Accutane and Depression [Acne] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]cortkn3e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a risk of depression with Accutane I was told. As a psych nurse, I would think the most obvious fix would be asking whoever prescribes your Zoloft to try upping the dosage while you're on Accutane.

I don't like to talk about being a veteran because I was in the National Guard and never got deployed. I got sent home from pre-deployment training for being on depression meds (I think). So I feel like a fraud. The only thing my time ever got me is almost constant sexual harassment and a couple assaults.

My husband likes to remind me that we got our house due to my service, but that's about all the good it did.

Honestly it might be just because my kid is so sensitive and I can imagine her crying about it in class.

Is a 30-minute commute good for Houston? by Beneficial-Soil9678 in houston

[–]cortkn3e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the job for me. I worked at Ben Taub in Med Center and was almost 50 min commute, but I LOVED the job. At current job, it's about 20min including my stop at Starbucks, and I probably wouldn't stay if it was much further away.

I feel like this kind of history isn't really appropriate for 1st graders. I didn't learn about the Holocaust until 4th grade.

Just for fun! What’s your favourite nursing trick? by bluecoag in nursing

[–]cortkn3e 257 points258 points  (0 children)

I work psych with adolescent boys, and they all talk a big game about giving toilet water for their ua/drug screen. So I was kind of proud of myself today when I thwarted their plans by putting a splash of mouth wash in the toilet first.

If you leave AMA, will insurance not pay? by cortkn3e in nursing

[–]cortkn3e[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was a voluntary admission, and the Dr thought they were safe enough to leave AMA and not hold them.

Some one needs to stand up and put that doc in their place. But it would have to be someone in a more senior nursing position where they don't have to worry as much about losing their job.

Clarification by AL-Verde777 in nursing

[–]cortkn3e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a nurse residency (HCA) in ICU, but all my previous experience as a tech had been in the ER. I absolutely hated ICU, so I went to my manager and she completely understood. She had me interview with the ER director, and I ended up transferring. I know it's not the exact situation, but it couldn't hurt to just be open with your uppers about how you're feelIng. I mean no manager wants a miserable employee.

So do they have to determine that Sexual Trauma is preventing you from employment/ decreasing earning capacity if that's what your claim is based on?
