  3. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand why it may be confusing. In our state, what happened meets the standard for criminal battery, according to the police. Yes, I agree there is an moral obligation to report. The problem is...

    I'm sorry for this. Thank you for sharing. You are not

  5. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, I disagree. You are assuming she is ashamed. She held her ground and said 'no,' and told me what happened. Shame is silent. She simply wants privacy. Not everyone needs or wants western...

  6. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with my child this morning who reluctantly and sadly agreed to to the report, with the stipulation that she not be there. So I went to the police station, explained what happened, the officer...

  7. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    No no no...I never said that shame was a reason to keep quiet. I said she has a right to privacy. And I maintain that. As for being a mandated reporter - she is not my *patient* she is my child....

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the support. So difficult. I want to clarify to anyone who thought I was going to "ignore" the problem that I did not mean to give that impression. Rather, I meant that in that...

    Vintagemother, I was trying to hit the like button for your post, and I accidentally hit the report button. I think I fixed it but if I didn't, I didn't mean to do

  10. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad. I don't deny that something probably happened to screw up this child. But can you see how I am torn between respecting my child's privacy and confidence in me? What good does it do to take...

  11. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know the signs...And I'm going to be honest. The other child is just not my priority right now. She may need help, but my child is first, her dignity, integrity, everything comes first. Maybe that's...

  12. Parent Insists Nurse Brings Pt to the BR When SHE Uses It!

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    I got the impression it was a younger child, and I think she used the word 'autistic,' but I am not sure, so I didn't put that in the original post. But no matter what the dx, don't you think the...

    I'm so sorry for your experience! It sounds like you were able to heal, or maybe get some good perspective. Thank you for

  17. I Don't Think He Meant To Hurt Me

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you for this input. While I respect and understand what you are saying, if I treated everyone who is developmentally delayed, strong, and has boundary issues as a potential attacker, I would be...

    Exactly!!

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    Quazar -You are a special mom I might have mis-characterized his actions; I don't think they were malicious/aggressive. I think he acted spontaneously, and he truly doesn't know his strength. To be...

  22. Can I deduct my cell phone as a work expense?

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work private duty, and there is no land line service in the home. Also, on occasion, I do outing with the patient who, although is generally stable, has a trach and congenital disorders. In an...

  23. Nurses smoking weed?

    SunnyPupRN replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Completely believe it should be legal, recreationally and medically. No judgment from me for anyone who partakes [ as long as you aren't impaired or under the influence while working ] - but until...

  24. Advice wanted, as an older RN student, what thing should I NOT do?

    SunnyPupRN replied to hamsterwheel's topic in LPN to RN

    Seems like a no-brainer. Be quiet. It isn't just nursing students who resent being corrected and judged, it's everyone. Did your teacher announce that he/she was an aspie, or did you diagnose that...

  25. So I kind of messed up

    SunnyPupRN replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    That's not harsh, it's judgmental and arrogant, and it assumes the worst of someone who may be absolutely capable in nursing. I suppose you have never made a poor judgment? Ever? *You* may be the...
