  1. What can I do about sister with hoarding OCD

    Mr Ian replied to meluhn's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm not convinced it's simply OCD. The indicators you gave: These indicate a more pervasive developmental disorder than a transient OCD. Is she also clumsy at all or have difficulty in doing...

  2. Myths About Criminals

    Mr Ian replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Psychiatric

    I posted in the other thread on ASPD and Psychopathy. I believe all behaviour is a choice. The defence of mentally ill people is that the psychoses gives them a false perception or information by...

  3. Question about Anti-Social Personality Disorder

    Mr Ian replied to MattiesMama's topic in Psychiatric

    I subscribe to the belief ASPD and psychopathy are not the same - tho may be on the same continuum - and without having a history it's not possible to determine which - tho I wouldn't be surprised if...

  4. New grads in the Psych ED

    Mr Ian replied to vjhappy's topic in Psychiatric

    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

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    okie diddley dokie... you've stumbled on another pet topic of mine... Messycation. The science in psychiatry is - "Give it a go - what's the worst can happen?" Of course there's some "worsers"...

  6. Report sheet

    Mr Ian replied to RN007's topic in Psychiatric

    Have used identical method and find it the best. The clinical notes are there for the verbose handover - the blurb (love the name - is that the ward name for it or yours?) - was vary scant note on...

  7. A little freaked out. Need advice.

    Mr Ian replied to phinur's topic in Psychiatric

    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...

  8. Counseling degree going to help my RN career?

    Mr Ian replied to Zookeeper44's topic in Psychiatric

    Prob not the grad year as, aside all your good experience, you've never been a newly qualified nurse. But after that .... I see big things

  9. Advice on difficult resident/vent - sorry for length!

    Mr Ian replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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. Advice on difficult resident/vent - sorry for length!

    Mr Ian replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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...

  11. Read the thread before you post!!!!!

    Mr Ian replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It annoys me when people quote entire posts

  12. Any samples of report sheets?

    Mr Ian replied to ddds's topic in Psychiatric

    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!!!!!

    Mr Ian replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  14. Advice on difficult resident/vent - sorry for length!

    Mr Ian replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So besides him being locked indoors and unable to go outside, has meals only at set meal times, being kept away from his wife and then being overdosed on opiate pain meds - we've no idea why he's...

  15. Deciding which orders can wait

    Mr Ian replied to 311ltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks. Irony. I would raise it with administration. Since they are saying no OT and only do what is strictly necessary - then I'd want in writing: 1. What is 'strictly' necessary? 2. That they...

  16. Deciding which orders can wait

    Mr Ian replied to 311ltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you can DTO the MMCs under a FI1AA then I don't see why they shouldn't PPHM the CUD. What's an

  17. Can mental illness be cured?

    Mr Ian replied to Meraki's topic in Psychiatric

    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?

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    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...

  19. adolescent psychiatry

    Mr Ian replied to wanna_be_brave_nurse's topic in Psychiatric

    It's not them.... it's you. We all have our preferences. I can no more tell you your preferences than you can tell me mine. But good

  20. nursing students and behavioral health units

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    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

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    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

  22. nursing students and behavioral health units

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    Why does he have to engage in the

  23. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    Mr Ian replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    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

  24. Oooh I could strangle the MD and NP!

    Mr Ian replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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!

    Mr Ian replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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...
