Hi Cheryl

I believe it would be a good suggestion for Jess to

make. This is also about ethical and professional

behavior.

It wouldn't surprise me, if this same nurse says

obnoxious things to mental health patients, Medicaid

patients and so on.

Nurses, must recieve a certain amount of hours each

year in continuing education. I think accurate

information about pain management, and ethical

behavior would be 2 very good classes.

One more thing, it isn't just nurses who need this

instruction. Physician's need it too, so if this is a

teaching hospital, have the interns, and residents

attend too.
