    guest52816 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    The patient's mother came forward after she saw the video on her FB feed. From the video, it seems pretty clear that this patient is suffering from some sort of mental illness. The hospital is...

  2. Birds of a feather

    guest52816 replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't feel as though my answer was defensive. You may not have liked it, OP, but it wasn't defensive. I loved working as a psychiatric nurse. So why did I quit? Because I worked for a...

  3. Birds of a feather

    guest52816 replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    The original post was one of the most ridiculous things I have read on this Web Site. First of all, why on earth would the OP think that nurses, or more specifically psychiatric nurses would be any...

  4. Mistakes, overwhelmed, new grad

    guest52816 replied to Welshy101's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, forgive yourself for making these mistakes. You are new, and are expected to make mistakes, not perform like a seasoned nurse. But do try and learn from these situations. You didn't...

  7. Afraid I won't be able to find a new position

    guest52816 replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the first poster who encouraged you to first find out the policy on giving notice. Do you need to give a four-week notice, or is a two-week notice acceptable? I disagree with the poster...

  8. Choosing a job/shift

    guest52816 replied to BriannaJune's topic in General Nursing

    If the only reason you are considering the general medicine position is because it is day shift, DON'T DO IT. The pediatric position is obviously where your passion and interests are, so why would...

    guest52816 replied to RJohn2017's topic in General Nursing

  11. interviewing

    guest52816 replied to RJohn2017's topic in General Nursing

    You certainly have a lot on your plate. Take a deep breathe. How long were you employed before being fired? What specialty is the new job? Just a few questions before I can mull your

  12. Problem with work environment

    guest52816 replied to Flossy73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I completely agree with the other posters who have told you to stop crying in front of your co-workers, stop apologizing for doing your job (as Charge) and start looking for another job. Frankly, what...

  13. Anyone NEVER been hit/hurt working psych?

    guest52816 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

  15. think it's time to leave nursing...

    guest52816 replied to nurseorsomething's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you go next, my dear. But reading through your vent, I felt as though you needed a friendly shoulder lean on, and here I am. I completely understand how you feel, and empathize....

  16. Nursing school essay #2

    guest52816 replied to ashelly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are going to need a lot of grit to make it through nursing school, and then operate as a professional nurse. Instead of focusing on 'dream job,' I would focus on WHY you possess the grittiness...

  17. Uhhhh, That's Kinda Personal

    guest52816 replied to evastone's topic in General Nursing

    A few months ago, a patient asked me if I was married. I replied: No, I am divorced. She then went on to ask if I had children, and again, I replied: No. So the next thing out of her mouth was: Is...

  18. How My Orientation is Going

    guest52816 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's nice that your orientation has been calm thus far. But don't get to used to it! One night, at my teeny-tiny, rural hospital, the SAME nurse had TWO codes in one night, about an hour apart....

  19. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I am going to suggest that the topic be moved to Breakroom section. It has gone from the topic at hand, which I understand is almost impossible to divorce from DJT, to a review of the regime of DJT....

  20. Worried

    guest52816 replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    If you had worked the previous night, then obviously you were tired. That is to be expected. It is especially to be expected if this meeting took place at 0930. As another poster stated, if you...

  21. Worried

    guest52816 replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I am confused. You think they are planning to terminate you because you were falling asleep at a

  22. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I provided a link to how folks at the EPA, which would include scientists are being silenced. Gee, I received no comment back on the evidence I provided. I also provided a fine example of Christian...

    guest52816 replied to JRichmond03's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I worked at a psychiatric facility, a doctor's order was needed to obtain a 1:1. Once the order was in place, it was up to the House Supervisor to secure staffing for the 1:1. More recently, at...

  24. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Here is an article that details what is happening to employees at the EPA who dare to criticize the present administration. You can Google the original NY Times article. Yes, America Rising isn't a...

  25. How do you handle rude comments?

    guest52816 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am very sorry regarding the seemingly rude comments about your mother and sister. I am going to suggest that some of the comments, such as, "did she eat a lot of sugar," have more to do with the...
