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

Working with the elderly can be a pleasure to work with what is the funniest thing someone has said to you? Scenario during 6am Med pass.

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.

By the way your survey card was sent to the north pole I'll make sure your survey card is checked "Naughty"

So, you telling me management has been naughty. I'll relay the message.

There's no place like gnome there's no place like gnome

I just wanna go gnome I just wanna go gnome

Their pile is a lot less than yours they have four things and you have ten things to do.

Really, yeah another chore on top of the other 3 kazillion things I have to do. Truly, you are being much too kind. Oh well so much for my bathroom break. Reminds me of this funny cartoon program where the cartoon character is dividing food or money and he counts, one for me and one for you; two for me and one, two for you; three for me and one, two, three, for you; four for me and one, two, three, four for you you get the picture. Oh I see you went to the Enron School of Accounting that says it all. ;

I am a fairly new nurse and I believe if you practice it wrong then you will do it wrong. Ideally I work hard to follow all the nursing guidelines. l learned to delegate what I can and to be more efficient by having all my needed supplies on hand. I work hard to learn my patients' likes and dislikes makes my day go a whole lot smoother. I try to anticipate their needs and we interupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news. Management has issued a mandate all work must be completed in a timely manner, all 300 duties on all 30 patients. Overtime is not allowed and will not be tolerated and/or you will be replaced, and now back to your regularly scheduled rant. thanks for listening, same rant channel same rant station.

What was your patient load as well as your patient acuity. You are new and some people expect you to catch on the first time, and have good time management skills as well. Yes hindsight is 20/20 but really get you some books or review your own nursing school books and review your weak areas while searching for a new position. Keep learning from your mistakes the only thing I don't like is people expect you to be perfect, question? How do you expect to get perfect results with imperfect people? Learn to be responsible for your actions.

I found a plaque with the Nurse's Ten Commandments on it 1. Thou shalt administer daily doses of compassion. 2. Thou shalt practice patience with thy patients. 3. Thou shalt remember that laughter is the best medicine. 4. Thou shalt honor thy patient's body, mind and spirit. 5.Thou shalt avoid burnout by taking good care of thyself. 6. Thou shalt check thy vital signs - a kind heart and cheerful smile. 7. Thou shalt not covet thy fellow nurse's shift 8. Thou shalt always strive to "make it all better." 9. Thou shalt follow the RX for stress RX doctors orders prayer morning, noon and night. 10. Thou shalt place thy patients in the care of the Divine Healer. Never say I don't know let me get that information for you.

Thank you, very much hadn't considered that hoping to find a job soon thereafter

Should healthcare be provided for as a basic human right? My answer may shock you no way around it, in this life i have learned you can pay for it on the front end or the back end but it will be paid for. I also believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Having said that i propose a 1% tax on every thing that we buy. Everyone makes purchases and bigger families spend more and smaller families usually spend less. Whether you work or not you have to spend and make purchases. Plain and simple every person in america will have contributed to the healthcare fund.

I need your advice on things to do in order to transfer my license from one state to another. What things did you do to get ready for your big move including things that may not be so obvious. Please help.

Run forest run and start looking for another job. Management usually sides with family members. You need to objectively document every encounter and keep a copy of it in your personal file for future reference. I have feeling you may be resorting to it soon. If at all possible have a witness present in every interaction preferably someone in good standing if possible lure the adon in say you need her assistance on the hall. She may witness first hand what you have to deal with .
