6. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

   Forest2 replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

   I left bedside nursing because I could no longer tolerate 12 or should I say 13 plus hour shifts. Even though I work eights now and have weekends off, the weekends feel really short. But, at least I can mentally and physically do it.

7. Webcams in Nursing Homes?

   Forest2 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

   A nurse I talked to recently said she had one aide for 30 patients, many of which were incontinent. How do you keep 16 or so people clean and dry or feed 10? Someone will be getting cold food or sit in urine for awhile. That is a sad reality.

    Forest2 replied to Louise Henaut's topic in New Nurse

    I feel for you. If you want to be an ED nurse, don't let this break your soul. Try to get on where you did your preceptorship. Sorry this happened.
