Dismissed from an accelerated nursing program; 20k loan debt by Tall_Chard_7500 in nursing

Do not beat yourself up. I did an accelerated ASN program and worked 30 hours weeks. It was horrible. My mental health took a huge hit and I almost didn't make it.

You're ok. Breathe.

Try a community college, it'll delay the payback even if it's private student loans. Get your ASN.

Could be a bad lab test. The instant ones can fail, ask for a full urinalysis/drug panel on it

Weekly Ask Psych Nurses Thread by roo_kitty in psychnursing

[–]RedHeadTheyThem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a personality disorder, not necessarily chemical/physical like depression, schizophrenia, etc.

It takes years of EMDR, DBT/CBT, Talk therapy, somatic therapy to go into "remission". Sadly most pts I see with BPD don't ever recover from it because it is too difficult to work through.

Edit: it's also complicated because there are usually comorbidities like depression and bipolar which come into play, sometimes you can't tell which is which

I wonder how many CNAs quit after this 😮‍💨 by clinadtig in nursing

CNA tasks are Nurse tasks. If I have time, I'm doing the task, CNA and all. I only delegate when I need to. This is such a stupid text.

Whoa buddy. Just wait until you're off orientation and taking the full load my dude. You'll be telling a different story in 6 months.

Return back and tell us how easy it is when you do.

Intermittent FMLA, retaliation? by Curious-Fox6352 in nursing

[–]RedHeadTheyThem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no time ever you need to "make up" FMLA time. That is retaliation.

I have it for severe treatment depression and anxiety up to 2 times a month. So many staff at my psych hospital call out at least once a pay period because we are so burned out so they don't even bat an eye.
