MOTIVATION | Good Night
Esplicito
https://statstitch.etsy.com We're all getting our asses kicked in nursing school right now. So here is a damn good poem to a damn good beat to remind you to keep fu##ing going to til the very end. because again DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT! ***This song was downloaded from epidemic sound a royalty free music and sound effect service and I DO NOT have the rights to this song. Music: Song: Crash Out [Instrumental] Artist: Bhris Drip & Cushy Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

RANDOM | Why I Don't Like The Show The Pitt and Pt./ Nurse Violence
Esplicito
This is episode will be very unpopular, has political bias and is completely un-educational. if you hold your political values close then this episode is NOT for you. I talk about how the Patient on Nurse Violence, and my opinion on how the issue could be handled. Im not here to argue with you or anyone. these are my opinions and my opinions only. and it is just one view on the issue.

MH | Eating Disorders
Core Disorders & Distinctions Anorexia Nervosa (AN): Characterized by severe restriction of nutritional intake, extreme fear of weight gain, and severely distorted body image. Clients fail to recognize the illness, have an early onset (ages 14-18), and are significantly underweight. Subtypes include restricting (fasting/exercising) and binge-eating/purging. Bulimia Nervosa (BN): Involves recurrent, secretive binging followed by compensatory behaviors like purging, extreme exercise, or laxative use. Onset is later (ages 18-19), and clients are typically at a normal weight. Unlike AN, clients with BN recognize the pathology and experience immense shame and guilt. High-Yield Medical Complications AN: Amenorrhea, cold sensitivity/lanugo, bradycardia, osteoporosis, and severe electrolyte imbalances (e.g., hypokalemia, hyponatremia). BN: Dental enamel erosion, hypokalemia, hypochloremic alkalosis, and esophageal/gastric erosion. Priority Nursing Assessments & Interventions Safety First: Assess directly for suicidal ideation and self-mutilation, as risk is highly elevated. Milieu & Meal Management: Sit with clients during meals and enforce program limits (e.g., liquid protein for uneaten food). Critically, observe clients for 1 to 2 hours after meals to prevent covert purging. Daily Weights: Weigh clients daily upon awakening after voiding, wearing minimal clothing (hospital gown) to prevent them from hiding objects to artificially inflate weight. Therapeutic Communication: Clients often lack emotional self-awareness (alexithymia) and express emotions somatically. Encourage them to describe feelings using a journal. Never discuss food or deep emotional issues during mealtimes; separate emotions from food. Avoid labeling clients or foods as "good" or "bad". Treatment Modalities & Psychopharmacology AN: The immediate priority is medical stabilization (weight restoration, correcting electrolytes) before psychiatric treatment can begin. Family therapy is highly beneficial for clients under 18. Medications have limited success, though Olanzapine can help with weight gain and bizarre body image distortions. BN: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most effective outpatient treatment. Antidepressants, specifically SSRIs like fluoxetine, are effective in reducing binge eating and improving mood. The "Exam Logic" 20% Focus Priority Action: Address life-threatening medical issues (bradycardia, hypokalemia) and suicide risk first. Milieu Safety: Supervise meals and restrict unsupervised bathroom access to stop the purging cycle. Best Therapeutic Response: Remain empathetic but nonjudgmental; set limits on eating behaviors and focus interactions on strengths unrelated to body size.
