    Exorcisms anyone?

    Orca, can you define or explain a child defying gravity and walking backwards up a wall which was witnessed by the DCS worker and at least two professionals at the hospital they were taken to? No one...

    Exorcisms anyone?

    Trac78 thanks for sharing. That must be an awful thing for her to suffer from. I agree that thinking outside of the box may be beneficial for some patients that medicine and therapy just doesn't...

    Exorcisms anyone?

    Thanks for the link. I will check it out. It is disturbing even to me as a Christian to think that demonic possession is possible but I do believe it is and I just wondered what make the chaplain at...

    Exorcisms anyone?

    Offlabel that is what I'm trying to say. It often presents as a mental illness and that is why I posted it under psych nursing. I do not believe that every mental illness is the result of demonic...

    Exorcisms anyone?

    Exorcisms anyone?

    Zak Bagans' 'Demon House' movie warns, 'View at your own risk' This is just one link. There are multiple sources that a quick google search would turn up. I put it under pysch nursing since demon...

    Cna incident investigation

    I hope this works out for you. You may need to hire an attorney but you haven't even had any action taken against you at this point so I'm not sure if that would be necessary. You could at least try...

    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    As other people have said, no one got kicks from her mom's pain. Jahi never had a say whether she wanted her body to be kept alive for 5 years on a ventilator and artificial feedings because she was...

    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    Elkpark- yes, but I would think that after seeing her code, be pronounced brain dead by multiple doctors, spend almost 5 years being hooked up to life support, battling an infection all year, going...

    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    Coded for over two hours? How is this having regard for her life or her best interests? That is the real tragedy

    Jahi McMath is finally at peace

    Mother: Girl at center of debate over brain death dies - ABC News Let's all take a minute to talk about the elephant in the room here. Why on earth, who on earth would operate on a child that's been...
  14. We are going through staffing cuts at my hospital. People are leaving left and right. Patients aren't getting proper care because nurses just don't have the time. It wears down on a person,...

    Dealing with Guilt and Coping

    As someone who has lost someone recently and played every scenario over and over in my head and thought, what if we did this instead of that. Sometimes the answer is people are just too sick,...

    Can nurses live a luxurious life?

    I live in the Midwest and have less than 5 years of nursing experience. I just took a just making around $95,000 before overtime. However, my previous job I made about half of that without overtime....

    Garbage Report

    One of the worst reports I've witnessed and assisted in the subsequent code: obs floor was transferring a patient to the medical surgical floor. Last thing the obs RN told the receiving RN was that...

    Garbage Report

    As far as staying late, if it's an immediate need or concern for the patient, yes I will. But nursing is a 24 hour operation so some things can and should be passed

    Garbage Report

    Left a patient and came back the next day to find the patient extremely confused, vital signs indicating severe sepsis, family members and night shift RN tell me patient was like that all night and no...

    Nurses cannot perform miracles

    Thought about posting this on Facebook but didn't think it would be well received, so I thought maybe my fellow nurses could relate. Yesterday I entered a patient's room with high hopes of reviewing...

    Non Type A nurses

    Nothing against type A nurses, but I started a new job and my preceptor is very type A. She wants to know everything, be in control of everything, and is just go go go without giving me much...

    How do you discuss gender issues with adolescents?

    I read something recently that made perfect sense to me. It said something along the lines of "you are not your sexuality." If your students struggle I would tell them they are not defined by these...
