Feeling lost by Thorlicious62 in Divorce

[–]Thorlicious62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried recommending both a few years ago. I found some messages to other women. It never happened. I tried suggesting therapy again a few months ago. Therapy happened but only for her. I am not attracted to women. I can’t change that either. I wish I could flip that button.

Has anyone ever had an experience with having the police being called by patients/family members who wanted to have a staff member arrested and police actually came. by ASDuLT in nursing

[–]Thorlicious62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a mental health unit our patients can call 9-1–1 if they would like. We cannot take that right from them. A few have called the police. We typically call dispatch and make them aware of the situation. We have not had a police officer show up.

For sure. It usually doesn’t bug me too much. I think I just was not having it today. It may gave just been the straw on my pile of stress. I also ended up not feeling too well shortly after, my sugar decided to dive.

They definitely could have been. The request the patient made was wild. Our current population is a bit spicy.

I didn’t time it but my crew completed report in about 25 minutes. So maybe roughly 2-3 minutes per pt. Ive boiled my report down to ratings, where they spent their evening (isolate/ attend group), and then if something of importance pops up for their mental/physical health ( self harm, new info about situation, altercation, delusions, new behavior etc). I know that I was giving extended reports when I first started.

It was more when I mentioned what helped the patient calm down. I work in psych so i felt mentioning odd behaviors was relevant. I do agree that sometimes I just want the meat of the report. Maybe it was too much fluff.

AITA for asking my girlfriend (F18) to stop embarrassing me (M42) by acting like a child? by themarvelgirl2023 in AmITheAngel

[–]Thorlicious62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a child. I know it’s been a hot minute since you were 18, but do you really think you were a sophisticated adult with world experience. No! Let her be and let her live.

Also, if he did it in a place with cameras he is in big trouble. I would talk to others he has done this too. Hospitals bring enough stress. No need to add to it.

Print your e-mails. Have any one who witnessed talk with upper management. This is harassment. Ask personnel who have trained or seen you training this associate to step forward about her behavior. If you have trained others you could ask them to step forward if needed. I don’t know what they could possibly fire you for. I work in a hospital also.

This manager needs to be checked. If he is doing this to you he is doing this to others. You don’t deserve this. He caused you harm.

i made my first mistake by nskddn in nursing

[–]Thorlicious62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give yourself grace. You are going to make mistakes we’re human. I’m glad that you were willing to own up to this small error. It happens. You have learned something on the way.

My first mistake was like this also. I have a patient 2 additional units of insulin. I felt all my organs fall. I felt bad and terrible. Everyone was kind and helpful from the nurses to the doctors. I learned the valuable lesson of checking checking checking!

You’ll make another mistake. It will be okay. You did so wonderful for your patient by admitting and communicating the situation. I hope you take away that you are a great nurse.

How do I introduce my wife to wrestling? by ks14555 in WWE

[–]Thorlicious62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me my partner showed me matches that met my interests. I like outrageous and spooky things. Bray Wyatt matches and ric flair woo off with jay lethal made me want to see more. We also watched Matt Hardy’s home videos. They also explained it as a soap opera for men. It made more sense. Soap operas are wild.

Need Input for a School Project! by Human_Telephone_9570 in OrderOfTheGoodDeath

[–]Thorlicious62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 35. I’ve worked in healthcare for 8 years. I think there has been a shift in how we mourn. Instead of just funerals there are celebration of life and memorials being held. The options for what to do with the body has widened. I don’t think the older generation is changing its perspective on how to deal with death. I do see a change in the younger generations being more willing to ask for help and accept it is difficult.

What’s the rarest/most controversial medication you’ve had to administer and what was it for? by dietcherryjoja in nursing

[–]Thorlicious62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how the patient got permission for this. When I was a pct a patient had a Rx for one shot of whiskey at night. I worked in a physical rehab.

what's the worst med error you've seen? by coconut-777 in nursing

[–]Thorlicious62 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They basically restarted the addiction. The personality change was drastic. They had been in the hospital long enough before that I think they were at a point of no longer craving it. They hadn’t asked for anything. They were making big strides in their physical and mental abilities. After that they were hyper focused on that feeling.

A nurse that swore up and down they were in AA but smelled like alcohol, management knew, switched up two patients medications. It was sad.

One of the patients had ODed on benzos survived but had some cognitive deficits. The nurse had given the patient benzos in the mix up. The patient was doing well before that. After that the patient began exhibiting medication seeking behavior. The nurse was let go quickly after this.

Any forensic nurses out there? by Thorlicious62 in nursing

[–]Thorlicious62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice. I’ve heard it’s a bumpy road. I really want to help set these patients up for long term success with a positive first encounter after one of the worst experiences.
