  1. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Once you have assess the risk, the key is understanding the reason why a person wants to end their life. You look for triggering events (what precipitated their decision) . Connecting a person with...

  2. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    So... In other words, bullying... Hmmm... That's straddling a fine line between seeking consent and enforcing it. I still don't get the impetus in cathing someone... Eventually everyone has to go,...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Anna Flaxis, Thank you. Your post has done much to explain some misconceptions I had. Are you familiar with a training program called "Living Works?" Also known as "ASSIST." It is, in essence a...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Nonyvole, Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts. I wonder at what point during the procedure your "runners" decided to take off (if that information is available). Also, I wonder if...

  5. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Perhaps you would like to educate me. I would like to benefit from your insights and experience in this matter. I will agree the ED is a unique environment but only to the point that it can, as is...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Agreed, then.

  7. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    You are ignoring the fact that quite a few suicidal persons are ambivalent about their intention. You are also ignoring the fact that some people, while contemplating the idea of committing suicide,...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    I disagree with you, Farawyn. So-called "high-risk" kicks in once the specific situation of the person has been assessed. Until then, it is just guess work. If

  9. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    That is one of the reasons why I do not believe using the baseline every-suicidal-person-is-high-risk nonsense actually work. Don't get me wrong; it's safe (if that's all you care about) but it isn't...

  10. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Hello wolf9653, I recognize that safety is important. As I have mentioned in one of my previous post, I can see - and certainly agree with - to some safety measures when the person is obviously a...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Hello Anna Flaxis, I have never worked in the ER. I have dealt with suicidal persons, but they were not inpatient. Do you believe this invalidate the points I have made?

  12. When it comes to tests, more is not always better

    Dany102 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently came across a news article discussing a downward trend in the numbers of tests, procedures and, sometimes, even elective surgeries. The article, while from a Canadian news paper, certainly...

    Whispera, if only I could like your post a hundred times... Thank you!

  14. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Your points are well taken, Farawyn. I should have exercised a bit more caution. So let's narrow it down, for the sake of clarity. Not every suicidal person will necessarily act on their...

  15. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Not all suicidal persons have the same level of risk to self harm. Unless the person is in severe psychosis, there is always ambivalence at play. Especially with someone who recognize their own...

    A reward system you say. I wonder where I heard that before Hopefully your efforts were successful. (Okay, back to quiet lurking I go)

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Keep in mind that he went to the ER semi-willingly (friends brought him there). He probably thought he'd get a chance to talk to a therapist or something; sort out his feelings. I bet he had no...

  18. My thoughts. Literally. Catheter. Psych Pt. ED

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    Thank you, VivaLasViejas, for expressing far more eloquently what I was struggling with in my own reply. The thought of being put through something like that without any justifiable reason (base on...

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    I guess it is true that humans are resilient by nature. I suppose you can get used to just about anything, with enough exposure. How was some of you dignity kept intact?

  20. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Dany102 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps... But I did not want to make any assumption about what you knew or didn't knew. I know I struggled with many acronyms on this forum so, I'm looking out for you buddy.

    Dany102 replied to Ronda89's topic in Emergency

    And that post has just reconfirmed my conviction that I will never seek help at an hospital should I have suicidal tendencies. And I am certain many person struggling with depression/suicide ideation...

    Dany102 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Nursing News

    I have to say I was shocked when I read this article. This behaviour, and from a professional nurse, is beyond appalling. I really really want to believe that this is a minority and that, of course,...

  24. The struggle from a student who's mom is the school nurse :)

    Dany102 replied to loveschoolnursing's topic in School

    I still remember my mom bravely attempting to give me the talk when I was 14yo. I think I was more embarrassed for her than anything else. I will give her credit for at least trying but... She was...

  25. Student's hygiene?

    Dany102 replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    I have heard of parents dotting on a single child (and, even if it might be hard to admit, everyone has favourites) but this made me a bit sad. What parents behave that way? I feel sorry for this...
