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

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I am concerned they committed fraud and false advertisement. Maybe they will get sued

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

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    One thing my preacher used to say and it sticks with me to this day. Be difficult to offend and be difficult to offend. Meaning, you avoid offending others and you don't take offense. I guess I was...

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya. I got the ole bait and switch. Was not happy. I was asked to interview for the job and after the interview they told me that the position had been filled, but hey, we got this other one...

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Sounded to me she was just trying to fill holes. So, she did the bait and switch, hope it works

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

    Forest2 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I know what she means and I didn't take it personally. I'm not that darn sensitive. I would not want an ICU nurse to do my job, she needs to be in her own specialty where her expertise

  8. Help with behavior-based interview questions!!!!!!!!!

    Forest2 replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    Interviews are basically torture. I swear sometimes they actual mean to torture you. That aside, I have done a lot of interviews. I can honestly say that my best interviews did not land me a job...

  9. The Healthy Side of Disgust

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

    Not too much bothers me, but if it is nasty and has a terrible and strong odor, I just pop a mint in my mouth and all is well. On the other hand, I went to see a female patient of mine and her son...

  12. let go from job

    Forest2 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    When you work in such close proximity and in a small group it is very important for everyone to jell together. There are just some people that don't mix well. It's not that there is anything wrong...

    Wow, you are going to be a Nurse Shark? (pun intended) I think that is amazing! Way to

  15. Scared to leave nursing

    Forest2 replied to nurse_982's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh, so funny and true. You don't have to leave to do something else. Do the other thing AND keep your license up to date. I knew a nurse who volunteered 2 weeks a year on a Native American...

  16. Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Your one female intensivists needs a smart crusty old nurse to tell her, "You need to stop that, it's not helpful." Stop what? YOU KNOW.

  17. Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, you aren't the only one. Have I got stories! Yes, we arose from the chairs so the doctors could sit, as I was told, "their time is more precious than ours", then again, they came to the...

  18. Nursing job is making me sick ?

    Forest2 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that as an LPN the RN co-signs your orders and does the care planning bit. Not sure about your location, but that was one reason the agency where I was decided not to use LPN's and go with...

  19. Nursing job is making me sick ?

    Forest2 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    If you have the same patients routinely it makes it much easier. You may have to split up your 3 -12 hour shifts across the week if the agency allows. They may want you to do 4-10's. If vents and...

  20. Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

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

    Sounds like this doctor believed in euthanasia for dying patients who have had life-saving measures removed. Just because they weren't trying to save their lives doesn't mean you can murder them. I...

  22. Does the Doctor-Nurse Game Still Exist?

    Forest2 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What is my experience with the nurse/doctor game? I never knew it had a name for one thing. However, I have pretty much seen it all, from collaboration, to nurses and doctors becoming real friends,...

  23. Nursing job is making me sick ?

    Forest2 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I have been following this thread. Home care is really flexible. Depending on the agency you can schedule when you want to work, that is when you want to see your patients. There is a lot of...

  25. 61 With No Current Nursing Experience

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

    There is a local hospital here that states they will not consider applications unless all work history is listed. I wonder how they would know. Perhaps if they ask for graduation dates and then look...
