Yes... drugs!
Oh, and I went to Haiti and slept with a pile of hookers! ... just kidding! |

Yes; I have taken some drugs that I think were a lot of fun, and ultimately harmless, but which other people would consider risky. I'm sure some people would say that my sex life has been a little on the risky side, although I would disagree. |

While I'm not proud of everything I've done, I don't regret anything. I'm a firm believer that the events we go through in life, even the bad, help to shape us into the people we ultimately become.
Anyhow, the main thing that pops into my head that others thought was risky was when I got involved with Patrick. Everyone warned me, told me I was risking a lot to be with him, that I'd end up in trouble, etc., etc. They were mostly right. However, I got an awesome son out of the deal. I'd do it over in a heartbeat. |

Lots of times. Flying a small airplane and driving a motorcycle are things that other people consider risky behavior. |

Sure.
I've done all kinds of stupid crap.... but I don't regret any of that stuff... it made me who I am.

I asked out a girl who happened to be one of my managers. That's risky in terms of my employment. The job market aroudn here is so tight I've been trying to get another job so I can leave Pizza Hut for over 2 years and have only ever gotten one call back that my idiot father waited a month to tell me about, so I ran the risk of being fired and ending up homeless and starving. |

All the time. |

yeah, back in college I had a very good friend that had AIDS, and we used to kiss quite a bit....I always thought he was a super nice guy to tell me that he had it because you know, not everybody has that kind of respect. I definately would have slept with him, if I didn't know better. Scary, huh? The closest I ever came to actually getting in any kind of what I would consider a "dangerous" situation from being around him was from when a nurse came into his hospital room once and changed his IV when my friend and I were still in the room. She shouldn't have done that because he was a hemophiliac and when she removed the IV, it spurted blood. Luckily, it was only in one certain direction. Not towards us, but the nurse suddenly realized she shouldn't have done it while we were in the room, and yelled at us to get out! Other than that, nothing scary ever happened. I've been tested dozens and dozens of times, and I'm fine. Being so close to him was worth every second. |

Interesting this topic came up, but for some people taking care of patients that are HIV+ or have Hepatitis is considered risky, but I did it with no problems at all. The patient knew, I knew & they were always very considerate & aware. Yes, I have run into some health care workers that would not take a patient that was HIV+. Just being in nursing period is risky. I did have a needle stick & had to get tested & the patient tested & rechecked, etc. But its a risk you take & it makes what you are doing that much more important. |

Yelled at you to get out? That nurse is a nut! All you have to say is 'I need you to step out into the hall right now.' |

All the time. Most of the people I know just don't seem to be that adventurous. |

it scared her really bad because some of the blood ended up on her (pretty much just clothes). I forgot to mention that. She was understandably very rattled at the time, and realized that in doing that while we were in there, she had put us in harms way as well. I probably would have reacted the same way. She got scared. |
| RGirl |
Sorry, I just haven't worked with many (if any) nurses scared enough to lose their cool. Scared yes, but professionally, you need to be calm. |

Yes, just about everything I do. |

Yes. I don't regret it one damn bit, and I'm not going to share it, thank you!

Even though it was a college town, I think there were only 42 AIDS patients registered in the whole county at the time. I'd would have put money on the fact that this was her first experience in dealing with one. But it was ok, it wasn't like he wasn't used to that sort of thing happening every now and then. You couldn't expect everyone to not have a type of fearful respect for the illness - not even in their respective fields of expertise. Some people react differently and she was trying to protect everyone involved. He was a very understanding guy. You'd just have to have known him. One of the greatest people I've ever met - and still impacts my life today. |

Maybe using some kinds of illegal drugs. |
| RGirl |
As a nurse I have taken care of patients who were HIV+. Yes, fear & respect go hand in hand here. And I understand her being afraid. |

Probably a lot of things.Some of the things I do on my horses and ATVs a lot of people would consider risky. Sky diving, scuba diving, bungee jumping, and other things like these. I obviously don't regret doing these things as I continue to do them.

I have had unprotected sex, but I got tested after when I sobered up and regretted it and after I found out that I was clean I didn't regret it...does that count?
I have driven too fast and didn't regret it.
I have eaten unwashed mushrooms and didn't regret it.
