  1. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    Pick your nose and flick it at the camera! Despite it being inexpensive, I don't think the state of MD would put the money out for it. Admin probably doesn't even know they exist. It's not exactly...
  2. What was harder? Non-nursing bachelors or ADN?

    I'm not an RN (nor do I plan to be), but getting a bachelor's in psyc was not easy. Plenty of papers to
  3. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    I work in a state facility, so I know they wouldn't put out that kind of money to do
  4. Please help me think of a nursing-related name!!!

    "Nurse on the water"? :chuckle (I was thinking of Deep Purple) What kind of nursing do you
  5. Cna or Activity Director Advice?

    Careful. I get the feeling that if they expect you to become a CNA, then they will probably expect you to act as a CNA at times. In other words, I suspect that not only will you act as an A.D., but...
  6. this is what happens when people let the emotional stress of a situation and pressure from others influence their decision-making over their common sense. thank goodness you stuck to your guns, and...
  7. Legal rights of hospital staff against patients

    Well, this has happened to me since I've worked at the hospital. In my opinion, they don't give enough training to deflect this kind of nonsense. And here's the rub: they're psychiatric patients. So...
  8. I was wondering: what rights do staff have when it comes to sexual harassment? If a nurse is being sexually harassed by a patient, what can be done? I don't mean, just avoid the
  9. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Woah, which issue was
  10. How do you take care of your back?

    Braces in and of themselves are NOT BAD. I used to wear a Milwaukee brace. What is bad is when people don't exercise when they're not wearing the brace. I wish I had exercised
  11. Did you care for a psych patient today?

    I'm a little tired, but here's a stab at it: I work in a psych hospital. I think that laughing at patients or poking fun at them or ignoring their illness is usually either a way to cope, or because...
  12. I think if people gossip TO you, they will also probably gossip ABOUT
  13. Definitely. People don't seem to know when to keep their mouth shut, or even consider that some things people don't want repeated (good things or bad). They don't seem to know how to keep secrets...
  14. Can I be a good nurse, I hate being a CNA

    AMEN! Job satisfaction is ESSENTIAL!!! I haven't yet found a job where I feel like I'm mostly
  15. Can I be a good nurse, I hate being a CNA

    I hear ya, I hear ya. It's very depressing when you are doing the same thing every day, day in and day out, and not learning much. I feel like I have other skills that I'm not using, and that is...
  16. Desperate Patients

    :chuckle Why, thank you! I've heard being overweight is a combination of genetics and learned eating habits. One is not exclusive of the other. I do believe that being overweight is at least partly a...
  17. Desperate Patients

    I fully believe people will put themselves through a great deal of physical pain in order to avoid dealing with change. Look at how many people get cosmetic surgury to get rid of wrinkles and saggy...
  18. Hmmm. I think it can happen when you minimize the severity of the offense you commit... Or think, "Oh, it's just Patient X, who I have a good working relationship with..." (making exceptions to rules...
  19. Desperate Patients

    I think people like quick, cheap, and easy. Quick-fixes don't require a lot of effort or challenge on the part of the person doing them. Kind of like how I don't believe in dieting, because dieting is...
  20. Nurse's Rights? Is It Only Pt's Rights?

    If you feel physically threatened, couldn't you call the police, or call security? That kind of behavior is totally uncalled
  21. Huh? Could you rephrase that, or be more
  22. fat ankles

    This place sounds pretty bad. What you did was wrong, but there sounds like there's a lot of problems going all the way up to the top anyway. You might want to consider resigning, and finding...
  23. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    I am not a nurse, but want to let you know that I have the same problem. I'm always thinking, "I should have done this, I should have known that, God, I'm so stupid..." I really beat myself up, and I...
  24. You might want to consider a change of occupation, or work in a clinic instead of a hospital. Heaven forbid you might be expected to work on a
  25. Excuse me while I :chuckle :rotfl: :roll No, because that would be giving preferential treatment to people because of their "child" status. I don't think it's fair that someone would get rewarded...
