How was it like being a nursing student?

As a nursing student how do you talk to a 14 year old girl that has an STD and had an abortion @ 13?

  • I am a nursing student and have a clinical who has chlamydia, pelvic inflammatory disease and had an abortion. Her mother is not supportive and i will be spending my shift with her tomorrow. Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

  • Answer:

    pray about it and recommend her to a professional therapist. chlamydia and pelvic inflammatory disease are treatable, show her to a doctor that can treat her. and take her under your wing like you would do a younger sister. always try to be there for her and don't judge her.

Don't show her any unprofessional emotions. Talk to her, but be direct, honest, etc. Once you are around her enough, you'll probably be ok, it will come naturally. This happens every day to me with my patients. Just don't let her know that you are judging her. (whether you are or not) I know it's hard, this field is very complicated. I once had a 12 year old patient who had a baby at 11. I had another one that had cervical cancer at 16........yeah, it sucks. But I'm glad you're becoming a nurse!

I guess try not to be too judgemental. SHe probably needs someone to talk to.

educate her on birth control is obviously number 1. beyond that, i really wouldn't know what to do either. i would try and be as supportive as i could be.

well one.....i don't think that girl would like it that you would blurt this out to the whole internet world can see. You already fail as a nurse, because they should be people that we trust, you are not one of them....

Talk to her like an adult. She is 14 so she should be in high school and should be able to correspond like an adult.

honestly, this girl is most likely looking for a role model. she is obviously easily persuaded from what you say about her. she needs to be in counseling and she needs a mentor who can open her eyes. just try to be her friend...she is young and most likely rebellious so if you talk to her like a person and not a child she will probably be alot more susceptible to what you are saying to her.

Explain to her about what she has been through and how to avoid it happening again.

well that is a lot to handle at that age. i think the best you can do is just listen to her and her needs. just treat her like any other 14 year old i suppose. i mean she made some bad decisions but with the right support and encouragement from others she can turn her life around and still live a teenage life. a lot of it might be bc of the lack of support from her mom. the girl probably needs someone to talk to about what is going on her in life.
