I know, without getting too deep, that the only purpose a human being serves is to build the Kingdom of God in the physical world. Nursing provides a fantastic opportunity to do just that and still be able to make a living. But not everyone in nursing is building the Kingdom of God--some are just down right evil.
I knew a nurse once who I observed giving a 17-year old girl all the pain medication she wanted while at the same time refusing to give a homeless man adequate pain medication. The only motivation seemed to be that /p giving the pain meds the patient would have to be kept in the unit longer. Obviously the girl could stay, but the nurse didn't want the homeless man around. The nurse wanted him out and to the floor as soon as possible. Would you call this evil?
I'm being deliberatly vague to erase any possibility of linking this post to the actual persons involved.
if the nurse truly witheld pain medicine because she didn't like the person you aren't going to find one of us that isn't going to say that was not wrong or unethical, and against the nurse practice act, and basically everything we stand for as nurses. is it "evil"? there are so many definiitions of "evil" one could say it was.
but do you truly know her assessments and what her thinking was?
no i don't. i can only describe things as they appear to me to be. i was only wondering if anyone in this forum would consider the situation evil. but it's time to move on to new business i think.
