    Sex ed OMG

    Alnitak7 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Just recently, I watched a surgery on YouTube. It might be like one poster said, that the patient posted it themselves. I did not know who filmed them while under anesthesia. In any case, I don't...

    Alnitak7 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    OCNRN I did not call myself a victim. I did say that people who disclose information sometimes portray themselves as victims. Do you think if these were my patients in those web videos that I...

    Lazy nurses

    Alnitak7 replied to Future FNP 14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If what you're saying is true then I think I'm hearing about a nurse who lost her head. Some people lie when they're ashamed so maybe she fits in this category. If it was me that could not get in...

    Alnitak7 replied to Future FNP 14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't get me wrong, I was not there and didn't see this, and don't know where you work, but the people I worked with used to accuse each other of not changing patients even if we just went through and...

    Metal stitches vs dissolvable stitches

    Alnitak7 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Alnitak7 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    This is off the subject but in times past, I've seen first aid kits for groups of non-healthcare people and they did not have an epi-pen but instead a sublingual epinephrine pill. I've been...

    The important thing is not to focus on how many sexual acts they know about but instead the convoluted lies that predators tell to get their way. They might not know that certain manipulative ploys...
