    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Here.I.Stand replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Why is it “legal?” It’s a little ethical principle called “autonomy.” A female patient is under no obligation to allow any access to her body that she doesn’t agree to. If you feel...

    Here.I.Stand replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    A few thoughts... For those who point out “why was Versed used in the first place?” What in the world does that have to do with anything when you aren’t checking your Rights? What if they had...

    Should I be asked to get consent without the doctor?

    Here.I.Stand replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    Oh **** no. The physician must consent the pt him/herself -- for their OWN protection in addition to the pt. Do they really want to get sued down the road, when the pt suffers a bad outcome, and it...

    How do you deal with angry/upset with patients?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Karlie2114's topic in General Nursing

    I'm known as the difficult pt/family whisperer. Nearly always, what works is knowing that they are being heard. But of course, my response is tailored to the situation. I have had pts who had made...

    Clinicals and 2nd language?

    Here.I.Stand replied to prettyplanetearth's topic in General Students

    Unless you are certified as a medical interpreter, your ability should be a non-issue. Sure it's nice to be able to converse and build rapport, but 1) ESL speakers receive care everywhere, and 2) any...

    Tired of schedule changes

    Here.I.Stand replied to orangelate's topic in General Nursing
