   dm22 replied to djc1981's topic in Male Students

   I work as a tech, and a couple of times younger male patients have requested that I come in and help clean them instead of their female nurse. Never had a female patient refuse assistance because I have a Y chromosome.

8. scope of practice?

   dm22 replied to dm22's topic in Government

   thank you Sir, for providing me with insight into the field. I am just starting a BSN program, so I will not be done until 2009. For my first duty station I will try to request San Diego, but I know that it is really according to the needs of the Nav...

    Question for the current or former military nurses; Is it true that in the military the scope of practice for nurses is much greater than in the civilian world? If so, what sort of things are nurses permitted and required to perform?

    dm22 replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Texas

    I am signed up for an EMT-I class. So I don't think I will be able to attend FOCUS or CANDO. Will I be at a serious disadvantage due to not attending? or will my EMS experience make up for it?
