    Nurse pressing charges

    leslie :-D replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    not one of us knows precisely what happened. a hypothetical 'what-if': let's say the nurse went in to administer his meds. pt doesn't want them. nurse pursues somewhat abruptly or aggressively, will...

    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    i see what the pp was saying. overall, our society, as superficial as it is, sensationalizes youth and beauty as being interchangeable, yet as one. old, aging women are cast aside while the reverance...

    Nurse pressing charges

    leslie :-D replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    the difference being, all these other jobs you mentioned, were not privy to the "whys" of the assault. do you truly believe that all would have pressed charges if they knew of his recent dx? i don't...

    Ranting!...

    leslie :-D replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    as they say, payback's a *****. yet, i would find it just as vindictive for her to retaliate w/an undesirable schedule. i opt for professionalism w/a touch of decorum (:)), regardless how immature...

    Nurse pressing charges

    leslie :-D replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    gonorrhea is treatable, unlike a terminal, non-treatable diagnosis. so no, you shouldn't get off. the bolded (by me) upset me, kork. your statement is analogous to a rape victim who 'deserved' it...

    Job posting- "Must not be overweight"

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Should I have implemented Suicide Precautions?

    leslie :-D replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    i agree w/your assessment. specifically because he admitted to wanting to, but got scared. this scenario to me, is a lot less ambiguous than the op's. such a tragic ending.

    leslie :-D replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    i seriously don't think that specific suicide questions, is appropriate. pt stated he wasn't suicidal at present, and admitted that he had been in the past. past thoughts should be treated as past,...
