Night Dis


Yeah, VP - you wouldn't know anything about family fights over band members (It's just lucky for Sarah that Edge smiled at you after he smiled and winked at her. otherwise she might've had to walk home )

Given the circumstances, walking home probably would have been a better option for her.

She's just lucky it wasn't Bono. Edge I can deal with - Bono?

I am scared for tomorrow girls! I'm just nervous I'm going to say the wrong thing or not know what to say to patients. I've never dealt with psych patients before.


Someone calm me down!

what do you have to do?

I'm sure you'll do great anyway


breathe in, and out, and in, and out............





did you ever see that documentary about Bellvue (I think that's the name) in NYC?

 

[Sad_Girl]

Holy F!!!!!

Whimper point WANT!!!!

 

[Snooky pie]

Well, maybe it's a good thing then. No family fights over the B-man.

We stil fight over who the best looking one is. I made the mistake of saying something about Edge's wife in front of Lettie and She didn't speak to me for the rest of the night. The poor child was heart broken!

Awww, you'll be fine. You'll have lots of supervision, and besides that, you have very good instincts.

Diane!

Tomorrow is just shadowing one of the RN's on the unit cause it's our first day. Wednesday we get our first patient. Psych is a lot of medication-giving and just talking to patients. Not technical and skill-related like the type of nursing we're used to. I think it's just the unknown that's scary. Thanks Sami!

I haven't seen that documentary...

hi Diane



SG I was watching Rattle and Hum the other day, and I forget what song but at one point I saw Adam- the way he was playing his guitar thought of you and I was like 'hmm, that would make a really good gif!

I'm sure you'll do fine after the first day you'll be more used to it, too

The minute I get back here, I see this^

Why do you tourture me so SG!!!

WHYYYYYYY

I can't even bring myself to think about you-know-who's wife.

But since I saw Zoo Sydney, I've developed a liking for Morleigh. She looks so sweet, and to deal with what they've had to in their family. I just want to give her a big hug...

 

[FlyYourKite]

Thanks girls. I think I'm just afraid of big awkward silences and our instructor has stressed to us multiple times that we need to get over that and embrace them because often times just sitting with patients is therapeutic.

Hi Diane!

 

[Diane L]

VP! SG! Sami!

Sami, I'm so glad your Internet connection is back, we missed you so much!

I wonder what Our Boys are doing for Halloween...probably taking their kiddies trick or treating, then going through the goodie bags and taking the best candy for themselves!

 

[Snooky pie]

VP I'm right there with ya on that
Moreleigh does seem really sweet

 

[sami0201]

thanks Diane!



I always wonder what the boys are doing this very moment
but where would they go trick or treating?

 

[VintagePunk]

Hi Diane!

That's so true. They just want someone to be with them, and listen. I think a lot of how you approach each patient has to do with their particular disorder and the level of cognition they have. Shadowing the RN will let you see how he/she does it, and will probably make you feel very comfortable by the end of the day.

I suddenly have an image of Bono dressed up as a giant fluffy bunny or something, holding out his bag and saying trick or treat

Or attending Larry's b-day party dressed as a kitten.

 

[Sad_Girl]

Larry probably has the hose ready to chase off the trick or treaters who are too old or whose costumes he doesn't like

Hi Plebans!

Halloween candy I have eaten very little--didn't buy any because I just can't have it in the house. Turned out the porch light and went out to dinner with a friend instead of hosting trick or treaters. I'm so mean.

Fly, I've worked with psych patients and you'll be fine. those who are inpatient are sometimes pretty heavily medicated, or are on meds that create some odd side effects (like tardive dyskinesia with schizophrenic patients)...they will have varying levels of interpersonal skills but really, it will be fine and you'll do great.

I was gonna say something too

It certainly depends on the particular patient. I'm sure it will be fine. I always freak out before new clinical rotations

You girls will NOT like me when I start 12 hour shifts next term.

Thanks Ruff! That makes me feel better.

I like and respect Morleigh a lot. She's so beautiful and talented, and she and Edge seem to have a really good marriage. She's practically always smiling in pictures when she's with him, and she looks really happy. And I've worried about her ever since I heard what they are going through...if ever a woman had a perfect life, it was her, and she's now gone through a scary and sad time.

Hi Fly!!!

 

[Snooky pie]

I was gonna say something too

Oh. My. GOD.

Hi Ruff!! I had no candy in the house, just cookies...which I've polished off.

The library was s-l-o-w tonight, so I got to do some proofreading on my freelance work while I was there, which was a lucky break!

 

[sami0201]

can someone say the magic words and make my nose work?!!
