Naughty Nurses in British NHS

(United Kingdom) According to a survey published in the Nursing Times, almost 10 percent of Britain's National Health Service (NHS) nurses believe it's acceptable to have sexual relationships with patients they care for.

Professionally, nasty nurses engaging in sex with patients may face disciplinary measures, however, there doesn't seem to be a flood of complaints. As would be expected, though, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has expressed concern.

In any event, blog readers troubled by having to be hospitalized in Britain should, by all means, ask around. (Nudge, nudge -- wink, wink.) Check for the frisky nurses.

Pleasurable distractions from the customary hospital experience may be available.
