So sorry for you he has a mental illness,it's obvious you are ill as well. If you were reading to a child you would correct his/her error you would not allow them to call a cat a dog nor a human being a tiger so why would you allow him to say and believe this lie and go along with this delusions.delusions - believe lie accept as truth

Mental illness is a disease that can be handled in several ways 1. Therapy 2. Medication 3. Spiritual Religion 4. Combination of the above. It's a mad mad world after all. The only thing that can dispel a lie is absolute truth. We teach our children to tell the truth and to stand up for what is right under the most extreme circumstances. Reading a book we identify images as they are not what we want them to be. We call a dog a dog and a cat is a cat. Black is black and white is white. However, we have allowed mental illness to prevail in this country. It's a mad mad world after all, when it comes to certain things we had no choice nor discussion in the matter, our birthdate, parents, birth order, race and citizenship. That was decided long before we were born and we accepted it as absolute truth. However if a person that was dark as night say they were white or white as snow and say they are black. We would not dare call a cat a dog nor teach our children to do the same. We would seek getting them help knowing that they have a mental illness so if you are mentally ill and in need of help please seek appropriate care but don't expect me to go along with your lie and delusions. You suffer from mental illness. Mr. Jenner is a man he needs to accept the truth and seek help for his mental illness support him getting his mind right and in line with the truth.

I usually tell them that is not acceptable behavior and redirect when possible would you do this behavior to your love one which they usually say no and they usually get better I leave if they don't and let them calm down I ask why they are having this behavior sometimes there is a need they have not being met I meet the needs I can and possibly negotiate when I can

coming soon a reality tv show titled "Stethoscopes gone wild"

"Now, you get to see how I feel said the stethoscope."

"This is how you know when you're having a bad day, when the stethoscope starts wearing you out and you not wearing it out, it's time to go home"

"I just wanted to hear what the new grad said to HR when they decided to quit, since I couldn't be a fly on the wall, I chose this option."

"That's it I've had it with this nursing... Sometimes you just have to acknowledge when you've been licked. If you feel this overwhelmed everyday it's time to let it go." "Don't you think?"

good job share what you learned. it might just help others who also work or intend to work in ltc. what are your expectations for those under your charge?

I have had the same problems that you mentioned and still struggle sometimes. I have learned myself and work very hard at self improvement. Some people have that look of being timid and some formidable. Are you normally passive, learn to be assertive, and if possible reflect and learn to get better for the second round. One former boss said I have this blank look on my face all the time. You know when you first arrived at work people already sized you up and others join in the chime when they hear others gossip. The best way to dispel their belief system. Glean where you can, be cordial, respectful and professional at alll times. It's work not a social club, and be self taught and proactive in your learning look up the meds you normally deal with since you stated been there 1 year and what procedures and kinds of patients you deal with learn contingencies and pre/post op s/s to be aware of and pay attention especially before giving new meds of allergies before writing an order have all needed info for the pcp when a call is needed right in front of you. And if you think you need some support or counseling by all means seek it out. Pray and ask God to build you up and to build your self-esteem. Prepare your self for success. And should you hear something that is true or not work on making it better and then move on.

Everyone in the healthcare team matter everyone can not be the quarterback then who's going long to catch the ball the wide receiver is but you still need that person to catch that ball and make that touch down and win the game. Go long nurses. Those cna block for us and allow us to move the ball up the field. keep it moving. touchdown we score great healthcare provided to the patient. congrats to all.
