  1. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    PMHNP10 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't mean to bust chops, but I'm glad noone has, because I did go to an ER for this. My fiance and I were moving back to TX from CA in Sept and we were rearended on I-80. A couple days later I...

  2. APNA statement

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    While this is based on master level nurse issue, I feel this is pertinent to all nurses. I apologize if this has been posted, but what do y'all think....

  3. APNA statement

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I did pick up on the sarcasm (or preferably, dramatic irony). What I think is interesting is that APNs will not have to work under a doctor, but will be completely autonomous. I personally think...

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I apologize if this has been posted, but what do y'all think of this?

    anyone?

  6. Anybody else waiting for a letter from UT Houston?

    PMHNP10 replied to Advan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    when I interviewed I was told to call them on the 1st if no letter, which I did. I left a message; they returned it and I found out. She said they will be sending them this week. So you can leave...

  7. Doctors comments about not trusting his Nurses

    PMHNP10 replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really have any different advice to offer on this subject; just an observation. I found it interesting that the spouse was initially frustrated with the doc for being late; then the spouse...

  8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    This should be

  9. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    PMHNP10 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Also, when is the CNA going to try to break in to TX. I might actually consider reducing the "nursing shortage" that I've contributed to by refusing to work bedside

  10. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    PMHNP10 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    well that one guy does look kinda shifty

  11. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    PMHNP10 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because of the reasons you just listed...if you aren't in the union, you become the object of their

  12. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    PMHNP10 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In the above post, do you mean within a hospital once a majority of nurses have already voted to bring in a union? Or are you still saying that nurses should be able to refuse a union (which they can...

  13. Nurse Retention..........

    PMHNP10 replied to CardioTrans's topic in General Nursing

    I stayed at my previous job because: I loved what I was doing (more than I could ever express in this post) cafeteria open at night for employees with good to great food (which, in hindsight, is a...

  14. I thought I'd share

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Some of y'all might know me (or at least might recognize my name) and maybe even have read some of my posts. Anywho, while out in CA I had what I considered a dream job (psych crisis response team...

  15. I thought I'd share

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    In CA, I worked at 1 hospital on an inpatient psych unit. I had 4 components to my job--in decreasing order of priority: assess a pt. who comes in to the ER with some sort of psych/behavioral issue...

  16. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    PMHNP10 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Much of what you say is reasonable, but I'm having a hard time understanding what you didn't agree with--the whole customer service equating that the customer is always right thing? If that is it, I...

  17. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    PMHNP10 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    To me, this has always been a curious response; it seems that if a sup. felt justified in making such a comment, the RN would be justified in asking the sup. if they were willing to support them after...

  18. "Nurse Quacktitioner."

    PMHNP10 replied to URO-RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know about this company, but if you remember the treasure trolls from the early '90s, well I used to have one of a doctor--this was when I was pre-med. I called him Troogie Trowser (obviously...

  19. Nursing Insurance and Union

    PMHNP10 replied to FreshRN05's topic in General Nursing

    I'd encourage you to do a search on both of these topics because they are 2 of the more popular discussed topics on the message board--like to the point of ad nauseam for some (possibly only adn vs...

  20. lithium levels

    oops...I guess I should have read all the posts before adding my

  21. lithium levels

    PMHNP10 replied to leslie :-D's topic in Psychiatric

    Could it be that she has been cheeking some of her meds out of fear of her previous toxic reaction? Pehaps cheeking has caused her to convert into a hypomanic state (so to speak) and she is not...

  22. Stigma against Psych.

    PMHNP10 replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Different strokes for different folks. While there are those who think psych nursing isn't really nursing, and some think it's a place for burnt out med/surg nurses to turn, there are those who don't...

  23. Need psych help in Texas--No insurance

    PMHNP10 replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Psychiatric

    Without a doubt, she is a danger to herself, but her behavior is not suicidal rather impulsive/self-mutilation (without knowing the whole story, perhaps that's what keeps her out of an inpatient...

  24. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    PMHNP10 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow. At least you know your place in the food chain so to speak. This type of crap strikes a nerve with nurses who spend 1+ years in college working towards a degree which is used to keep people...

  25. hidden cameras in patient's room

    PMHNP10 replied to Shell5's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm no lawyer (although many believe I should have become one), so my suggestion is to contact one. All I do know is that there are consent laws for audio taping that vary state to state. See:...
