  1. He's a nurse, let's get him to do the IMs

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I'm working for an organization that provides residential and clinical services to the mentally ill. I'm the RN on a clinical resource team. We provide educational interventions and support for...

  2. How do you deal??

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Psychiatric

    I too know what you mean. I've worked on a unit with some nurses that seemed to have forgotten why they got into the line of work they are in. Hello? I get that you've been at it a long time. I get...

  3. Why I'm a psych nurse, or I why I couldn't be any other kind.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    It's been a long road to get here. Last night I had a dream that I was bad at my job and was being replaced, passed over for promotion, and then locked down by the powers that be on a subway platform...

  4. Why I'm a psych nurse, or I why I couldn't be any other kind.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Psychiatric

    It's a long story, but suffice it to say that my instructors felt I'd stepped outside the boundaries of my role as a student nurse, after the nurses on the unit told them about the conversation I'd...

  5. Why I'm a psych nurse, or I why I couldn't be any other kind.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks for the replies. Sometimes I find writing about how I got here helps me figure out where I am at the

  6. psych HH with no psych experience

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Psychiatric

    That's the nail being hit squarely on the head. It takes a certain kind of nurse to work psych. It takes an understanding of the conditions, symptoms, behaviors, and an ability to look beyond what...

  7. Any happy psych nurses?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Hsmommy's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm a happy psych nurse, most of the time. When I worked on an inpatient psych unit, I was happiest when I had the chance to spend time talking with my patients. I could do without the politics of the...

  8. He's a nurse, let's get him to do the IMs

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Psychiatric

    So tomorrow makes 2 weeks since I gave the IM. Nobody has said anything about it to me since. Then this morning, the clinic director sends me a reminder email saying the patient is due for her IM...

  9. Violence in Psychiatric Nursing

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Mashira's topic in Psychiatric

    And another thing, sparked by something I heard about the other day. We hope we're alert. But after numerous shifts, sometimes we're not. We don't always keep on our toes, but we hope that the unit as...

  10. Violence in Psychiatric Nursing

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Mashira's topic in Psychiatric

    One of the things to remember about nursing in general, is that the nurse gets report. One would hope that when shift change happens, anything that occurs with a patient or information on new patients...

  11. He's a nurse, let's get him to do the IMs

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Psychiatric

    So I came in this chilly monday morning to find an email from the senior VP to the clinic director, with a CC to me and my team leader saying "we've verified that our nurses are covered with...

  12. What is psych nursing like exactly?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to Nurse4life09's topic in Psychiatric

    Let's see... I've done psych nursing two different ways now. I spent maybe six months working on a renal unit/med surge environment after graduation, and it wasn't for me. I wanted to be a psych nurse...

  13. He's a nurse, let's get him to do the IMs

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi, Thanks to those that replied. An update on the situation: I called a nurse consultant that used to work with us here, and she agreed that what was being proposed (stepping outside my oversight...

  14. Lets get him to give the IMs, he's a nurse.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    I'm working for an organization that provides residential and clinical services to the mentally ill. I'm the RN on a clinical resource team. We provide educational interventions and support for...

  15. My group home experience, at least it inspired me to create.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Hi all, I'm an RN since 2007, and I worked six months or so on a med surg unit, then transferred to psych where I worked 13 months. I enjoyed working with the population, there was an issue with staff...

  16. Been away for a while, but looking for support.

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hello there fellas... Been away from allnurses for a while. I'm a psych nurse now, and for the most part I like my job. I'm told that I'm good at it, by some peers, and bosses, and most importantly,...

  17. Been away for a while, but looking for support.

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, it's been a while since this all went down. Here's how it played out. The coworker was spoken to, and there's no talk of whether she denied it. They actually let the schedule play out as planned...

  18. Question guys...what field of nursing are you going into?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I did a two-month stint at a nursing home. I liked my residents (patient was not the term used). I felt like all I could do for them all day was dispense meds. There was no time to give them what many...

  19. Question guys...what field of nursing are you going into?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As you go through the rotations in school, you hear that one area might appeal to you, and you might say "this is for me". I enjoyed the psych rotation. That was where I felt I did the most for...

  20. It's 48 hours after the test ended!

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had some pretty anxious posts up here in the last panic ridden hours. I scoured this board for clues as to when I'd know, how I might have done. I got all bent out of shape, and my head still hurts....

  21. What's the real deal with Quick Results???

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Last year when I took my NCLEX PN on Friday October 13 the results were up by Sunday, if I remember correctly. I know they'd told me last year it'd take two business days, but it did go up over the...

  22. It's 1:15 AM, do you know where your NCLEX results are?

    NurseDaddy2006 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my NCLEX RN on Saturday. The 13th. Now I find myself sitting here hitting refresh on the PearsonVue site, hoping it'll pop back up with something other than "Your exam results are not available...

  23. How many got only 75 questions?

    NurseDaddy2006 replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just sat down and read through all of these posts. Yup, all 25 pages worth. That's because I took the NCLEX-RN today and thought that I failed. I called a buddy of mine who just took it a few weeks...
