TeriRN:

@EllenRichter We'll probably go over a bit. :) #RNchat2/5/2010 21:09

philbaumann:

T1 In regards to DV within our profession or caring for DV victims or educating andadvocating?? #rnchat2/5/2010 21:10

joniwatson:

T1 From the student pov, it is being presented as something that will be present in allparts of nursing, s/sx, interventions, etc. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:10

chuymatt:

Harder to draw the line between DV and the garden variety - makes it easy to overlook -#rnchat -2/5/2010 21:10

nursingpins:

RT @rnchat: T1 Domestic Violence - How better (or worse) are healthcare, legal &community systems doing w/DV? #RNchat2/5/2010 21:10

KaitlynAliano:

I haven't dealth with any DV issues for a long time! Hope that's a good sign. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:11

holisticnurses:

T1: Still think it isn't getting the attention it needs by all professions involved. Too manydon't want to get involved. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:12

TeriRN:

@joniwatson All aspects actually - although advocacy key. #RNchat2/5/2010 21:12

rnchat:

T1 I am sure ER folks see & screen it much more #RNchat2/5/2010 21:12

EllenRichter:

I'm with @EllenRichter...not much experience here. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:12

joniwatson:

T1 @TeriRN yes, the fear of getting involved has always been a problem with manyissues like abuse & addiction #RNchat2/5/2010 21:13

EllenRichter:

T1 don't deal w/pts but do know of colleagues who are DV victims...unrecognized. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:13

InfusionNurse:

T1: Dtr was victim of DV. ER nurses did good but the legal system I feel let her down dueto not being able to afford a lawyer #RNChat2/5/2010 21:13

TeriRN:

T1 SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) Cert. is a positive step, although not surehow many ERs, hospitals, home cares utilize #rnchat2/5/2010 21:13

holisticnurses:

What are the signs to an RN of domestic violence? #rnchat2/5/2010 21:13

lisagualtieri:

T1 @TeriRN that is very sad to hear, about the difficulties your child had with that#RNchat2/5/2010 21:14

EllenRichter:

@EllenRichter I've even had managers that "hushed" me when I brought to their attentiona potiental abuse issue. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:14

TeriRN:

@chuymatt Are they providing any case studies? #RNchat2/5/2010 21:14

rnchat:

T1 Perhaps the SANE role can broaden to encompass Domestic Violence too. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:15

holisticnurses:

@lisagualtieri Aside from any physical signs, guarded behavior. Abusers tend to becontrolling (charming often too). #RNchat2/5/2010 21:16

rnchat:

T1 @lisagualtieri physical abuse usually occurs over long period of time, so black/blue onthe body will be at all stages of healing #RNchat2/5/2010 21:16

EllenRichter:

nursingpins The most obvious clue is the reluctance to explain the cause of inj. - the bigproblem is not being reported #rnchat2/5/2010 21:16

nursingpins:

#rnchat T1 ok trying to join in2/5/2010 21:16

ocdgirl2000:

T1 Not much experience with it, but some of our key ?'s were: When do you feel safe?When do you not feel safe? #RNchat2/5/2010 21:16

NursingCenter:

T1 @holisticnurses Yes, very good point about SANE role as advocate for earlyrecognition of DV #RNchat2/5/2010 21:17

EllenRichter:

@EllenRichter Dtr's husband was ex-cop so he knew how to abuse w/o leaving marks. Itwas harder to see until almost to late. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:17

TeriRN:

RT @EllenRichter: T1 @lisagualtieri physical abuse usually occurs over long period oftime, so black/blue on the body will be at all stages of healing #RNchat2/5/2010 21:18

T1 Yes @RNchat & @TeriRN Abusers can be very clever to cover up & deceive thegeneral public #RNchat2/5/2010 21:19

EllenRichter:

#rnchat T1 physical abuse does go hand in hand with addiction, crime, & drugs/dealing2/5/2010 21:19

ocdgirl2000:

T1 small rural hospital ER- nights just nurses and doctors - the abuse is out there - mostI see involves alcohol - not reported #rnchat2/5/2010 21:19

philbaumann:

@TeriRN, wow, reprimanded? #RNchat2/5/2010 21:19

KaitlynAliano:

T1: nurses are seen as most trusted professionals; reluctance to speak up to us furtheremphasizes need 4 "extreme" advocacy #rnchat2/5/2010 21:20

joniwatson:

@EllenRichter T1: I agree that SANE nurses are a good place to start for earlyrecognition. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:20

@KaitlynAliano Yep. I didn't make snap decesion. The whole team (SW, RN's & MD)discussed the case first. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:22

TeriRN:

T1 @TeriRN Sometimes we get bogged down in process. You were advocating. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:22

holisticnurses:

T1 - some things just need external checks - DV reporting is one of them for most smallerhospitals #rnchat (at this time)2/5/2010 21:22

nursingpins:

T1 More regular inservices on DV couldn't hurt. Or educating HHA in homes, PCPmore...etc. #rnchat2/5/2010 21:23

holisticnurses:

T1 @TeriRN if whole team was in agreement, why were you singled out & repremanded?Plus, isnt it the law to report suspected DV? #RNchat2/5/2010 21:24

EllenRichter:

@holisticnurses The best I could. We were right hubby was trying to justify sex with hisseverely demented wife. #RNChat2/5/2010 21:24

lisagualtieri:

I do think that EMR has made descriptions of patient situations much less individualized &much more "canned" (pre-set choices) #RNchat2/5/2010 22:39
