Agreed. The mental health of a nurse should not be discounted, or considered "hooky." Your mental health is a large part of your overall wellbeing.

She is (supposedly) a physician, but acts like she is your father-in-law's physician? If she is administering treatments to this patient, wouldn't that be malpractice, since it is NOT her patient? If she really does have a license, she should be repo...

That sounds like someone who would make a sick prank call instead of a professional dealing with patients. Who would do that? :angryfire

Is there any way that you can get the pt.'s wishes in writing? Perhaps he could get a lawyer? I think some actions need to be taken w/o the family present.

The "gift" seems inappropriately large, to me. Talk to your grandfather and find out his reasoning.

Good job!

:chuckle I knew what you meant.

I'm not a nurse but I also think your feelings are normal. It is terribly sad to see a person who was once so full of life just wasting away in an environment that doesn't seem as beneficial as it could be. You might want to consider a different area...

Yes, yes, yes!

Exactly!!

I'm glad that there are more nurses speaking up for themselves so they don't get walked all over, and also can help make life a little easier for the nurses that come after them. Good for them. :icon_hug:

Oh my God. I would have been so ticked. I really hate that we are in such a sue-crazy world right now. Like it's the only answer. And I think the cause is greed. I hope nothing happens for this family to get an itchy trigger finger. To answer the OP'...

I think this was rather a rude comment, and I don't think you have experienced the things I have. And since you have no idea what it's like to be me, or know who I am at all, what right does that give you to pass judgment? Further, what does MY profe...

Don't forget what she said above... it seems that there were a few attempts made already to help this woman, but she just wasn't using the bedpan when given the opportunity for one reason or another. The OP was probably expecting the same result when...

Good job! I hope everything works out for you.

I'm sure you could type up a few things that you've found on the internet in an hour or so. I've done stuff like that. It doesn't have to be a paper, just make a list like you said.

Honestly, I would not want a male doing personal care, like a bed bath on me. Lots of people have pointed out that I'm attractive and young, and frankly, I don't want some guy to get turned on by caring for me. I'm serious. It might not be intentiona...

If you can't find a list, then MAKE one after doing some research.

Good job, HappyJaxRN. Thank you for being a nurse.

Pureed food is nasty. I've noticed that patients tend to get fatter when they come to the hospital. But there may be other reasons (like access to the snack machines and sharing food). Sorry, I'm too lazy to type anything of substance right now...

If she was confused, how did she know to do all that when "manufacturing" her candies? However, if this is true, it's funny.

I do think it is suspicious and unusual... not seeing too much of the OP.

I suspect that you need to be at least an RN before you go the MSN route, since you have no education in nursing. I don't know if you'd need specifically a bachelor's in nursing, since you already have one in English, thus having the prereqs to start...

I'm not going to pass judgment on you for how you feel. It happens. However, I strongly recommend getting a new preceptor, and limiting your exposure to this man as much as possible. This kind of relationship is not worth throwing away your marriage ...
