  1. Should I have accessed her port?

    Forest2 replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that would have been something to discuss with the physician in charge of the patient. If doc gives OK to access per patient request and writes the order. Then OK by

  2. Career Crossroads

    Forest2 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Time passes a lot quicker than we think it will. Got a little kid? Yep, stay home. Can't you find some other kind of stimulus other than work to satisfy you? I would think that having special time...

  3. Patients that interfere with another patient's medical treatment

    Forest2 replied to Mandy2016's topic in Emergency

    OH, yea, I once had a drunk that hit someone head on in a car accident, he was not hurt, wouldn't you know ended up on my post-op unit. Getting out of bed, yelling where am I? etc. Keeping all my...

  4. Patients that interfere with another patient's medical treatment

    Forest2 replied to Mandy2016's topic in Emergency

    When things start to get out of hand a call to management is indicated. I wouldn't wait until TSHTF. Certain decisions have to be made by management, either the house supervisor or someone with...

  5. How NOT to Write an Incident Report

    Forest2 replied to CloverPark's topic in Nursing Humor

    One of the nurses wrote patient fell out of the electric

  6. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Forest2 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Someone once told me years ago, I think you act like you are only here for the paycheck. I said, well, I wouldn't be here if there weren't one and I don't think anyone else would be either. LOL. I...

  7. Have you restarted a nursing program?

    Forest2 replied to Stephab07's topic in General Students

    It is a little late to be addressing this now. At this point you have to start over I would say. Sorry you didn't take up arms at the beginning, I think you would have fought and won. Oh well, live...

  8. Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    Forest2 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

  9. Has this happened to you?

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have read about being on auto-pilot. There is a meditation called "mindfulness", it is something that is practiced in order to decrease anxiety. When you live in the moment and become aware of all...

  10. Does Hospital Leadership and Policy Promote Working When Sick?

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

    You know I think I would have laid myself out on a patients floor and let someone find me. If they found you and you were weakly calling help help that would be even better. This makes me mad that...

  11. Did my Interview go well? Or don’t count on a call?

    Forest2 replied to Adri1992's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a lot of interviews and they just keep you on tenterhooks all the time, It's nerve wracking for sure. Try not to think about it or you'll drive yourself crazy. Who knows what goes on...

  12. I need some help

    Forest2 replied to Sunwillcomeout64's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For sure you can't go back in time and take back what has already been said. So you say that one month after the so called theft they fired you over it? I would have sought out a lawyer. In any...

  13. Fast Paced NP Programs?

    Forest2 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I think it means continual enrollment. You don't have to wait for the regular university type semesters to

  14. Medication Error

    Forest2 replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    We all make mistakes, and what is your percentage considering the vast number of medications you give? I know you care or else you wouldn't feel so bad. Don't be so hard on yourself. You and I are...

    Maybe the problem will solve itself. Survival of the

  16. Seattle is Dying

    Forest2 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes complex problems have simple causes. Mainly I believe it is due to the deterioration of the traditional family unit and morals. It got worse with the "ME GENERATION" idea. Those license...

  17. Hospitals That Hurt Good Staff's Morale

    Forest2 replied to rnsteph87's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You can see the signs. When this type of thing happens nurses must vacate

  18. Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    Forest2 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    Part of it is the 12 hour shifts, I read of a study done showing causes of depression, etc. Night shift nurses also have higher rates of spontaneous abortion. They came up with those shifts due to...

  19. How do you feel about the role of a Nurse currently?

    Forest2 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Nursing

    The role of the nurse is so broad and there are so many kinds of nursing it is difficult to describe. The role of a hospital bedside nurse is different from a school nurse. I suggest narrowing it...

  20. I did this so in trouble

    Forest2 replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    Don't sweat it. Sometimes nurses get a little snippy me included. My take on it is that you sorta, in a way, yeah, kinda, told your manager she was wrong and you weren't going to do what they asked....

  22. Least stressful nursing job at a hospital?

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, uh, I am at the bedside. At the hospital in rehab. I did more nursing and more intensive acute nursing when I was in home care. It's really funny. I had to be checked off on accessing a port...

  23. Least stressful nursing job at a hospital?

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd love a job like that. My MSN is in education, but they don't think home care qualifies as experience( even though I have been a nurse since 1983). I find that most nurses don't know what home...

  24. Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    Forest2 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    After dealing with people, talking with people, on the phone with people, solving peoples problems all shift long. NOPE. Don't want to talk to people when I get home. My people time is

  25. Incompetence or bad night?

    Forest2 replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I am one of those nurses that does a better job at a skilled task if everybody around me just shuts up and stops watching me. Why can't people get it in their heads that a procedure is taking place...
