  1. How to cope with shame?

    MarkMyWords replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am shy talking about my deeper feelings also, mainly in front of strangers. Most people say they understand to be nice, but do not. So stay silent if you want to. People will remember what you say...

  2. Patients Filming You

    MarkMyWords replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    Seems audacious to me for patients or visitors to film anyone. It is so easy and sly with phones. I know that some nurses film themselves...on the internet, with the names blurred. I wouldn't...

  3. Full Moon

    MarkMyWords replied to Nuieve's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot prove the Moon has this effect and you cannot absolutely prove it doesn't, but the latter most likely is true. What is more likely, the Moon drives humans screwy or these are legendary...

  4. Is it illegal to date a patient's family member (parent)?

    MarkMyWords replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    Somewhere a nurse is dating a patient's mother but probably not where you work. If the dating breaks off unhappily, you have more to lose and she probably has nothing to lose So this is iffy, at...

  5. Taking things too personally

    MarkMyWords replied to Lostsoul123's topic in General Nursing

    Some people are naturally very obsessive worriers and it is very hard to change when it is part of who you are. A therapist might help you manage these thoughts with a pill, but that doesn't cure...

  7. Things nurse students complain about

    MarkMyWords posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    On another thread, nurses posted all the supposedly stupid complaints that patients express and your reactions. Well, nurse students complain a lot, too, especially in general education courses....

  8. Everyone's wearing scrubs...is this good?

    MarkMyWords replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

  9. How to Care for the "Difficult" Patient

    MarkMyWords replied to Vanessa Waits BC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Name some more manipulative actions. Are these examples opinion? What about patients who are choosy who assists with a procedure? Or picky about little

  10. Terminated for suspected diversion, PNAP now involved

    MarkMyWords replied to neuronurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Strange story to me There is more to this than the OP says I think. Is this the first time

  11. Nurses who act jealous toward patient

    MarkMyWords replied to Nurse One - Clinical N's topic in General Nursing

    What did the nurse say ? Why do you care? The nurse is also attracted to Dr? Attraction does not have to imply desire for sex you

  12. ChatGPT

    MarkMyWords replied to TEXASWAG's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Students who use this and ssimilar tools are cheating themselves of a learning experience. Happens everywhere I assume. I hope not in med or dental

  14. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    MarkMyWords replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    How can these nurses with fake degrees do the work? How would they know how anything operates? Unless they had taken nursing classes and never finished? And had experience with patients on...

  15. Changing male patient's brief

    MarkMyWords replied to JoMar's topic in General Nursing

    In a cystocomy procedure for men is it common practice to use an instrument or tool to apply the lidocaine or just your hand? That would make a difference in his reaction. Is this up to the

  16. Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

    MarkMyWords replied to intellica's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a misunderstanding over the word "leave". You might have said 'please move aside for a minute'. Females more than men are sensitive to tone of voice, in my non-medical life...

  17. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    MarkMyWords replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    A strange post and confession. People are too quick to label themselves and others without sufficient reasons. The OP would not be preferred for ICU and departments with life and death patients. In...

  18. Nurse Incivilities: Does it Start in Academia?

    MarkMyWords replied to jknaack's topic in General Nursing

    My post above needs clarity. I am just saying that we cannot expect no incivility in colleges when it is so common everywhere. But this does not justify incivility or make it okay. A higher standard...

    MarkMyWords replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  20. Nurse Incivilities: Does it Start in Academia?

    MarkMyWords replied to jknaack's topic in General Nursing

    Incivility to put it nicely occurs through all walks of life everywhere. Why should college or nursing school be any better? And what is called incivility differs widely. Professionals or nonprof....

  21. Wrong Department?

    MarkMyWords replied to NNF2015's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse but it looks like someone did not want you hired or taking this specific job and so is troubling you. I don't know the med procedure. Is there more to this situation than

  22. Is this discrimination?

    MarkMyWords replied to Jilly Beans's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you. ULTA and Sephora? LOL. You can do much better than retail work. At least an Applied Health business. As I remember Pittsburgh has numerous hospitals highly regarded plus the...

  23. This is really messed up, I know….

    MarkMyWords replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OP may have a challenge to find a highly qualified helpful therapist. Some may waste your time and money. Some do not know the right questions to ask you. Never settle for less than excellent therapy...

  24. Recs for board games for mental health unit

    MarkMyWords replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Nursing

    Games should be easy not complicated rules and short Chess can be long to finish. Scrabble? Old family games are fun and less competitive without animosity between players. Or card games like gin and...

  25. Which specialty - help

    MarkMyWords replied to jj16's topic in General Specialties

    Have you thought of ER in a busy department? Seems to me you would need quick decisions, critical thinking there. Or else a department that has patients with unusual diseases? My 2 cents
