    Smallpox Vaccinations

    Other than my Army buddies I am about the only person I know with two of these scars. We received smallpox vaccinations during induction to the army in the 1980's and were in the age group that had received them in school. I was in an infantry rapid ...

    Relocating to Phoenix

    So are you guys saying no ADN jobs ANYWHERE? What about LTC, SNF, urgent care, etc etc? Any way the CC are so cheap and the progression looks so smooth I don't see any advantage spending the extra money to go straight to UA after finish the LPN refre...

    If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    Anyway, Lawyers will jump in an instant when the right offer comes along. Which is why they so often have contracts that specify lengthy notice periods and non-compete agreements. Doctors too. I went thru 4 PCP in 3 years with one clinic. Finally lef...

    Can I lose my license???

    Just to address one very narrow issue with this; How can this be practicing medincine w/o a license? If I give a pt an aspirin (or any treatment) in a clinical environment w/o DO then I am practicing medicine w/o a license. But if I do that to myself...

    Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    With the segregation of men and women, wouldn't there be a significant demand for men who are nurses?

    CBC article this morning on immigration/nurses

    Well, it's a REALLLLY long swim. or, perhaps, I enjoy just being a househusband. In reality it has been difficult to pull myself away from what is a fun and well paid job here. But ultimately it is just a job and not a career. Nursing is what I am ca...

    Male Nurse Hair Styles

    ^^^^^This And the OP states he has had this haircut since he was a small boy and has grown into it. I doubt that is the case. Usually we grow OUT of things rather than IN to them. Especially haircuts. I remember when my barber refused to renew my fl...

    Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    As I noted in another thread, the local hospital in my home town has several nurses who are men. The most requested (yes, pt's coming back for baby 2 3 or 4 make requests) is a man.

    Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    Mostly just on this board. A few of my fellow students also, but they got past that after the first term in nursing school. But in actual practice I havent seen it at all.

    Men In Nursing Issues

    The local hospital in my home town has several male nurses in OB. In fact, the most requested nurse in that department is a guy. You are perpetuating stereotypes yourself. Please explain to me why you think gender 'really matters' in OB?

    CBC article this morning on immigration/nurses

    I'm patronizing? 'just a house husband' REALLY? come on. maybe there is some difference in training between US and Canada. We teach nurses not to be judgmental or sexist. Doesn't mean it sinks in on all of us. That is as bad as if I were to refer to ...

    CBC article this morning on immigration/nurses

    You seem to think that because I am in the US I can't possibly know anything about nursing in BC. If proximity is how you determine that then I am in a far better position to be in the know that is for sure. I am only 1 hour drive from Vancouver, les...

    You do realize I was responding to a comment in this thread? Regardless of if it is a 'Canadian' forum. I made an appropriate response to a previous post. As I will respond to yours. This seems to be a quite appropriate venue to discuss the (few) di...
