1. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

   bones221 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Students

   Sorry about that. I thought this was an open forum. I didn't realize you were exclusively addressing those who may find it necessary to display their impressiveness with their command of "big enough words". I'll bow out of the discussion by askin...

2. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

   bones221 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Students

   Oh yeah, nearly forgot. I certainly don't have the goal of being a nurse anesthetist, am I less impressive because of that? Do med-surge specialists have something to be embarrassed about because they may not have any goal to continue to advanced ...

   bones221 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Students

   "I feel a little embarassed about being a nurse." " When people ask I tell them "'Im an Emergency Room R.N ... it avoids possible embarrassment" "I still have trouble saying that "N" word! (NURSING!)" Jeebus people, quit being pansies and man up. Wh...

5. How would you have handled this?

   bones221 replied to radoncrn's topic in School

   OK, I'm not a nurse yet. In fact, I don't even start school for a few months yet. A bunch of years ago I was an EMT...So take me with a giant grain of salt. It seems to me that ANY time Heimlich needs to be administered a trip to the ED is advisa...

6. Stupid question

   bones221 replied to Boltthrower's topic in Men

   I'm recently accepted to nursing school, and have recently started as a CNA. I have sported a goatee or full beard and moustache for over twenty years now. I'd hate to have to get rid of it, but will certainly do so if needed. Anyway, I've been k...

7. GUYS and CNA first

   bones221 replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Men

   Good for you! You may find, like I did, that you'll realize that your patients are just people. People who are ill, who's bodies are failing them, or in recovery...People who need help. It didn't take me long at all to realize that it could be me,...

   A few years back I went to school to become a massage therapist. Ya know, there were people in my class with "touch issues". Why in Glub's name would someone go to massage therapist school when they are unable to touch people or accept the touch of...

   I start nursing school in August. I started my CNA job two weeks ago. I am fortunate enought to be working in a top notch facility. The pay kinda sucks. The residents are wonderful. The staff exceptional. Not to be too pollyanna here, but I fin...

10. Male + Nurse = Murse

    bones221 replied to awilhelm's topic in Men

    I can't tell you how excited I am to be starting nursing school this August! It's been a long strange trip coming to this point, but that's probably the case for a lot of us here. I just wanted to it say again, to whoever will listen. The term "mal...
