*HELP* being accused of gross negligence
I am a new nurse who is not working now. I left my last hospital job after harrassment from administration. I was in front of the Director of Nursing and Human Resources. She (HR) casually diagnosed me with Parkinson's and suggested that I take smoke breaks if the shift gets too hard. I do not smoke and I do not have any signs or symptoms of Parkinson's. This is just sad to me. This is one of those funny jokes that hurts to laugh at right?! I moved to nursing in search of positive role models and a supportive environment. It makes me sad that behavior from leadership will ruin other potentially great nurses.

Would a previously nominal body-builder gain autologous b-12 if he/she reduces his/her calorie intake, given that the macronutrient profile remains relatively constant?

Concerning your statement about hunters, I duly administer genuine respect only to meat-eaters who hunt. It is so easy to get rid of evidence on a plate, but is it easy to put food on a plate? Meat-industry workers have a high risk of psychological damage and moral injury. Where is it my imperative to request others to fail in meeting their own survival needs? My upbringing was quite oppositional/contrasting to yours. I was expected to moan and gripe if fresh brie could not be found in the kitchen fridge. In lamentation, I share with you that these specially prepared and specially aged cheeses are connected to the advent of chromosomal abnormalities. My mind would not have to wander too far to suppose certain modern food inventions have bestowed upon us an opportunity of financial becoming.

Hello, I have no experience in Emergency Medicine and I am not sure if this is even an Emergency Medicine question, really. I know that the guidelines for rapid response are always "it all depends". But I am sure I am not sure why/when I would call a code for: Shortness of breath - if it does not resolve? (what about a patient who reported chest pain, but then it resolves? he has chronic CAD so is this an emergency?) Anxiety/agitation - only if it could result in eminent harm? Wet lungs - only if it is not being treated currently? "Urine Output <30ml/hr X 2 hours"- how come I am being laughed at? should I accept this, give up totally, or call the provider behind their back?

I do agree that people with extreme dietary ideologies might tend to have experienced an eating disorder at some point. But how do you treat someone with an eating disorder? (Our) society is built on niceties, rules, structure, and hierarchical dominance. Prudent therapy of ED patients considers the following: non-food and non-body activites/discussion will be prohibited from the meal environment and/or meal time, keeping in mind that eating disorders may be considered by some experts to be a form of obsessive reasoning. How do you think your cousin would respond if she found this blog thread. Does your cousin have paranoia or delusions related to her ED? How do the concepts of learned helplessness, percieved abandonment, and anxious attachment loop into the topic of a food and nutrition as part of the healing environment?

If it makes dollars, it makes sense. A dollar saved is a dollar earned. Wait... aren't most dialysis operated by a third party specifically because of cost issues? Am I making that up?

NCLEX Study Tips
I completed the Uworld question bank. I also liked Hurst a lot and recorded myself. By the way... the "NCLEX lady" is real!

Depressed/Lost
"Wash" yourself of that which does not serve you, is my advice. <I myself recently threw a full-blown temper tantrum. At home though and without using... many actual words. I think that sounded not that great! ?>. Why did you become a nurse? What is the point of being a nurse? S- prescription. O- observation. A- attitude/assignment. P- please, I know this can be so much better.

Disrespect & Profanity
I have not read the entire thread, however I would like to leave a remark on the sentiment of this thread. I myself rarely curse, although I have worked in "private duty" in home environments that cursing was either taboo or welcomed. If any one were to cater to my personal preference, I do not mind the actual "vulgar word", but actually the sentiment of cursing behind the speaker's tounge. P.S.! Only four days until Monday.

I hope you know that I was being snarkey when I said I would work be working at McDonald's soon. Thank you JKL33. I am really appreciative of the responses in general. I have copied and pasted a reply to a private message I recieved to demonstrate that your feedback is helping me shift my mindset: "I think [administration cares] about nurses sticking around only if they have the right attitude, and not having melt-downs over [and resurgent feelings from] a bad memory?!?!" (referring to my current job) "Administration's job is to attend to nursing/staffing needs. Nurses' job is to help the patient feel safe. Radiology does radiology and I know nothing about that."
