Seeking Nurse Psychotherapist Point of Veiw
Davey Do stated so eloquently why I refused to give up my LPN status. The patient exposure fulfilled what I was meant to do in my life. The one on one interactions were priceless and not having to deal with administrative BS kept me where I wanted to be. Even with the promotion I received, being the Executive Director, I was able to maintain my "dream job" and help my patients. This may help you decide your future, KatieB. Good luck!

I'm so ashamed of myself
You have nothing to be ashamed of. in the least! I agree with you. Why these Hilton Hospitals don't restrict/ or enforce visiting hours is beyond me . Some times I wonder if the patient is waiting for the nurse to intervene and ask the visitors to leave. How does one do that tactfully?

Incorrigible
Davey Do. I sit here with tears in my eyes with the devastating news you received about you little sister. She is in my prayers and sending healing thoughts. I know you will be there for her. Isn't it strange how things are working out?

To kill or not to kill... another person dream?
KatieMI, you mentioned in an earlier post that you and your DH were meeting with the teen and her father. What was the result of that meeting? Hope you are continuing to do better.

To kill or not to kill... another person dream?
KathyMI, I am so sorry you had to go through this life threatening situation and that you are on the way to a complete recovery. Who did this cute little demonic chick fess up to? I hope it was someone in the medical field who were attempting to save your life. The reason I asked, if so, I believe that person could testify to the event. IMHO, I feel she should be charged with attempted murder. That would keep her away from so many unsuspecting, vulnerable patients. I implore you to talk to an attorney. I know you are in a precarious position with your DH working with this clod of a father. There must be some way to get this girl banned from at least the nursing profession, What is your DH saying about this event? Is he aware that he almost lost you? Perhaps it is time for you to weigh the circumstances and decide what is more important. Please keep us informed on your recovery and the outcome of this travesty. I wish for the best for you and DH in this untenable travesty. Take care...

AMA Looks to Retrain Doctors on Taking Blood Pressures
My PMP always checks my BP with her own cuff...it's always amazed me. When I was taught BPing, we were told never to put your thumb on the stethoscope hub because your own pulse may be what is being recorded. Has anyone ever been taught this? Countless people almost always put their thumb on it when they take mine.

Fired for False Workplace Violence Accusation - Feeling Humiliated and Shamed
OP, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this, and all the extenuating circumstances, it is blatantly a set-up. I hope you can get a lawyer to see if you have a viable case, (maybe a free consult?). Are there any out-patient surgical clinics in your area? That could be a source for employment. I wish you the best.
