  1. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    To get back to the OP--I would love to have a mentor at work. That is a great idea and I think that would help tremendously. Should men get special favors? No. I would like to say in an ideal world, it would be nice if us guys were included. In colle...
  2. MO Hospital offering $5,000 sign-on bonus to new grads

    I graduated there. They have two nursing schools but pay nothing for BSNs. It was $19 when I left and I had $30 grand in student loans.
  3. MO Hospital offering $5,000 sign-on bonus to new grads

    Mercy, the hospital this bonus is at, and Cox are the only two hospitals in Springfield. They run a duopoly in that region of south Missouri and north Arkansas. They are extremely dishonest and greedy companies that pay their nurses horribly. Actuall...
  4. Over 30 Years Later, We're Still Talking About Workplace Mistreatment

    Since I posted that reply comment things have gotten worse. I've been keeping dates and times of conversations in a notebook and plan on going to HR tomorrow. I'm going to try to transfer to another hospital within our system.
  5. Over 30 Years Later, We're Still Talking About Workplace Mistreatment

    I think that was a great article and well researched. So here is my story. I've been in my unit since january and I'm the only guy besides the doctors. The first two weeks I was told by two separate co-workers that men are ran off and that the charge...
  6. Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    glad you like my analogies lol--my coworkers said the same thing, "I am not eating spring rolls the same way ever again!"
  7. Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

    I really want to reply and be sarcastic but will hold back. No one looks at penises every day. No one is getting turned on by inserting foleys into their patient. I've probably inserted five in my entire nursing career and 4 of those 5 were from pati...
  8. Answering Navy Nurse Recruiting Questions

    Congrats on getting what you wanted! All of the branches want OR experienced nurses so I am in the process of switching to that area very soon. Would you mind telling me how much the bonus or loan repayment was? I know it changes often, but still. An...
  9. Answering Navy Nurse Recruiting Questions

    So the Army only took one month? Would you mind answering some questions for me? what type of nursing do you do? For the Reserves, is GPA a big component of your package? I'm at a 3.2 but I had a really strange GPA system at my private nursing progra...
  10. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    I hear what you are saying and am really surprised by this. Will they at least take my four years prior enlisted time towards retirement? I would love to wear my previous ribbons again. So being with the Reserves or Guard, do you get to go TDY for tr...
  11. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    that is redonculous! So, the four years count how exactly? I think mine is exactly four years. I'd have to double check my DD 214.
  12. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    Lindarn, Great post. If everything goes well, I should be in the Reserves next year as an OR nurse. Ya, my hospital finds ways to "punish" nurses which is why I have a Plan B and six months of cash saved up in case they decide to get really stupid. R...
  13. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    I don't want to downplay your discrimination. I will tell you that in nursing school as a guy and also as someone who served in the military, I faced discrimination repeatedly. Well maybe not discrimination, but I did have to suffer from instructors ...
  14. Why don't you just read the chart?

    A few things: The EHR software in the ED is different then the EHR software on the floor so we can't see what you see. I need report from you because at my hospital, about 90% of the time we get patients when the ED nurses are about to leave their sh...
  15. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Typically the photos are stock photos, at least that's what my school used. Your RACE (why did you put that in caps?) won't be an issue. And having a stellar GPA in another field doesn't always correlate to nursing school. It's a whole different bree...
