One of my patients has been making suggestive comments ever since I started seeing him. He makes me incredibly uncomfortable and even after trying to work with him, he’s still giving me the ick. It’s disgusting and I can only imagine what he’s like outside of this hospital.

I’d tell him “that’s not appropriate”, “we are not like that”, and finally “you need to stop”. Nothing in your job description requires you to accept abuse. Ask your charge to reassign you, if need be.

Report it and ask not to be assigned to him. Also ask for a psych consult.

100% - you should not have to tolerate this kind of behavior!

If talking to him doesn’t work, ask for reassignment. You don’t deserve that sort of treatment.

That's so disgusting. You should have reported him. Luckily, I haven't encountered one yet.

Sexual harassment is sexual harassment even if from a patient

You should tell him it's making you uncomfortable. Without you telling him makes him believe that it's okay to just continue harassing you. You know the solution on your problem. You must have the courage to do it yourself. Do not allow anyone to do that to you.

You should try to embarrass him in front of his family members, unless they approve of predatory behavior. I always hate when this happens. Happened to me numerous times while I was still starting.

I have had quite a bunch of nurses go to me complaining about this. I will always say don't ever mess with someone who has access to your meds. This is such an annoying situation to be in.

Get a garden hose size cath from the OR. . Place on bedside table and say " Just in case we need it " It amazing how quickly it works !!!
Though seriously, This type of person is testing how far they can go . They will only stop if you make it clear. " You're behavior is inappropriate. I have reported it to my supervisor. This hospital has a zero tolerance of abuse"

Ugh! I've encountered countless people like him. Stay professional, OP.

Hey friends - need some life advice. I just got my H1B renewed to October 2024. I always dreamed of living in chicago and think I could make a move internally with EY. However, I am stressed out as I don’t know if (1) a move to a bigger city couldn’t negatively impact my H1B or (2) when it’s time to file for a GReen card, it may be harder to do so in a bigger city due to larger labor market. I was hoping you guys could have some insights. Many thanks in advance!

Corporate suggested me for a DON position in TX. I currently live in SD and work as ADON. Corporate said minimum salary would be 115k. Then flew me there for 2 weeks to see the building (nursing home). They all loved me, as does corporate. But my offer today was 90k. When I said I was told 115k they countered with 100k. I said I’d think about it over the weekend but really am looking for at least 110k. Have to sell my house and move and rebuy w higher interest rates. What do you think??
