1. Why the double standard.

   95PGTTech replied to RN2364's topic in Men

   As with anything in life, the double standards go both ways. Why is it that no matter how heavy my caseload is on any given day in the ER, females ALWAYS come to me first for a boost, turn, etc. on a heavy patient? I can't remember the last shift I...

2. Am I going to get dismissed from the nursing program?

   95PGTTech replied to Bunnie90's topic in HIPAA

   I personally think the 0 AND the U is excessive. If it were my decision (which it is not), you would get a formal write up on your file and a very clear talking to that a future violation will result in your termination from the program and possibly...

   95PGTTech replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

   You know what's awesome about working with male nurses? Most of us have concrete thick skin and are far too busy or purely uninterested in drama like debating about being called nurse, murse, or male nurse. I've been called all three. I've also bee...
