I really love the diversity of this site! on this topic, brings back so many memories of high school...I bet that young person that's odor has become offensive has a best friend...why not include them in this situation it will help their interpersonal skills and take pressure off teachers/nurses who cannot be everything to everybody..in high school, my bbf had a persist problem of bo, and her other friend and I drew straws as to who would tell kay so other kids would stop the remarks...it fell on me...I told her gently, kay cried and I held her, I hated to see her hurt but I hated the otherkids cruel remarks...to this day we are friends..she knew my motive for telling her was not maliciousness

i am just sick after I read your post of how you arebeing treated! a nurse is worked like a borrowed mule and then scaped goated b/c things go south! how do they expect u to be in top form with those kind of hours! I don't want to incite pity, however early in my career I could see some of the writing on the wall and decided to getmore education so I would have multiple careeroptions and I am glad I did! I got my certificate as a drug/ alcohol counselor and helped in programming phase of places plus tried other types of nursing such as public health. getting out of that mold frees us from fear of change, and it made me more advertsome to try all kinds of things! don't get me wrong I lve bedside nursing and I am so glad for that medical piece that most clinicans don't have, helps one to see whole picture. I can tell u r a hard worker, go for it and work smart!
