      Yes, nurses need to be responsible to protect license at all times

      No! What is done away from the work setting is inmaterial to maintaining license.

should nurses' license to practice depend on modeling responsible health conduct when clearly not working?

nurses: kick out sex-mad makosi

july 8, 2005 -- today the sun (u.k.) ran a short, unsigned piece reporting that a group of nurses is calling for a young cardiac nurse to be "struck off" the list of licensed nurses by the nurses and midwifery council because she appeared to have had "unsafe sex" during a "boozy orgy" on the u.k. reality show "big brother." this situation raises interesting issues about nurses' professional obligations away from their main work settings, including any duties to model responsible public health conduct or conform to a particular moral code....

I agree...and if we really wanted to go into moral presidents, should we discuss draft dodging, adulterist? ;) (Who said, "I didn't inhale?") :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Then we would have to discuss the President that was divorced, thereby (if not divorced due to Pauline privilege) also an adulterer. Whose notorious fallout with his children was the epitome of family dysfunction.

We would also have to discuss the one that did cocaine and also who drove drunk...who raised twins that have violated liquor laws with the secret service present? Who has had a niece and a nephew busted for drug issues? Whose family members were responsible for a major S&L scandal that devastated the savings of many elderly? Whose father got him a cushy "safe" position in the military where no harm would come to him?

I have a novel idea...why not simply discuss an issue or two on this BB without drawing in partisan politics and bashing? Do ya think we are capable of that?

Of course if we did, we might actually have an intelligent conversation that doesn't end up in arguments, name calling, and good members leaving .

Nothing personal, teeituptom, and I appreciate what you did do.

I agree that a good debate makes things interesting, but there are too many people that take things the wrong way, and others have no shame and write downright rude comments to another person, etc.

As the original post was about "Should nurses' license to practice depend on modeling responsible health conduct..."...Anyone care to get back to the OP's post? :uhoh3:

Yes you have. :)

Ok, I think we've answered this question. No, a nurse's licence to practice should NOT depend on modeling responsible health conduct . . . .

steph

So have I. But I don't see any reason WHY politics must show up when the topic isn't politics. Leave politics in current events I say.
