   BulkyMonster posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Can anyone recommend a good resource about therapeutic approaches to children with RAD? I'm dealing with both types, primarily uninhibited, in a new job as a psychiatric nurse. I love my job so far,...

   Well, glad to know my little rant was helpful, I suppose

3. Active Duty Assignment

   BulkyMonster replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

   I didn't like the structure. I didn't like that my time was not my own. The snobbiness of officers (not all, but in general) bothered me. Also, the vapid patriotism... you weren't allowed to say...

   Thanks. I am hearing a bit about this from the other people at the firm but I get the feeling they're just wanting me to concentrate on doing the client screening for now until I have a firm grip on...

   I'll try to answer any questions as well as I can, but bear in mind I'm just a newbie

6. pros and cons of nurse paralegal jobs

   BulkyMonster replied to BulkyMonster's topic in Legal

   Like I said, I just look on the internet to begin with... you start learning little bits and pieces and often it's a clue to go on to the next thing. If it's really and truly beyond your ability to...

7. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

   BulkyMonster replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

   To some extent, you're right. People should try and be pleasant and professional when at work, even if they do hate it. It's part of personal integrity. But venting on a forum is totally different....

   BulkyMonster replied to BulkyMonster's topic in Legal

   Where I work, we mainly rely on the internet and journal articles. UptoDate medical database, RXlist, and emedicine are frequent first stops of mine when I'm researching. Even wikipedia can help if...

9. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

   BulkyMonster replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

   Here we go again with the judgmental attitude. Just because someone's unhappy doesn't mean they're letting it affect their behavior towards patients. We're here to discuss our perceptions and...

10. Active Duty Assignment

    BulkyMonster replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

    Not really. You get to tell them where you'd LIKE to go, and they try those places first, but if they don't have a placement for you in your choice station, you could end up anywhere. Of course, there...

11. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    BulkyMonster replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a bit of a late reply, but I agree. I did care about my patients. I tried hard to do my best. And I tried REALLY very hard to think positively. But it was horrible for me. I couldn't deal...

12. pros and cons of nurse paralegal jobs

    BulkyMonster replied to BulkyMonster's topic in Legal

    It's something I'm learning as I go. There's another nurse paralegal there who is giving me much appreciated guidance, without which I'd have really struggled. I told the attorney I'd be willing to...

    BulkyMonster replied to BulkyMonster's topic in Legal

    Thank you! I just get a little uneasy because I was only able to get a few years' clinical experience, and none of it in ICU or critical care. On top of that, it was military nursing, which I find a...

14. pros and cons of nurse paralegal jobs

    BulkyMonster posted a topic in Legal

    I just started working a few weeks ago as a nurse paralegal - so far, I like it, although there are days when I just feel completely dumb when confronted with some of the attorneys' questions (I'm...

15. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    BulkyMonster replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Exactly... that's why I just quit my job yesterday. I was having trouble in a new position, terrible disorganization, understaffing, bad equipment, too many patients and too little orientation. The...
