Psych nurse action figure ?

This may work. I take redirection well. I'm only a nurse.

I have A Personal History:

Was sent home from 7th grade with my Report Card bearing a notation BY THE PRINCIPAL: "Stars is making 'witty' comments in class."

And I chose the nickname in my HS yearbook that I was always hearing said by teachers: "Stars-Be-Quiet."

I didn't attend the meeting. If I'd known about it I would have attended.

I was written up when I floated to psych. I changed a dressing as ordered and documented appropriately.

But threw the old dressing and used gloves in the trash can in the patient's room. The patient decided to put a dirty glove in his mouth.

I need education and orientation before floating to your unit again.

I'm not just carping. To float me against my will and then write me up knocked me off my perch is the most enormous scale of idiocracy I've yet to sea.

Did you rock the boat and make waves about it?
I made up that story.

I think I catch your drift.

One registry shift i was sent to a Medical/surgical/mental health unit. I was given surgical patients. During report I was told not to leave anything in the room of a patient because he would try to eat anything. The care plan was to take a trash can into the room with all supplies for the dressing change and take everything out of the room.

The patient was a polite person who wanted to get better.

We need you Jacob Rockstar RN.

I'm sorry I missed the meeting about staying on topic.

Without your therapeutic interventions what will we all do?

ACT-SHOO-ALL-LEE, emtb2rn, the real Jacob Rockstar-RN and I were just talking about him getting into Upper Management.

Yeah. Right. Like that's going to Happen!

But what is going to happen is this Classic Track:

Can jacob provide some psych nursing intervention over at the "why don't you just read the chart thread"?

Much anger, projection and failure to empathize on display.

That's a very Barnes and Nobles sentiment, and, a worthwhile prescription for an intrusive personality. We need more introverts.

Some time ago, there was a thread on self-reporting med errors. It seems the OP had self-reported and was unfairly terminated as a result. Some others chimed in and relayed that they would not self-report. One Nurse went as far as to say that they would not self-report unless the error caused harm to the Patient.

I have had a lot of trouble getting my head around that.

I guess this may be one way in which the scenario would play out:

I think today the term for spouse is Life Partner!

I would love to see that self reporting thread, btw.

Oops as in... I don't know what I said! I think there was A Point I was getting at but I skipped a sentence, and now it's...whoosh, gone with the wind.

Am quite familiar with that occurring state of whatever it is!

My mother used to call it "hitting a slick spot" in her brain; Like you would find when you put your foot down, in your normal stride, that suddenly you have no traction, as if stepping on ice.....swizzzzzzzzzzz

Warning: Not Psych related:

I saw the Four Seasons at a supper club in Framingham,Mass in 1972, when 6 patients from the Spinal Cord unit at MGH were taken out for an evening by the Recreational Therapist and four nurses and orderlies (well, that's what they were called back then). It was fun, but it also was pretty weird.

"Dawn, go away, I'm no good for you!" (song of the night shift?)
