1. Why the double standard.

   RorySeiter replied to RN2364's topic in Men

   I have never asked a female coworker to cath a female patient. I have never had a patient express any concerns about what I am doing. I have had male coworkers be uncomfortable with female patients. Just be professional and don't overthink it.

2. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

   RorySeiter replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

   Like I was told very early on, "suck it up buttercup". We take care of everyone. We do what we need to do. Be a professional.

3. MEN, dont come into nursing

   RorySeiter replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men

   MEN - come into nursing. Qualified candidates will have no problem finding a job. WOMEN - come into nursing. Qualified candidates will have no problem finding a job. Who cares what country you are from. Be nice and have fun. Life is good.

4. No more rudeness!

   RorySeiter replied to WheatGerm's topic in Relations

   Don't be so sensitive. Toughen up buttercup. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

5. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   RorySeiter replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   I buy whatever I want. Then I go home and swim in a pool of money like Scrooge McDuck. Oh no, I am lying, I am a nurse. We ain't that rich!

6. Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

   RorySeiter replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

7. The every year Snow thread

   RorySeiter replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

   It has been a mild winter here in Alaska. We just go to work. It might snow a few feet, it might not. We just go.

9. Male and Gay?!

   RorySeiter replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Male Students

   Nursing is one of the few places where gender, race, class, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, eating habits, car driven, looks, and almost anything else doesn't matter. It seems more important if you aren't a Seahawks fan here in Seattle. Now that will ...

10. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    RorySeiter replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Students

    I agree. I just had a great OB rotation. Male. Student. Dealt with food. I had no problems. I had patients kick out the family but let me stay in the room.

13. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    RorySeiter replied to stephdRN's topic in ADN/BSN

    I did not read this whole thread as it was too long. Most people are very supportive. This topic is huge in my ADN program. Turns out, you can thank the IOM (Institute of Medicine). "The committee recommends that the proportion of nurses with baccala...

14. What are your non nursing passions?

    RorySeiter posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am nearly done with nursing school and one of the reasons that I got into it was because I love fly fishing. A 3 on, 4 off schedule is good for my fishing habits. Traveling to different parts of the country (hopefully world) to fish, and still have...

15. Chest hair

    RorySeiter replied to Ninjateagan's topic in Men

    Our program recommended that we cover chest hair if we were extra hairy. I think that it was more the preference of the administrators than an actual rule of the program. Clinical placement was very difficult for our program and they don't want the n...
