1. How do the male nurses feel about perineal care?

   Whistler replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

   And again. I am a nurse and male, not "male nurse", and I feel this a little insulting not as a man but as a professional. Nobody questions how a doctor (male or female) "feels" about patient genitalia (OB-GYN, protologist, urologist,..) in their ass...

   Well, that is the very first thing I said in my post

3. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

   Whistler replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

   first of all i want to say that i strongly believe that all health care staff should be able to speak and understand english with certain level of competence. there is no way around that. impressive resumes or nursing shortages should not bypass this...

4. It's Up to You

   Whistler replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Ha, ha, Been there, done that. I was born and raised in Spain and I have the same conversations with every new patient and families hear my accent (which everybody tries to place in Russia, Isreal and other places, and like you, it helps to break the...

5. Who is in Nursing for the money?

   Whistler replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

   I am pretty sure there is no other profession with a bigger obsession to prove to everybody how little we care for the money, and how compasionate we are. Well. certainly I love my job and find it much more fullfilliing at a personal level than any o...

   Whistler replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in Male Students

   Hey, not to add anything new that hasn't been already said. I went through nurse school married with 3 children and a full time job (that included one and a half hour conmute) and passed school and NCLEX. It can be done but believe me it will take a ...

7. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

   Whistler replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Students

   I heard similar things before and it is sad. Not because the husbands object the male nurses to assit their wifes, I guess they have the right to voice their concern or preferences. The sad thing is that those objections are almost always against the...

9. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

   Whistler replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Students

   i am not questioning your capacity or right as a parent or a patient to decide who you want to take care of you or your daughter. that is the very thing i said. i don't care about your reasons and i don't have a problem with it. this is not about me,...

10. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    Whistler replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Students

    Wow! Since we can not be too careful let's ban also the "male doctors". In fact, since there could be some female pervs, let's ban peri care completely. I know where you come from, I am father of a boy and two girls, but that is an unfair an broad ge...

    Whistler replied to KCR411's topic in NCLEX

    You are welcome. It seems to me you are preparing yourself a lot. I like also the 3500 the way the show the rationales, I didn't use it that much, though. However, my advise is prepare thouroughly but don't delay taking the NCLEX. The sooner is the b...
