Hi just want to introduce myself!!!

Hi, I'm JacknSweetpea....I've been reading posts on this site for nearly two years now. I learn a lot from all of you about all aspects of nursing. I work in a LTC that caters, yes, caters to the mentally ill, and even though I enjoy my work most of the time....it can be trying at times. I've been doing this for 3 yrs. and currently working on an RN degree through a local community college. I'm married, no kids as of yet, but I have cats and dogs that keep me entertained on a daily basis. I just wanted to introduce myself and want to thank everyone for their informative as well as entertaining posts.
nice to meet you, jacknsweetpea. welcome to the club!

Hi!! and welcome. I'm new here, too. You sound a lot like me...

Welcome to the group!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!!! One of these days I will start a thread on catering to the mentally ill. Disclaimer: I'm not poking fun at mentally ill individuals. I am one myself....just not diagnosed (caught) yet. I just get really upset when nurse managers tell a mental patient that it is "okay" for them to put off their Prolixin injection for a week b/c the patient does not want to take it at that time, and the managers are afraid to displease them. I witnessed this happening 2X in the last 2 yrs..
