   sashibeak replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

   I was on Lexapro for a year. It did wonders for me and I am back to my normal happy self now that I am off it too! The only side-effect that I did have was that my libido decreased dramatcially. But it is back to normal now.

2. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

   sashibeak replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

   Sheer brilliance! I absolutely agree that we would learn much more from case studies than trying to memorize a load of mumbo-jumbo. Let's face it, if you understand the concept you will understand how to put it into practise!

3. Personnal lives or reckless?

   sashibeak replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

   Good for you, girlfriend! Believe me, it is good to have something that excites you aside from nursing. My love is yoga......... I couldn't live without it. After the stress of school and nursing, it is wonderful to be able to lose yourself in someth...

4. Professional in scrubs?

   sashibeak replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

   I absolutely agree with you. Something smart, yet unstarched. I think scrubs can look too scruffy at times. Sorry, but some people don't take enough care of their appearance, and scrubs don't enhance that. I am not saying that we are all tatty-lookin...

5. Bathing a 7 y/o

   sashibeak replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! You know this just goes to prove how differently we are all raised. I was always taught to shower/wash EVERY day....... full body wash in the morning and at least face and hands at night. Now I'm "grown-up" I am a clean-freak and need to shower/...

6. Religion's Place in Nursing

   sashibeak replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

   Very eloquently put, Rita. I consider myself Neo-Buddhist, but I have nothing but respect for all religions. I have wonderful friends who send me emails worshipping God and Jesus, and I love to read them, because they convey how I feel about my spiri...

    You've got them in every class, girl! I know it can be annoying, but just suck it up and concentrate on you. You don't have time to be wasting your energy on others that get up your nose.

11. Consequences of Bad Choices

12. Consequences of Bad Choices

    sashibeak replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely keep a close eye. What can it hurt? Better to be safe than sorry, particularly if the patient is unable to answer for himself right now. He is, after all, the number one priority here, and he tried to commit suicide......... I woul...
