    Scared to be a nurse, having the responsibility of a life in my hands scares me.

    wish_me_luck replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Marshall, in some states, if a healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.) goes in-patient, then the treating psychiatrist has to report them, by law. It's their license or yours, basically. Other...

    Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That's sad about the burial plots with only the medical record number. I feel like in the decades (and centuries) that have past, we should have gotten over this big fear of mental illness. It seems...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    anotherone, the thing that bothers me more than the diagnosis staying with me forever is that a Board Order (thus the diagnosis in the order) cannot be revised/changed or taken down if someone gets a...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    buckeye, I have noticed that many people with a mental health diagnosis do best when given PRN or part time work. It has worked out that way for me, as well. However, I personally plan on working full...

    wish_me_luck replied to k-flo's topic in Nursing Career

    Both of the PP are correct. Also, perhaps the CNA who has only been there for 3 weeks has previous CNA experience? That makes a big difference because it could be that they are good at the CNA work...

    Many people with Bipolar are nurses. It is ultimately up to you as you know yourself better than anyone else does. I will leave you with this thought--you have a disorder, you are not your disorder....
