  1. Male nurses and SANE

    Just a quick update ...i graduated in 2008 and have worked in the long term care setting since then. I am no longer looking into forensic nursing or SANE training. Still meeting obstacles and negativity...so in the meantime, i am working on my issues...
  2. Male nurses and SANE

    I was in the Air Force from June 1990 - Feb 1992. And, yes it felt like a prison. I went all the way to the base commander and got absolutely no justice. After discharge, I discovered that there are no records concerning this in my files - no medi...
  3. Male nurses and SANE

    No, it would not astound me. Earlier in life it would have, but not now. While I am pursuing my interest in forensic nursing, I am researching the various facets of male rape. Very little surprises me anymore. Pains me, yes. Thank you so much for...
  4. Male nurses and SANE

    palesarah, I am still checking out various avenues to forensics in the area. I mentioned my goal to work with male victims to my advisor. She informed me the only SANE work being done in the area is in another state 3 hours away. Something has to ...
  5. Male nurses and SANE

    Just a quick update for those interested. Since I started considering working with male rape victims, I have started working on some issues myself. I was gang raped 15 years ago while in the military. This was ongoing for about 11 months. This sai...
  6. Male nurses and SANE

    Thanks Casi ! I didn't know I did either, to be honest with you. I had always thought more along the lines of counseling or something. The forensic aspect of ithad never occured to me. Thanks to all of you who have posted here. It has really made...
  7. Male nurses and SANE

    Thanks for the positive response to my last post. I worried that I was being too strong, but I felt the need to do so anyway. Jlamb -are you meeting with any success with the Governor's Task Force? Timothy - I understand 100% where you are coming fr...
  8. Male nurses and SANE

    I was a victim of gang rape occurring over a period of 18 months while serving in the military. A female nurse was assigned to me. Her response was "Bend over and take it like a man or be a real man and do something about it!" As I went through th...
  9. Male nurses and SANE

    Thanks a lot guys! This is exactly the type of feedback I hoped for. As a victim of rape myself, I can understand the validity of the argument against having a male SANE working with the female victims. However, I need to point out there are inst...
  10. Male nurses and SANE

    I am just starting as a student nurse. However, I feel "pulled" towards forensic nursing. I wonder if anyone would care to give an honest opinion of this as a future career for a male nurse. Possible (way off in the future) career ideas I have cons...
  11. I need advice about cocaine addiction

    You have all my prayers too Dutchgirl!!! I am still having to dish tough love to my sister. Please feel free to e-mail or instant message me if you feel the need. Never think you have to face this alone!!!!!
  12. I need advice about cocaine addiction

    Dutchgirl: I agree wholeheartedly with Thunderwolf. However (small chance, but...) if he does get help at some point, we addicts have to come to terms with those that we hurt. Keep track of everything and see if he ever does. This is another way o...
  13. Advice for new student (Psych vs. DD)

    Thanks for the input everyone. If I go with DD, I want to work in the institutional setting with the profound cases. They need so much, yet ask for so little....

    Thanks for the help guys!!! Perhaps a dual Bachelor's in Psych?
  15. I need advice about cocaine addiction

    Dutchgirl: I too am proud of you. I myself was addicted (crack and heroin). To put it in a nutshell, I had a TRUE FRIEND and I told him to tie me up to the bed and leave me. He did (and checked on me as necessary) but basically, I quit cold turkey...
