Nursing and the sex industry

Published

Hello everyone,

So I'm feeling a little uneasy at the moment. I had started my CNA course and when I was about to finish I had an accident. This accident left it so that I could not work or go to school. In that time I had heard about "camming". Without putting much thought into it I signed up to a few camming sites. I figured that I could sign up for a few camming sites and if I decided that's what I was going to do then I would already have a few accounts set up. What didn't cross my mind at the time was 1099's and background checks. I never actually broadcasted myself so I never received a penny. I've read that companies aren't required to send a 1099 unless you exceed $599 but some companies send them regardless. My question is how badly do you think just signing up for these sites would effect my future in nursing? I'm hoping that I can call these sites and see if they will not send out 1099's to the IRS.

Thank you

First, I'm signed up to one cam site. Second, totally not me, but think what you want? Also, you were not the first person on my thread to bring up the employment tax documents consequences. Well or maybe at that point after asking one of my RN friend irl her opinion, she disclosed that info.

Also, OP I think since you did not make any money, you do not file taxes and it will not show up on a background check. Just email the sites you signed up for and ask to deactivate your account. Simple!

Lol, the fact that people think that this is trolling. She obviously is concerned, honestly it really annoys me that you guys think this is a joke just because it's not a "normal" question.

I think the issues are: this was the first thread started by the OP. Yes, you have to start somewhere, but it seems a little odd for someone to make his/her first contact with strangers to be about his/her online sexual "adventures." Also, it came shortly after another "camming" (FWIW, autocorrect tried to go with camping :saint:) thread. And, this person has not been heard from again (or have they???) in this discussion.

I'm certainly not being judgmental about the OP and OP's decisions--just that all this^^ makes it a bit suspicious.

I think these are the same person.

This thread, with a sanitized version of the story in the other thread, was only posted after I brought up the consequences of employment tax documents on a background check.

We practice in the same state. Honestly, I think you'd be shocked at discovering how many of your co-workers have had ties to the sex industry at some point in their lives. Initially, I was.

Does it affect their ability to practice nursing negatively?

Does it create work disruptions of epic proportions?

Should non law breaking adult activities outside of the workplace (past or present) disqualify a practitioner?

I feel these are the relevant questions when viewing this and the other thread. To me, it's like in the same category as being disallowed to practice due to my size, gender, and level of fitness. I can be rather intimidating on the street in my plainclothes. Though when at work, I have to entertain the 'hug train' on my way to the nurses station every shift. My long term patients love me when I get there, and hate to see me go post shift.

I came to age in a horrible, violent environment. I'm quite adept at defending myself and those I care for outside of work. And I teach these skills to my students. Should that disqualify me from working with the sick and vulnerable?

Maybe I'm off here. But my main concern is, " Can you do the job?" as opposed to, " What do you do outside of your job?" It's no business of mine. Unless one is affecting the other in a negative way.

Those two nurses I mentioned in a previous post were solid nurses. I'd stand up for their professionalism and competency in the workplace anytime.

If they keep it in their personal lives & off of the interwebs where it can be found by everyone, more power to them. Like I said earlier, I believe the two should not meet. If you want to be a freak, but do it on your own time & keep it in private. You're representing nursing & your healthcare company.

I have to quit posting before thinking. I swear.

Starting today...

I know. By "this person" I meant the OP of this thread.

ITS BACK!! ITS BACK AGAIN!!!!

Are we being trolled or is this the AN Zombie apocalyse

I see the OP from the last thread is also lurking this thread. Thats an extra serving of amusement-sauce.

The two usernames are talking to each other on that same thread, so....unless the OP is suffering from Online Dissociative Disorder (my personal discovery of a diagnosis!), they are two people.

or the level of commitment is 110%

We cant really no for sure unless the mods can compare the IP addresses of the posters tbh.

Specializes in critical care.

I guess the other one went down in too big of a blaze of glory. Sooooo glad to see it gone.
