   Understand where you are coming from but the reality is there is enough of the public who believe that this type of behavior is immoral and would question this kind of behavior.

   I know. But is it in the realm of possibility that her choices would affect her career and the image of what a nurse is?

3. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

   hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

   "So how does it hurt our image if some nurses choose to supplement their income by stripping, posing nude, whatever? Thanks... you just validated my whole argument--though it was poorly expressed. The public's image of a nurse is one of a caring pro...

4. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

   hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

   It isn't morally wrong to say these things. I actually used these to show that nurses use these statements--or paraphrases--to let us know that we can trust them with our dignity. It is also used to help new nurses get over the nudity. That was the c...

   My OP was written very early in the morning. Forgive its lack of cohesiveness. I did amend my reply when I realized that my literary device actually did not need quotes. I apologize, Ma' am. (I actually am a nice guy...)

   nursel56 There was one quote where a nurse stated that she believed that porn was wrong. This block of text was an actual quote. This is what I was referring to when I stated that "If you search allnurses.com you will indeed find that this [mean...

   Your reference to patient modesty blogs makes me think you might be one of those few people who truly believes female nurses victimize male patients, as one blog commenter described a bed bath as stripping a man and playing with his genitals. We've h...

   hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

   "I am a female, heterosexual [not that it should matter] and I certainly don't discuss the size of my male patients genitals, and I find it rather offensive that you [OP] seem to thing that female nurses have such a lack of control. Do you not have s...

    hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

    I am not maligning an honorable and trustworthy profession. I never said that ALL nurses do this or that even a majority do this. Please read the post. My request for feedback was in relation to public perception about the results of the choices we m...

    hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely not a troll. Just wanted some honest feedback from nurses as to how choices we make outside affect public perceptions and patient relationships. Thanks...

12. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

    hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

    There seems to be this idea that if this has never occurred in one person's experience then it has never occurred. And if it has occurred then by golly the OP has to post links to articles, data, medical journals, and such to prove that it has before...

    You seem to be defensive and want quantitative data to disprove your own work experience. You do not represent thousands of nurses. You are but one. And I do not mean to take away from your input. However, what I have written has occurred and regardl...

14. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

    hagiospneuma replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

    My point is how our actions outside the work place can and does affect our relationships within the clinical context. What a nurse thinks about the male patient was but an example of the result of her actions elsewhere. Don't see it as a main problem...

    I am glad that you do not engage in such behavior but you are but one nurse in a sea of thousands! I never said any of this was the "norm" only that it has occurred... but I believe based on anecdotal evidence that it occurs more than we'd like to ad...
