Well, it has been an exciting a year and I am happy to say that my work here is done. I have successfully developed a treatment for Restless Nurse Syndrome, thanks to Lacidem and travel nursing. To learn more I suggest you visit RestlessNurseSyndrome.com.

Hi folks, Dr. T. here.  If you’re wondering how far I’ll actually go to address the causes and symptoms of Restless Nurse Syndrome, you should watch this video! If you’re wondering what it looks like for two grown, professional men to do kung fu fighting in broad daylight, then you should watch this video! If you have a strange fascination with mummies, then you should watch this video!

(If you’re wondering what Ricky T. and I were saying to each other during the fight before our voices were overdubbed, well, you’re out of luck.)

Dear Doctor Turbatus,

I have a question for you concerning your diagnosis of Restless Nurse Syndrome. From the chart I received at the AACN Conference, I took notice of your Nofriendleosis strain. I’m not quite sure what this means… I do have friends, but I’m not saying I’m popular. Please explain.

Cheers - Ms. Understood

Dear Ms. Understood,

Okay, okay… So you have friends, but do you like them? Of course, most of us have friends… But you can always make new ones. Meeting new people is the greatest thing about life! You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know how much you can learn from the folks you meet. Sometimes you may even run into folks that may already have a connection to your network of friends. 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon anyone? Travel nursing is the perfect opportunity to do just that, expand your network. While on assignment you will meet many new faces, all with different experiences and backgrounds. This can only lead to making you a well rounded person, one who is able to accept the many differences we each share. I don’t know many people like the characters on ‘Friends’, if it were me… I would have got real tired of Chandlers lame jokes and Phobe’s inability to do anything normal. There’s a great big world out there so open your arms and welcome it!

Until next time. Be well.

So, as you know I was in Chicago this past week for the AACN/NTI Expo. On my flight home I of course added to my collection of Air Sickness bags… Not to bag on the airline, which I won’t disclose (ding!), but c’mon folks, could you at least add some sort of design element? A plain white bag is not that appealing, I mean, let’s make it into something that I would actually like to use! Besides that, all went well. I finally got to do something that I’ve wanted to since that last trip with my nanna. I was invited to the cockpit and got to see what the pilot does up there, they even gave me my very own set of wings! How cool is that? So now it is official, I am an honorary pilot!!!

Today I’m flying back from the AACN NTI Conference, where I diagnosed many nurses with Restless Nurse Syndrome. I hope I can find a good air sickness bag on the plane to add to my collection.

I have been at the AACN NTI conference diagnosing nurses with Restless Nurse Syndrome and I am very worried for the state of nurses in this country. This epidemic is more widespread than I expected. This has led me to hypothesize that perhaps this is in fact a viral virus that can spread. Could I develop a vaccine? Hmmmmmm? (more…)

Happy Nurses Week everyone! May 6, 2008

Unless you have nurse Restless Nurse Syndrome, then it probably isn’t very happy. But I hope that this week finds you happy you deserve it.

Restless Nurse Syndrome Question of the Week April 10, 2008

Posted by Dr. Turbatus in : RNS Question of the Week , add a comment

Dear Dr. Tubatus,

How does travel nursing cure Restless Nurse Syndrome?

Sincerely,

Restless  Nurse in Idaho

Dear Restless in Idaho,

Well, well this is a pretty complex question. I will address it in four parts each one addressing one of the different strains of Restless Nurse Syndrome.

First let’s look at Locationitis, the most common strain. Nurses suffering from Locationitis have a deep seeded psychological condition that they want to see or live in new places. So it only makes since that travel nursing which allows a nurse to travel and see new places would be the perfect remedy for Locationitis. And of course we can’t overlook the role Lacidem plays in the cure, by reducing the jobisitis (the underlying cause of all Restless Nurse Syndrome cases) to the point that therapeutic treatment can be administered.

Next week we will look at Nofriendleosis.

Sincerely,

Dr. Turbatus
