Nursing student giving me the creeps.

[TreehuggerRN]

Not just me, either. Where I work we have a practical nursing class doing their rotation and I was approached by this very large, rough-looking guy with a shaved head. He was loud and crude, and when I would answer his questions he would say things like, "what a bunch of crap!"

He looked like he would be more at home in a biker bar than as a nurse. Now before anyone blows me to smitherines for "profiling" and stereotyping I want to say that I'm not the only one who thinks he is weird. I mentioned to another nurse I would not trust handing this guy the keys to a med cart and she totally agreed. I was surprised at my visceral response to this guy because I do not like to jump to conclusions about people and I know looks can be deceiving.

I fail to see what this gentleman's persona has to do with handing over med cart keys.

Does that mean you see him as a possible drug user?

He actually sounds like the boost that this profession needs.

hey Carribean, big mistake

you looked ok before, now you're ugly

as far as the big bad wolf is concerned, we don't really know if he disagreed with the OP

or with the subject

for instance, if he asked where to get supplies and the answer was in the basement....

I have seen nursing students who look professional who have no business being in health care. I'm not sure but I think they would purposely stay clean shaven to keep anyone from suspecting them of anything.

I walked in on a nursing student who was being a peeping tom on this female patient one day. I would never have guessed that he did not belong on the wing with me.
