  2. Bipolar doesn't have to mean crazy!

    LibraNurse27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I want to post a link to the short book I wrote about my experience living with bipolar disorder and working as a nurse. My goal is to demonstrate that people with mental health disorders can...

  3. Bipolar doesn't have to mean crazy!

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Your parents are very compassionate. It is sad to see so many people self medicate with substance abuse due to lack of access to mental health care or...

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Aw thank you so much! I didn't know you were in France! Yes, I will forever be repenting for the damage I caused to my family and my partner during my worst times, and I know having a family member...

  5. I need advice about my new RN job at a drug rehab center

    LibraNurse27 replied to RandomPsychNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! If you were attacked to the point of being incapacitated, which I have unfortunately seen, coworkers knocked on the ground! How would you get help and who would take care of the other...

  6. I need advice about my new RN job at a drug rehab center

    LibraNurse27 replied to RandomPsychNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Coming from a unit that was always at least 1/3 etoh withdrawal pts, I say run for the hills! Outpatient detox pts may be lower acuity, but some pts underestimate the amount they drink and/or the last...

  7. First Nurse Serial Killer

    LibraNurse27 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! An earthquake?! ?I don't know anything about make up so I thought maybe it was normal. But a lot of people who know about make up seemed to comment in amazement that the make up turned out so...

  8. Should I stay or step out of my comfort zone?

    LibraNurse27 replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it! If you're confident and competent on a higher acuity med/surg floor with up to 6:1 ratio, you can handle almost anything! Sounds like you're not scared to learn about higher acuity...

  11. First Nurse Serial Killer

    LibraNurse27 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I watched the whole thing! Very interesting. I'm a millennial too so she didn't annoy me at all LOL! The make up thing is crazy. I saw her other videos and it looks like she makes herself a different...

  12. Bipolar doesn't have to mean crazy!

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Honey222, I think every application for tests and jobs asks you to disclose any disabilities. For tests I usually do not check the box that I have a disability because my condition doesn't...

  14. Are some people not meant for acute care?

    LibraNurse27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I recently switched from acute care after 5 years to outpatient PACU. It's less stressful although I am nervous giving so many narcotics. It's a bit routine and I don't get to do IVs (only...

  15. Are some people not meant for acute care?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I think we're in the same boat! A little nostalgic for the good parts of acute care and our former colleagues, but not quite enough to actually go back! LOL Good for you! That does NOT sound...

  17. Are some people not meant for acute care?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! This is exactly what I'm experiencing. I think it's because the floor is so extreme. Some days it's amazing! You catch something early that could have been fatal, take care of wonderful people,...

  18. Are some people not meant for acute care?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    LOL PACU is pretty great! When you do a whole day of recovering endoscopy/colonoscopy patients it's a little boring/routine, but luckily other days I get to do ortho, urology, OB/GYN, etc. If you...

    Thank you for bringing this up! On the Podcast Good Nurse Bad Nurse the host has been telling the story of a Black person who contributed to healthcare every week for the past year. The first Black...

  20. Are some people not meant for acute care?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    That's true! Right now I work almost exclusively PACU and I'm terrified when I have to go to pre-op once in forever and do EKGs and IVs. Luckily most outpatient patient IVs aren't as hard as the...

  21. Out of My Element Again

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think you would prefer a job with a set schedule and set duties? I think it's great you were promoted to management, but if you feel obligated to work 20 hours to have everything done right...

  24. What constitutes "a big deal"?

    LibraNurse27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 7 years and have made some minor errors along the way. I thought my acceptance that mistakes happen would get better over the years, but I don't think I've improved. A few...
