  1. Experiences of the male nursing student

    I disagree, having the male nurse in the room looks like manipulative leverage. It invalidates true consent. It is not ethical. I work with abuse victims they really hate being angled and leveraged into giving a consent they would prefer to deny. A ...
  2. Experiences of the male nursing student

    THe male nurse should not be within ear-shot. He should certainly be outside the room. Having a male nurse imposed on a person can cause real and lasting harm. The mechanism for permission has to be genuine. Asking for permission with the male nurs...
  3. OB Clinicals

    Speaking generally. I was not there. It is about empathy and good nursing practice. Somebody often has to repair the damage caused by having male nurses doing controversial things and it tends to resonate. Many female patients complain afterwards (...
  4. OB Clinicals

    That is the way to go. The patient should be asked a day in advance and then asked again just before etc. A bad experience can't be fixed. Nobody can go back and remove bad stuff from a patient's memory. Many women will have abuse histories, religi...
  5. OB Clinicals

    '"I have a male nursing student with me today, is it okay if he comes in?" Not exactly a welcoming experience. Also, there were no male nurses on the entire floor of the hospital. No male staff restroom or locker room. @ If she was asked that in fron...
  6. OB Clinicals

    Women generally do not like the idea of male nurses. Some of them are not too happy about male doctors. The hospital should ask first. The male nurse should not do the asking. He should not even be in the room when she is asked. If she delays for mor...
  7. OB Clinicals

    Eventually they give in? You have hit the nail on the head. The patient is the person with the rights.
  8. Dumb stuff done in the past...sitting the NCLEX

    If a person will drink and drive they are a risk. Not something to be encouraged with pilots and demolition engineers. Put five years into the equation between issue and contemporary circumstances and it is less of a risk. The police and drug dealer...
  9. Nursing in the UK....hummmm....

    London is blighted by gangsters from eastern Europe etc. I gather most arrests of Arabs are for trivia. Before the Arabs, it was the Irish who were rounded up in racist witch hunts. The usual trend is many hundreds of arrests and a near zero convic...
  10. Nursing in the UK....hummmm....

    Routine policing in over 20 cities and towns has been abandoned (normal services suspended) at weekends to deal with the city centre chaos. The cost to the NHS is staggering and performance levels are badly affected. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/healt...
  11. The News We Don't Hear

    What happens if the Iraqi tyrant asks for a screening of photography featuring brave US soldiers raping female detainees at Abu Ghraib? The Pentagon had a meeting with the AEI and gave them a set of torture videos. There are two strands of thought...

  13. The News We Don't Hear

    "The mission of the U.S. forces is to kill or capture Muqtada al-Sadr. That's our mission," said Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez of U.S. Central Command on Monday. Sadr City is a virtual no-go area for US forces, they enter and leave after the most complex...

  15. The News We Don't Hear

    Very few of the torturers from Abu Ghraib will face justice. The Shia are a majority, the Sunni are a minority. The Iraqi Shia have defended the Baathists against the Iranian or 'Persian' Shia with determination. The (majority) Shia in the Iraqi arm...

  17. The News We Don't Hear

    The (Arab) Iraqi people generally do not like the US military. I would presume it fairly difficult to find even a US poll which sought to suggest otherwise. Grand Ayatollah Sistani is the only figure in Iraq who can command absolute support and obedi...
  18. Female inmates are usually a walk in the park. I have not been involved with corrections in Missouri for years. Missouri wasn't really my best work and I never mention it at conferences or write about it etc. Have they refurnished the buildings? I se...
  19. One of the first questions put to me relative to Missouri was whether or not I could actually locate a big load of washer dryers which had seemingly left Chillicothe. The later (and inevitable) follow-up letters from various inmates neglected to ment...
  20. afraid of losing my liscense

    The inmates are sent to jail as punishment and not to be punished in addition to the prescribed sentence and the taxpayer is of course far better served by compliance with the laws of the United States of America. The cost of an EKG is small change...
  21. afraid of losing my liscense

    I have investigated quite a few prison facilities over the years. I was constantly amazed at the depraved indifference I encountered. I hope your son does indeed get his life together. I was delighted to read your post. It made me feel slightly be...
  22. afraid of losing my liscense

    The best way to avoid a slip of the tongue in the witness box is not to get into the rather unprofessional habit of calling the patients 'whiners'.
  23. afraid of losing my liscense

    It does not sound like nursing but it does sound like corrections. Unless you work in the facility in question you do not know do you? It might cost a few dollars to do a EKG but so what?
  24. What's it like to work in a prison for women?

    Women inmates do not generally sound like bigger "whiners" than males. If they whined in Texas it would probably not really get them very far. 20 percent female content sounds pretty darn high for the Texas jail you are using as a research tool. I ...
  25. Nurse looking for corrections policies

    I should have sent one as well. The best way to research CMS is to look up the litigation and the type of people they have hired and contemplate the agencies who give them business. The St. Louis Despatch did a series of reports on CMS. They would pr...
