   vintagemother, I agree that psych nursing is very team oriented. You become protective of each other, and that is something I absolutely love about being a psych nurse. We all watch out for one...

2. How do you handle manipulative/demanding patients?

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to reply! I feel like there is such a fine line between being firm and setting boundaries and the patient interpreting that the nurse's don't care. In...

   And neither is accusing me of blaming my family for doing bad on a test. Yes, I do get defensive when someone says something that is completely untrue about my family and I will stand up for myself. I...

   What is wrong with you?! I am not blaming my family for anything! I did bad on a test, instructor called me in her office, asked what my priorities are, and I told her! I never said my family is the...

   kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

   I never said she was a horrible person in any of my posts. Not sure where you are getting that from. I asked if her comments were inappropriate. I guess it's difficult to convey the context of the...

10. Was my professor out of line?

    kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Others do care about my priorities and my instructor cares which is why she asked. I don't agree that instructors will fail you without batting an eyelash. The instructors at my school care very much...

    kimmyanne02 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I understand what you are saying. It makes life easier to just say what they want to hear to avoid conflict. I just can't lie about my priorities when it comes to my family and their importance in my...

    Biscuit4445, Okay. Now it all makes sense. Your profile says pre-nursing student. You haven't the foggiest idea what you are even talking about, but you will soon understand the emotional tug-of-war...

    Biscuit4445, I don't really understand why you told me to quit whining and get a life. Can you explain what exactly you mean? I'm not whining. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't this a place for nurses and...
