Restless Nurse Syndrome Question of the Week

Restless Nurse Syndrome Question of the Week March 12, 2008

Posted by Dr. Turbatus in : Locationitis, RNS Question of the Week, restless nurse syndrome , trackback

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
