Thanks Dixie- Unfortunately it must be something I have experience with and I have never taken care of a prisoner. Thanks Turtle. I completely agree with you about being sick and working. Personally I would rather work shorthanded than with a sick nurse. I always seem to catch what is going around. And thanks to the others with suggestions. Any other suggestions out there?

Turtle in Scrubs: I am writing a grad school essay and although I can think of tons of ethical dilemmas working as a nurse, I can not seem to find any I am comfortable writing about. I need ideas and was looking for one that is more neutral on both ends, but very controversial. One thing that bother me as a nurse is charting restraints every 2 hours. Does anyone actually release the restraints?? When you have 8 complicated demanding patients, it simply is not possible, but must be charted. Another example I have is I work in a hospital where high profile people come in all the time and they are treated differently, not as in protection , but as in better rooms, no lines, etc... Anyhow I am looking to write about something that is non-offensive to non-nurses and that dies not come off as complaining...

thanks. anyone else have another experience??

Hi. I am wondering what the biggest nursing ethical issue is that you had to face and how you handled it. Thanks.

Hi. I am curious what ethical situation you may faced as a nurse and how you handled it or wished you would have handled it? Please name a few if more than one comes to mind. Thanks so much.
