1. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

   HauseMan replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

   I'm one who grew up in a smoking household, and have had asthma all my life, worsened by it. My stepdad's best solution to the problem was, and I quote, "carry him down to that doctor and get him a shot or sumthin' ", which was never a solution to a...

2. which stethoscpoe 2 buy

   HauseMan replied to matildas33's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I own a Littmann Cardiology II and I love it, although it's a bit bulky at times. Got mine as a factory refurb. This model has the bell/diaphragm configuration, where the newer Cardiology III does not. The Littmann Classic IISE, the de-facto stand...

3. Equivalency exam to sit for the LPN boards

   HauseMan replied to Stacia1's topic in Georgia

   OK...here's what I found at the GA Secretary Of State's website: http://sos.georgia.gov/plb/faqs/13%20faqs.htm It's a little vague, but may be of help to some. :typing

4. Equivalency exam to sit for the LPN boards

   HauseMan replied to Stacia1's topic in Georgia

   My information has it that the State Of GA does NOT allow for LPN by equivalency. I took the MA course, which is very similar to an LPN course, at Bryman in Atlanta in the early 90's. Lots of LPN's tell me they got their licenses by equivalency, so...

5. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

   HauseMan replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men

   Absolutely ! In fact, if not already, it should be policy to leave silly neurotic behaviour such as stereotyping AT HOME. It has no place on the job, especially when, as luck might have it, the next patient one treats just might be a gay person. W...

6. Nurses Smoking

   HauseMan replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

   What are your thoughts on a that smokes? Not a very good nurse ! As one who suffers from fragrance/smoke sensitivity, I cannot have any nursing staff that smokes taking care of me. I guess I'd die at the rate things are going nowadays. I've seen "nur...

7. Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

   HauseMan replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men

   Medical Assistant for me.....working health fairs and flu shot drives.

8. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

   HauseMan replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

   No matter WHO this doctor THINKS he is, comments like this are NOT acceptable, and very unbecoming of a physician. Their kids have no business being babysat by the nursing staff, and that too is not a good thing. I remember a scene from Emergency! w...

9. Men Nurses - Survey about YOU!

   HauseMan replied to statshound's topic in Men

   Doesn't really apply to MA's who do health fair screenings, but I took it anyway. Nicely done.

10. Any males working in Pediatric Med/Surg or PICU?

    HauseMan replied to Lericalpoet's topic in Men

    I did all the pictures when my sister's kids were born. She wanted to be able to show them where babies actually come from, and not be sugar-coating the "big talk". The doctor and I worked great together, and he even directed me on several priceles...

11. sexual harrassment

    HauseMan replied to ChristinaV's topic in General Nursing

    Clee1, do you remember the incident at the hospital in Jasper, the old location (not the new facility on 515, but on 53 in town), when a female nurse had to shoot in order to protect herself from a male assailant, and only missed one shot ? It was m...

12. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    HauseMan replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men

    this has no place in nursing or in any other healthcare environment, period. the coworkers should be disciplined and suspended. obviously, the coworkers have some "issues" of their own, like, maybe, immaturity ??? a male nurse (or in my case ma)...

13. Male nurse crying!!!

    HauseMan replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men

    At last, another healthcare professional who's also a rocker ! I'm new to the forum, and feel quite a relief when I meet anyone who respects Sir Eddie...let's me know I'm among friends. When I'm not doing my MA gigs, I play a Les Paul, the now-coll...

14. Portamedic Position?

    HauseMan replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also interested in doing exams for Portamedic. There's a location down the road from me, and I've already faxed my resume', but I wanted to hear a little more about the pay (duh, of course) and whether one is 1099 or W2. Judging from your heade...
