1. If a MD says "Don't Call Back"- do you write that as an order?

   malenurse1 replied to proudnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

   My experiance is that when you tell a Doc that you are going to chart that he said "don't call back" they generally back up and re-evaluate that particular order. I had a urologist who I called at 2230 about an I&O issue on a CBI patient. His res...

2. Nurse Campy Fancy Pants!

   malenurse1 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

   I found this to be very amusing! I love my scrubs and I can totally relate (except the hair bun, lol). At my hospital all of the RNs wear a bright red tag attached to our name badges that proudly states RN. When a patient mistakenly calls me doctor, ...

3. Males and Technology

   malenurse1 replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men

   The only Nurses on my unit that use PDA's are the 2 guys. One of the women has one, but she hasn't figured out how to use it for anything but solitaire yet. I have offered to help her with that. Usually when a patient can't figure out how to use t...

4. Crazy Tampon Commercial

   malenurse1 replied to nightfall2099's topic in Humor

   Quite frankly, I think that it is a shame that any female has to miss school, or work for that matter (I worked with a CNA who left work early without permission because she had cramps), because of her peroid. There alot of place in Africa that requ...

5. Male nurse crying!!!

   malenurse1 replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men

   Each man deal with his emotions in his own way. I was raised by a career military father and crying was not to be tolerated from a man. FORTUNATELY, I have grown past that! When my mother died, I cried, alone and in private, but I cried. When my ...

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

   malenurse1 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men

   I would report the offender. Comments like that are way out of line and unacceptable in a professional environment, and it doenst matter if you are straight, gay or bi-sexual. That type of behavior should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

7. have you ever been accused of sexual harassment?

   malenurse1 replied to jnmoore02's topic in Men

   I always try to have a female present when I have to do anything that exposes a female patients genitalia. I always ask my female patients if they would be more comfortable with one of the female nurses doing things like catheter insertion, supposit...

    malenurse1 replied to UnidentifiedNurse's topic in Humor

    I have seen lots of these ones but usually they are covered in tats! LMAO!!!

11. You know you're a male RN when......

    malenurse1 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men

    - You know more about the monthly cycles of your co-workers than yours own spouse/girlfriend! - You know more about your co-workers sex lives than your own! LMAO these are all true!

    Ha Ha Ha! Too funny! I am a Packer fan!!!

14. Being the minority/awkward moments

    malenurse1 replied to Jamie Dale's topic in Men

    Personally, I don't mind being treated like one of the "girls". I look at it this way, when they talk about their personal intimate things around me, I figure I have earned a certain level of trust with them. Even my Ex-wife didn't share some of th...

    malenurse1 replied to luv_2_nurse77's topic in Humor

    Sorry about all the anger in my last post. This has been the most difficult time of my life and I was having a REALLY bad day with the Ex. I just kind of exploded. Please accept my deepest, heartfelt, sincerest apology. I AM SORRY!!!
