Nerds are cool - but I am afraid that Fifty Shades of Grey got quite a few bad reviews here and was the butt of many jokes and memes.So...I have to know, is anyone truly my kind of obscure nerd? Totally stoked for the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie. Loved the book. Tell me I'm not alone!

..Northeast Ohio huh?...considering the state of law enforcement up there, they should make a flick called Fifty Shades of Black & Blue......welcome for a fellow Buckeye...So...I have to know, is anyone truly my kind of obscure nerd?

...and good luck ever getting an order for restraints unless you get into Mental Health...around here, MD's are very reluctant to order them for fear of being sued, even when the family is begging them to do it-so their family member doesn't harm themselves....at least being a Correctional Nurse as I am, restraints like cuffs and leg irons are expected...I think freak, or crazy...or weird for added to my nerd status in class the other day... Lab topic was patient positioning, which included applying and securing restraints. Adding up all my posts on the thread song game it's easy to tell my song palate is...diverse... it's also random and perpetua--trust me. The whole time my clinical director is demonstrating with the worst cuffs "Tie your mother down" is playing in my head. I had to ask if anyone else was singing it and every one, instructor included, stopped and stared at me. No one had even heard of the song! WT»¥®*??
I'm studying respiratory therapy so my boyfriend was just like "why in the hell will you need to learn to restrain someone?" My favorite Anatomy professor was a corrections nurse before he came to Kent. He never really got into any stories, but I'm sure they were there....and good luck ever getting an order for restraints unless you get into Mental Health...around here, MD's are very reluctant to order them for fear of being sued, even when the family is begging them to do it-so their family member doesn't harm themselves....at least being a Correctional Nurse as I am, restraints like cuffs and leg irons are expected...
...indeed. there are...it's just that most folks would think I was making them up....and though it's an honest question from your boyfriend-there would be times, on confused and or dementia patients when soft wrist restraints would be welcome, while you try to give them their treatments without worry of the masks or cannulas being repeatedly pulled off....I'm studying respiratory therapy so my boyfriend was just like "why in the hell will you need to learn to restrain someone?"

Never been there myself but I can only imagine the panic and distress involved in someone who is freaking out and needs to be restrained - I think as a prison nurse you definitely have the proper body habitus for that job!...indeed. there are...it's just that most folks would think I was making them up....
You know what? I no longer work in the PsycHealth Department of HSC, having moved over to the Medical Records Department in the main hospital....and good luck ever getting an order for restraints unless you get into Mental Health...around here, MD's are very reluctant to order them for fear of being sued, even when the family is begging them to do it-so their family member doesn't harm themselves....at least being a Correctional Nurse as I am, restraints like cuffs and leg irons are expected...
...I attempt to be very aware of where I am in relation to inmates, and paths of exit or defense if needed-however when responding to an injury or incident in a dorm, it's problematic because there are 250 inmates to a floor in the housing unit and only two of us, the regular 2 dorm C.O.'s and maybe a yard dog(which is what I call the Officers who work the yard) or two...I always keep my fingers crossed that all don't decide to go off at once-because, we're dead in that case...in the Infirmary, I watch out for my team very carefully...and normally if there has been trouble-the inmates are cuffed...Never been there myself but I can only imagine the panic and distress involved in someone who is freaking out and needs to be restrained - I think as a prison nurse you definitely have the proper body habitus for that job!

Kudos to you Scott - they don't pay you enough - you should get danger pay (seriously)!...I attempt to be very aware of where I am in relation to inmates, and paths of exit or defense if needed-however when responding to an injury or incident in a dorm, it's problematic because there are 250 inmates to a floor in the housing unit and only two of us, the regular 2 dorm C.O.'s and maybe a yard dog(which is what I call the Officers who work the yard) or two...I always keep my fingers crossed that all don't decide to go off at once-because, we're dead in that case...in the Infirmary, I watch out for my team very carefully...and normally if there has been trouble-the inmates are cuffed...
...oh they pay me very well, but I'm not sure we collect hazard pay...Kudos to you Scott - they don't pay you enough - you should get danger pay (seriously)!
My dad was one of these people who reacted very badly to medicine. His appendix ruptured when I was a baby and he was in the hospital for a month. (nowadays they would send them home in an hour!) But, some medicine they used on him, he became very active and mean. And my dad was the sweetest man I have ever met. They had to restrain him. The doctor asked my mother if he always acted like that and my mom said, "I don't know who that guy is!" lol!...indeed. there are...it's just that most folks would think I was making them up....and though it's an honest question from your boyfriend-there would be times, on confused and or dementia patients when soft wrist restraints would be welcome, while you try to give them their treatments without worry of the masks or cannulas being repeatedly pulled off....
...it's why I am a proponent of restraints, AND proper monitoring of same....any number of things can cause someone is as normally as placid and sweet as your Dad, to become a complete in utter whackjob in very little time...My dad was one of these people who reacted very badly to medicine.

Also, when he had his final heart attack, he was in ICU heavily drugged and ripped out the lines that were IN his heart. I'm sure it contributed to his death.
When my siblings and I go to doctors that want to do any procedures that include pain killers, anesthesia or relaxants especially, we always tell me about our dad as we don't know if we might have the same bad reactions. A family link or just an individual thing?...it's why I am a proponent of restraints, AND proper monitoring of same....any number of things can cause someone is as normally as placid and sweet as your Dad, to become a complete in utter whackjob in very little time...
