  1. yeah what angie said - tho I'm mental health so I'm always watching people - but that might have been me before nursing anyhow. Lots of the skills for nursing can be adapted to every day life -...
  2. I may not graduate in 2 months.

    Mr Ian is verty
  3. Just wondered ... has anyone mentioned that a physician's title 'doctor' is an honorarium? A nursing (and any other) Doctor has earned
  4. I may not graduate in 2 months.

    Sorry to hear about your kid. Hope things work out ok. As for the clinicals. Did you give this explanation to the instructor? And how good is the rest of your clinicals? The lesson to learn? Life gets...
  5. Losing confidence...

    jka - seems like you've got some good advice so I don't need to go there (like I know how to do anything anyhow?). Seems there's more tho than meeting the task demand. Your confidence in your self...
  6. So how do you communicate to the next nurse what is happening with the patient? And how are you sure Chinese whispers aren't at play? And how do you ensure things stay consistent? And, considering...
  7. I need to conduct an interview

    I've got a couple of hundred scenarios if you need anything. Feel free to
  8. Until it comes to litigation - or you take a day off - or get floated to another unit - or your head falls off. Any intervention taking longer than a shift ought be documented as a care plan to enable...
  9. That's a very bad idea. Do not accept any liability or offer to repay this money. Nada Nil Zip. Though I haven't seen the contract - my best guess would be: You are only obligated to work for them as...
  10. Charting by exception is my preferred option. Where you have a diabetic patient - you do not need a diabetic care plan. A pre-op pt does not need a pre-op care plan - tho it depends on what pre-op...
  11. Help with Psych NCLEX questions

    Priority #1: The patient who fetches me the ward paper before anyone else gets to mess it up. Am I
  12. A learned psychiatrist gave me some advice one time when I was stuck in therpay session with a female adolescent arsonist and didn't know what to say sometimes.... trying not to upset or trigger...
  13. As I read it: You neither quit school (congratulations) nor were you terminated. I am assuming you have simply resigned the PCA/tech positions which, as a RN would be the norm. You have applied to...
  14. Care plans are a tool - a support mechanism but, as every tool, it's good for certain jobs but not all. A care plan is a communication device that is meant to establish consistency - but when there's...
  15. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    The N.MB & S has a fancier title so I'd guess they have more money too and go with that one for training opportunities. The general psych is probably a dumping ground for those not worthy of the...
  16. Is this considered nepotism?

    Not hiring somweone on that basis is discrimination. Their (potential) relationship with other staff in non-managerial positions has absolutely no bearing on their ability to carry out the job and...
  17. Type of drug consumed used does not indicate the level of
  18. Patient Life Stories

    Personally I prefer the blogs. They are far more real; far less
  19. Resident sexual rights

    The issues come down to vulnerability and acceptable risk. If someone appeared to lack decision-making capacity then they would require suitable safeguards. Otherwise, there are few reasons why not...
  20. vent--angry patients--your input

    I liked what you said - a lot.... and if I was your boss I'd ask if we could use your comment for the new "zero-tolerance to violence in the workplace"
  21. How do you work with the "SUPERNURSE"!!!

    Does she take break alone and/or seldom talk social chit chat and home life? Does she treat male patients differently to female patients? Does she react differently to male authority staff than female...
  22. nervous about psych care plans

    Another reason we don't use computerised care plans - is they're meant to be individually prepared and mutually agreed with the patient. Printing one off to sign is not a mutual agreement. Apply the...
  23. Clients burning fingers when on smoking breaks...

    Ask them if it's a problem to them first. If it is - ask if they want help with it. If they do - tell them to stop burning their
  24. Resignation Letter- please inspect

    Dear Nurse Manager, You suck. I'm leaving. I know I'm meant to give notice to leave on a certain date but since arrangements don't mean jack around here I could go anytime when I simply feel like...
  25. i dont know what to do, please help.

    Your information seems to be changing in quality through this story and I'm also bugged by the fact that these two "friends" would raise the matter with you for general discussion. If you're that...
