It looks like someone reported it, thanks Sun!

and to that, aaaamen Viva!

Thank you guys for your comments! My ICU experience was some time ago but it was so exciting and gratifying. :D I will never forget many of the patients, nurses, and situations ... some...

lol.. well my son had a very bad habit of coming up behind me or from behind a corner. I tried to warn him that I could literally die if he kept it up, but apparently he didn't care, the little...

Just FYI, I did decide a couple of months after this experience that I would not be helping with camp this coming year, and I feel really good about the decision. I will miss camp, and the kids...

Wow, Viva, that last bit about Bob's wife got me. THANK YOU for the article :) Really enjoyed it and well-written as always!

Nursing is a daunting task for many of us, even when we have time under our belt. Call bells, charting, phones ringing, family members needing time and reassurance, doctors returning calls; and...

Most of us, if not all, have had to take a course called 'spirituality in nursing' or some such. Our role is supposed to be supportive not evangelistic. It would also be good for us to know about...

THANK YOU for the time and effort you put into serious study of this disorder!

I have never heard it said BPD was not permanent, but I was dx w/ borderline way back and have since had that dx erased; it is good to know lol... now I'm "just" bipolar I was a little defensive...

"One's" is the key word ... and when the illness is stable isn't that a more reliable measurement? The more operative question is, how does a nurse examine one's behavior without being judgmental?...

Wish me luck, I'm so sorry about the direction your thread took - but I am very proud of you for sticking your neck out, and very thankful you did. I did have an initial dx of borderline after a...

I assume you are talking about "a" person who said they were a Christian, and not "all" Christians? I know there are nurses who do that, and it is not right, of course. Well said, and I agree!

Who are you talking to in this post?? sounds like you are talking about a very few exceptions, or you've been conversing with too many doctors who don't know jack about what we do.

It's funny because when it happens to me, *I* feel like the one who is supported. I'm sure they do too but I really feel blessed :)

Yep, I've always felt the same way. You have to be prompted by a notation on a calendar? Thank me, respect me, gee, isn't that what humans do? Don't give me a special day ...

With all due respect it sounds like multiple diagnoses, not just BPD. I am sorry for all you had to go through. :( Sounds like you were lucky to get out alive :(

what about walmart, don't they have $4. generics or something? aaaaamen. hard to believe at the time but you are right.

funny before I read this was hearing the song "Trust and Obey," (prompted by a pic of the tomb that says "A lot can happen in 3 days!" (for those who object, Marla is of like faith) - and it's true -...

a big deja vu for me, wow. Were you there when I tried to kill myself? ok different method but a lot of these details the same. Hope that things are much better for you. THANK YOU for outing...

PRAYING FOR YOU!!

Wow so glad to hear your story and that it is having a happy "beginning"!!! wOOt!

I think they have, now, thank you for the suggestion. I'd asked, before, but didn't really pursue it.

hear hear to all of the above!
