1. How do you deal with your anger at work?

   rncountry replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

   I know that I am different than most, but I usually tackle problems head on. I would not change my schedule, if it worked for my life I would keep it. I would however tell this nurse she was...

2. Dementia/rape trauma syndrome

   rncountry replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

   Renee, I will have to look up the information that you posted. In a facility that I was a DON in we had a patient who was a Nazi Camp survivor. She had alzheimers, and doing nearly anything with her...

3. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

   rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   I personally like Lavina Dock. She not only contributed a great deal to nursing, she chained herself to the White House in the attempt to get the vote for Women. She was, of course, arrested. Not that...

   rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   glad2behere, you hit the nail on the head. I have often thought about a nursing group that was designed strictly for political purposes. A group in which it didn't matter if you were for unions or...

5. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

   rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   Exactly Canoehead. It is that "guardenship" of the patient that glad2tobehere stated earlier. I believe it is from that aspect that we must begin to educate the public to, and to an extent our fellow...

   rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   Too much the same definately breeds stagnation, I would say we need a curriculum at the BSN level though that is basicly the same so that all nurses start from the same basic framework. Then it is at...

   rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   Oh glad2behere, excellant post. That's it exactly. I especially like "guardenship of the patient" if I were to boil down what I feel I do on a day to day basis that would be it. Not only do nurses...

   When my daughter was a baby her primary was a NP. Her father was in the Air Force and the military (at least at that time) put a premium on wellness, not illness. Well baby checks were expected. Her...

   I lived in Hawaii from the time I was 6, landed on my birthday, till I was just past 8. Got there in 1969 and even then the crime rate was quite high. Nursenoelle, when I went there on vacation we...

10. Nurses in The Bahamas

    rncountry replied to Nurse Jimo's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses! Hope to see you here frequently. What you are describing is everywhere. The idea that nurses are not professionals is also everywhere. I would suggest that you take a look under...

11. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    llg, with all due respect the explanation you offered on the relationship between student and teacher at the PhD level does not sound like what happened between Swanson and Watson. Swanson may very...

12. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    While I understand that Watson's theory is not inclusive to simply caring for a patient, what I was trying to get across is that the idea of caring is overemphasized in the curriculum as Suzy pointed...

13. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    llg, your point is well taken. However that does not mean I believe that nursing theory has reached that ideal. There is too much nursing theory based on pseudoscience, not theory, hypothesis etc......

14. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    rncountry replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Research based practice is different than nursing theory. Concrete scientific research is why we don't use betadine and suger to heal a wound anymore, not philosophical reasoning. Assessment,...

    rachel I hope I helped some. And thanks to all who agreed with me, I actually expected to be told that I was not caring enough, or something to that effect. Next time you have a rude patient, take a...
