  1. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never actually reported anything to CPS. If the OP called their hotline and said something along the lines of: "I would like to report possible sexual abuse of a child. Susie Jones of San Jose,...

  2. Can RNs in CA give Propofol??

    Horseshoe replied to RNlmbhb's topic in Patient Medications

    I would definitely proceed with caution. There is no reversal agent for propofol. That means you better darn well know what you are doing and feel very comfortable with your skill at inserting an...

  3. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it isn't absolute. However, the child told the OP's D that she had had sex with her cousin. That is a huge red flag that absolutely must be investigated. Could be untrue, could be they...

  4. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    Horseshoe replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but then I would think it would be more along the lines of "this happened to me, and I did blah blah." Instead she was advising the OP on what to do. I guess she found it in a search? I only...

  5. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be so sure about that. Many of the people posting have personal experience with pretty much the same thing that you have gone through. Some of our children might actually have been raped as...

  6. Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    Horseshoe replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    How do people come up with four year old threads and not realize they are answering a question that has long been

  7. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Was the purpose of reporting to the police to get the other CHILD in criminal, legal trouble for "sexual battery," or to report that the other CHILD referenced what is probably statutory RAPE? I...

  8. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see her being "glad" about anyone being falsely accused. Now I think you are just starting to make stuff

  9. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I am not REMOTELY angry. Why would I let some anonymous human being on the internet make me angry? I don't give away my power that easily. I also never said you implied housekeeping HAS to be...

  10. Initial Drug Test

    Horseshoe replied to Damiapa's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty despicable. Or are you just

  11. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    No, you said that was all about biology. With the exception of giving birth, the other things you mentioned are really about socialization, not

  12. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Please quote the post where anyone said it was "okay for someone to falsely accuse someone of

  13. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    She hasn't done that. She's made him out to be the real victim. That's not the same as "correcting," "letting him know when he has have done wrong,' and making sure he "makes restitution." She has...

  14. Evil Nurses

    Horseshoe replied to sammiesmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She doesn't sound like a nice person, but "evil"? That word is usually used to refer to child rapists and murderers who shoot 50 people in a

  15. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Children often want things that are not in their best interest. Or they don't want to do things which ARE in their best interest. That's because they are children-they don't know any better. You, as...

  16. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    If she were an adult, I'd agree. But she is a CHILD. She is almost certainly another VICTIM. She may even have been raped by an adult or teen cousin. Calling a little girl a perpetrator is really...

  17. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    Horseshoe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are also a licensed counselor, you really aren't qualified to decide that your kid will be okay if only you either quit talking about it or handle it entirely yourself. A counselor trained...

  18. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Horseshoe replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto.

  19. Possible to break Rn Residency contract

    Horseshoe replied to blueeyedboxer's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, do I just take PinayUSA at his word, or should I believe a lawyer familiar with Texas law? In Texas, they cannot garnish your wages to fulfill a judgment. BUT: As to taking one's home:...

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Caring for the family and running a household is a social construct; it's not about

  21. Stanford Rape

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    You said a woman who is beautiful and dressed "alluringly" can cause a man to "lose control" and become a rapist. That is NONSENSE. Rapists do not rape people because they were so incredibly...

    Horseshoe replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    The "damn dam." I like it. And I agree with all of the

  23. Dating Coworkers

    Horseshoe replied to Wake88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, you don't know how she'd take it if you dated and it "went South." It could be bad, very bad. That's why it's a common cautionary tale. I met my DH at work in a commercial real estate firm....

    Horseshoe replied to blueeyedboxer's topic in General Nursing

    Since you haven't started yet, you're probably okay, but DO look at your

  25. Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

    Horseshoe replied to MaiBee's topic in General Nursing

    I sat out of nursing for a good while in order to be home for my kids during some tough times in middle school/high school. When I decided to dive back in, I found a couple of PRN jobs. I worked...
