I can hear my patient's mother having sex with her boyfriend in the next room. Beyond grossed out.

Can you turn up the TV, or put on headphones, or sing to the baby?

This would probably be a situation where I would be uncomfortable enough around the boyfriend anyway that I would casually be looking for a new opportunity.

You poor thing! I've walked in on sexual activity while at work. I'm still traumatized and that was years ago.

That's unfortunate. However.... it must be rough to have nurses/providers in your house all or most of the time, so you gotta take your opportunities when you can, right? ;) But I empathize with you! Hopefully they were at least trying to be quiet ;)

Been there, done that. Yep, it's awkward. Still haven't found a solution other than changing cases. Good luck.

I had the TV LOUD but, alas, was headphone-less. It was so awkward!

I'm veering in that direction. Or considering starting my bridge to RN program.
