july 8, 2005 -- today thesun (u.k.) ran a short, unsigned piece reporting that a group of nurses is calling for a young cardiac nurse to be "struck off" the list of licensed nurses by the nurses and midwifery council because she appeared to have had "unsafe sex" during a "boozy orgy" on the u.k. reality show "big brother." this situation raises interesting issues about nurses' professional obligations away from their main work settings, including any duties to model responsible public health conduct or conform to a particular moral code....

What I do on my own time is my own buisness and you can have my job and license if you try and change me!!!!!

Gee! I had no idea my best friend was on this board too!!!
When they decide to revoke licenses' for attorneys/politicians who have horrible sexual morals with certain young women/men in their workforce and revoke physicians' licenses for same, then maybe, the nurse can be included in this little cliche'.
First off, somebody mentioned some Nightingale Pledge. Sorry, I must have skipped school that day. I'm not bound to it cause I didn't pledge it. So there is my loophole.
I personally think that nurses should obey a moral code. Who's moral code? Well, mine, duh!
Of course, I also think that:
Lawyers shouldn't steal.
Cops shouldn't speed.
Politicians shouldn't mouth empty promises.
Democrats shouldn't be elected. (Did I slip that in?)
Preachers should refrain from adultery.
Teachers shouldn't preach Humanism while complaining about Christianity
Administrators should live by the rules they make.
Singers should shut up and sing.
Actors should shut up, period.
Hollywood elitists just shouldn't get married, period.

Good grief you guys are like a broken record...and a bad one at that. Give it a rest will ya!
I agree...and if we really wanted to go into moral presidents, should we discuss draft dodging, adulterist? (Who said, "I didn't inhale?") :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Anyway, to get off that subject, no one is perfect. We all have our own idea of what is moral & what is not, and many of us have wild younger day's stories we may or may not wish to be known. (Some of us just refuse to be old fogies!) :rotfl:
Oh, but I do think singers shouldn't lip sinc. :chuckle
.........and don't bother buying into the next mega millions, b/c I'm going to win. You'd just waste your money. :rotfl:
