    Heylove replied to Paris2017's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  2. New Clinical Instructor / advice

    Heylove replied to Mmincey's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Will you be clinical instructing at the facility that you work? In my opinion, it is much easier that way so you know the staff and know your way around. When we are visitors at a different facility...

    Heylove replied to peaceluvandnursing's topic in Psychiatric

    I am so sorry to hear your story. It sounds like one of my worst nightmares, and I don't have any answers for you. In our area of nursing, even with what I believed to be the protective factors of...

    Heylove replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  8. RN planning on going to law school

    Heylove replied to Jayestonilo's topic in Legal

  9. Five Ways to Reignite Your Passion For Nursing

    Heylove replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

  10. It Can Happen to You: BON

    Heylove replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    I have asked this same question. The short answer is...nobody. Not management, not a facility, not a union, not BON. The closest we have to someone looking after us is our coworkers thanks to the...

  13. Just a vent... medical vs psych

    Heylove replied to Mandychelle79's topic in Psychiatric

    Why is this funny? It's true, no matter if the patient comes in a "psych patient" or not. Every patient deals with the psychiatric issues of becoming hospitalized, whether it's anxiety from being...

  14. Assault and Restraint in the Psychiatric Setting

    Heylove replied to Eliziel's topic in Psychiatric

    This is amazing. I am going through something similar but not exactly. I still have my job. I have no idea who to turn to for help as I am not part of a union, and since HR is the one that brought...

  15. New Psych Nurse Advice

    Heylove replied to marsbar37's topic in Psychiatric

    You can also rely on coworkers for help. Sometimes particular staff members seem to upset a patient, so others step in to help de-escalate the patient. If you don't have helpful coworkers that do...

  16. Advice for potential RN

    Heylove replied to hope77rn's topic in Psychiatric

    Absolutely. It was while I was in nursing school and my first day of my psych rotation that I absolutely knew I wanted to work in psych. The downside is now it appears that I won't get the chance...

  17. 2019 Nursing Salary Survey

    Heylove replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Although I have a base "hourly" pay, I also get Baylor pay and I wasn't sure if I should have included the extra pay into the "hourly" rate. Does that make sense? For example, if my base pay is...

  20. Tattoos - Yes or No?

    Heylove replied to TiffanyE88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can't see the picture, so I'm just speaking from personal experience. It's a pain in the butt to have to cover them...so stop getting them. I had classmates that had to put bandaids in weird places...

    Heylove posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  22. Where to turn for help?

    Heylove posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Without going into too much detail, I need help. I have been disciplined at work, and I don't know who to turn to for help. HR will be no help (since they are the ones that pursued this discipline)...

  23. Responding to psych patient requests/comments

    Heylove replied to elizabethgrad09's topic in Psychiatric

    Some hospitals still have smoke breaks for whatever lame reason they give. I don't fight it anymore. I'm just grateful that my hospital is not one of those facilities that allows that. It would...
