1. Tropical Medicine & Nursing?

   MaleRN2B posted a topic in Career Support

   At 40 I've finally decided that I'm going to quit my job in 6 months and pursue an accelerated BSN. I've scheduled a visit at the state school about 30 miles from home instead of the larger university here because the focus there is still on clinica...

2. SARS and bird-flu.

   MaleRN2B replied to Dinith88's topic in Disease

   That's interesting information. Do you remember the swine flu in the 70s? It's another one that can jump species and infect humans. Marc

   I got to do a happy dance and tell some of my co-workers "I told ya so" this morning when it was announced that the ivory-billed woodpecker is not extinct and was confirmed to be living in Arkansas along the White River. My only error was that I sai...

4. What's nursing school like?

   MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Students

   I thought about med school too and I think that if you can figure out what role you really want to play in the patient's care, you'll have your answer there. It appears your initial instinct is nursing. School is just the preparation for where you ...

   There really is a surplus of some animals because we have historically eliminated predators and upset the balance of things. We don't like coyotes, or wolves, or snakes or sharks and the list goes on. At one time farmers killed hawks, owls, and eag...

   Thanks for sharing. I'm currently an administrator with my state's fish and wildlife agency and we're looking at all the reasons people are giving up hunting and fishing. We have almost allowed a whole generation or two to become completely disconn...

   I'd rather have a thrombose vein.

8. What's nursing school like?

   MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Students

   Thanks for the feedback, Pickles. I suppose that whether it's an Asian, man, woman, or Black person coming into the room, you have to place your confidence in their training and skills. A nurse is a nurse. It then becomes up to the nurse to reassu...

   Isn't home birth great??? I filmed my best friend's 4th child being born into the world with family and friends waiting to receive him at home. I had watched the videos of her other 3 children being born in hospital and she told me what she liked a...

10. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    MaleRN2B replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men

    I worked in an all female environment for 4 years and it's a fact that men and women are different. The dynamics are very different and as a male I was often stereotyped. With the exception of one who had had a baby, I was the only person on the st...

    I was a Peace Corps Volunteer from '95 - '97. It is a wonderful experience. I really miss it but was also glad to come home when I was done. I hadn't seen my family for over 2 years. Most "real" jobs overseas either pay you enough to come home ev...

13. SARS and bird-flu.

    MaleRN2B replied to Dinith88's topic in Disease

    I'm not a nurse but a biologist and my understanding is that avian influenza is the pathogen and SARS is how it presents itself. Apologies if I appear ignorant on the subject but it is of interest to me. I once thought about veterinary school and r...

    absolutely you want to use black tea. i'm sure chai was introduced into kenya when the indians came to build the railroads inland from the coast and it probably has local variations around the world depending on what spices are available.
