1. Teaching and working primary job

   Heylove replied to Paris2017's topic in Educators

   I work weekend option and have been a clinical instructor one day per week for the last two semesters. In the fall I will have two clinical days per week, but added a L&D clinical for three weeks as well. It works out perfectly for my schedule.

2. New Clinical Instructor / advice

   Heylove replied to Mmincey's topic in Educators

   Will you be clinical instructing at the facility that you work? In my opinion, it is much easier that way so you know the staff and know your way around. When we are visitors at a different facility than where we work, it is challenging, but not im...

3. Nurse Educators, Introduce Yourselves!

   Heylove replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

   Hi there! I am a newer clinical instructor. I was a clinical instructor in fall 2019 for students in their psych rotation at the facility where I am a weekend option adolescent RN but I often float to adults, seniors and the ECT lab. I am in an MS...

   Walk away from that place with your head up high.

5. Violating Theraputic Bounderies as an RN?

   Heylove replied to peaceluvandnursing's topic in Psychiatric

   I am so sorry to hear your story. It sounds like one of my worst nightmares, and I don't have any answers for you. In our area of nursing, even with what I believed to be the protective factors of cameras and video recording -- some of our organiza...

6. Staffing Ratios

   Heylove replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Psychiatric

   Oh my goodness! Sign me up! I'm not bad mouthing my employer or our staffing, but your ratios are dreamy!

7. Suicide by chronic pain sufferers after opioids reduced

   Heylove replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I have trigeminal neuralgia and although I know that so many out there can suffer from way more pain than I ever endured, my TN is the most painful thing *I* ever experienced in my life. I will never forget the mentality of the ED staff, the choice ...

8. RN planning on going to law school

   Heylove replied to Jayestonilo's topic in Legal

   I was not called off the wait list for fall 2019, so I started an MSN program that is almost free with the employee sponsored tuition reimbursement and discounts. ?‍♀️It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it's a masters degree for about $1000.

9. Five Ways to Reignite Your Passion For Nursing

   Heylove replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   I would add one more suggestion, if it works for some. I started clinical instructing and my passion for nursing reignited as soon as I saw all the student nurses in my facility. I would be cautious if you're really burned out and not happy with nu...

10. It Can Happen to You: BON

    Heylove replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Career Support

    I have asked this same question. The short answer is...nobody. Not management, not a facility, not a union, not BON. The closest we have to someone looking after us is our coworkers thanks to the close bonds we have formed with them, and who actua...

11. moving from California to Kansas City

    Heylove replied to Katapillar3's topic in Missouri

    Where did you end up working? I moved to Missouri from Santa Clarita/Lancaster right after I graduated from nursing school in 2016. It was quite the shock!

12. What You Don't Know About Nursing Boards

    Heylove replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Career Support

    No kidding. Nobody warns us about this part of nursing in nursing school! I don't blame you for leaving nursing.

13. Just a vent... medical vs psych

    Heylove replied to Mandychelle79's topic in Psychiatric

    Why is this funny? It's true, no matter if the patient comes in a "psych patient" or not. Every patient deals with the psychiatric issues of becoming hospitalized, whether it's anxiety from being hospitalized and not able to be with their family, go...

14. Assault and Restraint in the Psychiatric Setting

    Heylove replied to Eliziel's topic in Psychiatric

    This is amazing. I am going through something similar but not exactly. I still have my job. I have no idea who to turn to for help as I am not part of a union, and since HR is the one that brought the action against me, it's not like I can go to t...

15. New Psych Nurse Advice

    Heylove replied to marsbar37's topic in Psychiatric

    You can also rely on coworkers for help. Sometimes particular staff members seem to upset a patient, so others step in to help de-escalate the patient. If you don't have helpful coworkers that do this, then I don't know what to tell you. My cowork...
