Hi,
I'm just a newbie here but I have to comment on what I'm seeing here. Specifically nurses sharing their stories of their interactions with difficult patients.
Surely it is unprofessional to be sharing patient details? Even with the names changed, enough specific details are being provided by certain nurses that could identify a patient.
Anyone can access this website. Any patient can check out this website. I admit, the chances are not great that this will happen, but it could happen.
I don't think it is appropriate or professional to post here and ***** about patients, difficult or not.
Usually the unprofessional offenders mention that they just gotta vent. I don't think as nurses / nurse students collectively we should be initiating some of the threads here; or participating in them. I think nurses who have to ***** about a patient should find a more appropriate outlet to do so.
Just my two cents.
