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

   Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   No sense delving into a conversation where people are just going to bring emotions into the fray. The studies are blatantly skewed for an agenda, but most people either have very little knowledge of statistics or didn't bother to actually read them. ...

   Right, same thing for pushing women into male dominated fields.

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

   Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   Salaries vs wages vs overall earnings Negotiation The studies I have seen are so full of holes I wonder how they even got published. I am not going to delve into this topic but it has been debunked so many times ad nauseum I grow tired of seeing it.

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

   Dranger replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   I am a male nurse, there should be NO artificial push to get men into nursing just as there should be NO artificial push to get women into STEM fields. This diversity/inclusiveness BS is getting out of hand. I cringe every time I see that we "need" m...

5. Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

6. Pay

   Dranger replied to rockyroad#'s topic in NP

   I would take 40 an hour if they expect me to sit in my office and play video games all lol...

7. CCNE Releases New Standards

   Dranger replied to Dodongo's topic in NP

   My school had ACEN before CCNE. From my anecdotal experience, CCNE accreditation is preferred. I suspect that if CCNE pushes this ACEN will need to bend the knee. If they don't they will unequivocally be seen as a second rate accreditation (similar t...

8. How do you discuss gender issues with adolescents?

   Dranger replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

   Question: Has anyone ever had a trans patient who didn't have at least anxiety, depression, bipolar or PTSD in their health history? Are the two related? Chicken before the egg kind of thing? Or does the difficulty of being trans cause the aforementi...

9. What's Your Longest Lasting PIV?

   Dranger replied to bgxyrnf's topic in General Nursing

   The 3-4 days things is a myth, I have never seen any actual evidence that it benefits a patient to rotate IV sites unless there is infiltration or obvious infection. 40 days is bit long though and I would question why someone would need IV access fo...

11. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    Dranger replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    RN who did pre-med here. Almost none of the BSN/RN courses counted for pre-med. Just an FYI.

12. Online FNP that doesn't feel self taught?

    Dranger replied to Marina.h's topic in NP Students

    I have heard of it, what's the cost?

13. New NP pay

    Dranger replied to Guest1059175's topic in Advanced

    While NP pay is generally terrible that job is primarily for RNs. I think they threw NP in the chance they get a moron to apply. 25-40 in Cali for a RN is absolutely abysmal in any case.

14. Why I would tell you to stay out of nursing

    Dranger replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Lol 23 year olds with comm degrees get paid 125k starting in Seattle when they work for Amazon/Expedia/Google. Nurses scrounge for 60k.....it's pretty much a joke. At least here.

15. Thinking of giving up FNP program

    Dranger replied to Guest838984's topic in NP Students

    Honestly, for that low of a salary in Cali I rather have a job that is cookie cutter without much autonomy. Why have all the responsibility and scut work without decent pay? NPs wanting 100% autonomy for 135k a year (peanuts in urban parts of Cali)? ...
