  1. Spouse of nurse

    Forest2 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the feelings you have of being resentful. In that you feel you bear the brunt of the responsibilities while the spouse does something less stressful and more enjoyable work. I felt like...

  2. I cant stand the attitude of many nurses

    Forest2 replied to Lostsoull's topic in General Nursing

    Stressed out nurses usually aren't the nicest people to be around. I know when I am just trying to survive a shift, I am not especially pleasant. I'm not mean or disrespectful, but I'm not running...

  3. When Nurses Dream...and Have Nightmares!

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My dreams revolve around the panic I feel with so much to do. Lots of different

  4. Orientation, alot at once.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    I have had some great experiences in orientation, I just want to put that out there. I should probably rant about some of the great things that have taken place and not air my feelings as

  5. Orientation, alot at once.

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you I appreciate the feedback. I so much want to get it right, as you know you aren't allowed to make mistakes in nursing so I guess that is why I feel anxious to get it down as quickly as...

  6. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Forest2 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on how much experience a nurse has, managers may not want to hear of all the jobs someone has had for 30 plus years. I have filled applications where they only ask for the last...

  7. Regret after starting ICU?

    Forest2 replied to basic_b_pancakes's topic in Critical Care

    I guess I am similar and wish you the best of luck and glad you are working on a

  8. Nursing Home Resident Taunted by CNAs

    Forest2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, it certainly does need to change but I don't see it happening. What is one to do? Most healthcare people work all the time, how to "March on Washington" for the elderly. I don't see it...

  9. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently I was reading about bait and switch during preliminary interviews. I then recalled the worst interview torture that I was ever subjected to. It was a few years back and I had applied for a...

  10. September 2019 Caption Contest

    Forest2 replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Announcer: Dr. Death and Robonurse have taken control of the hospital placing staff into trance-like states and throwing patients into spasms of terror! Oh the horrors! Will nurse Julie wake up, will...

  11. Regret after starting ICU?

    Forest2 replied to basic_b_pancakes's topic in Critical Care

    You did not say you were a new nurse but my advice would be basically the same. If you are coming home crying pretty much after every shift, then I'd say it's not for you. It will make you sick in...

  12. Was I wrong to report a co-worker?

    Forest2 replied to beyondhere's topic in General Nursing

    When a home care patient voices a concern about another employee it is best to pass it along to a manager. Let them take care of it. One caregiver should not try to remedy the situation with another...

  13. Mom,Wife going back to nursing school at 36

    Forest2 replied to DjanaO.'s topic in Nursing Career

    My mother went to nursing school when she was 35. I was the oldest child. I guess it was something that she dreamed of doing for years. It worked out good for her, but it didn't for me. Just a...

  14. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    Forest2 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    The past tends to haunt. I think I even had PTSD over a bad employment experience. It took me a few years to get over it and I still think of it from time to time. You gotta let that crap go. It...

  15. Rushed 7 day orientation, forced to resign

    Forest2 replied to latebloomer74's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's crazy, talk about

  16. Med/Surg Experience and Changing jobs

    Forest2 replied to JM-RN2018's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What I would do looking back to when I first graduated...…..For one thing I was so happy to be making an income I didn't think about being unhappy in my work. But, if I were and knew then what I...

  17. How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    Forest2 replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    I never wash my scrubs, I just spray febreeze on

  18. Murder-Suicide of Elderly Couple Worried About Healthcare Bills

    Forest2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I wonder if there was a suicide note saying why. Lots of people have bills laying around. These stories always leave me wanting to know more details. Anyway, for sure medical care is very...

    That is interesting. Seems like it is always the man who does the killing, not the

  20. HHS Releases Report of U.S. Top 10 Causes of Death

    Forest2 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I believe it is improving. The local hospitals have put in gyms and we have employee health nurses and coaches that help the employees in being more healthy. There are smoking cessation classes and...

  21. Nursing Home Resident Taunted by CNAs

    Forest2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I don't think anyone is saying this is OK. Of course not. We have a problem in the US with caring for older Americans. Basically we as a population do not value these people. If we did, then this...

  22. Nursing Home Resident Taunted by CNAs

    Forest2 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    You are right on here. I have worked with many fine aides in LTC however, there are some that were not as mature, have the self control or make good decisions as

  23. Is nursing your passion?

    Forest2 replied to coffeecup's topic in Nursing Career

    Sorry to say it is not my passion, it is how I make my living. What I love to do there is no income for. It is something that can't be incorporated into my job. I envy those that are nurses and it...

  24. New to HH/ Rant/ Advice

    Forest2 replied to aksti1018's topic in Home Health

    It will get easier once you are more comfortable with the job. Hopefully you just aren't assigned what ever patients someone else can't see and have your own patient list. That and using a laptop...
