Well, maybe I'm just different or just mean but I told, yes told.....My husband that I was going to nursing school !!! End of conversation ! I also told him that before I would not be come a nurse , I would no longer be his wife. Meaning im going to school, Get over it, or get out ! He finally came around and paid for my education after I was accepted into the program, He also became my biggest supporter !!!!! When it was time for me to take my state boards, I told him, yes told him, Look im leaving for 5 days..... Im going to get me a hotel room downtown. When I return I will be a nurse, and I will still be your wife. Do not call me unless one of the kids are blue, and not breathing..... Lol Came home 5 days later a RN.

Going out on a LIMB here but for the officer to REALLY REALLY REALLY want and demand a blood sample from this patient by ANY MEANS NECESSARY, I wonder what the arrest was about... **did he arrest someone who really did not commit a crime? **did he arrest someone who should not have been arrested and now he is trying to ""make good/cover up"" his arrest so he can have evidence stating that this patient was under the influence of drugs and alcohol etc etc..... What really gets me is that on any given day we as nurses and health care professionals are confronted with patients that have all kinds of diseases, Hep C, HIV, AIDS, TB, and we put our lives on the risk every day when we clock in. We deal with patients that have thrown urine, blood, spit, feces, or move/sneeze on purpose when starting an IV etc etc etc .... and NEVER .....not NEVER have I seen a NURSE HIT a patient, more less shoot a patient because we FEARED FOR OUR LIVES, or became scared all of a sudden. Nurses deal with very similar situations just like police officers. How many times have you had to restrain a patient by yourself, or with the help of others in a immediate setting? How many times have you had to break up a fight between family members in the ER, ICU when a patient has dies all of a sudden. We deal with the same situations and we deal with it on another level called using our Noggins..... We think 1st, act later 99.9999% of the time. So when officers say they feared for their lives, and shot someone 50 times, or it took 50 officers to restrain 1 person, nurses do the same thing, and NO ONE DIES !!!!!
