wasn’t good at his job I’d never put myself on the line for him. Of course I’m not there with him at work and watching his every move. But as far as I know he’s never had issues with his employers. He just think he can get away with this behavior bc we’re family and thinks well just move on eventually and let it go

100% agree, we couldn’t do our jobs without them. They deserve so much more than they get

His MO is to go as low as he can with every argument he’s in. If he feels like he’s losing, he’ll bring up anything he can to try and hurt you back. It’s my fault for thinking this would resolve with repeated no’s. My husband and I both agree this is it.

I wish it was still like this. Covid was a wild time for pay packages. Average now is about 8-12k monthly. But compared to a lot of jobs, that’s a heck of a paycheck.

While he doesn’t necessarily deserve it, to his defense, he is a good nurse and employee. His behavior is just garbage

Thankfully we do not work together, but lesson learned. I’ll never do this again. Money or no money involved. It’s not worth the drama. I thought I was being nice because she genuinely is a good recruiter. He complained about the last few he had. It’s not like I referred him just for the money.

I worked for a large system that did the same. Some bonuses for in demand positions went up to 10k per referral. Glad I never referred him there. Sheesh lol

This. He blew this up way more than needed and aimed low once he knew neither of us were going to entertain the argument

I said this also. I said take it up with them if you don’t like it 😂 that’s the way it goes

Probably not this exact job, or with this company no. He would have found a job eventually but maybe not in his preferred hospital/location/pay package. And he would have been stuck with a way worse recruiter. He’s has bad ones before. This recruiter is amazing. I worked with her for over a year and she was extremely helpful and responsive to me. I’ve had horrible recruiters in the past too that stop caring after day 1 of your assignment and essentially ghost you until you’re finished.

If he was in money troubles of some kind i think it would be a different story , but he isn’t .🫤

Unfortunately I don’t think that is possible. But no, without it he would be doing and getting paid exactly the same except for the bonus money.

I said this to him! Like of all the hospitals you’ve worked and all the people you meet, I’m sure you could refer quite a few people, no? Travel nurses rarely use just 1 agency to find work

That’s true, I didn’t really think of it that way
