1. A question of ethics

   Sash123 replied to nurse_clown's topic in General Nursing

   You have every right to be concerned. She is being very unprofessional and if it was me I would feel obliged to do something about it. In our hospital trust we have a Fraud Prevention Team which could be informed anonymously. Or you could just talk t...

2. Would you look at your friend's bottom if they asked you to?

   Sash123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Let me explain the situation. My friend had been poorly over the weekend. I think it was something that they ate on friday night. So I'm thinking food poisoning or gastroenteritis. Bless him. He was having diarrhoea all weekend, along with the sweats...

3. My most critical patient

8. Nursing Dilemma

   Sash123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am not quite sure where to start so I will start at the very beginning. I have been an adult nurse for 6 years now. I started on a very busy acute medical ward but due to short staffing and ward pressures I had to leave or I was going to go complet...

9. Should I stick with this?

   Sash123 replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing
