   I always keep these things in my house, and in my vehicle. (consider it the boy scout/soldier in me to be a little over prepared, but better over than under) You can customize your kit to accommodate your likely needs. with glass be prepared for lot...

   deiseldawg replied to devildog0311's topic in Male Students

   Was not a marine. Army Special Forces 05-09. Honestly after being deployed and the long days and hours I am looking forward to a 3 day work week. But I do agree that especially the group of kids my age and a little older that have had the combat str...

3. dating at work?

   deiseldawg replied to Medsport's topic in Men

   I would go on a few dates as friends. If you want to get more serious, ask you manager what they would do. If you are letting them know you are willing to get a new job, they might amend the policy. You might have to work different shifts, and wou...

4. Can't get it out of my head

   deiseldawg replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Nursing

   Do not dwell on it. You have to rationalize things out. If you had not been there to see it you would have likely been looking at a body in casket. Instead of seeing a blue and dying child, get a picture of the girl after the accident and when you ...

   If you want a BSN and your scores are good and you live in state, you can go to MCG on Hope. I know the main campus is in Augusta, and I think satellite campuses in Athens and Columbus.

9. New MALE nurse asking for fashion advice! Help please...?

   deiseldawg replied to _quarks_RN_'s topic in Men

   If you want to stand out get you a conservative suit (dark). Wear a shirt and tie. Dressing up shows that you are serious about the job and willing to go above and beyond the person who wears the minimum dress code. Just wear a conservative tie, no...

11. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    deiseldawg replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men

    I saw a few female doctors, PA, and NP when I was at my university health center and they would have another staff member present. It did not have to be a male and a female in the room. The policy seems problematic to me because any policy should ...

12. Shoes for Men

    deiseldawg replied to Shotty's topic in Uniform/Gear

    For standing up I recommend avoiding a running shoe. They are designed to make you roll up onto the ball of your foot. Walking shoes or cross trainers tend to keep the weight evenly distributed on your feet.
