  1. Nurses: we do seduce our patients

    Mr Ian replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    The survey's findings suggest a significant proportion of Britain's 400,000 nurses are prepared to run the risk of sanctions for sleeping with patients. Almost one in 10 nurses think starting a...

  2. Hippa

    Mr Ian replied to KatieBird's topic in General Nursing

    She's your friend. Why don't you ask her? Then you have consent and covered either

  3. interview for psychiatric assistant on monday

    Mr Ian replied to Fatima41200's topic in Psychiatric

    Fatima, my first reponse to you was unnecessarily abrupt and rude. I

  4. Working with pca's

    Mr Ian replied to ceridwyn's topic in International Nursing

    I can only agree with the others on the issues of those who think they know vs. those trained and paid to know. I'm no knocking PCAs - worth their weight in gold and places grind to a halt without...

  5. interview for psychiatric assistant on monday

    Mr Ian replied to Fatima41200's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes indeed Baxtersmom - it was mean spirited - and I don't mean to pick on Fatima at all - but - an interview tomorrow? a - I would hope anyone interviewing for a specialist job like this would have...

  6. Munchausen's or psudoseizures??

    Mr Ian replied to RN_2_B_2006's topic in Psychiatric

    When I started reading your post Bennet91 I began to think that perhaps you were seeing what's called an 'absence' or used to be "petit mal" and then a full blown seizure. Absences are types of...

  7. interview for psychiatric assistant on monday

    Mr Ian replied to Fatima41200's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes I have a tip. Plan ahead more. Good luck

  8. aged care in australia

    Mr Ian replied to mrscat's topic in International Nursing

    yeah there was an old UK joke to denigrate some UK towns that were not much to look at - like "I drove to Rhyl last week - but it was shut" - that's quite literal in non metropolitan areas of Oz - so...

  9. Seeing mental illness everywhere

    Mr Ian replied to Jules A's topic in Psychiatric

    Well the jury is still out on the brain disorder theorem - and will be for a long time. It's agreed that neurochemicals fire off with significant deviation from the norm - but there's still the...

  10. Clozaril and hypersalivation

    Mr Ian replied to debi49's topic in Psychiatric

    I guess it works - but it's like everything psychopharmacology - hit or miss. I don't know how bad they were before they started it but some say it was

  11. Clozaril and hypersalivation

    Mr Ian replied to debi49's topic in Psychiatric

    Have you tried "Kwells" (Trade) - [Generic - hyoscine hydrobromide] http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001438.html Not used that often but has been known to bring some success. Similarly -...

  12. Teaching psych, what is most important/valuable?

    Mr Ian replied to ruralnurs's topic in Psychiatric

    I'd move away from the disorders - it's too 'medical model' and that's where psych nursing lets itself down. I'd focus more on 'rapport' and some of the softer science things like empathy, awareness,...

  13. So, would you or wouldn't you (brand new nurse on unit...)

    Mr Ian replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Psychiatric

    Pah~ this is psych nursing - I'd take in a tin of cookies - but only crumbs and say you ate them on the way to

  14. School presentation on Psych Nursing - HELP!

    Mr Ian replied to MSN Student's topic in Psychiatric

    Some thoughts that might be of help I hope... Kids/young adults that age aren't so interested in taking care of themselves - they're into a bit of risk and don't feel susceptible to anything -...

  15. Clinical Supervision

    Mr Ian replied to maxthecat's topic in Psychiatric

    Oz. That supervision 10 years ago sounds more like Practice Supervision - purposefully to blend you into the role - usually called

  16. Rates of pay. Guidelines or law?

    Mr Ian replied to 5kilocat's topic in International Nursing

    Your contract is with Geneva - if they've sent you a letter stating they will pay you 2.9 then that's your contract. The placement is not relevant. Of course when you challenge GH they'll say it's the...

  17. Clinical Supervision

    Mr Ian replied to maxthecat's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes, Whispera. There's a clear time when dangerous or illegal behaviour has to be reported. Supervisers are not exempt from accountability on the confidentiality clause and they always remain...

  18. First day coming up, really nervous.

    Mr Ian replied to lizzlebizzle's topic in Psychiatric

    Not exactly my first day - but I went for a look around the unit I got my first job in before I started - Forensic Medium-Secure - and I'd never worked a locked ward before. The CN left me stood on...

  19. Clinical Supervision

    Mr Ian replied to maxthecat's topic in Psychiatric

    Just took a new post as team manager (small team) - and one of the first things I did was make sure they all had a CS. I have to correct StuPer's otherwise agreeable CS model on just one issue -...

  20. role of charge nurse

    Mr Ian replied to midwest40's topic in Nurse Management

    Just as a general guide on how I worked as a CN - it has a lot to do with the relationship you have with your senior and junior staff. CN is a pivotal role in turning theory/policy into...

  21. Moving to Brisbane

    Mr Ian replied to shugs's topic in International Nursing

    I stayed a couple months in Redcliffe - a small peninsular area 45/60mins north of Brissy - far enough out of it to be quiet suburbia - but easy accessible by multi-means - trains are good from...
