I am relatively new here but from what I have read so far I like this site. However, I see a lack of support from one nurse to another. In the hospital the doctors are bad enough to work with but when you have no support from other nurses it can make a job you might have onced love pure he^%. Do any of you feel there is a lack of support from other nurses and if so what kind of problems do you think this causes? any suggestions for solutions? Your input would be appreciated.

I totally agree. Borderlines will suck you dry and reek havic if they are inpatient too long. I worked in a MICA unit and many of our clients were borderline. I learned to spot them the minute they came through the door. Unfotunately the MICA unit is a 28 day inpatient stay. We get them to sign a contract that they will seek out staff if they feel self abusive and/or suicidal. Does this help? sometimes... we also try not to focus on the self abusive behavior but rather redirect them. Ever have 13 female borderlines together for 28 days. Not Pretty!!

I have seen EMDR done on 10 clients and I have seen no real change or only short term improvment.

we have a Dr. Sosic (obgyn)and Dr. Soares (orthopedics)
