  1. shaken about psychotic patient incident last night.. very long..

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    When looking for the problems in a relationship - it is seldom we look to ourselves first. It's a well known thing. I've seen it in absolutely every establishment I've worked in - ~ 20 or so. What's...

  2. shaken about psychotic patient incident last night.. very long..

    Mr Ian replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    ok ... here it is straight from the hip. Institutionalisation doesn't just effect the patients. In fact - it is in the staff it manifests most. For without it - the patients wouldn't know it existed....

  3. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    Mr Ian replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the update. Initiate a vote of no confidence and spell out the failings. Presumably the union reps answer to someone higher. The employers don't pay their wages and when the cash dries up -...

  4. Help with abbreviations

    Mr Ian replied to mlee9985's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was GTN over UK Glycerin Tri Nitrate or something.... mweh.. what do I know? I'm psych. I'd be like.... "you look pale mate ... let's get you out in the

  5. Would like some advice on assaultive client

    Mr Ian replied to 2batty2care's topic in General Nursing

    No I think it's pretty much the same. But there's a difference when you've been personally involved in something as Batty has and I believe the meeting tomorrow is about HR rather than clinical. I'm...

  6. Would like some advice on assaultive client

    Mr Ian replied to 2batty2care's topic in General Nursing

    With respect lpnflorida - Batty's problem is not to manage this individual. His need is to preserve himself and reach retirement intact. Tho I completely agree with what you said about BMPs - & if...

  7. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Mr Ian replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well if that's the case.... I'd cast your net wide and include 'specialist advice' from the mental health team... And you're gonna probably want some more reading around the topic so you can...

  8. Would like some advice on assaultive client

    Mr Ian replied to 2batty2care's topic in General Nursing

    mweh... I'm a manager. But only by 4 months. Told my team they probably had about 6 months grace before I turned into a complete *******. If you brought any those ideas to me - I'd tell ya to get...

  9. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Mr Ian replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't much that jumps out - but these two seemed of relevance: I like the sound of this one: And this one is much older (1976!) but I would guess a lot of the process is transferable to...

  10. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Mr Ian replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add - 'histrionic behaviour' et al isn't a completely unresearched phenomenon. But it's a complex formulation of multiple attributes. (that's the BS degree talking ) Simply put - you're...

  11. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Mr Ian replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I have a degree in BS. I used to think all nurses/staff should be able and willing to tolerate MH issues like MH does across all areas - and "quick fix" answers weren't acceptable - but I was...

  13. Disruptive families in acute care settings

    Mr Ian replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    You can't beat proper mustard, eh Whispera? But anyhooos... I think 1Tulip, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you are aware and understand the normal reactions of pt relatives such as grief, guilt,...

  14. Would like some advice on assaultive client

    Mr Ian replied to 2batty2care's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in similar. It sounds like your management are openly aware and supportive - at least they're not just springing it on you as often happens. Of course, they will be preserving their own...

  15. Verbally Abusive Patients!

    Mr Ian replied to HotDrew's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I get verbal abuse (and they've got low grade injury) respond with "I'll be back in half an hour when you've calmed down" - Often you get further abuse to this to which I reply - "Ok better make...

  16. Juvenile sexual offenders

    Mr Ian replied to marilynmom's topic in Psychiatric

    You will probably get formal instruction on security, emergencies and incident management - as well as a guided tour. When you're alongside another nurse they will keep you right. And no (decent)...

  17. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    Mr Ian replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    I say YES! And not only that... Immediately promote this student to a Management position. She's got most the competencies already. Just to make a sensible comment... Initially my 'reaction' to...

  18. discrimination help please

    Mr Ian replied to lhsouthern's topic in General Nursing

    Ask for every comment in writing and "do you mind if I send a copy to your

  19. Referring to CMA's as nurses

    Mr Ian replied to MemphisTiger's topic in General Nursing

    Put it on the wrong way and let it flip itself

  20. Nurse Practitioners in another country

    Mr Ian replied to juice73's topic in International Nursing

    I have frequent debates on a certain uk medical blog - tho I'm Oz now, I'm ex-UK. The main gist of their arguments are - NPs are not good enough - but we've yet to see the evidence that they're not....

  21. Going against the pt's wishes...

    Mr Ian replied to Cindy-san's topic in General Nursing

    well i think he made his wishes patently

  23. Referring to CMA's as nurses

    Mr Ian replied to MemphisTiger's topic in General Nursing

    Well I think it's fine to call them nurses. as long as you use a little

  24. Going against the pt's wishes...

    Mr Ian replied to Cindy-san's topic in General Nursing

    Because depression does not mean incapacitated. The first impression is that the pt made their wishes known pre-op. So it seems easy huh? Not so. It's a legal nightmare. The thing is with 'decision...

  25. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    Mr Ian replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta love the pedants. I interviewed for a job last year after night shift. I didn't swap the shifts as I should have - but arranged for a 2pm interview thinking I'd get some sleep before hand. I...
