  4. New grads in the Psych ED

    Anywhere is a learning experience. Depends on how well the places are set up and what support you've got that makes the difference. If it's a rancid Psych ED - don't go there. Same as a rancid...
  5. Trauma/PTSD, psychosis, and antipsychotic drugs

  7. A little freaked out. Need advice.

    Firstly - I am appalled at the RN who was unable to recognise this for what it was. Secondly - I am shocked that the Instructor and other students then confront this man about the event. Everything is...

  9. Is going out for a walk a health care decision? It's not you - honestly, I don't mean to be hacking at ya.... but it's the system. An old man separated from his spouse while suffering debilitating...
  10. If the man is not allowed out and there are no lawful orders in place to detain him then he is being unlawfully detained. Nurses complain enough about not getting out on time. What about never getting...

  12. Any samples of report sheets?

    It would depend on the type of facility you're in. short - medium or long term acute or
  13. Read the thread before you post!!!!!

    Another thing I hate is cross-posting where someone raises a point and then someone else comes in and steals the thread by posting about something different. Does anyone else hate cross-posting in...

  17. Can mental illness be cured?

    Can mental illness be cured? is the same as asking Can physical illness be cured? Perhaps it's as much to recognise that some people will continue to have mental health issues for the remainder of...
  18. slow med pass? am I really being unreasonable?

    If there was a game on TV we all wanted to watch I've knocked out a 20 pt pass in about 15 minutes. The patients had to help out a lot - like shout out what they were on and I'd not have to keep...

  20. nursing students and behavioral health units

    Nice answer. Interventions to re-establish functioning should be least restrictive and person-centered. So to SweetLemon - If staff are removing the focus of his delusional behaviour (ie turning off...
  21. nursing students and behavioral health units

    In short.. and in long... he doesn't. So involved with his psychosis is indeed unusual. If he was so involved with his muscle car or his Xbox - would he warrant the same

  23. I love this debate. It's so emotional. And it's a fair game cause to rib the medicos. Have we got to the part where hospital clergy are also sometimes called Doctor

    Ahh.. ok. Makes things clearer. I'm a long time being away from elderly care. Sounds
  25. Oooh I could strangle the MD and NP!

    Considering the woman died within 24 hours - I'm not sure why a hospice move was required? I also agree with CapeCod - that if she were to go to hopice care then she should have been moved long time...
