3. rnchat: T1 Domestic Violence - How better (or worse) are healthcare, legal & community systems
doing w/DV? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:08
rnchat: @NursingCenter Know what you mean. :) #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:08
TeriRN: @InfusionNurse UGH! We are needing gopher wood to build an ark. Don't like the rain
hate snow worse. Stay warm and safe. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:08
philbaumann: @EllenRichter We'll probably go over a bit. :) #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:09
joniwatson: T1 In regards to DV within our profession or caring for DV victims or educating and
advocating?? #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:10
chuymatt: T1 From the student pov, it is being presented as something that will be present in all
parts of nursing, s/sx, interventions, etc. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:10
nursingpins: Harder to draw the line between DV and the garden variety - makes it easy to overlook -
#rnchat -
2/5/2010 21:10
KaitlynAliano: RT @rnchat: T1 Domestic Violence - How better (or worse) are healthcare, legal &
community systems doing w/DV? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:10
holisticnurses: I haven't dealth with any DV issues for a long time! Hope that's a good sign. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:11
TeriRN: T1: Still think it isn't getting the attention it needs by all professions involved. Too many
don't want to get involved. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:12
rnchat: @joniwatson All aspects actually - although advocacy key. #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:12
EllenRichter: T1 I am sure ER folks see & screen it much more #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:12
joniwatson: I'm with @EllenRichter...not much experience here. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:12
EllenRichter: T1 @TeriRN yes, the fear of getting involved has always been a problem with many
issues like abuse & addiction #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:13
InfusionNurse: T1 don't deal w/pts but do know of colleagues who are DV victims...unrecognized. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:13
TeriRN: T1: Dtr was victim of DV. ER nurses did good but the legal system I feel let her down due
to not being able to afford a lawyer #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:13

4. holisticnurses: T1 SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) Cert. is a positive step, although not sure
how many ERs, hospitals, home cares utilize #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:13
lisagualtieri: What are the signs to an RN of domestic violence? #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:13
EllenRichter: T1 @TeriRN that is very sad to hear, about the difficulties your child had with that
#RNchat
2/5/2010 21:14
TeriRN: @EllenRichter I've even had managers that "hushed" me when I brought to their attention
a potiental abuse issue. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:14
rnchat: @chuymatt Are they providing any case studies? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:14
holisticnurses: T1 Perhaps the SANE role can broaden to encompass Domestic Violence too. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:15
rnchat: @lisagualtieri Aside from any physical signs, guarded behavior. Abusers tend to be
controlling (charming often too). #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:16
EllenRichter: T1 @lisagualtieri physical abuse usually occurs over long period of time, so black/blue on
the body will be at all stages of healing #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:16
nursingpins: nursingpins The most obvious clue is the reluctance to explain the cause of inj. - the big
problem is not being reported #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:16
ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 ok trying to join in
2/5/2010 21:16
NursingCenter: T1 Not much experience with it, but some of our key ?'s were: When do you feel safe?
When do you not feel safe? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:16
EllenRichter: T1 @holisticnurses Yes, very good point about SANE role as advocate for early
recognition of DV #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:17
TeriRN: @EllenRichter Dtr's husband was ex-cop so he knew how to abuse w/o leaving marks. It
was harder to see until almost to late. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:17
bbesser502: RT @EllenRichter: T1 @lisagualtieri physical abuse usually occurs over long period of

2/5/2010 21:18
TeriRN: @holisticnurses T1: yep. Was reprimanded 4 not talking 2 supervisor B4 calling APS on a

5. suspected abuse 2 a hospice patient. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:18
EllenRichter: T1 Yes @RNchat & @TeriRN Abusers can be very clever to cover up & deceive the
general public #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:19
ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 physical abuse does go hand in hand with addiction, crime, & drugs/dealing
2/5/2010 21:19
nursingpins: T1 small rural hospital ER- nights just nurses and doctors - the abuse is out there - most
I see involves alcohol - not reported #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:19
philbaumann: RT @EllenRichter: T1 @lisagualtieri physical abuse usually occurs over long period of

KaitlynAliano: @TeriRN, wow, reprimanded? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:19
joniwatson: T1: nurses are seen as most trusted professionals; reluctance to speak up to us further
emphasizes need 4 "extreme" advocacy #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:20
TeriRN: @EllenRichter T1: I agree that SANE nurses are a good place to start for early
recognition. #RNChat

ocdgirl2000: #rnchat T1 definitely ETOH involvement almost all of the time.
2/5/2010 21:22
TeriRN: @KaitlynAliano Yep. I didn't make snap decesion. The whole team (SW, RN's & MD)
discussed the case first. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:22
holisticnurses: T1 @TeriRN Sometimes we get bogged down in process. You were advocating. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:22
nursingpins: T1 - some things just need external checks - DV reporting is one of them for most smaller
hospitals #rnchat (at this time)
2/5/2010 21:22
holisticnurses: T1 More regular inservices on DV couldn't hurt. Or educating HHA in homes, PCP
more...etc. #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:23
EllenRichter: T1 @TeriRN if whole team was in agreement, why were you singled out & repremanded?
Plus, isnt it the law to report suspected DV? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:24

6. TeriRN: @holisticnurses The best I could. We were right hubby was trying to justify sex with his
severely demented wife. #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:24
rnchat: Fantastic chat! We'll be moving a long to the next topic in a couple minutes. #RNchat

protective services, custody, adoption..

to 1 side of the story. HIS! #RNChat

rnchat: T2 Nursing News Sources - Where do you get your news on the profession? What are
top sources? How do you stay up-to-date? #RNchat
2/5/2010 21:27
TeriRN: @EllenRichter 1 of my pet peeves. We R told we have 2 report abuse & nurse managers
come down on nurse who does. No upper support #RNChat
2/5/2010 21:27
EllenRichter: T1 @TeriRN Your sad story makes my blood boil! I hate that your manager didnt back
you up, espec when it was the correct thing to do #RNchat

7. nursingpins: T1 may have to be monitored to get ER staff to report cases that should be reported -
much hesitation - many reasons #rnchat
2/5/2010 21:28
ocdgirl2000: #rnchat since when is a Nurse Manager the Judge, Jury, & Social Services Authority?

not better reported #RNChat

holisticnurses: T4 Too many programs used for diff. applications. Programmers need 2 look at a
company's needs, then design programs. RT @JoeCascio #rnchat

nursingpins: @JoeCascio A good ACLS program would be nice - one that would follow changes and
keep up with meds etc. #rnchat

chuymatt: @holisticnurses This makes one wonder if regional dev. of systems may be a better idea.
Every man for themselves is difficult. #rnchat

#rnchat
2/5/2010 22:24
marypoole: @holisticnurses Agree; hubby a nurse at VA; has to use four diff computers to document

less eyestrain. #rnchat

23. KaitlynAliano: @JoeCascio, I don't think the tablet is any different than a phone. It will be once they add
multitasking. #RNchat

could be standardized #rnchat
2/5/2010 22:28
JoeCascio: @chuymatt Gotcha. So bulkiness not an issue vs. improved usability? #rnchat
2/5/2010 22:28
holisticnurses: Goodnight, everyone! You're all lovely, RN's! #rnchat
2/5/2010 22:28
chuymatt: @holisticnurses T4 Thus the regional aspect; you can't expect a system that works for all.
Just has to be all inclusive. #rnchat
2/5/2010 22:28
nursingpins: Thanks Phil #rnchat
2/5/2010 22:28
chuymatt: @JoeCascio The machines will only get lighter. A tired nurse squinting at a tiny phone=
mistakes made. #rnchat

lisagualtieri: RT @philbaumann: @EllenRichter Tonight's #RNchat was awesome.
2/5/2010 22:39
EllenRichter: I do think that EMR has made descriptions of patient situations much less individualized &
much more "canned" (pre-set choices) #RNchat
