Be real, be humble, be careful. Don’t *** these kids - they’ll write you off if you’re a fake. It’s ok to be nervous. Don’t pretend to knowledge or wisdom you don’t have. If they know you’re new, they’ll understand. But they’ll still try and take ad...

Taycole research doesn’t work that way. Research subjects are generally anonymous. You can screenshot my response, so your lecturer doesn’t think you made it up. You can show her/him this response, but i’m not prepared to give out my full name and pl...

Are you satisfied with your choice of career? Why? Yes, because it fits with my values. What do you like most about your job? What would you change if you could? I like that I am helping others to improve their quality of life by teaching them ps...

I don’t know how to message you. Just put the questions up here and i’ll respond publicly. ?

You can interview me if you still need a guinea pig ?

Interesting for me watching how it has been almost unanimous amongst the responders - who all appear to be from the USA - that this young woman deserves a harsh punitive response. There have been precious few posters who have shown mercy, compassion...

Hi Lola I agree with Moogie (Hi Moogie). Here are my suggestions: 1. Time management skills - learn how, fast. 2. See a doc to check for any underlying conditions. 3. Learn how to set boundaries - all that overtime suggests a need, here. 4. Stress m...

Hi Thunderwolf Great article - thanks muchly. I have just discovered two great theoreticians/clinicians on BPD: 1. Dawson, D & MacMillan, HL 1993, Relationship Management of the Borderline Patient, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, New York,...

Hi Rachel Zana2, HouTx and Emmalou have said more useful stuff than I could think to say. I went back and checked out last year's comms. You got some t'riffic advice there, too. So, as requested, here goes again - apologies to the three above - yo...

overview from australian government here and/or here suggest you answer this after doing some reading from the above links like everything else, depends on the nurse, the treator, the circumstances in general. could you be more specific? depends ...

Congrats, you go-getter you! Wow. That is verrry groovy.

this sentence appears to be the crux of your problem: whoever told you the patient didn't want you for a nurse is NOT your friend. Stay away from this person.You are so upset you're not expressing the problem in terms others can readily understan...

Or - why it's a good idea to insist on medication reviews Or - what about seeing a psychologist and maybe changing your lifestyle? Here is the meds list for a woman (50) with a medical history of COPD, seizures, seasonal allergies, HT, impaired g...

Wow! That's brilliant, Diane - so succinct and yet so comprehensive. I am taking a copy of this! Thank you.

Poor you, Scrubby. Bummer and a half. how did you land yourself in this fine mess? I agree with the other poster. Surely you can get out of this awful supervising-of-soon-to-be-ex-friends job? Good luck Trish

2ndwind you're a comedy writer! I'm laughing - and oh yeah - I can see it - and Act 2 is where RN rushes off to tell all the other RNs ENs MOs cleaners, kitchen staff and anybody else she sees, her delicious new goss.

It's not the face to face meetings that bother me so much.... I guess you'd just be happy to turn the other cheek, eh? having said that, I'd rather my fellow nurses didn't know I was officially crazy ...er... that is, if I was, which I'm not - offici...

speaking as a patient I would refuse point blank to be cared for by anyone I knew. I can't imagine much worse, in fact, than being nursed by someone I went to uni with, or was taught by...shudder. No way! I would hope that they had the manners to ge...

G'day Is a GPA of 6.5 from an Australian university considered good/reasonable/average/acceptable - what? for applying to do grad dip; a PhD? Do prospective employers care? I'd appreciate your thoughts - particularly if you are an academic or a boss...

How about instead of challenging them to a debate here, you join the union, join the RCNA, go back to uni and do a teaching cert and maybe do a better job of teaching than the people you're criticising (because you have more recent experience? My te...

You are a gem Rachel - except maybe now you're being too hard on yourself. I think (here I go again) that intelligent, reflective people who are passionate about the things they care about and who have the confidence to speak out effectively are a ...

Rachel I was far too much of a smart arse in my reply to your OP. I apologise for being so opinionated and coming across as an aggressive sheet rather than helpful. From all your posts I've read you come across as a smart, energetic, lively woman....

i make the following assumption in my analysis of your text, grace: that you have highlighted the second statement to demonstrate what you see me doing with the first statement. in which case: very good grace - ya' busted me! in my (i hope gutsy, re...

Thanks Scrubby - I agree. To clarify, then - while working with them she is an honorary member of the team - who they can expect (hope) to rely on to do as she is requested, and participate as required. Teamwork in the multidisciplinary team is essen...

I agree with most of what Grace, Whispera,mykidzmom and emmalou said and think they have given you wise advice. I think Teensmom's idea of getting a hearing test is a good one. Dolcevita's point about passive aggressive people complaining sotto voce ...
