  2. 12-Step Coercion

    MoJoeRN,C replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you found the same kind of AA that worked for me. And you said it very well. Denial is not something one does in a conscious state, it is part of the protection of self, based on beliefs...

  4. 12-Step Coercion

    MoJoeRN,C replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Amen. I've noticed some "mandated" per judge attendees at 12 step meetings. These have had to have papers signed by the chair person of a set number of 12 step meetings a week. We have several...

    MoJoeRN,C replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    Reading the responses to this thread have been very interesting. I have seen a wide array of responses from "putting your self in the patients shoes" to "not me, and not being exposed to the...

  9. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    MoJoeRN,C replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    We were allowed to pick a classmate we felt comfortable with and to wear bathing suit/trunks. It does give you an idea of how the patient feels. Also it is important that one is able to demonstrate...

    MoJoeRN,C replied to nursesherry's topic in General Nursing

    There's something to be said for wearing uniforms and caps. Only RNs could wear black stripes, LPNs blue or another color. CNAs no stripes. If they wore a cap with stripes, it constituted passing...

    MoJoeRN,C replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    MoJoeRN,C posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi Eric, In the same amount of time you are getting your assoc. degree in business, you could get your assoc. degree in nursing and become an RN. Then you could go to work in a psychiatric facility...

  19. Should nursing charges be separate from the room charges?

    MoJoeRN,C replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing
