1. Experiences of the male nursing student

   Moscow replied to framps's topic in Male Students

   I disagree, having the male nurse in the room looks like manipulative leverage. It invalidates true consent. It is not ethical. I work with abuse victims they really hate being angled and leveraged into giving a consent they would prefer to deny. A ...

2. Experiences of the male nursing student

   Moscow replied to framps's topic in Male Students

   THe male nurse should not be within ear-shot. He should certainly be outside the room. Having a male nurse imposed on a person can cause real and lasting harm. The mechanism for permission has to be genuine. Asking for permission with the male nurs...

3. OB Clinicals

   Moscow replied to carolynd's topic in Men

   Speaking generally. I was not there. It is about empathy and good nursing practice. Somebody often has to repair the damage caused by having male nurses doing controversial things and it tends to resonate. Many female patients complain afterwards (...

4. OB Clinicals

   Moscow replied to carolynd's topic in Men

   That is the way to go. The patient should be asked a day in advance and then asked again just before etc. A bad experience can't be fixed. Nobody can go back and remove bad stuff from a patient's memory. Many women will have abuse histories, religi...

5. OB Clinicals

   Moscow replied to carolynd's topic in Men

   '"I have a male nursing student with me today, is it okay if he comes in?" Not exactly a welcoming experience. Also, there were no male nurses on the entire floor of the hospital. No male staff restroom or locker room. @ If she was asked that in fron...

6. OB Clinicals

   Moscow replied to carolynd's topic in Men

   Women generally do not like the idea of male nurses. Some of them are not too happy about male doctors. The hospital should ask first. The male nurse should not do the asking. He should not even be in the room when she is asked. If she delays for mor...

   Eventually they give in? You have hit the nail on the head. The patient is the person with the rights.

8. Dumb stuff done in the past...sitting the NCLEX

   Moscow replied to bstephens's topic in Men

   If a person will drink and drive they are a risk. Not something to be encouraged with pilots and demolition engineers. Put five years into the equation between issue and contemporary circumstances and it is less of a risk. The police and drug dealer...

9. Nursing in the UK....hummmm....

   Moscow replied to abundantjoy07's topic in International

   London is blighted by gangsters from eastern Europe etc. I gather most arrests of Arabs are for trivia. Before the Arabs, it was the Irish who were rounded up in racist witch hunts. The usual trend is many hundreds of arrests and a near zero convic...

    Moscow replied to abundantjoy07's topic in International

    Routine policing in over 20 cities and towns has been abandoned (normal services suspended) at weekends to deal with the city centre chaos. The cost to the NHS is staggering and performance levels are badly affected. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/healt...

    Very few of the torturers from Abu Ghraib will face justice. The Shia are a majority, the Sunni are a minority. The Iraqi Shia have defended the Baathists against the Iranian or 'Persian' Shia with determination. The (majority) Shia in the Iraqi arm...
