Restless Nurse Syndrome Question of the Week April 10, 2008

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

My brother talks to stuffed animals like they are real. It was kind of funny at first, but it just kept getting worse, what should I do? He used to have friends at work, but now it seems like he has no interest in them.
Please help,

Dear Confused in Idaho,
I have seen this before. You are right to be concerned. What is happening in this case is complex and not everyone understands it right away so I will try to make it simple for you to understand. Your brother is suffering from Nofriendleosis. It is more commonly referred to as boring friends disorder. This condition usually manifests itself in the nurses desire to meet new friends. Unfortunately, if the nurse is in the same location for too long new friends are very difficult to find. Consequently the nurse creates new friends in her, or his in your brother’s case, mind. I have commonly seen this come about through making dolls and stuffed animals talk, but in extreme cases I have seen it manifested through the use of a drawn on hand puppet, consider your brother lucky.
That is why travel nursing is so vital to the treatment of Restless Nurse Syndrome. Travel nursing jobs take nurses to new locations and open them up to new people and places. I strongly suggest you get your brother on a treatment of Lacidem and travel nursing.

Sincerely,
Dr. Turbatus

Can you help my daughter? She believes that she lives in Colorado, but we live in South Carolina. I mean she really thinks she is in Colorado. She wears ski gear all the time, is always complaining about her chapped lips and always has skis on her car. I’m starting to worry and I don’t know how much more hot chocolate and John Denver I can handle.
Help us Dr. Turbatus
Worried in South Carolina
Dear Worried in South Carolina,
Ahhhhh… what you have on your hands here is a classic case of Locationitis. Sometimes to the undereducated this is called “Nothing to do in this Town Disease.” It is a good thing you contacted me when you did. Severe cases of Locationitis can be severe. Locationitis occurs when a nurse has grown extremely bored with her current location, but for whatever reason is unable to leave. Her mind will begin to create an alternative location for her to live in. Often it is somewhere vastly different or more exciting than where she currently lives. The first thing you need to do is have her contact an RNS Specialist and get her on a steady treatment of Lacidem and travel nursing as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Turbatus
