  5. Out of control visitors

    monkeyhq replied to duskyjewel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RNsRWe, and dudette10, I think there is some misunderstanding here. My reply was to a very specific sentence which, as I interpreted it (reading from my phone), addressed a generalized theory on...

  7. Out of control visitors

    monkeyhq replied to duskyjewel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    monkeyhq replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't choose to enjoy sex in a hospital, but I won't judge patients that do. It's none of my business, provided the patient is consenting (awake, alert) and a legal adult. My former Ethics...

  14. Out of control visitors

    monkeyhq replied to duskyjewel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just curious, but I am assuming your unit doesn't offer a play room, or 'kids room', with games and other things to do? I love the 'kiddie chambers' I have seen in many facilities. They are very...

  15. The ethics of cost for cure vs noncompliance.

    monkeyhq replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

  20. advice re dismissal from accelerated BSN program

    monkeyhq replied to angeweise's topic in General Students

    In an accelerated program, there should be no accomodation. And I don't mean that to be rude, but there are legitimate reasons for it. You suffered a sad loss of a loved one during school, and I...

    monkeyhq replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    WRONG! This is an untrue statement. There have been some who were charged and passed, and some who were not charged and failed. The "trick" is just a trick. It is not accurate, and you do risk...
