1. PMHNP and telepsych

   editingeyes posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I have a question regarding telepsych - with telepsych, can I, as the practitioner, be the one at the remote location? For example, my SO travels a little over 50% of the year for work and once I graduate I would love to join him. However...

2. WILTW 7/18: I'm tired :\ (complaint department and other things)

   Viva, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I am glad that hospice was able to help with his, and your, pain.

3. WILTW 7/18: I'm tired :\ (complaint department and other things)

   editingeyes replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   I have been doing psych and substance abuse for a few years now, but have only just now seen my first legit, bad case of DT's. This poor patient was on a medical floor first and they couldn't handle her so they sent her down to us. It has been severa...

4. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

   editingeyes replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   My provider has been out of town last week and this upcoming week, so I learned just how much I am able to accomplish when I am not interrupted every 15 minutes trying to get vitals, answer questions, etc. However, it also puts more pressure on me as...

   editingeyes replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

   Haha, I lived in Nashville for a while where eating Sonic ice was an every day thing for people. I have never seen people go to a "restaurant" and just ask for ice chips. It is like a cult thing down there! I'm glad you figured it out too! Probably s...

   editingeyes replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

   I learned this week that when you have iron deficiency anemia, you can crave ice chips. I had a detox patient ask me to get her level tested and when I asked her why she thought it was off she stated that she has been craving ice chips lately. For he...

7. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

   editingeyes replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

   I read these every week (and love them!) and finally decided to join the conversations :) I learned that when Medicaid insurance changes in your state it wreaks havoc for patients and staff alike. I have argued more with insurance companies in the la...

8. How do you get to Blue from the mobile app?

   editingeyes replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   I'm so sorry to hear.

9. Taking a pay cut to go to day shift?

   editingeyes replied to tobydog01's topic in General Nursing

   I did essentially the same thing - went from working 3 12hr night shifts, EOW/H, etc to a Mon-Thur 10 hour a day job. No weekends, no holidays, no call. I took a $5/hour pay cut. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty rough on the wallet at first, but I j...

12. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    editingeyes replied to fangirl's topic in Relations

    Just yesterday my patient told me multiple times all the reasons I was going to hell. For one, he knows that I am fornicating and that is a sin (I live and work in a small town - he says he saw my boyfriend and I at a store holding hands, so obviousl...

13. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    editingeyes replied to fangirl's topic in Relations

    (disclaimer - I work psych, so I get insulted every day pretty much). Just today a dad of a patient got upset that I wouldn't refill his kid's meds because she hadn't shown up for her last 6 appointments (she is underage so it is his responsibility) ...

    editingeyes replied to Christy1019's topic in General Nursing

    I did the same thing as a previous poster - in 8th grade science, students all had to read paragraphs from the book and my paragraphs had the word "organism" in it. Dang if I didn't say "orgasm". I kid you not, my teacher went through the rest of the...

15. Hilarious Conversation with a Patient

    editingeyes replied to NurseyNursington's topic in New Nurse

    I work psych so I hear interesting things every time I work. I had one patient who came out of his room with his socks falling off his feet - me: "XX, your socks are falling off, do you need help?" pt (completely deadpan): "You make me stiff". My cow...
