    banterings replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent article. Kudos to Bridget Joseph! There are also many other deeper issues here as well. Here are some questions to ponder: --If they do not tell you all the side effects and all...

    banterings replied to Kris0215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Kris0215, Congratulations on care and compassion recognized by your patient. For a patient to offer that, I can only imagine that what he was dealing with must have been quite difficult and he...

  5. Abuse in Nursing

    banterings replied to stickit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Needing some hope.

    banterings replied to UnsavoryCharacter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Twoyearnurse and VivaLasViejas, thank you you for for understanding my thoughts. I personally hate labels. You are right about perception; to a ten year old, 2 years is a long time (1/5 his life), to...

    banterings replied to UnsavoryCharacter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Veronica Cheney, I do believe that you did misunderstand me. I in no way believe that addiction is a character weakness (a choice that someone makes). Anyone who has people close to them dealing with...

    banterings replied to UnsavoryCharacter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Veronica Cheney, I believe that you misunderstood me. I never said that the OP was weak, I said that the addiction is a weakness. Let me put it in perspective. Consider another negative trait seen...

    [COLOR=#003366]UnsavoryCharacter, Congratulations on your sobriety. First off, don't be so hard on yourself. I can tell this by your screen name: UnsavoryCharacter. That implies you make your choices...

  10. Am I being bullied? Or is this normal?

    banterings replied to baymar67's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is "hazing" (just like college hazing) which is a form of "bullying." Psychologically this has a couple purposes: it cements power for the senior members of the group. It also "indoctrinates" the...

    banterings replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Taking the assumptions that patients are treated professionally and according to protocols, it may not be enough. The following are some links to articles on the topic of iatrogenic medical trauma...

    Esme12, The original paper is in print. I can't find the original publication. I found those references in one of my personal research journals. I probably focussed too much on this particular...

    macawake, I do NOT have a problem. Please STOP trying to diagnose me and recommend a course of treatment! I should have said: I have never accused anyone posting on this topic here of not caring. I...

    banterings replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ESME12, I am sorry that I took your comment out of context. I am also sorry for how people treated you. None of that is acceptable. Whether you are trying to help them or not, every person should be...

    banterings replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    middleager, If this was to me, I am not saying anyone condones the actions, treatment, etc. I ask why is "it is what it is" accepted as the answer. Just as your racial insights of, "honestly I was...

  18. Male modesty double standard

    banterings replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have never said "all providers are" or "all police are," but it seems that most are denying or minimalising this. My examples are the most extreme because there is no debate that they are morally,...
