  1. PMHNP and telepsych

    editingeyes posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I have a question regarding telepsych - with telepsych, can I, as the practitioner, be the one at the remote location? For example, my SO travels a little over 50% of the year for work and...

  3. WILTW 7/18: I'm tired :\ (complaint department and other things)

    editingeyes replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I have been doing psych and substance abuse for a few years now, but have only just now seen my first legit, bad case of DT's. This poor patient was on a medical floor first and they couldn't handle...

  4. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

    editingeyes replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    editingeyes replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, I lived in Nashville for a while where eating Sonic ice was an every day thing for people. I have never seen people go to a "restaurant" and just ask for ice chips. It is like a cult thing down...

    editingeyes replied to A&Ox6's topic in General Nursing

    I learned this week that when you have iron deficiency anemia, you can crave ice chips. I had a detox patient ask me to get her level tested and when I asked her why she thought it was off she stated...

    editingeyes replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

  9. Taking a pay cut to go to day shift?

    editingeyes replied to tobydog01's topic in General Nursing

    I did essentially the same thing - went from working 3 12hr night shifts, EOW/H, etc to a Mon-Thur 10 hour a day job. No weekends, no holidays, no call. I took a $5/hour pay cut. Don't get me wrong,...

  11. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    editingeyes replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just yesterday my patient told me multiple times all the reasons I was going to hell. For one, he knows that I am fornicating and that is a sin (I live and work in a small town - he says he saw my...

  12. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    editingeyes replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    (disclaimer - I work psych, so I get insulted every day pretty much). Just today a dad of a patient got upset that I wouldn't refill his kid's meds because she hadn't shown up for her last 6...

    editingeyes replied to Christy1019's topic in General Nursing

    I did the same thing as a previous poster - in 8th grade science, students all had to read paragraphs from the book and my paragraphs had the word "organism" in it. Dang if I didn't say "orgasm". I...

  14. Hilarious Conversation with a Patient

    editingeyes replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work psych so I hear interesting things every time I work. I had one patient who came out of his room with his socks falling off his feet - me: "XX, your socks are falling off, do you need help?" pt...

    editingeyes replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

  16. Having a hard time saying 'no' to working overtime

    editingeyes replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I work as an RN (BSN) and I live in the Midwest - I make nowhere near $80K. Every hospital in my area starts between $20-$25/hour. In my area you can't even remotely expect to pull in that kind of...

  17. Question about pysch nursing

    editingeyes replied to mandyd87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I also graduated recently and got my first job in a psych unit at a hospital. I really only applied to psych jobs, since that is what I knew in my heart I wanted to do. However, I enjoy the more...

  18. ADN or BSN

    editingeyes replied to platinum_garb's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I worked a full time job while doing an accelerated BSN program. Several of my classmates did as well. None of us were close to failing - you just have to prioritize your time amazingly well. On...

  19. Missouri to Illinois Reciprocity?

    editingeyes replied to delerben's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am in a similar situation - I applied for my IL license (took and passed my NCLEX in TN) last week and it was not an easy process. No one ever answers the phone on any of the numbers you call. What...

  21. DBQ and Quad Cities

    editingeyes replied to editingeyes's topic in General Nursing

    mcuatlacuatl - thanks for the post! I'll definitely look into Mercy in Clinton. What type of floor do you work on? That is a good sign that you have been there for 9 years - they must treat their...

  22. DBQ and Quad Cities

    editingeyes replied to editingeyes's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, Illinois isn't, but hopefully will be soon (legislature has been written to get them to be involved as a compact state). I'll definitely look in to Janesville. I forgot about Clinton - thanks...

  23. DBQ and Quad Cities

    editingeyes replied to editingeyes's topic in General Nursing

    editingeyes replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in General Students
