  1. Male Nursing Student, Want to Work OB

    Ain't equality great! They want it all, but don't ask them to be fair in return. Soon males will be the new minority
  2. New Nurse BULLIED/UNDERMINED/DRIVEN OUT

    There are some real _itches out there. Use college references, and any nurse that you have workrd with. There is such a need for nurses someone will hire you. I have been where you are. Get busy looking for another job. Move on. You can do it! I did,...
  3. Thank you for your infomative reply! I'm sure to have questions later. :)
  4. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    Divide and conquer. You just responded the way they, management, wanted you to. You are now part of the quagmire that reports anything and everything to management so you can all walk on pins and needles!
  5. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    Tell it like it is brother! Those same hostile environment laws apply to men too! The females seem to forget that. One good lawsuit with them personally listed as well as the company as defendents will stop the BS! Use a voice activated tape recorder...
  6. Show me the Money

    I strongly suggest you job shadow in several different areas for a full shift following a particular nurse around all day, so you see everything involved before you make such a commitment.
  7. I want to change careers from nursing to teaching, help!

    I strongly suggest you job shadow, and I mean every minute, three different nurses in three different settings, e.g. hospital med surg, LTC nursing home, redi med, etc. Why? A nurse is responsible for their routine stuff, like meds and Tx's plus if a...
  8. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    Your advice was quite good! There really is alot of male bashing in the nursing workplace. That being said, your insight, and advice is well received. Tell us some more.
  9. Experiences of the male nursing student

    What's the difference between acute dialysis and regular?
  10. Experiences of the male nursing student

    I am a male LPN with 1 year experience. I also hold a B.S. in management and two asociates degrees. I want to pursue dialysis work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:)
  11. Experiences of the male nursing student

    The equal opportunity and treatment you recieve in the army should be no less than the opportunity and treatment that a male gets. That being said, you are wrong to deny them the opportuity to perform their jobs as nurses. Let's say a male mechanic m...
  12. Ratio at first job

    ] You must remember that the good nurse/patient ratiois protect your license and give the patient better care because you actually have time to provide the care. IN LTC any more than 30 residents to one nurse is too much! I work a 50:1 ratio hall and...
  13. I am looking for your type position. I have a marketing degree, and have been an LPN for one year. I previously did outside sales. My question is: What is involved in your assesment of potential new residents, and how long do you spend on one potenti...
  14. Why can't we just be nurses anymore?!?!?

    You can't. That's why we need good nurse to patient ratios. It's a win/win for both! The state legislature is the only way to go.
  15. Pre-pouring meds

    I must speak up. Where I work overtime is forbidden. You somehow, (haven't figured out how yet), must get pre-approval for all overtime, quite difficult on the off shifts, since management isin't there. Yet, when you are already sooo busy, and someth...
