1. Depression/anxiety

   Yorker replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the previous post, see a Psychiatrist , they are specialized for this . I wouldn't go to a PCP. Also, they can recommend you a good psychotherapist. It has benefitted lot of people but some not. Psychiatrist may start you on SSRI or some...

3. Hand off

   Yorker replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

   First things first, when we are nervous we tend to forget even the things that we know, take a deep breath before you start report. As much as I want to ask you which questions do you get stumbled on??? but I don't want to get personal. Maybe there ...

4. Hand off

   Yorker replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

   It is hard for everyone in the beginning, don't panic and don't be harsh on yourself. Although everything is on SBAR I still like to write stuff down in that way its repeated twice, one while seeing on the EMR and second in my report. When I started ...

5. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

   Yorker replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality

   I do get the point of the people for this article and who are not for it too. I have read various articles from the OP and as per my understanding she has a really good spiritual sense (gift of Holy Spirit), not everyone has it.So, she is able to dis...

6. Anyone disliked ICU?

   Yorker replied to RNbubu's topic in Critical

   I had almost the same situation where I worked on tele on a day shift and moved to ICU and got a night shift. But this was my choice and I moved to ICU because I always wanted to work in critical care. Likeness to an unit depends on: :What is the rea...

7. Hand Massages

   Yorker replied to saraaileen76's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! Tomorrow the management will come up different type of massages. If they are so keen on that maybe they should hire someone so that the quality and quantity is not compromised. We have given massages to our patients when we had little free time ...

8. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

   Yorker replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

   Your intention was not wrong at all, you just wanted her to do her job but it was her actions that got her fired. the only wrong thing is that you took her picture without her permission and that's a no no, wherever it may be.

   How are you so sure that a list like this does not exist????? This is not a published list that everyone can just come and see , come on now. Thanks for the thought of the day.

10. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Yorker replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but there is no general blacklist for all prospective hiring managers to see. Again the purpose isn't to prevent a nurse from getting a job elsewhere it's to prevent a company accidentally re-hi...

11. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Yorker replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie, I agree don't rehire the nurse/ employee back again, that's fine. But why do they have to blacklist the nurses so that they cannot find a job anywhere else. Don't u think BON should be the mothership to find out if there is any disciplinary a...

12. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Yorker replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Its very easy to say that there are interventions to keep the pt. safe then why didn't u use it, sounds like someone from management. To throw more light , there was only one more staff nurse with me who had two vented pts completely on two different...

13. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Yorker replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for pointing the quote button out. It becomes evil when they start misusing this power. They start deeming nurses not eligible just because they had hurt their ego. All right, even if they do that but don't blacklist them so that they cannot f...

    Yorker replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality

    When I started as RN I was very upset about the same situation as I had to miss Sunday worship.I understand that you are a choir member and teacher so it must be very hard for you. As some of the members already advised you, once you get settled try ...
