    GrumpyRN replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I thought I heard that on the BBC but could not find the report. Please stay safe everyone. We have just had a national applause for the NHS tonight at 20:00hrs. People came to their doors and windows...

    Sending Supplies Overseas

    GrumpyRN replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry I'm a bit later getting back than I intended. This lack of PPE seems to be a worldwide problem although South Korea seem to be doing OK. It is getting very scary here so stay safe everyone....

    You are asking a very big question. Where to go???? Obviously I don't know England that well as I live in Scotland so what about adding Stirling, Perth, Inverness, Dundee, Aberdeen, Paisley oh any...

    And that is where you come over as a teenager, what "sass?" I gave an answer to your question, if you don't like it that's too bad but not my problem. What you think you deserve is unimportant. What...

    Really America?

    Really America?

    GrumpyRN replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Long queues and empty shelves at the supermarkets are a bizarre phenomenon. The selfishness and greed displayed are disappointing to say the least. But at least there's no threat inherent in swiping...

    Really America?

    GrumpyRN replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    GrumpyRN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a bit simplistic to say that the reason males avoid health care is because of female staff. Not totally wrong but not the only reason. The three citations you have given are all opinion...

    Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    I have quoted your original post with some of it bolded. It seems to me that your concern was about having a male nurse and the scrubs and coat thing was very incidental, certainly as written above....
