  1. Epilepsy and Employment

    nursingaround1 replied to deej394's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I think honesty up front is the best thing, in the short term and especially the long term. You want an employer who supports you, and wants you on their team. Also, if you did get the job, and then...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It's not worth it. I think I have some really interesting stories to share, but it's simply not worth it. I don't have a thick enough skin for this, although I now I have had such a response, I would...

    thanks, I appreciate your response. But I've learned to keep my trap shut, it's been quite painful reading all the comments. I realise I said some silly things, but still, the response has been...

  6. Unusual treatments

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Does it have to be exciting and full of drama? Maybe someone will find it a little interesting, or perhaps not. Although I was curious to see if I could write one small story/anecdote, that would not...

    It sounds black and white. But what happens when they're both drunk, and neither can remember what exactly happened, or the events leading up to the event? You're trying to tell me only bad people do...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    See what happens when you don't mentioned 'sex' or 'pot' in the title, everyone ignored

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the point of this post was not about sex (but if you see it about sex, that's fine) but about trying to figure out the right thing and figuring out my role as a nurse, and a parent in...

    Hmmm, not a bad idea, but I'm not sure my sense of humor and style of writing would go down well in

    It's not a school sanctioned trip, it's parents signing their children away for the weekend, then the parents not being there, then the children getting in trouble. No adults, no chaperone, 5 star...

  14. Loco-Parentis

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, but some points to mention - it's even in the school guidelines and the real parents are told that we are parents to these kids. As for being emotionally involved, don't nurses, to some degree,...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I get frustrated at first because people don't see the dilemma I'm trying to show, then realise I should have added more detail to the scenario, so it is my own fault. In this case, I don't see it so...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Did I do wrong in phoning the parents of Girl A even though I meant well? I brought in my values, the way my parents would behave. In this situation I'm a nurse and a parent to the students, which...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    When you're in a boarding school, you're so much more. When parents claim their child is going to be with them, but are lying, and the children get into trouble, often medical trouble with...

    it's a boarding school. The parents sign them off for the weekend, out of our control, then I see them on monday, and pick up the

    'As I said earlier, I don't find the male-to-female ratio relevant in itself,but I am curious why the percentages are so skewed in one direction. Again, where do these kids come from? How do they know...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Many of these kids have been seen more of the world by the time they're 15 than most do in their lifetime. If you've got money, you can get a hotel, go to a nightclub at any age over here. It's not...
