Agreed that ASPD is not a diagnosis suitable for nursing intervention. It is a condition based upon a lack of moral character, and you, as a nurse, are not charged with affecting such. It is important for you to understand as a nurse what you may and...

maybe you could get into psych nursing? nothing is more fun than "out borderlining a borderline".

brother, forget the idea of medicating yourself into a water dog. you need to be on top, not a moron. stay on top thru cognitive adjustment, not diminishment of yourself. accept the fact that half the world is stupid, and that most of the other half ...

Each of us deals with the death of close family members differently. Having lost my parents while I was in my late teens I cannot compare my experience to yours. Grief over your loss is yours and yours alone. PTSD is not a normal part of grief unless...

Ian, thank you for encouraging the practice of least possible intervention. I must comment, however, that your orientation and experience is yours, and does not necessarily reflect the reality others' experience. You appear to be Dutch, or north euro...

"you can go crazy all you want, just don't do it in my front yard" Smokey Yarick seriously, we don't want to know you're gay, buddy, and we ain't gonna tell you we're straight all day, either.

some ADN programs are easier than others, and can be completed in as little as 2 years real time. community college ADN tend to involve clinical admission on basis of an extensive pre-clinical that is designed as a competitive "weeding-out" process. ...

in the military they call "lateral violence" boot camp. it is designed to wipe your slate clean and weed out behavioural problems that would be a danger to your self and your squad mates if allowed to continue. surely it has some value when dealing w...

yep, wisdom and conservative thinking just aren't worth much to today's youth in nursing.

sorry to hear you were so insulted by the simian reference, but then, we are all simians. yes? most of us have worked in places where we were verbally abused by clients or management at one time or another. it's hard to deal with, but a part of life....

thanks for your past service, brother. there is nothing in the world like a marine, and nothing above them for "exporting diplomacy".

sex is a physical act of one type or another. it has different meaning for different people. the differences are not necessarily dysfunctions indicating a need for intervention. they are variations within the human experience. feeling good about ones...

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

sex moves up and down in the heirarchy, trust me.

you may be facing the question of your own mortality, in disguise. talk with some other male nurses about this in person. see how they cope. learn to accept the fact that we are all going to die soon, and nothing else will faze you.

agreed. CNA is given after ist semester of clinicals, or can be done in 2 weeks at a community college or trade school. the wages are 11-15$ per hour, depending on where you are, AND, you get a foot in the door of a healthcare facility.

so right in this. any one of the conditions could have been lethal or debilitating, depending upon degree. if no degree is specified the question is invalid. sure, K is the easiest scale to fall off of and into death, but the question still stinks.

CC credit costs vary widely. in some states they are as low as $50 per credit hour, in others, as high as $200 per credit hour.

i am sure you are much more qualified than i to render an opinion on just about anything, being more advanced in age and in number of kudos on an internet forum. i am, however, not just an ordinary internet troll. i am a certified bridge troll, to be...

in any occupation it is better to create structure than to allow chaos. delivery is best given to a quiet people quietly and with much humility, so that the people will be unaware of the change and will say, "but how could it be otherwise? it has alw...

i find it interesting that you assume the poster in question who spoke of visible scars as a result of abuse was a victim of sexual abuse. this is telling in regard to your schema. visible scars are typical of physical abuse that is generally not sex...

as long as you don't tell people you are an "asian spa school student" then you should be just fine. if you do, though, i am sure someone will be along to rant about your claim in a minute or so. in any case, you will never find a real asian spa in U...

call me old school, and continue to assume that i am not a psychologist. your inference from my post content is within your cognitive schema. there is nothing i can do for you.

ego cannot be taught. it has to be earned.

speaking as a guy who has lived in asia for many years and has been thru an asian spa routine many times, i would have to say that this entire discussion is a waste of time. if we are not comfortable with our own bodies being exposed, how can we be c...
