  3. Fairness

    Forest2 replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    Doing scheduling is a nightmare. Always changing to meet somebody's requests. Maybe they aren't treating people badly just doing what they absolutely have to do. Walk a mile I say. I have been on...

  4. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Forest2 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Time for a family meeting. When people must depend on others to get their needs met then they have to compromise or suffer the consequences. Dad has to reveal all his assets with you and your sister...

    Forest2 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    She can go home with home care and if she has Medicaid and in Indiana it will pay long term as long as she needs her medications set up, that would give her an aide also if she needs assistance with...

  7. Fairness

  9. Pressors in Surgery Center?!

    Forest2 replied to Jen04 nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Requiring education on the pump but not on the drugs being administered on the pump seems very irresponsible. Try suggesting a class on pressors and see what the response is. Or better yet present...

  10. Shower tech advise

    Forest2 replied to Rennae11's topic in General Nursing

    Heaven help you. I would wear rubber shoe covers, like galoshes and a quick dry uniform and knee length waterproof apron or chaps. You are going to be hot and sticky and ready for your own shower...

  11. Where do I fit in?

    Forest2 replied to Knotanoonurse's topic in General Nursing

  12. Would you pray with a student?

    Forest2 replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

  13. Nursing pay..Check this out!

    Forest2 replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

  14. Why are they called, "Chucks?"

    Forest2 replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Just call them "underpads" and make it good. What ever they are called it doesn't matter really, however you could tell lay people that when they are soiled they get chucked, so that is why they are...

    Forest2 replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

  16. What is your worst visitor story?

    Forest2 replied to nordie's topic in General Nursing

    Forest2 replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

  21. Taking Job Hopping to a New Level

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I fully understand. It is very depressing to be doing a job you hate, the kind that you just dread going to days in advance. I know you don't want to stay where you feel work is sucking the life out...

  22. Home Health ?!

    Forest2 replied to hnwarden's topic in Home Health

    Home care is unique and not like any other nursing I know of. The nurse guides the care of the patient, including who does what, when, how and who is going to pay for it. The nurse monitors the...

  23. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    Forest2 replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career
