    Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I don't agree with any of this looney nonsense either from the right, left, Islam, the born again lunatics or what-the-heck ever. However, unless this person who was watching the video...

    Emergency Nurses More Pro-Police?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Yeah we unfortunately run into the police bring people in for admission to our behavioral health unit based on the assumption that every criminal must have a mental health issue that needs treated....

    What exactly would you tell them? That a family member was watching a video readily available on public TV? What would they do with that

    What happens when you decide not to move forward with IPN's recommendations?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    MFT, I say all the time that any nurse facing this nonsense must be totally committed to saving their career for whatever reason and it has to be worth it. In my opinion these programs aren't here to...

    Trying to understand

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here in Pennsylvania if you self report and do what they tell you to do for the period of time you are sentenced to the asinine stay in Nazi Monitoring Land you are considered to be part of the...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Getting charged in multiple states?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    YEP!!! Before all this whirlwind of poop I strongly identified myself as a nurse. It wasn't just what I did it was part of who I was. No more and never again. Its a paycheck every two weeks now....

    Emergency Nurses More Pro-Police?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Don't get me wrong to the vast majority of the time I have a great working relationship with the police. I work at a federal facility and we actually have our own commissioned officers on-site. I've...

    Life from the other side (I left nursing.)

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to LPNRN2000's topic in General Nursing

    I like my job but I'm not one of those nurses who let what I do define me as a person. The back-biting etc used to bother me but honestly I just decided that was part of the gig and I learned to...

    Emergency Nurses More Pro-Police?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I'm and ER nurse and have mixed feelings about our local police. I think they have a tough job and god knows I wouldn't want it. However, I've had more than my fair share of conflict with them....

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Advice ASAP!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They don't care if you were being targeted. Believe me throw all notions of fairness and justice out the window. However, its your right to make your case to the board. Good

    Advice ASAP!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In monitoring land an unsubstantiated allegation is enough to buy a ticket in. They don't need proof so if you are thinking that please rid yourself of that fantasy. In your case you refused a pee...

    Feelings of an extremely burnt out nurse

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to HayRayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I could less if my patients like or appreciate me. I don't look to them for any sort of affirmation of doing a good job. I look at nursing like a job. Its a job that I've become good at and get...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    Yep at the ER I work at the bosses and the super-geniuses who do studies always seem to come up with something extra for busy ER Nurses to do. At one point they were putting up chore lists which were...

    I'm having a quarter life crisis. BSN graduate with no idea what to do.

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NNurseLina's topic in General Nursing

    You do not need a 4.0 GPA to get into NP school. I'm about to graduate and had almost a 4.0 from my undergrad but that is NOT the case for all my classmates. NP schools are businesses and they want...

    My client's Christian parents figure out that I'm Christian

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    People "figure out" that I'm a Christian all the time. I'm not. However, the experience is not about me and I almost never have corrected them. If it gives them comfort they can attach any label...
