Have you done this ?

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I accidently said " This hospital is **** in the drug room away from the public in front of a nursing student and nurse. It was frustration building up because I had a new admission who they wanted to put next to a isolated patient who had a respiratory illness. So I made the decision to put my new admission into another room. A senior nurse said it's your decision and the nurse manager will be annoyed tomorrow with you. No one would back me up. I was trying to protect my new admit. So I swore. I worried I might be fired.

Wow, this is refreshing. Every place I have worked the nurses swear like sailors, to the point they appologize for doing it in front of me. Do places like this exist?

But if poor boundaries and impulsivity are problems, there are lots of euphemisms which carry an equal amount of weight as profanities, can be learned and utilized to emphatically express oneself more appropriately during intense and stressful situations!
