Should I say something about this nurse?

Got it, thanks.

(Note, I am not an IMHO mod, but the mods for this forum are unavoidably occupied right now, so I’m stepping in to help).

WhyNot, while I appreciate the fact you recognize that your language was over the top and wholly inappropriate for this forum, it is for exactly these types of situations that the Pit was designed. The Pit is to prevent derailing a thread with personal frustration and bringing that tone to a more mild forum.

I don’t doubt your frustration, but next time bring it to the pit, or avoid the language altogether.

Warning Issued

Thank you, IvoryTowerDenizen. That Mod Hat looks good on you. Warning absolutely accepted and warranted. And still worth it. :smiley:

To answer the OP- say nothing.

Too late.

[QUOTE=Urbanredneck;18605474BTW, she would also wear big dangling earrings.

No,* not* big dangling earrings!?! :eek::eek::eek: The slut!
:rolleyes::dubious:

Well, I think in that example the issue was safety. Dangling earrings are frequently pulled, so not a good idea.

You should say that you are sorry to her.

We’ll miss you, WhyNot.

Maybe you can come back as a sock and never get caught? :wink:

I’ve hesitated to post here but this quote bothered me:

I think it’s just as bad to speak that way about a male employee as a female one.

FWIW-I did one have a patient say to me “I always look forward to coming here because you put your hand right next to your breast when you check my blood pressure-but that’s maybe why my blood pressure is high.” I apologized, and reassessed how I check blood pressures and hopefully haven’t had the problem since. I do see how the nurse could have been totally ignorant of the problem. I had NO IDEA of what I was doing; I was concentrating on checking his blood pressure,

Why?

Well, you’ve explained the dangling earring thing, so perhaps you can explain the bolded part as well.

From the way you’ve presented the story, it sounds like it would have been okay for her to wear sexy clothes if she was “a hot looking 20.” Is that true - or do you think her clothing was inappropriate regardless of her age?

If her clothing was inappropriate regardless of her age, I’d appreciate knowing why you think the “hot looking 20” reference was necessary.

If her clothing was appropriate for a 20-year -old in that situation, perhaps you could explain how the 6-year-old would have acted differently based on the age of the aid wearing a “sexy button top.”

For considering reporting her despite her doing her job properly.

I assumed he was just guessing as to why the woman wore the shirt she did. The part that struck me as odd was “sexy button top”. I have never once looked at a ladies top (either that I might wear, or that someone else was wearing) and think “wow, those buttons make it sexy!”

Maybe he was trying to say that the top had a low neckline, so the kid could reach it? I doubt that mattered, my guess is that unless the top was really snug-fitting, the kid wouldn’t have had trouble grabbing it and tugging. But I wasn’t there, of course.

I hope the kid gets the discipline and other help he needs. Doesn’t sound promising if the parents are suing the teacher’s aid for wearing the wrong clothing.

That was actually the description given to me by the parents who had met the woman. But yeah, I guess it does make me sound sexist.

The description may have been from a friend, but you chose to include it so yes, it does give that impression.

You guess?

I bet you showed him your ankles too, you dirty strumpet, you absolute soiled dove.

You should definitely report her. Although you didn’t get a thrill out of it, you easily could have, which could have had disastrous results. You should contact the hospital administration and report the incident exactly as you’ve stated it here, and don’t leave anything out.

Weird bump.
