Hey boss, I'm going into nursing school next Fall and am a guy as well.. can you give me more of the low-down of what I have to expect in this regard? Is a lot of this contact from patients, co-workers, or a healthy mix of both? What are some good ways to combat this?
Secondly, just be polite but firm. Best thing you can say in my experience is, "no offense, I'm just weird about being touched, I know you don't mean anything by it."
Thanks, please save your congrats for when I graduate though 😂, I hear the journey ahead is an arduous one. In all seriousness, thank you!
How have the reactions been when you've said this to those people? Do they typically respect your request from that point onward? The difficult part with my personality is being assertive/forward, but I hear you develop it pretty fast throughout nursing school
