   Sexually harrassing a patient SUUUCKS!! I feel bad for you. I don't even know what to say. I wish I could just tell you to report the bastard and everything will work out, but I don't know your hospital. My mom, many years ago, went through restruct...

   Thanks for the explanation... I'm still in school so I don't have a lot of ideas regarding issues like this... if it's even an issue at all :)

7. Guys: Just Curious - Need Your Opinions

   kafene replied to Dottie78's topic in Male Students

   Like the other poster said, I think (hope) he said it just to play around. Most men (or women) don't get into a profession to "find chicks", unless you're a Chip 'N Dales dancer and even then it's not all of them. I think he just had a brain fart a...

8. Ughhh....Microbiology!!

   kafene replied to SmetRN2008's topic in General Students

   Man, I feel for you. That was one of the classes I really struggled in. I don't think it would have been so bad if I was a full time student, but I was working at the beginning portion of the class and it was a struggle after starting off badly... G...

12. Men intimidated by RN salary?

    kafene replied to ment2be's topic in General Nursing

    You're not talking specifically about RN's, right? You pretty much mean any guy who makes less than the girl. I guess some guys do, but most probably don't.

14. doctors treatment of nurses??

    kafene replied to nursejllrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if ignoring would work with me. First "offense", sure. Second? MAYBE, but by the third, you definitely haven't gotten the body cues and it needs to be dealt with... Luckily, I'm a student who hasn't had a bad doctor.. yet.
