The Risks of Nursing.....

Nurses Stress 101

Published

Nurses, I hope these are not stupid questions. But I have to ask....because if you don't ask, then you won't know.

I'm currently going for my BS in Nursing, but are still taking all of my pre-reques. I want to know from all of the experienced nurses, if you all have ever been threatened by a family member of a patient of yours, that died under your operation? Also, if a patient with AIDS ever attempted to stick you after learning their status?

The reason why I'm curious, is because this is the stuff I never really hear about.

Thanks!! And Happy Holidays!!

I don't know anybody personally but my Dad knows a nurse that was stabbed with a needle and now has the AIDS virus. :(
