DH, who is also an RN, was sexually harrassed about 7 years ago. I think my reaction was stronger than his! Maybe it's a guy thing?

I personally know of "stories" of nurses experiences such as an elderly patient who grabbed an aides crotch and was sent to prison from the nursing home. I am sure there are tons of stories out there.

All of us get grabbed or propositioned through the years, whether male and female ...I know of happenings to both sexes from patients, coworkers, etc.

Also verbal harrassment from patients, coworkers over the years with sexual

tones.

There was even a quad in a nursing home who harrassed a young female volunteer once where I worked...chased her and said horrible things to her...another quad asker her "do you want to become a woman?' She was only a teenager and living with me at the time. I gave her pointers on how

to deal with their behaviors.

Have you tried http://www.google.com?

Also, people are somewhat slow sometimes to help someone with a paper or school assignment, but you might get some feedback if you ask people to tell about their experience with sexual harassment in the course of their careers as nurses.

Just a thought.

Good luck!
