Well as far as location is concerned on Australia but came from Scotland Sent from my iPad using allnurses

One needs to consider disclosure ver carefully preferably with clinical supervisor Sent from my iPad using allnurses

Some self disclosure is fine only if it's for the therapeutic benefit of the client Sent from my iPad using allnurses

Admission of those Dx of borderline PD should be avoided or brief as it can be counterproductive according to NICE and Project Air Guidelines Sent from my iPad using allnurses

It's certainly behaviour that has a purpose and for them is somewhat a way to adapt and deal with the intense psychic pain that they often experience. Majority of those with BPD Dx have experienced childhood trauma which could Include sexual abuse, neglect, emotion deprivation and so on. As a clinician one needs to consider how one responds part from the obvious safety and duty of care. Good evidence to support the clinician to think dialectically.

Such a ridiculous idea no common sense I'm sure it's not a hotel and MH Nurses are clinicians not bell boys

Just go for it

I'm a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse and for the lady 2years I have not administered any antipsychotics so there are other option

sense of belonging...now I'm for that but talking about what's important can be helpful or what I might call a useful conversation might in some way lead to small steps in the direction of recovery. What does the the client want? How will they know it makes a difference? what will they notice? cheers Albert

some empathy, clear boudaries and a litle Zen...the how to engage with those borderline very nice people

Psychoeducational groups around depression and anxiety could be a great start, Other specifics might include sleep hygiene and what about using a Solution Focused approach such as Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. Have you checked out Phil Barker's Tidal Model not specifically for groups but very client orientated. cheers Albert

Nursing...it's a great profession and it requires brains Albert

sounds like your work place culture is not so supportive. what about Clinical Supervision? do you malke use of it? cheers for now Albert

Have you considered Clinical Supervision? Albert
