As stated, it is a MULTIFACTORAL issue. All play a part in the disease, but I think there are psychological processes that reinforce overeating that are the biggest factor in the issue.

Well, I guess it is more common then I thought. Thanks guys.

Yeah, I noticed this today at work. My other PCA coworkers did not want to help me do turns for the hospice patients because they had "charting to do". I should have told them that I don't respect them not helping me. Instead, I ******* to the nurses. The pregnant nurse helped me turn all the hospice patients. How is that fair to them?

So, recently the policy changed to have to take patients down to the morgue. What the hell is that ********? Anyone else have to do that?

thank you. what a great article!

I think there is a need for more men in nursing. Diversity is actually quite a good thing in my opinion. This profession is still female dominated (roughly 10 percent male nurses). There are going to be biases of stereotypes regardless of what anyone thinks. An example would be a job interview. Say you walk into an ER department with one open position, but five different interviewees. Well, chances are, the person that is taller, more confident, and athletic will be considered more based on natural selection.

There is only suggestion to move NP's to a DNP, but there are no laws in place as far as I am aware.

Yeah, i am not a door matt or someone who just does repetitive adls all day, I am an actual human being you can be friends with.

Thanks, i didn't get it beforehand. This helps me understand!

Is this really the year that NP's will have to get DNPs to practice in the state of Ohio? All I see is master-level schools. It really confuses me when reading about the AACN mandating the DNP and so many schools not adjusting to it. If I were to take a guess, this isn't going to be a state-wide policy for many years to come.

Yeah, i am done with my phlebotomy class and can't do this at my hospital on med surg floors. Damn well upset i spent time and money to learn a skill i can't use

It is impressive that you are doing all the patient care you do in the hospice setting. I bet that it is good getting to see both sides of mental health and hospice. That way, as an RN, you have many different avenues to consider. Thanks for the detailed response!

Yeah, i am not looking forward to OB and L&D clinical

Now, what exactly do CNAs do in mental health specialties? How would your day be different than at a hospice floor. I can see the result of that attitude even in myself. But, I think that knowing someday I'll be a little higher on the totem-pole helps me cope with the issues I'm faced with daily. Some days I wish I'd wake up and actually want to go to work.

Now that is a great appreciation for all the hard work you do day in and out!
