  1. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    trytounderstand replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying that that has not happened. The same as some women have not been hired in a profession because they are a woman. Or someone who is slightly older has not been hired. But if they...

    trytounderstand replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    If he makes you uncomfortable you should be looking for a different doctor. If your not comfortable in their presence when you are awake you sure don't want them taking care of you under

  5. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    trytounderstand replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

  7. Admin/Clerical Staff in Scrubs, Observing Procedures

    trytounderstand replied to jena5111's topic in General Nursing

    If she wants to be a nurse then she needs to go to school. As a patient, if I found out that a nonprofessional was allowed to observe my procedure without my permission I would be very upset. I...

  8. Admin/Clerical Staff in Scrubs, Observing Procedures

    trytounderstand replied to jena5111's topic in General Nursing

  9. Admin/Clerical Staff in Scrubs, Observing Procedures

  10. Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    trytounderstand replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    Although it may have bothered you not to have more females on your team, I personally would have been more concerned about someone taking care of me after or during a procedure who may have had what I...

  11. Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    trytounderstand replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is your complaint. This is what you should have mentioned to the charge nurse not the fact that you were having a male nurse. You should receive a survey form. If not request one. If you...

    trytounderstand replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

  13. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    trytounderstand replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    I still feel that if a patient says No it is no. This having been said in this case he was held down. Basically stripped of not only of his clothing but of his dignity. They may have been the only...

  14. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    trytounderstand replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    If he is cuffed and restrained then sedated or given medication to calm him, he would be under control. While he is still under the effect of the medication is the time to explain that if he doesn't...

  15. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    trytounderstand replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it would be a case by case scenario. If you are in an ed with open bays where this patient could have reached other patients and staff, then restraints would be necessary until the patient...

  16. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    trytounderstand replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    Why was it necessary to cut his clothes off in the first place? Was he injured or covered in something that was potentially dangerous to himself or others? Did he have weapons or drugs? Was it more...

  19. pre op jitters

    trytounderstand replied to czap's topic in General Nursing

    As a patient and a spouse, I feel that as long as we are comfortable the doctor or nurse should be able to carry out whatever exam or prep needs to be done with one or the other of us in the room. As...

    trytounderstand replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
