1. Male Nurses/female Patients

   KeithEMU replied to ern91's topic in Men

   This is very discriminatory. How are we as men supposed to be prepared to do our jobs if we are not trained how to do them? I would wonder what the proper way to handle this would be. I think I would find the head of the nursing department at my s...

2. Male Nurses/female Patients

   Or pay for the law suits when word gets out. Recruiters in just about every business are given a range. They try to get people in low, but raise up when they need to to get workers in the specialty they need. How many new grads would get no tuiti...

3. Male Nurses/female Patients

   KeithEMU replied to ern91's topic in Men

   I think this is the key to the respect thing. Men are more likely to not accept being verbally abused. They speak up. The women that speak up are treated with the same respect, it's just that less speak up. Not just speaking up, but in a respectf...

4. Male Nurses/female Patients

   I'm male and know how to braid hair. Most of my friends growing up were female, My ex-wife and kids wanted me to braid their hair, and I learned to do it well. I think the point was he didn't bother to learn. If he had time and the conviction he c...

5. Male Nurses/female Patients

   KeithEMU replied to ern91's topic in Men

   I would believe it is possible for men to move up in many areas to management positions in nursing faster. Don't have stats to support that though. There are numerous treads that show men are normally treated with more respect IN GENERAL by doctors...

7. The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

   KeithEMU replied to agent's topic in Male Students

   I guess I'm lucky I started out being a massage therapist because my wife and me got this out of the way quick. As a nurse, I actually have less physical contact, though it may be more "intimate" if you want to look at it that way. My wife learned t...

8. Have You Ever Refused To Accept Report on a Patient?

   KeithEMU replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   It is very scary. If you ever check the sex offender registry and see how many sex offenders live near you, your kids school, ect. it will make you want to stay home with a gun. The XXXXX that raped my daughter gets out in a few months. You can be...

9. CCRN time requirement

   KeithEMU replied to CASSYANN's topic in MICU

   It doesn't even have to be a year. As soon as you have 1875, you can sit for the test. This normally takes close to a year, but if you work a lot of overtime, it could be far less.

10. Domestic Violence Survivor.

    KeithEMU replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I know this was hard for you to follow through with, but very important. I am very glad things are coming to a close for you. The biggest thing now is to report IMMEDIATELY if he tries to contact you. It can be hard to stay vigilant, but it will k...

    Fine, Whatever. Does anyone have info on CRNA curriculum and having sections on business of being a CRNA.

13. Admission to CRNA school

    KeithEMU replied to ms. vanessa's topic in SRNA

    I've thought about this as well. I know that VCU recommends getting Organic Chem. Looking at that I need one Gen Chem and one Bio Chem for my BSN. My University offers 2 Organic Chem classes. If I took all of that all I would need is 2 more class...

14. The business of being a CRNA

    KeithEMU replied to krzysiu's topic in CRNA

    I don't see it as shifting goalposts at all. The OP mentioned med school classes, but that was on the side lines. His post was asking about business training in CRNA school. Don't feel you need to justify something you said in a previous post. I ...

15. how much $ is too much

    KeithEMU replied to PTU2SLP's topic in CRNA

    It takes a good person to admit they overreacted. Thank you. Please try to ease into the group. It also has a lot of great people. Many have been put though a lot of disrespect for their chosen specialty though. This forum has tons of information...
