   themurseman replied to andywolfe's topic in New Nurse

   Why does it even matter?

2. Guys, do you take this personally?

   themurseman replied to bethannie's topic in Men

   A patient demanding to not have a male nurse is discrimination. Any way you look at it, it is discrimination. That being said, I do not take offense to a female pt wanting a female nurse. People would think differently if a male pt demanded to have...

3. Should I tell nursing school I have a hearing loss?

   themurseman replied to alwaysfaithful's topic in Disabilities

   Honesty. Tell them. They want to know. If your hearing loss causes you any problems later they will be less likely to be lenient. Tell them up front.

4. Vent thread "universal" health care

   themurseman replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism

   Everyone deserves some sort of coverage. It is not the role of Government to provide that coverage. Everyone should have to sacrifice a little to provide this coverage for themselves. The Government should only help out those who truly need help. ...

9. How likely is it to get laid off?

   themurseman replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

   I am sure there are examples of companies or hospitals having lay-offs and having to let go people who were good employees. However, for the most part, if someone is losing their job they should have some careful introspection. I understand that pe...

11. Question for the fellas....

    themurseman replied to RNYC's topic in Men

    I would think that males have a pretty good advantage. There is much less drama than with females. Much less absenteeism. More honest work. I am going to write a book when I retire about having to spend a career in a female dominated profession. ...

    themurseman replied to Medsport's topic in Men

    Oh, it is definitely a male nurse top. Guys here wear tops like that all the time. It keeps the top from being to baggy around the mid section. Dude, if you like it, then wear it. Its a guys top.

13. How likely is it to get laid off?

    themurseman replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

    A RN should not "worry" about being laid off. There will always be lay off's. Not all companies and hospitals always perform well. It should not be difficult for an experienced RN to find a job if they were to find themselves laid off. It might no...

14. Is it sexist....

    themurseman replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Men

    I would think it sexist if the male is expected to do so. There is nothing wrong with asking. In fact, I tell people I work with to ask me for help whenever they need it. I would never hesitate to ask them for help. I guess I was just raised that...

15. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    themurseman replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Ill try to make this thread funny again. This happened to an experienced nurse that I work with. She always talks sweet to her pt's. For example, if she missed an iv or blood draw she might say, "your poor little hand." Not really my thing, but a...
