    Age of consent in France is 15. Also, once the girls presented, this is out of my hands. The nurse manager, counselor and doctor all got

  3. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for this, because this comment sums up a certain hardness I feel has crept into not just nurses, but society. Does this mean that all the people I've helped over the years, all the good I've...

  4. Sex-ed

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I did, because I felt it important, and gives some perspective, because on this site, it appears that sharing snippets of your experiences, to get people to think, is pointless, as they jump on...

  5. Sex-ed

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to show some of the difficulties that are facing teenagers these days, but I'm obviously not doing a good of showing it. Perhaps I should explain a bit better some of the huge problems we...

  6. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a damned clue what you're talking about? Do you have any idea of the problems we're dealing with in school, because of Media? Do you know that last time we had a talk on relationships,...

  8. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What don't you get? You missed a pretty major point. Most patients don't speak up, because they're already nervous for many reason - being a patient, worry about their illness, shock at having a male...

  9. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    My final thoughts, before I go lynch myself... - we all have procedures we don't like, and we all get on with them, but, where I've worked, the vast majority of women do not want a guy 'down there'....

  10. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to the hostile environment. During 4yrs temping in London hospitals, it was a war zone. i"ll share some stories on this site later. Sorry to hear you've had such a shocking time, but I...

  11. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Have you seen footage of the open street pot parties in Colorado? Thousands of people, many of them teenagers, wandering the streets, sitting in the parks, smoking up all day long. I assume you...

  12. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I did not say throw people in jail. But when you give easier access to a drug, the numbers of people using it go up. When, in NZ, they dropped the drinking age from 20yrs to 18yrs, we were flooded...

  13. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    So we've shown that we can't handle alcohol, so let's throw another drug, another depressant, into the mix. What logical

  14. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Two points: 1. Marijuana is harmful to young people - I think we agree on that at least. And this is because the brain is developing. Neuroscientists have pretty clearly shown the brain doesn't fully...

  15. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of studies out there, and the latest that I've seen say it's bad for teens and adults - but yes, certain components do have medical uses. But there's the whole culture of pot smoking...

  16. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious? This has nothing to do with sexualization. You simply don't get it, and nothing I say will. Perhaps it's true that men are from mars, women from

  17. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Of course in an emergency no one gives a damn who does what. We all pitch in and get the job done. In 23yrs of nursing, I struggle to think of a life threatening catheter situation, although I did...

  18. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness - this has nothing to do with sexuality/being turned on. Bloody hell, if you ever want to turn a guy off women, put them in the gynae ward, that will work every time. What the heck is...

  19. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you make nursing seem like a business because a colleague who found this sort of nursing wasn't for him, in your mind, was being lazy. Maybe he was, but you shouldn't tar everyone with the same...

  20. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    One word of advice - whether you like it or not, you will discover your likes and dislikes, it's part of discovering your strengths and weaknesses. It's important to recognize them, and know...

  21. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm beginning to wonder if my comments are insulting people's egos because they feel that as a professional, they're above such things as gender, and proudly go about doing it all, cause they're...

  22. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, until working with some american nurses, all I ever knew was that you had a chaperone if doing certain procedures on a female - so for practical purposes, I'd sort the male patients out, and the...

  23. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Your comment is a perfect example of why a chaperone is used in the hospitals I've worked in. 'Intimate' means one thing to you, and maybe something different to your patient. I have a strange...

  24. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    100% true. I listened in as the charge nurse phoned management, and it wasn't nice. It was the most bizarre way to start a job, no interview, no questionaire, no apparent filtering of the candidates....

  25. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It was an accident. The local hospital took on 12 new grads - but with no interview, and we got a letter congratulating us on our new jobs, and what ward we were in. They thought my name was a woman's...
