    Forest2 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

  7. New Grad making small mistakes!!!

    Forest2 replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    That's true, it is standard nursing care. They probably add in the order, maybe it is prompted electronically from the scale or some such thing as that. You are right though that it really doesn't...

    Forest2 replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    That's right Kitty, I should have mentioned sharing the duty, like you get them now and I will get them later, or take you take this room this shift and I will get the other guy. I've done that but...

  19. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  24. I always get called if someone is sick

    Forest2 replied to Grogon's topic in General Nursing

    So, you are venting here (good) and you are asking if being called in early is common. It is not uncommon to be called and asked to work. It happens a lot in one way or another. If you don't want to...
