He comes into the asylum and starts stirring up trouble with the head nurse, Nurse Ratched. Mac, as he is commonly called, then begins to try and bring some of the outside world in, be it through playing basketball or watching the world series. He also takes the other patients on grand adventures, be it on a boat or at the party in the ward. He begins to grow a bit attached to the patients, and when one of them takes his own life after an incident in the ward, Mac snaps and becomes violent. He attempts to kill Nurse Ratched and is taken away and lobotomized.
The next morning Josie had a dramatic change in condition and the physician was called. It was determined she had too much opiod analgesics in her system. Narcan was ordered and administered, Josie seemed be doing better. There was a verbal ordered received that Josie was not to receive anymore opiod analgesics.

Manipulated easily by Iago, that he wrongly considers as his friend, he falls into all the traps set by Iago and finally kills his wife and himself while McMurphy sees at the first glance how the Big Nurse got the power and manipulates the patients and the hospital staff as shows this sentence of McMurphy, just after his first meeting:” Is this the usual pro-cedure for these Group Therapy shindings? Bunch of chickens at a peckin' party?”. We can conclude that Othello is pretty naive and tends to trust the wrong people when McMurphy is smart and as good as the Big Nurse to manipulate people. But we can add that Iago is also more discret and smarter than the Big Nurse, who is clearly the ennemy, which makes him more difficult to detect. This point is
It will keep you from getting sick and potentially everyone else around you. It doesn’t even take that much time, I don’t understand why some people can’t spend another thirty or so seconds in the bathroom to wash their hands. On Washing Hands is not just directed towards doctors or nurses, but everyone. There are germs everywhere and everyone spreads germs. Almost everywhere you go, you see signs saying “employees must wash their hands”.
The policy states “hands are to be washed before initiating direct care with patient” (Community Mercy Health Partners, 2006). When I asked the nurses why their hands were not washed, the majority of responses that I received were related to being in a hurry and being focused on taking care of their patients’ needs. The next issue was not actually the washing of hands but was an issue that directly deviated from the policy. Two of the nurses being observed had artificial nails. The policy states anyone involved in direct
Underneath the Insanity “What goes beyond is what you see beyond what you know”, a famous quote by American author and journalist Earnest Hemingway delineates the hidden aspects of the novel, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. This novel takes place in the mind of a disturbed and paranoid Native American known as Chief Bromden who resides in a mental hospital along with several other characters. He is a giant man physically but a weak and coward person mentally. Bromden undergoes a path towards sanity throughout the novel. The almighty power in charge of these patients is known as Nurse Ratched who is the oppressive and strict figure who represents modern day society.
It is with this mentality that we reflect on Ken Kesey’s wonderful novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. A grim satire set amongst the patients and workers in a mental institution, Kesey’s narrative recounts the story of an unpredictable con man that pursues institutionalization as a method of breaking out from the sternness of a prison work farm. Before long, in order to lessen the sexual and emotional feebleness of the men at the institution, he begins to taunt the autocratic Nurse Ratched, irrevocably changing the future of those in the ward. “As he [Jesus] landed he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a Shepherd.”(Mark 6:34) McMurphy’s entrance onto the ward is much like that of Jesus. Much like Son of God himself, McMurphy saw the people on the psychiatric ward as metaphorical sheep, leaderless and subject to the cunning fox, in the form of Nurse Ratched.
In the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey, a ward of a mental hospital and its inhabitants create an attractive metaphor for the controlling nature of American culture. Throughout the novel, the story of Randal McMurphy, conveyed through symbolism, a new patient in the ward as he battles against the head of the ward- Nurse Ratched. As the fight between these two powerful forces ensues, it becomes more than just a classic case of rebelling against authority. Kesey’s story invites the reader to consider just how vague, or previously vague, the line is that separates and treatment from tyrannical control. Symbolizing a valiant struggle between free will and conformity, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a powerful, electrifying, and important piece of American literature.
Sometimes we fought over board games. As a young boy Toby most enjoyed the game of monopoly – which he usually would win. He loved counting his money, and buying more real estate – he understood this game at a very early age in ways I still don’t understand it. As a youngster, Toby also enjoyed playing what he called “office”. A family friend gave him one of his all-time favorite gifts.
