   atwtrn replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Students

   Well lets see..YOU SAW THE TOPIC and clicked on it. If you don't want to read about personal lifestyles..THEN DON'T! I had a personal problem in my nursing class with a student. I wanted opinions and I got them. I think your post is offensive. I...

   atwtrn replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Students

   wow..i can't believe so many people responded. I'm glad for all the viewpoints. I just want to make it clear. I am not ashamed of being gay. I just don't think I need to let everyone in my class know. The classmate hasn't brought up the issue ag...

   atwtrn replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Students

   I'm sorry if this thread came off in an elementary school way lol...If this had ocurred in any other setting, I would know exactly what to say. I just know how small our program is and I don't want to be defined by this or treated differently by pro...

   atwtrn posted a topic in Male Students

   :uhoh21: I'm not sure how to handle this. Today a friend of mine told me that a classmate of ours was fishing for information regarding my sexual orientation. This male student was asking inappropriate questions. It makes me uncomfortable that he fee...

   atwtrn replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

   This post makes me nervous. As a student, there have been times when the weather was awful and without a car I rely on bus transportation. I hope that if I work in a snowy area that I have these options....but what If I don't? I'm def going to ask...

7. Need advice for a friend/new male nurse. HELP!

   atwtrn replied to gitterbug's topic in Male Students

   As a gay nursing student, I'm trying to think how I would handle this situation. If I were being treated poorly at work, I suppose I would try to get out of the situation. Any chance this fellow can move to a larger city within the state he currently...

   atwtrn replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

   As someone who knows about expensive health care in the US (9000/treatment x 6/year)...do anything you can to qualify for medicaid. Can you sell the three cars and purchase one? Try calling 1-800-986-baby..or finding someone that deals with WIC. T...

10. Posters that are not nurses

    atwtrn replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I think we should acknowledge that students and new nurses and vets can all offer something valuable. As a student, I'm being taught the most up-to-date research based information. But a vet nurse has been on the job and can offer his/her experienc...

    atwtrn replied to iamcool's topic in General Nursing

    We've always been told to remove earrings b/c they were dangerous (ie a patient could rip our lobe while reaching). IMHO, they are unprofessional. Also, jewelry can harbor bacteria. We were told to remove all jewelry. Wedding bands are allowed bu...

14. MA saying she's "the same as an RN"

    atwtrn replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

    I'm just trying to say that we can all agree that there is a difference between the training and scope of practice of RNs and MAs but that we all want to care for the patient. The patient needs the Doc, the Nurse, the NP..but he or she also needs in...

15. How would seeing a dead patient affect you personally?

    atwtrn replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    My first patient died while I was observing in the ER. He had a massive MI. His stomach was full of air and he was blue and bloated. I was sort of in shock and I cried when I got home and realized that I witnessed this man's last moments. Is it ...
