What is this--are public health nurses trying to make a 'woman' out of me.  I have NO CONCRETE anchors or anything to SAY.  They believe that women have no memories and should have nothing between the ears!!  They are SO REAL.  Does anyone have similar experiences or know what to do?  I can't document trips or visits to special events, etc.

I sincerely think you are not in a position to judge what is safe patient care.  You admit you are having these episodes of not being able to control your mental capability to perform.  And you are endangering the patients you are caring for as a nurse in an ICU unit.\n\nGet professional help and get out of patient care please.

Chicks are definately messed up...\nWhen I find out, I'll let you know...\n\nKeep your chin up,\nWe good guyz get our gals in the end...\n(That's if they aint too f*@^ed up by their traumatic experiences)... When will they ever learn?

~I thought the question was dumb until I read busball's answer.  Whatever happened to getting your sex education in the back alley?  At least the information there was informed and valid.\nEver heard of planned parenthood?  Doctors?  Parents?  \nI would give you the real dope on this issue, but giving dope to a dope is not a good thing.\n\nI deal with kids who think they know how their bodies work everyday and I am truly sick of the ignorance out there.  How can people be so naive, or just plain stupid, with all the legitimate information out there.  Oh, yes, they go to YaHoo Answers instead of asking someone who might actually have some knowledge on the subject.  So, when you get knocked up, who is going to raise and support the kid?  Me and the rest of the taxpayers?  Again?

Well I am bound to get hate mail for this...but here goes. ...i have had violations for the most innocent questions..and i have replied to Y!A..got the standard automated reply that they're looking into it....well after 6 months, I figure it's a lie, especially since they have found the time to take breathers, update to a more awful wesite, push the awful blog thing, which by the way is a form of subliminal seduction of devulging our privacy willingly...that we should find things like myspace and blogging perfectly natural...giving up our privacy ..our dossiers...things that we would never ever say to anoher, that only  an FBI or CIA agent would be privy to...after Rorscachk Analysis....natural....oh yeaeh...revealing that much is like cutting the nipples out of your shirt and walking around wondering why people are staring at your chest......now, I have NOT recieved a response regarding my questions tht someone had a hardon for and had removed..some right wing arse whom got a hair in the "RIGHT" place and decided that i was to be the sacrificial lamb d'jour. There are ways to figure out who these people are. \nBTW BEFORE you accept to be on the gallery wall of a blog and you are a woman...and I happen to be one, check out the patterns of people...there are men who have nothing but "beat off" shots of women, as they seem to collect them...peruse the different categories and see what the different latitudes are for tolerance....you will find it different in EACH category.....the religous "Do as god says" people will damn you quicker than they will pray for you, the demon lovers will flag you easily, the depressed and lovelorn will give you  a thumbs down, the ones who suck up and tell you what they THINK you want to hear, yes I do check, and I HAVE studied profiling for over 10 years so THIS is a side dish ....not the best, nonetheless and allthemore only a side dish and not the best at that....I actually preferred the red jello in rehab in the early 90's..... Customer service if you sense a seasoned woman is most likely a woman who has no sex, has cats, doesn't date, watches the same shows , has a ritual of television including the Lifetime Channel..... and is a spitout leftover from a gone wrong marriage probably missing the glitz of her double wide on cinderblocks. Next time you call her ask her how Pat and Vanna are doing, she might just warm up at yahoo.....probably a lily tomlin Look alilke...acutally I am hypotheticalizing, but it is fun.......so no one can sue me, only flag me.\nI am sorry for your loss of time....as time is currency and yahoo doesnt care as they tout the likes allegedly of deepak Choprah, Dr, Phil, Oprah, and honey the list goes on and one....yahoo is only yahoo...there ARE more interesting formats, i just managed to get a bit hooked in here and keep tellingmyself I will leave when I hit a certain amount of points...I am at level 6....8,000 something fromm level 7..and when I reach it if I havent made a friend, i think I will call it quits and just slip away into the abyss of something that cannot be aired in a public format. i wish you well, hell I wish me well too..and you are right.....\nI will be awaiting your word as to what happens...no, they do not care, and the last time i told them to keep their damn auto response to themselves and unbelievably they did it.\nhey...who knew?\nWell..we will find out now won't welll...glad I saw your question, full of passion and fire....and a great reality check for those in the YAHOO COMA!!!!\nWAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!\nThanks...\nLioncourt.....\nP.S. I too am a Virgo...does it show?

You're scaring some here. Your not afraid. They were hoping they can get to you with their remarks (have you see the post someone wrote-chicken hoping to intimidate -and the answers are mostly in your favor). \n Your a strong women don't let them push you down.\n And yes we have many problems-that some do not want to face. The truth hurts in this case. \n I want to take care of those here first and than reach out if I can. We can not (not will not) do both. Choices must be made. Even if feelings get hurt.\n Close that door is right.\n\nPlease speak out and whenever you feel like it-you have many supporters. And I like your Courage (so many do). Wish our government would take a lesson from you and quit worrying whats proper and who will call them names.\n\nAnd some are using that you hate-I do not get that from you. Just that your tired of stepping around issues. And sometimes like a child no one listens unless you get a bit stronger and sometimes you must yell-children don't always listen until you do . See you Soon I hope on post -I'm not here a lot but you got my attention a few times.

I found a link which has information on forgotten heroines of the Civil War.  It is about the nurses who cared for soldiers\nin dire conditions and has articles on lots of them.\nIt looked interesting, and there seemed to be lots of other links to information about Civil War women.

Your perception of what you heard in the one sided conversaton, clearly " sounds" like a someone admitting they are " dealing" with some female in a BAD way.  I would report it, and let the police deal with it. Better for your concience in the long run.

Hmmm - sometimes, maybe.  I have a close friend who is a male nurse.  He is wonderful - very smart, hard working.  He is a supervisor of nurses at the hospital.  Some of his acquaintances teased him a little, before he became a supervisor.  I don't think he's had a lot of that since - somehow I guess that seems like a more 'important' job to some folks.  He loves being a nurse and having the interaction with the patients - he was my mom's nurse when she was in the hospital with pancreatic cancer.  He was just wonderful to her and to the family for the two weeks she was there before she came home with hospice care.  Several of the female nurses commented to me that he was just the best co-worker ever.

Heck YES, they can die! They need HeLp fast!!\n\nTo me, nothing but NOTHING is worth trying to "pretend" I'm (or my body) is _any_ way it's "truly" not!!\n\nIf I'm 15 lbs overweight, or my hair falls out sooner than I'd rather it would, or it turns from blond to grey sooner than I'd like -- SO WHAT?!! I'm still ME, Chuck.\n\nAnd if that's not good enough for you, I'll just pick up my tinker toys and go home where at least *I* love me. I don't need this competition crud, since it proves nothing. All competition does is feed the ego!! And if yours is hungry, a therapist is needed.  Besides.... I'm already smelling an "Inferiority Complex" or teenager or a woman under 35 yo.\n\nI just wish people would stop referring to bulimia as a "disease" unless a person wants to consider a self invoked line of 'thinking' as a "mental disease".

Brilliant stuff! I agree with all your rants. It's great to hear that someone else gets bugged by those things.\n\nCurrently, my rants are:\n\n1.People that think any woman over 40 is having the menopause (the average age is 50!!) This is just another way to put women down, and its not even accurate!!\n\n2. Men in their 50s or older who think a woman of their own age is way too old for them and are sure that women half their age are gagging to go out with them!\n\n3. People who automatically make assumptions about people - stereotyping them (as above)\n\nOK, from this you can guess my age!!! But I'm not menopausal, just feisty.\n\nLook forward to reading more rants!!!

I agree with chancer on the phone calls.  \nTalk to your health care professionals about what is happening and ask for support!  I doubt that its you.  There are some seriously cruel people around who take advantage of people who have mental illness (been there so I know!), and do this cruel stuff for perverted "fun".  Contact your local MIND.  Lots do a befriending scheme and drop in clubs which will help you through and also give you something to keep your mind off the situation and if needed give you an alibi , its awful to think along those lines but sometimes necessary.\nI hope you get it sorted very soon.  Perhaps go to the police with a mental health support worker and discuss this with them.  Good luck.

Yeah, tell your mom. He is a pervert. Yes to a certain degree he is supposed to talk to you about sex, but not in that way. He said he likes describing these different types of sexual acts. Something is wrong with him. When there is a patient and the doctor is of the opposite sex there is supposed to be another doctor/nurse the same sex as the patient. For example: You are a female he is a male there was supposed to be another female in there like a nurse. If it makes you feel comfortable some docs. let you bring along a friend or female along. But I would definitely change my doctor from a male to a female. He just seems like a freak. I just don't know what type of men actually like taking that job, it just seems very freaky to me. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. BUT DEFINITELY TELL YOUR MOM. AND DON'T GO BACK TO HIM.

Hang in there, my wife in a mental health therapist.   I find it so amazing and I'm so proud of her for doing her job.  Life is tough sometimes, but will get better.  I think the world is full of "those" people who make fun of everybody.  You know as well as i do that those people are hiding something or have a problem too.  Keep your head up and take a deep breath.  You're gonna be OK.
