  1. Should I divorce my husband

    Forest2 replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    Bad move on part of the hospital. Not funny to me. How would they like it if a senator made a totally false comment about hospital administrators? Like they spend a big part of their day playing...

  2. How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Forest2 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind a pat on the back. but a hug I don't go for. It kind of depends on if it creeps me out or not. If it creeps you out then just look her straight in the eye and say " I am not a touchy...

  3. Nursing management necessary?

    Forest2 replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me that you have bad managers. Why don't you leave this job and transfer to another area of the hospital or another place completely? I remember being a administrator nurse and the floor...

    Forest2 replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    WOW.

  5. Nursing management necessary?

    Forest2 replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started nursing there was no physician in the house on night shift, not in ER, not anywhere and we had no supervisor. We all did what we needed to do because we were responsible adults....

  6. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Forest2 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Not only for new nurses who don't know doo doo, but for knowledgeable nurses who don't know doo doo about your particular hospital or unit. I know nursing, but the orientation I have had in some...

  7. New grad nurse needs help giving report

    Forest2 replied to zbar's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like a lack of focus, because there can be a lot of things going on that side track you. Make a cheat sheet, Imagine giving report like a medic gives to nurses when they bring...

  8. New grad nurse needs help giving report

    Forest2 replied to zbar's topic in General Nursing

    I think the staff nurses could use some education, if they don't like the report then they should help her understand what they need to know. Like when she starts onto something, just say, "ok, skip...

    Forest2 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

    There are good deaths and there are bad deaths, but how ever you look at it there are going to be a lot of them. I hope you learn to process these occurrences because as I said, there are going to be...

  12. Nurse Accused of Taking Naked Photos of Nursing Home Patients

    Forest2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Must be a sicko, I mean, why the H----- would somebody do that? Was it a power trip, to demean people, a sick thrill? Gross! She should be stripped of her license and go to jail at least for HIPAA...

  13. Messed up and the end of career path.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    I wish I had done administration, but I was always heard that you should go for what makes you the happiest. I have been practical all my life, just making decisions on what was the right thing, the...

  14. Messed up and the end of career path.

    Forest2 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am sitting around feeling sorry for myself today because I have put in a tremendous amount of work, energy and money in a career that still leaves me as a bedside nurse. The current job is a long...

  15. Messed up and the end of career path.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked in a position once where I was able to teach some. I would take opportunities that presented themselves. I taught a couple of aide how to apply an ace wrap to legs, they were extremely...

  16. Messed up and the end of career path.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    A million years of nursing experience and a lot of home health. My current job isn't very rewarding, I don't get to do as much as I did in home care. There was always something interesting going on,...

  17. Feeling Reprimanded Unfairly

    Forest2 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sounds like a wishy washy place to work. I'd scram out of there because something ain't right. I do agree that BON's have too much power, not enough oversight. They can ruin a nurses life. Can't a...

  18. Reasons nurses get fired

    Forest2 replied to Nursing On The Run's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, you report what you did, you write up the incident full well knowing where you went wrong and swear to the heavens that it will never happen again. Then you get called into an office and...

  19. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    Forest2 replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    I understand not quitting and it makes you feel like a failure to just even think it. You may have been cornered into nursing as a career choice, it happens. Now that you are done with schooling...

  20. Messed up and the end of career path.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    I could move to the capital but I don't think it would be worth it financially or very feasible as I already own my (hopefully) retirement home and my parents are aging. I overheard one nurse...

  21. On this week's episode of 'People Offending the Entire Profession of Nursing'...

    Forest2 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what kind of craziness I will read about

  22. Help with new grad RN orientation/Added shifts

    Forest2 replied to ICU.RN23's topic in General Nursing

    I remember everything being intimidating when I first became a nurse. Even if someone was kind but asking questions, even then, I got nervous. Perhaps she is so nervous she can't think, therefore...

  23. Reasons nurses get fired

    Forest2 replied to Nursing On The Run's topic in General Nursing

    Add misuse of facility/hospital

  25. Share Your Favorite Nurse Nurses Week Contest

    Forest2 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Definitely the character Major Margaret Houlihan of M*A*S*H played by Loretta Swit. Her high standards of nursing, leadership and general gumption inspire me. She is also a woman with great feelings,...
