  1. DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    Well
  2. DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    How could anyone possibly warn you about a downturn in your life? We all have them, and you have to deal with them as they arise. Life sucks truly sometimes, what you do with it will define you....
  3. DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    This sounds tough, but have you tried unskilled labor to fill the gap while you look for a job? When I moved to my current location, I was unable to find a job with two Bachelor's degrees. I worked...
  4. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    This is a great idea. This person admitted his/herself voluntarily, and refuses to go voluntarily since then to the psych unit. We held him/her until a psych eval was completed, but didn't have...
  5. Repeat drug overdose patients are difficult to treat. We all are probably aware of the complexity of addiction, but one particular patient we have baffles me. Drug of choice-any of them....
  6. If I see one more post titled....

    @$#!it
  7. If I see one more post titled....

    There's one of these in almost every thread: No, I would never do blah, blah, blah, though most of the respondants are judgmental @?!# that have lost all traces of humanism. Oh, by the way, I am the...
  8. How honest are you?

    I vote for honesty without breaking HIPAA. I've never had too much trouble with visitors or patients, but some auxiliary staff have complained about certain things not being done. Once in particular...
  9. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    I never said this person didn't have one, which this person does. I really have no intention to roast you in any way because I agree with you that any job is better than none. However, the question...
  10. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    Precisely. This person's anxiety has been so difficult to treat because of this behavior. This person somehow believes that pills of any kind are the answer. I've personally been in on her care for...
  11. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    That's what's weird, though, it's not just your typical drugs of abuse. The key problem is anxiety for this person. They think, "I'm stressed, my blood pressure is high, better take 20 of my...
  12. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    Personally, I think that they should treat the patient with appropriate meds, but only fill 3-4 days worth at a
  13. If I see one more post titled....

    It's probably a unique situation. Don't be so judgmental (dripping
  14. Hello everyone! I ran a search and did not find a thread about this. This is meant for fun or catharsis, whichever you prefer. What was your worst dream ever pertaining to work? My worst dreams...
  15. Today I'm thankful for...

    You must have finally gotten enough cowbell if you aren't asking for more. I'm just plain thankful, it seems to be said all day. Oh yes, I'm thankful I passed ACLS recertification
  16. What has been your worst nightmare about work?

    I disagree that it not strictly nursing related. Dreams about work show our anxieties and coping methods' effectiveness. As far as being non-urgent and non-technical, that is not a requirement to...
  17. What has been your worst nightmare about work?

    I hear bed alarms in my sleep, does that
  18. If I see one more post titled....

    &@@&$!! Autocorrect! I hate it when it is stuck on German
  19. If I see one more post titled....

    I have Teams in my eyes, and I think I peed a little. I love that sketch, and the nurses with AN that have a twisted sense of humor. I saw some of the worst of humanity today, some of the heaviest...
  20. If I see one more post titled....

    I am starting a petition for the legalization and legitimization of cowbell and all other addictive percussives. You will spend more money and effort rehabilitating addicts than the US can afford...
  21. The title may be self explanatory, but they really are wonderful, if I can make the generalization. Today I was assigned a very busy, very selfish patient that was taking a great deal of my time. I...
  22. If I see one more post titled....

    Your picture shows you resemble a whole lot
  23. If I see one more post titled....

    Here's my fav though I haven't seen it for a while: So I'm like going to graduate with my BSN soon, and I'm totally bummed to find out that I won't be paid more than the ADN's!! We are the true...
  24. This just gripes the crud out of me...

    You know, Medicaid is privy to his info. He's attempting to defraud his insurance and disability. Just a
  25. This just gripes the crud out of me...

    I wonder about that as well. Say, for instance, they wanted to prosecute this individual. That would highlight your actions, which could be potentially illegal by breaking confidentiality, or...
