Maybe make some Mengele references here and there too? (I kid and in no way do I advocate the actions of that horrid regime)

I've eaten many times before bathing and each time all I end up with is a light-headed feeling and I stay within the steamy shower for far too long than it gives me serious cramps in my stomach.I haven't died yet though.

'In many states you can get into trouble for this;you must express explicitly that you are recording their voice otherwise you would be breaking the law.

I do not think it is only Psychiatric-patients that complain of an irregular sleeping-pattern and as to why they cannot sleep at night.

The name itself sounds silly;like something children's television and Preschool-teachers would promote to children with little jingles and dances.

What's wrong with "wild-tv" before bed?That seems a bit babying to patients,no?hehe

You seem like an asset to those poor children;you are the one whom seems to understand them whereas the other staff in your facility do not.When I was in hospital as a child;I sure as hell wish I had somebody that would have listened to me;that just ...

I just entered my twenties and I do not communicate like her;I find such a generalisation offensive.

That is when they are a danger to themselves or others only,correct?

This is not true at least by Florida's Mental-health Law;just because one is admitted on an Involuntary-Basis they are not considered to be incompetent until a court-hearing and until that time are considered to be competent.

To my Knowledge if one is committed involuntarily they still have the right to consent lest they have been proven incompetent or by court-order.

The OP is not a patient so your statement really holds no grounds or validity. Pardon the double-post.

As a nurse it should not matter to you what his past actions are simply to help in the process of healing and nothing more lest he is an obvious threat to safety.Your ethics do not interfere with such situations.

You do not know what is on anybody's mind at hospital or anywhere really;it does not matter the demographic.Humans by nature just lack the ability to read minds.

Why not set up or extend Medicare to all?It is a public-option but it is reserved only to the elderly and disabled;taxes pay into it,the taxes of working men and women and they do not get to see the benefits of it until they are a certain age an more...

In an inpatient setting;it would depend on the circumstances.Are both parties consenting-adults that are considered to be competent?

I am rather curious at this moment as to what one may be allowed to have on their person or at least what luxuries a person may be able to have from their home for recreation and the like while committed like music,magazines,books;things of that sort...

Would that exclude them from a position in a psychiatric-setting?

Oh no worries at all,how can one be an inpatient at a PCU and an MHW at the same time?I am sorry;my mind fails me as of late.

I too was slightly confused by the OP and her comments;Sorry.

One cannot work in a psychiatric-unit if they have been diagnosed with a mental-illness themselves?

How often do assaults occur on the job;is it a very common thing?

Does it lengthen their stay in question if they do not participate in therapy?What if the patient does not like physical-activities or sports,exercise etcetera? No caffeine,so the patients are treated as children;as if they cannot handle such minor t...

15 posts minimum are needed also.

Does a person have to participate in Therapy and the like?What do these recreational-activities encompass?What if family is unable to help or the person in question does not wish to involve them? Are beverages such a soft-drinks allowed at all?Care-p...
