  1. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    You're probably right about him turning the tables. But to vulnerable and powerless add embarrassed. He may think that embarrassing you might deflect his own embarrassment. I have heard (and read...

  2. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Agnus. Just a quick question. How often have you heard of it? Do you get the impression that it is something that happens frequently or very

  3. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    That has occurred to me as well, but I am past the point of caring about it. I really don't care to know the sexual orientation of my male caregiver, if he's straight fine but if he's gay he's not...

  4. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of the Foxworthy joke about you know if you're a redneck woman if: you don't have to remove the Marlboro from your lips before telling the state trooper to kiss your fanny. Seriously,...

  5. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Good question Toq. Here is the sequence of events. Had a sports injury, broken left ring ringer requiring surgical repair. Went in hosp Sun nite for Mon AM surgery. Gen anesthesia, out like a light,...

  6. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I am impressed that you care that much about your patients. If I am ever in a situation where I cannot care for myself, I only hope someone like you is around. I may have spoken too broadly as...

  7. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that would be child abuse under the present laws of my

  8. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    I am not speaking of the exam itself but the manner in which it is performed. The manner I was speaking of is where the exam is done with the male pt bending over an exam table stark naked. That's...

  9. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    For me it was 1973. A friend of mine who was wounded during Desert Storm had it happen to him in 1992. Another military veteran, wounded in Iraq, told me he was threatened with it in 2004 in a...

  10. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    I think men are more modest than generally given credit for. As for peeing outside, I am REALLY careful where I take a wiz. My open air selection is usually more private than a restroom. It's just me...

  11. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Afraid not, I was 16 years old at the time, my father had passed away the year before, so I had no male figure in my life, and how is a teenaged male supposed to tell his mom something like that?...

  12. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    ?????????? Not sure about what you're saying. In my situation, there was no flicking or thumping of anything. Maybe my nurse learned that just flicking the member has no real effect unless one is...

  13. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with that. Too bad there were no males in your class. If so, maybe one of them might have spoken up and told those instructors where to go. If and when I get back into nursing school and an...

  14. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You Leslie. No, I wasn't groping or obnoxious, just a scared and embarrassed teenager. Even if I was inappropriate, it doesn't justify permanant injury. As I have told people before, you can't...

  15. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    YIKES!!! Psycho is right! What is scary about this is when you think of how many students were taught to do this and then went out and actually did it. Even if only a small percentage of them did,...

  16. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Since I joined this forum I've noticed that one of the hot button topics concerned intimate care of women by men. Since I have my own anxieties about care from the opposite sex, I can relate. I am not...

  17. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Great idea Noah. This would be no problem for the girls since most medical personnel are female. But for the guys it is practically impossible for the same reason... most providers are female. In...

  18. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Would the same consideration be made for elderly gentlemen who are not able to decide that it's OK to be cared for by a female nurse or aide? Keep in mind that even the men of that bygone often...

  19. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    The traits you mention don't have to be feminine. Lots of men have those traits as well. I have also met many women who were very uncaring, disrespectful, loud, brutal, vindictive, you name it. Some...

  20. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I do, now that you mention it. It would be humiliating enough for a man to admit to sex abuse by another male. But consider the essence of a sex crime. It's not about sex, it's about power and...

  21. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it's a matter of degree. If there is something about the provider that causes one to revisit a traumatic past, then that's enough to warrant a change of assignment. It's more than just...

  22. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Just theorizing as to her motives. Besides, this forum is anonymous, so it's easier to talk about things you never could in person, when everybody knows who you are and you have to look at them...

  23. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Statistically? Facts? The fact is that males are highly unlikely to report a sex crime committed by a female. Therefore it is practically impossible to evaluate to just how often this occurs. Just how...

  24. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad we are on the same page elizabells. I agree with you all the way on this. No patient should have to accept any form of care that would compromise the patient's emotional well being. That...

  25. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    58flyer replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I have made it clear in my prior posts that I have no problems with patients stating their preferences. My only issue is when a facility makes rules regarding gender that is not equally...
