1. How do you handle manipulative/demanding patients?

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in Psychiatric

   vintagemother, I agree that psych nursing is very team oriented. You become protective of each other, and that is something I absolutely love about being a psych nurse. We all watch out for one another to keep the team safe. I'm not sure any other nu...

2. How do you handle manipulative/demanding patients?

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to reply! I feel like there is such a fine line between being firm and setting boundaries and the patient interpreting that the nurse's don't care. In fact, this was all part of a "riot" one night on the...

3. How do you handle manipulative/demanding patients?

   kimmyanne02 posted a topic in Psychiatric

   I am a new psych nurse (this is my first nursing job) and I'm having a hard time with what to say to patients with unrealistic requests. I just recently came off orientation, so I don't have my preceptor with me anymore when dealing with difficult pa...

   Well when I saw it, it WAS under students. I didn't know it WAS moved. I didn't think it WAS that big of a deal.

   Calm down.

   kimmyanne02 replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

   They way some people conduct themselves in these discussion forums is unacceptable. PROFESSIONALISM is a very important aspect of nursing and those making rude, condescending comments should be reminded of this. The question the OP is asking is relev...

7. Was my professor out of line?

   And neither is accusing me of blaming my family for doing bad on a test. Yes, I do get defensive when someone says something that is completely untrue about my family and I will stand up for myself. I guess it's okay for that person to "hurl insults ...

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

   What is wrong with you?! I am not blaming my family for anything! I did bad on a test, instructor called me in her office, asked what my priorities are, and I told her! I never said my family is the reason I did bad on a test! Never never never did I...

9. Was my professor out of line?

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

   I never said she was a horrible person in any of my posts. Not sure where you are getting that from. I asked if her comments were inappropriate. I guess it's difficult to convey the context of the conversation without actually being there yourself. H...

10. Was my professor out of line?

    kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Others do care about my priorities and my instructor cares which is why she asked. I don't agree that instructors will fail you without batting an eyelash. The instructors at my school care very much about the success of each student and want us all ...

    kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I understand what you are saying. It makes life easier to just say what they want to hear to avoid conflict. I just can't lie about my priorities when it comes to my family and their importance in my life. I just wanted to be honest with her. I do ap...

    She didn't say if the nursing program goes belly up. She said that in regards to my standing in the nursing program, in which case her comment makes complete sense and is good advice.

    Thank you brandiep1982. You are absolutely right. It is not helpful at all for someone to say that and it provides no meaningful contribution to this thread.

    Biscuit4445, Okay. Now it all makes sense. Your profile says pre-nursing student. You haven't the foggiest idea what you are even talking about, but you will soon understand the emotional tug-of-war that happens in nursing school. I am already a lice...

    Biscuit4445, I don't really understand why you told me to quit whining and get a life. Can you explain what exactly you mean? I'm not whining. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't this a place for nurses and nursing students to discuss issues and get advice an...
