4. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   NexLvlDad replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   Corporate business varies by your actual role and the organization. You can't generalize, at least as much as you can with bedside nursing since the same interpersonal dynamic seems to run through all the hospitals I've been to from coast to coast. M...

   Money, I was promised a bonus in the Army, promotion also promised in the Army, an indoor job in the Army and an assignment with women in the Army. That is what got the 23 year old version of me into nursing. No calling or inspiration from a clinicia...

    NexLvlDad replied to medlaw's topic in Men

    Maybe being around women during work is good for him. He will have to decide. Sometimes men in nursing are ignored because women who have been married for a number of years become conditioned to hear what comes out of a man's mouth as white noise.
