Resolved Question: Trying To "Out" A Co-Worker....?

I'm an LPN at a local hospital. I've been openly gay for 13 years and I don't hide my sexuality from most anyone. My family, my friends, my co-workers, my boss, everyone knows about me. I DON'T tell my patients that I'm gay, but pretty much everyone else in my life knows. My question concerns a co-worker, "Danny" (not his real name). Danny is young, cute, and a great nurse. He's great with his patients and, though inexperienced, he's a positive asset to our unit. Danny is also very flamboyant, very gay, but deep in the closet with his sexuality. He's told very few people about his sexual orientation - he hasn't even flat out told me, though he's basically told me everything but "I'm gay". And thats okay, the workplace, especially in health care, is no place to be discussing your personal life. On the outside, I'd love to pursue Danny for some sort of physical relationship, but, I keep my distance because we're professional nurses and you just DON'T DO THAT in healthcare, its very unprofessional. Anyway, the entire workplace is abuzz with questions about Danny's sexuality. Everyone talks about him constantly when he's not around. They critique every move he makes, every word he speaks, explaining to each other as to "how gay he is". People come up to me constantly and ask, "Do you think he's gay? I just HAVE TO know." I tell them that its really none of their business, that if he wants to come out, he will. 2 people in particular, an RN, "Katie" (not her real name), and one of our secretaries, "Lynette" (not her real name) are just constantly bugging both me and Danny to find out what his sexual orientation is. Frankly, this is sexual harrassment in the workplace, and Danny could press charges if he knew the extent of how people talk about him. But, is there anything I can do to quell the gossip in the workplace, without having the entire staff turn against me? Nurses can be brutal, and I need to proceed with caution if I confront anyone about this. And, poor Danny, he's 22 years old, just became an RN, is just beginning to explore his sexuality, and he has to run into a problem like this. Its very sad really.Umm, I'm NOT outing Danny. I have no interest in revealing his sexuality to the workplace. I want to help him. To my first responder who said, "Leave Danny alone", I'm asking what I can do to help him. You know you're not getting a best answer with a response like that.Katie just told me last night that she's bisexual, and she wants to know about Danny because she wants to let him know that she's there for him, she wants to "help him". Lynette declares herself as a "total f-- hag" and says she would love Danny "so much more if I knew he was gay". As of right now, I don't think Danny is aware of how much people talk about him, though I have been there when co-workers have said, "You're so gay", and I even had a patient once who told me, "I don't want that Danny taking care of me because he's a fruitcake, if you know what I mean." Little did they know that I'm a fruitcake too! But this is the crap that Danny shouldn't have to be dealing with, I've been there, I had the same experiences when I first came out, and I want to help Danny not have to go through the heartache I experienced.This is what I get for asking a question on YA. Can't you people read? I'M NOT INTERESTED IN OUTING DANNY, BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE, AND THATS WHAT I WANT TO PREVENT!!!! This is why I stay away from the GLBT section of YA, because, the majority of the people in this section are all 14, 15, 16 year olds who don't have a CLUE about real life. Why ask a question about GLBT issues to a bunch of high schoolers? Thank you to those who gave me appropriate responses, I think I had maybe 4 okay answers out of 13. more

Resolved Question: Have any of you done serious long distance relationships (fiance/husband/wife) due to college?

NOTE: I'm not talking about bf/gf relationships where you leave each other when you graduate highschool...I'm referring to this on more of a serious level. I'm trying to get into Nursing school and it is HARD to get into it in NYC. So my other options were PA, NJ, CT, or anywhere within 3-4 hours of here. My idea is, I wouldn't be able to see my soon-to-be husband from M-F since he will have work and I will be in school..but we would be able to spend weekends with each other. Things would be like this for about 18 months if I get into the RN program...only about 12 months if I get into an LPN program. Have any of you been able to do something like this with your husband/wife?I feel like, if you love someone enough, why would living 3 hours away kill your relationship you know? Esp. since we both know it's for my education and I will be able to get a job once I am finished...the economy is so bad now that both of us have barely gotten any work. more

Resolved Question: Info on LPN and RN what should I do?

I want to go to school within driving distance from my house and only go to school for two years or less. I was thinking about getting into nursing but wanted to ask some questions. I believe a vocational school in my area offers a course for LPN's I was thinking about doing that I belive it is a year. I know a RN can make really good money but can you only go for two years and become a RN? If I only go for two years will it even be worth it? What kind of jobs would I be able to do? I really don't want to go to school for 4 years but want a half decent job so that I can do my art on the side which is my passion. I also like the idea of helping people and living at home will help me save money.I live in PA zip code 15767 more

Resolved Question: Can I still become a nurse, if I get painful back spams when I bend over?

I was a nurses aide and I LOVE nursing so I went to university. I had my baby and with the emergency c-section, they gave me an epidural. I want to branch my studies into nursing, but I am worried about the side affects from the epidural. My back spams and locks in place when I bend over. Also my knees get sore and stiff. Shoveling heavy snow for an hour puts my knees in discomfort for days. I can still walk long distances and I life my kids no problem and I want to go into nursing. Do you think I should go for it or is the nerve damage to far reaching to become a LPN or RN? (my son is 9 months old so I assume my back and legs will bother me for my whole, life). But I can still walk and lift. more
