  1. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    So far the only people in my program that know I'm gay is the one girl I went to high school with. She might have told a few of her friends in the program, but they haven't said anything to me or anyone else about it. I'm not afraid to be out in the ...
  2. Any cnas around to chat?

    Nice to meet you too! Yay for Ohio! Us Ohioans gotta stick together haha. That's gotta be a long drive back from work if you live an hour away. I only have a 3 minute drive and its still too much for me haha.
  3. Any cnas around to chat?

    Hey! Nice to meet you too. I also work in a nursing home. I work third shift. I really like it, but I'd really like to work in a hospital. I've got two more years of nursing school and then I'll do that. I've only been a CNA for a year, but I've defi...

    Hey! I'm Kyle, a CNA in Ohio. Nice I meet everyone! :)
  5. Male nurse song

    Thanks for sharing this video and your story. Truly inspiring. I know my friends are going to love it when I show them.
  6. I got the same reactions from work. The only thing you can really do is keep your mouth shut :/ Thats what I have to do. The only time I talk about school is if I get asked about it. The LPN's and RN's are all very happy that I'm in nursing school, a...
  7. Are all CNAs mean

    Not all CNA's are mean and grumpy. A lot of the ones I work with are amazing. There are the few, however, that are constant complainers and tend to bring everyone else down. It is a very stressful job, and they don't get nearly enough credit. Once th...
  8. How did you get your nursing home job?

    I just walked into as many nursing homes as possible and applied. I kept calling and calling them, asking about my application, if they had reviewed it, if there were any openings. I'd call every week to check up on them until I got a job. It didn't ...
  9. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    I definitely know how you feel. I transferred nursing schools, and I still get phone calls and texts about all the drama and tests and crap that happens down there. I love going down there to visit, but I had to limit it because I couldn't take all t...
  10. Help a Senior out :3

    I'm a CNA in a nursing home, and I do occasionally get a resident who doesn't want me because I'm a guy. But thats just something that comes with the job and being a guy. Some people just aren't comfortable with it. But when other people find out I'm...
  11. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    So far I've had no trouble with being gay and in a nursing program. This is my second one I'm in because I had to transfer schools. In my first one all the girls loved me (hey, I can't help it!) We were best friends and I always had people to study w...
  12. Nursing sucks

    I'm a CNA in a nursing home, and all the nurses there just seem miserable. It sorta discourages me as a nursing student. I'm just trying to keep my head up and look at the positives!!
  13. You Know You're A Nurse If...

    When you visit a friend in the hospital and have to resist the urge to empty their catheter. When your friend calls you for medical advice and you use terms such as "q" and "PRN" and they tell you to talk English.
  14. I'm probably gonna buy plane tickets to Utah to visit my family, and then another ticket to California to visit my best friend. Then my own apartment, then a car. Then I'll go from there!
  15. Male CNA

    I deal with this on a daily basis at work. At first a lot of the new female residents are really uncomfortable with me, but once they realize that I'm not doing anything inappropriate and just trying to help them, they let me help. But, like the resi...
