  1. I Don't Want to Stick a Patient

    My first IM injection was on a patient in a state forensic psychiatric hospital when I was a psychiatric technician student. I was pretty nervous since the patient was being released from 4 point restraints and was due for his Haldol Dec shot. My fri...
  2. Help! Scared. Is this really happening?!

    Housekeeping.
  3. News Flash Everybody Farts!

    I was thinking of this thread at work today when my lactose intolerance was violated with yummy cheese and I was feeling the effects about the same time a patient on my locked psychiatric inpatient unit was trying to break out and we were blocking th...
  4. A lot of facilities are trying to get rid of using restraint and seclusion altogether. Voluntary seclusion is so much better than forced for everyone involved. It's not good for the patient and I hate all the paperwork involved.
  5. High amounts of flatulence in Psych

    I'm fairly immune to odors after so many years working psych but I do hear them roaring pretty often. I'm thinking that they just don't care and let them rip. Probably also a mixture of their diet and medications too.
  6. I would have to disagree with not reading up on their crimes. I was working at Atascadero State Hospital here in California and the story that I heard was that a patient once told a nurse that she reminded him of his daughter which sounds innocent en...
  7. News Flash Everybody Farts!

    Am I the only one that just blames it on the patients?
  8. I met my wife at work which was very uncomfortable after she divorced me less than a year later. It was uncomfortable for me to see her be reminded of our good times and our bad. It was uncomfortable for coworkers that were friends with both of us. I...
  9. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    I think it's humorous or maybe just sad that people are so afraid of a concealed carrier accidentally shooting someone yet we rarely hear about such a thing happening in the news. There's already millions of permits out there in the United States but...
  10. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    I have no problem rendering first aid to whomever I shoot in self defense. Hehe.
  11. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    It might be wise for you to remember that when the Constitution was written a musket would have been the equivalent to an assault weapon at the time. That's fine if you wish to point out that the NRA is a shill for the gun industry. Bloomberg is a sh...
  12. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    Yes, you're ignorant to think that it's us in the nursing field or law abiding citizens that are the problem. I have many firearms and I have owned some for almost 20 years and they have never hurt anybody. Maybe we should all put are vehicles away a...
  13. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    I'm a gun nut because they interest me. For what it's worth I'm a book nut and a computer nut too. I never said that it makes me feel powerful to carry a gun and I hope to never have to use it. Same as I hope to never have to use my seatbelt or malpr...
  14. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    I'm a "gun nut" but I wouldn't want everyone I work with packing one. I think that it should be allowed if there is specific training involved and not just handed out to anyone that applies. I carry a concealed handgun when I'm not at work (I work in...
  15. Past patient relationship

    If I had a dollar for every time I did something stupid and later regretted it I'd be driving the same kinda cars as my doctors right now. Mistakes are going to happen and that's going to be part of the learning process. The fact that you recognize t...
