RNs" here - all Nursing.) #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:10

onlinenursing: @EllenRichter wish I was listening 2 that. Instead, 3 kids and husband playing 'rock band'
with Queen going. Not so inspiring #RNChat
1/22/2010 21:11

Nerdnurse: @rnchat T!: Funding. No bucks anymore for psych. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:11

EllenRichter: T1 Not a psyche RN but know the uphill battle trying to get a psych consult on a critical care
patient who needs mental help #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:11

onlinenursing: #RNChat T1: Hurdles-access due to cost (30% of my pt. pool no insurance), 30-40% with
Medicaid (which also means no access to specialists)
1/22/2010 21:12

KPNurseRecruit: @onlinenursing LOL Rockband! #RNChat
1/22/2010 21:12

with care due to fatigue from system restraints!
1/22/2010 21:16

EllenRichter: T1 Sometimes we cant get a psychiatrist to evaluate a Baker Act patient because no one is
on the "call list" anymore! #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:16

Nerdnurse: @onlinenursing Not too compelling to become psych practitioner when battle for money is
so tight and people don't see value of care. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:16

onlinenursing: #RNChat - T1 - Not only "not a real illness" But social stigma in rural health practice, .ALSO,
no one wants 2 see kids

EllenRichter: RT @Nerdnurse: @onlinenursing Not compelling 2 becom psych practitioner when battle for
$$ is so tight & ppl don't see value of care #RNchat

funded for a while in FW. Didn't last. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:18

onlinenursing: #RNChat- MO looking at legislation for psychologists to write RXs. This would be good, but
also raises all new questions about RXs
1/22/2010 21:18

Nerdnurse: @onlinenursing Psychologists writing RXs would be terriﬁc! #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:19

primary doctor describe an acute problem?then refer
1/22/2010 21:19

rnchat: T1 As a follow-up: in your opinions has Psychiatry evolved much in 50 yrs? Or has it been
neurobiology & psychopharm doing legwork? #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:20

Nerdnurse: RT @ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 so overwhelming to pt, give up!not worth going,

counseling and medically manage pts). #RNchat.
1/22/2010 21:21

ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 many primary physicians think they CAN treat psych illness as well! you would
be surprised how many try to take on the role!

Nerdnurse: @rnchat T1 Agree neurobio, psychopharm doing real work--exciting stuff, tho. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:21

onlinenursing: @RNChat Good question! I would agree... look there are no research $s in sociocultural
interventions. Research is where $$$ are. #RNChat.

What can be done to make positive changes? #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:26

ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 this, in the minds of insurance companies, made the care of mental illness,
inpatient, a questionable re-imbursement, forever.
1/22/2010 21:26

onlinenursing: @ocdgirl2000 Good point about outpatient movement (deinstitutionalizing) -also getting
Meds not entire picture. Psych=complex care #RNChat

profession must address & rut out? #RNchat

1/22/2010 21:30

InfusionNurse: T2..lack of professional recognition and respect from other HCP's...still many stereotypes
going on.. #rnchat
1/22/2010 21:30

Nerdnurse: T2 Entry into practice such a hot button, though. Many good nurses disagree. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:31

EllenRichter: T2 The multiple ways of becoming an RN has created dissidence within our profession &
and confusion by outsiders #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:31

rnchat: @onlinenursing That's an highlighting point. Nursing does still seem to retain a holdover
from the inﬂuence Paternalist times. #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:31

EllenRichter: T2 Many of our new nurses are entering advanced practice & that will ﬁll a big need, but
who will work at the bedside in 20 yrs? #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:34

onlinenursing: @InfusionNurse #RNChat - oh yeah... like the receptionist or housekeeping. Tee hee. They
are important, but not a nurse.

KPNurseRecruit: #rnchat some RN programs are as fast as 17 mo...while other hc prof are bach prepared
min. Many PT positions now require PhD

EllenRichter: How true! >> RT @onlinenursing:Look at how many nations have nothing. (relating to RN
education and recognition) #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:35

Nerdnurse: T2 Maybe a renaming would solve entry questions. Different licenses & names for different
degrees. But keep advanced nurses bedside #RNchat
1/22/2010 21:35

onlinenursing: @InfusionNurse #RNChat - how about how they portray nurses on shows like Greys
Anatomy, House, & Private Practice? LUV that. Re: stereotype

EllenRichter: @ocdgirl2000 I agree 100% ...addiction was around long before the internet--if you are
going to get addicted you will ﬁnd something #RNchat

day. #RNchat

ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T3 take a class on "addictions' you'll see!it's a "global" far-reaching thing!& it runs in
families too! from hoarding - workaholism
1/22/2010 22:01

InfusionNurse: T3 ffup..I don't think nursing(profession) is keeping up...individual nurses are, tho only a
handful #rnchat
1/22/2010 22:01

EllenRichter: @RNchat T3 As with all things, there R always the naysayers who resist change (like the
web) & make life that much more difﬁcult ;) #RNchat

onlinenursing: T3 #RNChat -(Re: web literacy)RNs N class c/o having 2 learn 2 blog,twitter,evaluate EHR
sys, & eval websites based on Berkley criteria. :)

RNMark: @EllenRichter Our job becomes harder when we have to correct Internet misinformation or
hype #RNchat
1/22/2010 22:02

EllenRichter: T3 With the advent of EMRs thruout the country, all nurses will be required to deal with
computers, whether they like it or not #RNchat

onlinenursing: @RNMark Hey Mark, welcome 2 #RNChat!
1/22/2010 22:03

Nerdnurse: @RNMark T3 Yes but at least it gives patients talking points with us and helps us help them
talk it through. #RNchat

Nerdnurse: #RNchat T3 Nurses could OWN healthcare on the Internet if we really wanted to step up
and take charge of disseminating information.
1/22/2010 22:04

EllenRichter: @RNMark Yes, I recall last summer having to convince families of ICU pts that the Diprivan
wouldnt kill them!! #RNchat

EllenRichter: @Nerdnurse T3 I agree. We really could take electronic health and run with it in a positive
direction #RNchat
1/22/2010 22:06

KPNurseRecruit: #RNChat RNs met our EMR implementation last Aug with excitement, readiness, and yes,
trepidation. Some even felt it was time to retire

RNMark: @Nerdnurse A reasonable informed patient is great. When they glom onto opinion or other
non science, they take time to re educate #RNChat

Nerdnurse: @RNMark #RNchat T3 Indeed it does take time to re-educate a misinformed pt. Tough
calling, but hopefully it's what we're trained for.
