    Fear of Retirement!

    Davey Do replied to Laine's topic in General Nursing

    I could find no phobia (Greek for fear) of retirement, so I looked up the Greek word for retirement and came up with this: "syntaxiodotisiphobia" You're

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Just for the halibut, I'll share one of those stories. A state hospital forensic client was to be transferred from the local facility to Chicago. A security guard, tech and RN accompanied the...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Here's another interesting point that is getting a lot of attention- that the board, or more precisely, the IDPR, will be contacted over such a matter. When I was suspended for client...

    PSA

    Davey Do replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    At my last routine checkup in October, my PSA came back within parameters. Which I want to keep an eye on, since my older brother died of prostate cancer. Although I don't know how useful a...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    In all fairness, sideshowstarlet, toilet paper can be a safety hazard. No kidding. A few years back, at Wrongway, a therapist had one of her clients admitted to psych because the client...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    Davey Do replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Writing someone up for using the word poop in their documentation and posting it for all to see is ludicrous. Having 3 1/2 years of experience as an administrator, I would not have taken such...

    Is this unethical or no?

    Davey Do replied to Mursty's topic in Psychiatric

    You're welcome, Musty. It's enjoyable to recall the good ol' days and not have to deal with them. To answer your question, I believe short term administrators were the norm for Wrongway Regional...

    Is this unethical or no?

    Davey Do replied to Mursty's topic in Psychiatric

    No, Musty, not ethically or morally wrong, just some really bad management practice that can cause a lot of staff discord, power playing, and not end well. There was a similar situation with a...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info, Jess. I also wondered if a complaint has been filed with OIG-the Office of Inspector General. This would be assuredly done if a state hospital were involved, yet probably not...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't thought about texting, Jess, as that resource was not available when I dealt with my situations. Texting is good in the sense that there is documentation of communication. Texting could be...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    I was also suspended, with pay, back in '98 for insubordination, while employed at a community mental health facility. Basically, I felt harassed by two supervisors during a meeting. I stated,...

    Abuse Accusations

    Davey Do replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting how people who have no experience in major matters freely give advice to others. It's even surprising that some take that advice. Based on empirical experience, I would be...

    Exhausted from Covid

    Davey Do replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm relatively sure you know what my advice would be, gonzo, but we all need to make our own decisions, follow our own path, and be true to ourselves. Ralph Waldo had some great advice of which I...

    Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    Clueless People

    I recently sang my medical nurse wife Belinda's praises at a holiday gathering breakfast. Belinda had just gotten off her 12-hour MN shift from working in IMU and had typically done some...

    Clueless People

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Give me world and time and I will write a dissertation on the reasons why people "won't ever get it", Lunch, but suffice it all comes from one of the two basic emotions of fear. Fear of...

    Clueless People

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    As I often say to Belinda, "One of the reasons I love you...", I will say to you Daisy "...you know what questions to ask". This one, out of a group of many, is either clueless or does...
