The nurse is 50 something and still a pea brain

ok. i can not believe there are so many dull people around: 1- when did i say i handed the roster over? the nurse took it and withheld it. 2- you "forgot" to spell out op. what does that mean? 3- asserting oneself is getting loose? hello? 4- the nurse should be strongly disciplined for creating a crooked work environment. 5- it was very convenient that the nurse abused me because she thought i was going to eat her abuse while very stressed out; however she was wrong.

Still that someone would be a crook for not following policies

I don't play a victim. I am a victim of abuse. I don't feel abused. I am abused and biased against. I learned a lot from this experience. I learned THAT DON'T TO BE SCARED AND CONFRONT THE ABUSER IS TERRIFIC. This nurse will think twice before abusing anyone else.

a nurse with abuse issues ranks at the bottom to the totem pole

I am not angry. I am very happy that I reported a crook to HR.

I am not a nurse. But work with tons of them and there are great, good and bad ones. I am going to close my account, I am very discoraged with the so many closed minds and many silly reasons given, etc.

Exactly. Assault of myself by the nurse.

Calling the police that doesn't make the caller better or just. Hello? How many crooks call the police?

Hello there, The lady in question does not have Alzheimer's or any other mental impairment.

I am only one that is i should be abused

I also would have fired you for being bias. In the professional world we are still human beings. You should know better.

Abuse.

Hi, I am a clerk in a public hospital. I am the one who keeps the roster prepare the scheduling of nursing staff for in service classes and mandatory classes. Our policy is that anyone who needs it has to make a copy of it. A nurse educator took my roster and refused to give it back to me for 3 days. In the meantime I had to accomplish a deadline by using the roster. This nurse knows that sometimes I can have a bad temper due to emotional conditions (take medicine for that). I asked for the roster to make a copy of it for myselt. She refused to give it to me again. We had an argument over this and I get upset and she even had the nerve to call hospital police as if I was the one at fault. Hospital police and my immediate supervisor supported her because of her status of Nurse Educator. Does this constitutes professional misconduct? Please let me know what you think. I was very aggravated by the presence of hospital police to watch me. I appreciate your comments/suggestions. Because I am clerk I should be abused? Thank you.

Hi Chaya, Talking from my own experience I would like to add to the "unready patient" or "unwilling patient" the "unable patient". No approach is carved in stone... there is always room from improvement

Great. I would like to add that listening and support are vital. When I say vital I mean life or death.

Please don't worry about what "traditional" nurses think. They are not as well informed as you are. Some of them give in-services on Pychiatric issues but don't even undertand a psychiatric patient and can be abusive. I work with 8 nurse instructors. Several of them don't do what they preach. Please be a good Pychiatric nurse. Not like the one that visited me from the so called visiting nurses of NY, when I had an episode of anxiety and depression. She presented herselp as a Psychiatric nurse ( big deal, I am not even impressed with any medical title now adays - I am impressed with the real professional and ethical person), had an aura of Diva, asked me about my clinical story (which I am very nervous to repeat; I rather forget) wrote non-stop (to comply and make her money), asked very seriously and careless if I had meds and left. Never gave me support or assure me1 that I was going to be OK wich is a very important thing a psych pt wants to hear, since oneself can even think right. Please be a real Psychiatric nurse. Not unreal nurse like the many I deal with in a daily basis which you called "traditional". Thanks.
