    Husband Died—Looking For Low Stress Job Recommendations

    JKL33 replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine what you are going through, but you have my condolences. Can you tell us the current situation with your employer? Are you on some kind of leave? I agree that it is worth...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't that it hurts anyone's feelings, per se, it just brings a sexual aspect into the scenario when no one else would have had reason to be thinking in those terms. It seems like...

    Newbie in ER....help!

    JKL33 replied to nasr69's topic in Emergency

    @nasr69, what was their orientation plan? They have to have something more detailed if they are going to hire new grads into a busy ED. This is a disaster unless they have something more...

    Shameless request for good vibes

    JKL33 replied to JKL33's topic in General Nursing

    You all are wonderful. Thanks for the vibes, prayers, comments and support. I have a long fuse but after being ignored and then jacked around I thought I might be coming to the end of it. I...

    @Catfostermom - I will admit one additional thing here: I do sometimes feel somewhat defensive when we receive this kind of feedback because I know that what nurses are told to do and what patients...

    I agree completely. I typed the above post before reading your comment. My only beef here is that it is not acceptable to haul off and suggest a whole other level of

    Just so you understand, she was likely referring to the period of time in which he was in the operating room. That is what is meant by "through the whole surgical procedure." I know that I was not...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    I understand. I just can't figure out what event those nurses were supposedly watching. To suggest that they had to "check" him and that he had to inform them that viewing his genital area was...

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it does. There IS no "spectator sport" of looking at genitals that is not sexual. As far as I have ever heard, the spectator sports of looking at genitals are precisely sexual in nature. You know...

    What is the other reason that people look at genitals as a "spectator sport" ? Let me know. I haven't heard of this. I know people go to golf matches and things like that, but I didn't know that...

    Understood. And I *am* sorry that he experienced this. But you will get a lot further if you present the situation with enough emotional neutrality to keep yourself from crossing into inappropriate...

    Secondly, @NICU Guy, with the position I'm in right now I am frequently having men disrobe to varying degrees. Here's my approach: I explain the process and rationales, answer questions if they have...

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I was referring to the post-op nurses who stand accused of coming in check him out for sport. I've already acknowledged that there are people who don't care/aren't sensitive to...

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    I do know that some aren't. In the places I have worked, those who don't care are definitely outliers. I'm pretty particular about my interactions with patients and with people in general, which is...

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. It's also significantly more difficult to get a read on people when you only have a short amount of time to do it and otherwise do not have any kind of...

    JKL33 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    What you don't understand and didn't ask about here is why they might have checked lower than the incisions. I have no lack of concern for any of my patients' dignity, privacy, modesty...

    Is there a particular reason why you are resisting the possibility that your husband's nurses were checking his surgical site because that is prudent nursing care of a post-op patient? You (or...

    I asked you to give you the benefit of the doubt; I wanted to hear what you had to say rather than assume what you were going to say. You gave the how-so plus your improper assumptions about others....

    They don't make up the rules. You know this. No nurse who was at your husband's bedside decided the visitor policy. I am immune to this kind of rebuttal since you have zero idea...

    You should contact the facility with whom you have the complaint and discuss this with them. I have been a nurse for quite some time and I have never heard any nurse direct a patient to expose...

    Newbie in ER....help!

    JKL33 replied to nasr69's topic in Emergency

    By whom?? That is utterly ridiculous. How long is your orientation in this (fake) "residency?" Please tell me you did not sign some kind of contract for this privilege. I would have a...

    I want to leave bedside nursing

    JKL33 replied to jrb1201's topic in Emergency

    I am most familiar with "non-bedside" being used to refer to roles that are not directly or not mostly patient-facing. As you know, staff roles in either ED or UC are going to interact with patients....
