MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in Psychiatric
Wonderful replies, thank you all so much for weighing in on this topic and my personal situation. I returned to work, and sharing the former patient's actions, we are all shocked by her choices. I...
Good morning, nurses. I started my career as a nurse in an up and coming psychiatric hospital. During nursing school, I developed a passion for mental health and for advocating for patient rights...
Also, that being said, I've talked with many LPNs during my clinicals who are quite happy with what they are doing now, and actively decided not to go the RN route. It might help you to do some...
You may thank yourself in the future is you simply pursue ADN or BSN from the start. Perhaps you could consider a community college (where you can earn ADN), and attend academic coaching or join a...
I am a student at this point, but based on what I have learned thus far, pain does indeed have many physiologic implications. The stimulus of pain causes fluctuations of neurotransmitters, which in...
Firstly, sorry you found my posts difficult to follow. I did include a lot of information (I know I certainly vented a lot). That being said, I'm not sure you got the gist of the entire situation. I...

Update:: This clinical is now over. A few other things did happen that I feel shouldn't have, such as being passively being accused of smoking in the hospital elevator, as well the suggestion that I...
Ugh earlier this semester, I had a presentation that was to make up about 3-5% of my grade. The topics were assigned, and unfortunately, all of the topics that were created for one student a piece...
Thank you all for the feedback. I spoke to a school counselor, who is also a Doc with 25+ years of experience, so I would think his perspective will carry weight. He will be talking with the academic...
She may not have meant any offense. Loans really are a huge concern, and Nursing School actually DOES take up your free time (and often cuts into your beauty sleep) These days, my weekends consist of...
So I have a "situation" with my clinical instructor. This happened last week, and I have purposely waited until now to seek help because I was pretty upset by what had happened. I need some advice on...
