  1. PS, Love the dog!
  2. Very, very common. I've seen prosecutors who refuse to charge a DV suspect because they say 90% of the survivors will just recant.
  3. Maybe, maybe not. "Unexplained" could just mean the pt doesn't want to disclose. But it's too far a leap to suspect DV based on STIs that don't have a known source.
  4. I know. I was actually going to say the same thing. But domestic violence reports are not black and white. If there are children in the home, that changes the duty.
  5. I'll also add that you must weigh your decision to report carefully. If your facility is not going to be involved any further than turning it over to LE and sending the patient home, you might be writing a death certificate the next day. Exiting the ...

  7. I'm late to the party, but pesticide exposure?

  13. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

    I worked for the county animal shelter. When people were bitten by mammals without a known vaccination history or wild mammals, I had to euthanize them, remove their heads, and prepare the head for transportation and examination by the Health Dept, s...
  14. Forcing patients to attend groups?

    I totally agree with you. And I think it is counter-intuitive to the truth that people must be ready for treatment and willing to go. On our part, that means being supportive and encouraging, but "forcing" patients breaks down relationships and trust...
  15. Any Tips For Assessment of Wiggly Kids?

    What hacks do you have for assessing kids who don't want to be assessed? We have orders for full assessment of all systems q shift of preteen with heart defects, gtube, trach, OCD, and undiagnosed developmental disabilities. These are long standing o...
