I'm so glad you are taking that approach, BPRN.

Despite my huge fear of getting in trouble, I've learned to not invite trouble with excessive honesty. (And still am confident that I'm one of the most honest people that people I meet will ever know.). A long time ago, a cousin of mine had a perfectly legit concert ticket, but somehow still felt compelled to ask (see? we're related, lol) one of the security people. Which of course made them assume there was something wrong with it and kept her out(!) Learned a lot that day.

Btw, I don't know what part of OR you're in, but can say that as a health care client potentially in your area, I'd feel completely confident in your abilities if you were ever my nurse, and in fact, honored.
