    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    ixchel replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to say exactly this but gave up because I couldn't find the words. I recently had an HIV patient and he was downright nasty to most of the staff. We got along great, though. I had him for 3...

    Nurse Slang Yo!

    ixchel replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    I think the poster used the word "discrimination" because there is really a hiring bias against pregnant people. Not only is it a great big flag to potential employers that a potential employee has...

    ixchel replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    She asked why we are angry. I responded with an answer, albeit a little snidely. Maybe you missed that point. Honestly, morte, I'm trying to figure out what your point is. You're picking apart posts...
