    hypnotic_nurse replied to reddgott's topic in General Nursing

    We're in agreement here (funny, men teaching elementary school used to get the same kind of comments). It doesn't belittle women when someone says that; I think it's much more an "Oh, so you're a guy...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to RE Agent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  10. I don't fit into nursing& nurse eating

    hypnotic_nurse replied to cargal's topic in General Nursing

    Cargal, anytime anyone says "I'd like to kill you", that's reportable. It is harassment, and even if said jokingly is truly NOT OK. Not all places are like that, or I couldn't work in this

    Maybe your pt was Amish? Don't they still use "thee" and "thine"? Or maybe she was a Middle Ages reenactor? Otherwise, I don't know, always sounds a little odd to me
