I have nothing to say

  1. Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    That's a weird thing to deal with. Gender insecurity is RAMPANT in nursing. That sucks. I don't know what to say, just thought maybe it would help to know that somebody else feels the same way from time to time.
  2. Men Scrubs...for a muscular build

    Custom made is the way to go.
  3. Can Psych NPs wear suits to work?

    Nope.
  4. Gonzaga University PMH-NP, Spokane WA (online)

    I worked some of the time while I was in school. During the EBP class, there was no way I could have gotten as much out of the class as I put in during that time while still working. It was a transformative experience and I would suggest that anyon...
  5. Gonzaga University PMH-NP, Spokane WA (online)

    I just finished up this past Friday. Here is what I have to say about the program. The quality of the student body is excellent. I studied with nurses who have decades of experience in various specialties. All of the students in my class were flue...
  6. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    If you are objecting to a nurse busting out of her uniform, you need a time out.
  7. Just got my Pharmacology textbook...

    Do everything you can to learn about pharmacology. It will pay huge dividends in your career to come.
  8. Awkward moment?

    If it was me, I would ask the patient for their preference. Do you want me to do it, do you want me to get a female to do it, do you want a female observing me during the procedure, what would make you the most comfortable? It doesn't matter to me ...
  9. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    I don't worry about the gay male nurse thing at all. There are quite a few gay male nurses, but I don't feel like I need to comment on that situation. What does that mean to me? Most of the gay male nurses don't make their sexuality a thing in the...
  10. Not happy with grade.

    I don't think you're being hard enough on yourself. Everything you see in A&P 1-3 will be back again. The last time I counted it up, I repeated all the same content from A&P six times through nursing school. If I had any idea how important...
  11. Tips for succeeding?

    I'm a fellow student, so I feel your pain. Working hard for good grades takes a lot out of you. That said, there is no substitute for a 4.0GPA. Nursing schools are very competitive right now. They have to use something to screen applicants. For ...
  12. Psychotic Psychic?

    Nope.
  13. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    I found this great book on psychiatry called Psychiatrists and Witch Doctors that changed my mind about a lot of things. It was probably the most important book I read in my masters program (though it wasn't on the book list... I just liked it). In...
  14. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    Well, I had another appointment after the one under discussion where I almost left. The missionary guy was proselytizing and that struck me as grandiose and entitled, but the couple that came after him were astonishing. Grandiose and entitled are v...
  15. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    That's a really great answer. Partly because it is true. The other part is because it puts the focus back on the patient, and that's where it should be. Why should a patient pay to help me with my issues?
