OH MY GOD, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST NURSING STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD. . Do they not give her a physc. eval after that repeated raunchy behavior? That is one horrible image I won't be able to shake. :imbar All I can say is bless your heart and I hope that is the worst thing that has happened to you.

That is disquisting:uhoh3: This is the kinda pt. that needs a good valium(hee-hee). I wish there were something in place for the patients but have no idea. I remember in nursing school(just 3 yrs. ago) that these little old men( that were coherant) would grab our butts and other stuff and try to talk dirty and we would correct them after the shock wore off. Later we would laugh( on break) that they are lying there in a diaper and trying to get lucky. It was funny and disquisting at the same time. The confused ones are truly pittiful, because you know this isn't how they acted when they were still with it( I was working with an mid to late stage alzheimers pt.) I still think the ones that aren't true pervs should be treated with respect and dignity. I wish I had a solution, but I don't. The occasional one that really grosses me out, I never go into thier room without an aide or another nurse, and feel sorry for the aides that have to provide thier ADL's.

:) I AGREE. I WOULDN'T MIND MOVING IN WITH THEM A WEEK OR TWO ,SO I COULD LEARN A FEW THINGS ABOUT ORGANAZATION AND EFFECTIVE PARENTING...:) :) :) P.S. I HAVE BAD PREG. TOO OR I WOULD HAVE HAD ABOUT 6,NO JOKE...:)

:) Hi, I'm curious what exactly are the beliefs of athiests??? Am I correct in thinking they don't believe in God and is there more to it than that? Sorry to be clueless but I'm curious?

:) Yes I saw that show and loved it. I felt bad that I'm not that organized with 2 kids. I would love to have a house full of kids. That was an awesome family, no one looked neglected or deprived. Those kids seemed awesome.

:stone I hate when pts. are nasty talking and acting as well. I usually just say Mr. x, that isn't very nice, and you know better(for those that aren't confused). But isn't telling the pt. that "she is acting horny all the time" inapproiate. Sounds like she didn't even know she was truly offending them or being nasty. And even if she did, This really doesn't sound professional, it is degrading. Do our hormones stop because we are in a LTCF? I don't like that behavior either and would try to make her understand but, there should be some way or policy to address this issue,other than calling her "horny". Sex is one the needs on Maslows hiearchy of needs, we are the professionals and she is in our care as our patient. :)

Hi Hunter, glad to have u stop in to say hello. Yes it is hard and wonderful to be a nurse.:) I have never helped with operations, I saw an operation in nursing school and got totally sick. But there are alot of nurses there that love it. Are you going to be a nurse or doctor when you grow up? Well have a great day. :balloons: :biggringi

WOW what a wonderful website.....

Hi hairstyling nurse,sorry but it sounds like we don't have alot of compassion for our own here. Sorry your having to deal with this, i know a diabetic nurse at work and will see if I can get her e-mail to send to you. I would hope as nurses we could be a little more compassionate, with people when they are feeling at thier worst. Isn't that why we became nurses. I know my friend at work does take several breaks a day, but we use team nursing approach which sounds like it would be a good approach for a few nurses here. I'm new to this site and it seems heavenly for the most part, so don't be discouraged maybe a few good diabetic nurses will find thier way in here to help you. I will e-mail you when I find out that e-mail address. Best of luck to you, your in my prayers. Nurseneesy
