1. Is it possible to be a fit nurse?

   qbedobedoo replied to Crystal112's topic in Stress 101

   Whether or not I was an RN or a dump truck driver, I would still devote time to my workout routine. It would most likely be implemented in different ways, but being it's part of my lifestyle, I would always do it.

   I fail to see how your choice of career would influence your fitness level.. Whether or not you're fit, is a lifestyle choice you make.

3. When everybody knows your name

   qbedobedoo replied to 313RN's topic in General Nursing

   If someone introduces him/herself by saying "Hi, my name is Doctor Smith" - I instantly loose a bit of respect for them. Now and then I'll reply "Oh wow, I had no idea Doctor was a first name now". (I know I'm a rebel). Or I would say "Well hi there,...

4. Quality of Care and Foreign Nurses

   qbedobedoo replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   When I first came to the US (I only came here by marriage), and got my Californian RN, I had already been an RN for about 7 years. The biggest transition issue I encountered, was the massive amount of paperwork we do about nothing..!! I was trained t...

6. Penlight Help

   qbedobedoo replied to Shotty's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I use a $2 LCD flashlight from Walmart.. Works like a charm and should I loose it or break it, I couldn't care less.. Also, it's much smaller than any other flashlights out there, fits perfectly in any pocket or you can clip it to your badge.

7. Afraid of Nursing as a Male?

   qbedobedoo replied to pilot833's topic in Men

   I think we've all had those. If I get a sense that the patient would prefer a female nurse for what ever procedure, I always offer to get one for them. Most times they simply acknowledge the sensitivity of the situation and refuses.

10. What are acceptable scrub colors for guys?

    qbedobedoo replied to j_tay1981's topic in Men

    If there are no restrictions to your scrubs, I would simply chose a color you feel comfortable in... although pink may be pushing it a bit.. I have tons of pockets on my scrubs, all on my legs though. Pockets on your stomach is not for me, but hey,...

11. Afraid of Nursing as a Male?

    qbedobedoo replied to pilot833's topic in Men

    Going through any schooling, being completely upfront and verbal about how you feel, can be a bad idea. Remember you need to pass certain tests. No matter where you work and what you do, you will encounter people who'll **** you off. If I were you, I...
