1. Successful in nursing after a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in Disabilities

   7 years later, I'm still not a nurse and it's okay. I obtained my nurse assistant certification in 2013 and have been in that role since. I honestly prefer working in a hospital over longterm care or traveling. Averaging every other year, I've attemp...

2. Lying in a pt medical record

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in General Nursing

   What's concerning is that the patient's story correlated with the police report and witness statements and the medical record goes completely against those. Regardless, I thought that blatantly lying on a patient's medical record had consequences. It...

3. Lying in a pt medical record

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in General Nursing

   That is scary, "if it happened, it happened the way I chatted it." What if there is proof, via police report and witness statement, that part of the medical records is false? I thought that lying within a medical record has major consequences for the...

4. Lying in a pt medical record

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in General Nursing

   Hypothetically. A patient comes in, willingly, via ambulance due to suicidal thoughts/attempt. Patient is a parent to a toddler and adamantly states child was nowhere near them at the time of attempt, while explaining what had transpired. It is chart...

   Why would a nurse [or medical professional] purposefully lie in a patient's medical record?

6. Successful in nursing after a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in Disabilities

   I would think they do, as the poster I see them. So, I believe that anyone can, even non-site members. I do appreciate the responses, it gives me a lot to think about. I'm doing much better than when I first posted, so I'm thinking that achieving thi...

7. Successful in nursing after a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in Disabilities

   Thank you, I haven't heard anything else about nursing and TBI recovery so that is very helpful. The only other thing I heard was a nurse at the local hospital had a TBI and is recovering and she is doing very well. That's a shame though, to encounte...

8. Advice: how to make the most out of your day in HH?

   jds87 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

   I think it depends on how many patients you have and the amount of free time before, after and between them. Depending on how you schedule out your day, you can care for your patients and whatever left over time there is, you can judge what extra act...

   jds87 replied to jds87's topic in Disabilities

   I hope that she's doing well, that must have been difficult for her. Thank you, I've been working hard and my son is really a motivating factor. Hopefully things will go well from here on out. :)

10. Successful in nursing after a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

    jds87 posted a topic in Disabilities

    I haven't found any posts about nurses who have suffered a TBI and continued on successful with nursing. There aren't any, in fact. The only one's I have found pertaining to TBI, are about patients. Hopefully some of you may be able to help me? I was...

11. Anyone ever tell you, you would never be able to become a nurse? Proved them wrong?!

    jds87 replied to taraer1206's topic in General Nursing

    I have a recent TBI and when I did a search for TBI posts on this site, I found this. I'm truly amazed by all of the nurses here and inspired by the nurse who worked hard through nursing classes with a TBI. I'm excited now, thank you for posting this...

12. The nurses every co-worker hates

    jds87 replied to RNGriffin's topic in Relations

    I'm not a nurse, not even a student yet, I have to wait before applying for classes. Anyway, in general about socializing with others: I've noticed that most people get offended by blatant honesty. Just because people get offended (or are put of) by ...
