I would never do that to a real friend. I doubt any one likes games and I doubt that she is playing games. Something is really wrong here. Maybe a support group of some sort. You can always give her the suicide hotline number without giving up the fr...

I was refering to her job, housing and general respect. The breakdown was major depression.

wow I hope there really is help for this person. The state I am in wouldn't help this person they would make the problem worse. There just isn't always money available, so they pick and choose who they help. But, I would rather believe that it's her ...

I wish every one would do this before they jump the gun. I've had nurses write in the chart with my name that a med was given 2 hours late when in fact it was given 2 hours late because this same nurse didn't give her ABT at all so after consulting w...

I have been in nursing a long time and have seen a lot. I agree these people do lead a chaotic life and I just don't think adding more confusion or putting more demands on them will help. I have seen people given the DX of BPD when in fact they had P...

I can't believe that this hasn't been taught in a clinical setting. If you are already working why wouldn't you have some one show you. I would neber do anything I wasn't sure of.

3 months wow, I had 6 weeks and in that 6 weeks was already caring for 6-8 pts just asking questions when I needed.

I am interested in all forms of nursing. I just haven't been able to specialize or develop an interest in any one particular speacialty at this time. I know many people who have been affected by the mental health sytem, good and bad. Never said I did...

not an actual med error if med was given, more like a charting error. some places actually have forms for this. can cause problems when state comes in.

originally this post was looking for alternate treatments for bpd. and I have seen doctors and nurses give unwarrented labels to many patients to drum up business. But I will leave this alone as I do not want to get into a confrontation. oops my mist...

I don't know why you disagree. I just believe that we have a tendency to label people and force treatments on them at any cost. Borderline Personality Disorder is a very old Dx. and one that I feel maybe over rated. I have also seen diagnosis given a...

Actually they did a study many years ago and found the hats to be extremely contaminated with all kinds of bacteria. We usually wash our hair every day but the caps didn't get cleaned there fore a high means of transporting these little bugs to pts.a...

I got interested after spending many months hospitalised . I just got the bug Ha Ha

I would definitely call the MD and get perimeters for holding it. Some other questions would be How long has pt. been on med? How often has the B/P been low? Is there anything else in his tx. that can be causing this? How low is the B/P?

I just had to respond to this one. If you look at the S&S of Borderline Personality Disorder I honestly think most of us would fit the Dx. There is no treatment other than trying to force people into your mold. We all come from certain background...

I have lived in a few states in my life, Wisconsin is different, you either fit in or you don't.
