  1. Lexapro

    sashibeak replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

    I was on Lexapro for a year. It did wonders for me and I am back to my normal happy self now that I am off it too! The only side-effect that I did have was that my libido decreased dramatcially. But...

  2. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

    sashibeak replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Sheer brilliance! I absolutely agree that we would learn much more from case studies than trying to memorize a load of mumbo-jumbo. Let's face it, if you understand the concept you will understand how...

  3. Personnal lives or reckless?

    sashibeak replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you, girlfriend! Believe me, it is good to have something that excites you aside from nursing. My love is yoga......... I couldn't live without it. After the stress of school and nursing, it...

  4. Professional in scrubs?

    sashibeak replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I absolutely agree with you. Something smart, yet unstarched. I think scrubs can look too scruffy at times. Sorry, but some people don't take enough care of their appearance, and scrubs don't enhance...

  5. Bathing a 7 y/o

    sashibeak replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! You know this just goes to prove how differently we are all raised. I was always taught to shower/wash EVERY day....... full body wash in the morning and at least face and hands at night. Now I'm...

  6. Religion's Place in Nursing

    sashibeak replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very eloquently put, Rita. I consider myself Neo-Buddhist, but I have nothing but respect for all religions. I have wonderful friends who send me emails worshipping God and Jesus, and I love to read...

  7. How many nurses do their own vitals???

    sashibeak replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

  9. Consequences of Bad Choices

    sashibeak replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely keep a close eye. What can it hurt? Better to be safe than sorry, particularly if the patient is unable to answer for himself right now. He is, after all, the number one priority...

  14. I hate it when people say this...

    sashibeak replied to Shotzie's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle I don't think people mean to say hurtful or dumb things.......... they just don't think before opening their mouths! I don't worry too much about what other people say. Those that I love and...

    sashibeak replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi Cathy, I understand your concerns, I really do, and so I am going to answer your question. No, I would not mind being treated by a transgender nurse, nor a gay nurse, nor black, yellow, white,...

    Great article!

  18. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    sashibeak replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    As nurses we are taught to be ethically and legally correct. We may empathize terribly with our clients, however, we are not God, nor should we ever cross that line. I read in the Orlando Sentinel...

  19. I'm hoping someone can help me

    sashibeak replied to Caribbeanfem's topic in General Nursing

  20. Here's One For Ya.......

    sashibeak replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    As we say in the UK, cover your orifice, Julie. You do NOT need to get in trouble for this. Your husband is absolutely right, and you should keep a note of everything that goes on. Is there someone...

  21. activities of daily living problem

    sashibeak replied to ManyQuestions's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, Many Questions? You must do what you feel is right for you. Nobody can tell you what to do, you must feel it in your gut. We can advise/flame you, but at the end of the day, this is...

  22. activities of daily living problem

    sashibeak replied to ManyQuestions's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Tweety, I'm afraid. If you can't deal with long-term care patients then why do you feel you would have patience anywhere else? ER can be depressing........... as when the 4 year-old...

    sashibeak replied to Catma63's topic in General Students

  24. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    sashibeak replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Hey Twintoo, I understand your concern. It's hard having several instructors all with different ideas. BUT, let me tell you this............... the instructor who pushes you, expects the very most of...

  25. Your definition of good clinical instructor and bad one

    sashibeak replied to Catma63's topic in General Students

    A good clinical instructor is one who is there for her students 100%. She supports them, and even though they may be fearful or insecure, enables them to achieve their goals. Encouragement, support,...
