1. Not so sure about psych anymore

   Jusween replied to TerpGal02's topic in Psychiatric

   That is egregious! This individual committed a crime against you. While the team may elect to continue to treat him, he should be precluded from coming to the office or approaching anyone who is not...

2. Don't do the physicians work!

   Jusween replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Really? It is what it is? Abstract knowledge is hardly worth anything if it is not correctly utilized. Nursing has presumably evolved from handmaiden to a profession in its own right. Nurses who...

   Jusween replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   The fact is that both truck driving and nursing are potentially hazardous and require concentration and focus. If you read the research on napping and cognitive abilities, there are multiple peer...

4. power struggles

   Jusween replied to TerpGal02's topic in Psychiatric

   Many people scoff at trauma informed care but having worked in psych since the 80s I believe it is the single most efficacious model for nursing, behavioral or medical. Trauma informed care...

5. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

   Jusween replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

   "Way more harder?" The level of incoherence and the breadth of ignorance that I am witnessing leaves me speechless. No one who conducts themselves in this type of antagonistic, misinformed and...

   Jusween replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

   As as I said, you're obviously not a nurse. You are hardly

7. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

   Jusween replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

   If your nursing skills are as adept as your writing abilities then you are correct. You don't deserve a professional salary if you can't spell or compose a coherent sentence. For those of us who...

8. When does staff rights start

   Jusween replied to Sniper06's topic in Psychiatric

   This scenario infuriates me. Law enforcement is not charged with the responsibility of determining a patient's psychological competence prior to arrest. That decision rests with a judge or jury after...

9. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

   Jusween replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

   Your economics class apparently didn't cover perception and marketing as well as the sociopolitical nuances of labor. You may perceive yourself as a barely literate handmaiden to the almighty healer,...

10. What's In A Name Badge?

    Jusween replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    An RN is the minimal level of licensure for a professional nurse. Adding your degree, unless it's a graduate degree, is superfluous and only useful when a hospital is trying to achieve magnet status...

11. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Jusween replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try searching baccalaureate PA programs and you can find them, although you are correct in stating that the trend is towards graduate preparation. The academy itself prefers a Masters degree but...

12. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Jusween replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, all PA programs are not masters level. They are baccalaureates or masters depending on the school. Acceptance simply requires two years of college level study. Alternatively, all NP...

13. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Jusween replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Establishing rapport does not include creating an alliance by denigrating another member of the team. That's simply childish and unprofessional. At 3AM, unless the pt. is fully alert and asks, I would...

14. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Jusween replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reading your post I can make three interpretations: (1) people who are oppressed often identify with the aggressor. (2) people who are not centered in themselves try to increase their self worth by...

15. Psych nursing is easy

    Jusween replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Psychiatric

    Nickfitz1969, I don't believe that the author was suggesting that medications are a panacea for psychotherapy and adjunct modalities. However I would suggest that you take a little time travel back to...
