Nurses afraid to care for AIDS patients.

LOOK I AM LAUGHING AT WHOEVER RESOPNDED TO THE LAST POST I MADE. YOU SHOULD BE COHERENT ENOUGH TO REALIZE THAT. AND AS FAR AS SOUND IMMATURE. ALL I WANTED WAS MATURE RESPONSES FROM PROFESSIONALS. I HAVE HAD SOME POSITIVE RESPONSES, BUT THOSE RESPONSES ARE OUT-NUMBERED. I EXPECTED A MUCH MORE POSITIVE AND HONEST FEEDBACK FROM NURSES ABOUT THIS POST. BUT IF YOU INTEND TO RESPOND WITH ANIMOSITY AND NOT WITH CONCERN AND ASSURANCE THAT ITS NOT TRUE ABOUT ALL NURSES.

THEN DONT RESPOND AT ALL.

Look dont get your panties in a bunch. I want to here from you the ``professionals" what is going on. I was told by someone who was also going into nursing that they decided not to because of the AIDS epidemic and that she lost two brothers because of it.:chuckle :roll

I find this contradiction quite disturbing. :People dying of aids post ended by chuckles. hmmmmmm.... :confused:

What a strange line of posts.

It appears to me, CHAP, that your question has been answered nicely a NUMBER of times over.

Universal precautions. That is the answer. No more fussing about it. OK?

As far as someone not wanting to go into nursing....and saying it was because of AIDS, well, that is just plain SILLY. That is also plain dumb. Nursing an AIDS patient is very humbling and satisfying work.

Perhaps, CHAPS, this is not the best forum to ask some of these questions...... I don't know what kind of facility you work in.....but you should seriously evaluate the facility.

Find an RN who is CURRENT, WORKING and WILLING to talk to you and ask some reasonable questions....your line of questioning on this board is ....well, flawed and not too constructive.

I myself do not believe that nurses are afraid of aids, or poop, or that they are snotty and uncaring as some of your other posts suggest . Chap, to come onto this board and continue to post such idiocy and then wonder why you are getting "hostile" responses and question nurses as "professionals" when you are not even in nursing school (i'm not sure about that, your posts vary so much) leads me to believe you are ASKING FOR IT. So do yourself a favor, and stop. Just stop, OK? :rolleyes:

you suffer from stupidity

and yes, sadly its terminal

best of luck

O.K., that's it, I've had enough. Quite using up the BB's memory CHAP. You asked for it, and you got it........... threefold. Drop all the negitive input.
