  1. Can nurses help uninsured patients ?

    Forest2 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Specialties

    I used to do this for people in home health care. We had a social worker but she wasn't much help and didn't want to put in any effort. I'd lead them to the right people and contacts so that they...

  2. Putting license into inactive

    Forest2 replied to KatiejonD's topic in General Specialties

    You should be able to find this with your board of nursing. I wouldn't inactivate my license, you may suddenly and unexpectedly need

  3. Burnout: What would you do in my situation

    Forest2 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Specialties

    I like to take care of patients that come and go quickly. I don't like having the same ones all day long for a few days in a row. That gets sooooo old. So what kinds of patients do you think you...

    Forest2 replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't seem right that she can now claim she never gave it when there were two collaborating witnesses that she indeed did. What in the world is going on here? Keep us up to date, this is a real...

    This is really getting bizarre! My first impression is that she is trying to get herself out of a hole, but I could be wrong. Very strange. Is she an ER nurse too or from another unit

    You are correct about that as this behavior can be indicative of

  8. Feedback appreciated

    Forest2 replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    I thought, "oh" not that I was particularly surprised because crazy things happen all the time in nursing. However, a corrective action is needed in the system and to correct the ways the "loose...

  9. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it seems there is a lot of being offended these days. Myself? I'm humble. There will always be someone who knows more than I do and I'm not afraid to say so, we all got our issues. Pride...

  10. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    One I didn't want to work for! A county hospital. This probably took place about 7 years ago, I'm guessing, but was a few years

  11. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I know it is prohibited and have always known that it was. No question there. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of someone being compensated for being asked if they were married or not...

  14. Feedback appreciated

    Forest2 replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    This strikes a cord. At the very end of a morning med pass a patient went bad and the doctor was giving verbal orders and all sorts of activity going on as you can imagine. I asked another nurse on...

  15. First E-Cigarette Ban: Mark a Win for Public Health

    Forest2 replied to Jill Weberding MPH's topic in Nursing News

    I take the stance that people have the right to choose a healthy lifestyle or unhealthy one. I also think that kids shouldn't smoke. I have completed a community study in my county about youth...

  16. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    I wish people would use the rules of debate instead of personal attacks. Maybe we can agree that nurses have a lot of responsibility and if working in an environment with an administration that is so...

  17. Nursing job is making me sick ?

    Forest2 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    3-12's I would be not the norm. But, I am not surprised that you were told this by a recruiter. I really liked home care but some people don't. Have you considered talking to a career coach? Nurse...

  18. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    They certainly can ask what you do for fun, what are your hobbies, etc. There are tricks that can be used to illicit information without specifically asking the question. Have you ever heard of...

  19. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I myself have interviewed people. I taught myself how to do it. I offer a bottle of cold water, am friendly and interactive with the candidate. I tell them what I plan on doing and I do it. I...

  20. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    It happens. I had an interview once and the DON said it was the best interview she had ever had in her career. I did not get the job.. Getting wiser all the time and don't believe half what I am told...

    They don't need a reason in my state. They just do it when and how they want. If they want to play mean they can. Lack of

  22. let go from job

    Forest2 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why people act this way, Maybe Ddoo can tell us the rationales that are possible. A hundred years ago I was a cashier in a small grocery store, I was told by another cashier that the...

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    OMG! Yea, feel like you will pass out, or curled up in a fetal position, moaning and rolling around in bed. Have gone to work like that, leaning over with my head on the desk or rocking back and...

  25. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Forest2 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I know! If they think I can educate the surgical department and OB and everyone, then that is impossible. I would have been hired to do general education, not the specific education to those...
