    arbasham3363 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have just graduated with an MSN in Nursing Education. I'm updating my resume and email signatures and I wondered if anyone can tell me the difference (if there is one) between just the MSN and the...

  8. Milieu Disruptive Behavior

    arbasham3363 replied to arbasham3363's topic in Psychiatric

    Meriwhen, I agree with you 100%. The bad thing is I have absolutely no control over what staff I get. The two women's units have the worst reputation in the facility and no one wants to work there....

    arbasham3363 replied to arbasham3363's topic in Psychiatric

    I absolutely agree that the boundaries are out of control on my unit. It seems to be an issue with the system. I have educated and trained my staff ad nauseam on personality disorders and...
