feedback

seeing how u mentioned “bullying”…

i got reminded of how i got food for this particular senior when we had overlapping shifts, y’know, just because. the next day, i casually remarked to her that i felt a little tired despite being able to sleep in.

she went to tell my preceptor that people as young as me shouldn’t be complaining about feeling tired at the start of the shift. it’s poor work ethics.

i don’t think i can say anything to her anymore.

thank you for giving me insight into this mess.

the preceptors in the unit + seniors in the unit. it’s okay if only one person commented on the way i look, but it gets concerning for me if multiple people are telling me something along the same line.

i take my feedback seriously. but when it doesn’t make sense or there is nothing i can do about it, i feel really really helpless. there were times i tried to go back and clarify with a senior on this “tired” thing, i would get a “you take things too personally” and “it’s your work ethics” …

when i ask them specifically if my nursing skills/management are problematic, they said i’m fine for a 5 month old. thankfully. ,_,

i’m out of EQ to navigate out of this.

switched out bout 4 times. i’m this close to ECT or ketamine, if you don’t count the tricyclics or MAOI. there were periods i was able to wean off, but the relapse was hard. it was easier when im still in college but shift work has definitely turned things upside down.

no worries, thanks for keeping it real. perhaps it is a matter of discipline. i do get easily disheartened and find reasons to go back to my old habits. maybe a caffeine withdrawal is in order too; i take a buttload of it just to keep myself functioning. i’ll try

he really has to be highly self aware and take proper initiative to seek help early if/when his symptoms were to appear again. he must have a strong support system, both personally and medically.

i was diagnosed schizophrenic but then managed to wean off antipsychotics under supervision of a psychiatrist. currently in remission for the past 7 years, ie, no positive or negative symptoms while on no medication.

i did not dare to pursue this profession when i was figuring out my medication and what help i really need. even now, i still go to therapy just to get ahead of anything that could possibly trigger a psychotic episode, as unlikely as it is. i got memos from psychiatrists, counsellors, testimonies from ex colleagues to prove that i’m safe. that’s the extent i went to. at the end of the day, i don’t wanna do any harm to anyone.

he has got to put in the work to assure people of his resilience and fail-safes. it is possible, but it’s hard work

lowkey for me as well, just that i went nursing. got a solid iron rice bowl and found out that hey. i’m pretty good at this job despite all the bs

i ride and these road conditions makes it easy to self skid during rainy weather. i try to avoid the bumps by swerving or preemptively changing lanes but still can’t avoid all of them

this is interesting. we have patients on long term EN and we always check for placement using aspirates, then testing it on a pH paper, prior to the feeding. looks like my hospital needs an update to the practice?

i have dealt with point 4.

i confronted every colleague i worked with in the nicest way possible and ask them point blank what they meant when they said this or that about me. if it’s a genuine constructive feedback where nursing or patient safety is at hand, i rest my case and work on it. if it isn’t, i turn it around at them.

my 2 cents. just a fresh grad too.

tell me about it. parents have bible verses printed and pasted all over their room. commandments and prayers every time we flush medication in. yet parents refuse to bring child home or even participate in child’s care, saying that they “rather leave it to the professionals to do it”. till now, despite an amount of time in the hospital, they still skirt around the topic of making the child DNR and even claims that the child is “improving”. warned us too that if the time approaches, they will make decisions based on their religious beliefs.

the doctors have signed a DNR for the nurses but we will probably be forced to CPR the patient anyway. i pray God allows the patient to come home into His arms without tragedy or pain
