    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Equal protection under the law is enshrined in the US Constitution. Anyway, I'm a male nurse and have been one a long time. I don't think I've been subject to any substantive discrimination. There...

    Former drug addicts becoming nurses?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This woman has 10 years of sustained recovery. That is something to be rejoiced and not scrutinized. At 10 years of sustained recovery her chances of abusing drugs are not significantly more than...

    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Me??? No I'm not offended in anyway. As far as letting work get to me, well sure it happens on occasion. I'm a guy but I'm still human. Over the years I've drawn some pretty distinct boundaries...

    Why all the drama with nursing?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. Lots of good advice here. Often I think "drama" serves as a red herring & smoke screen to distract from the real issue. Here the issue is pretty simple. You have been at your job doing...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Commute Time

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to nursechini's topic in General Nursing

    I've done this. My commute was over an hour for about a year and I hated it. I used to work 6 12's & an 8 to cut down on the amount of times I had to make the commute. The worst was after a...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Way to go Kel!!!! They keep knocking us down and some of us keep getting up. This program has nothing to do with recovery. It's simple Darwinism. Nurses who can finance and tolerate this repeated...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NEMurse95's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was a floor nurse for a about a year and really didn't like it. I then spent about a decade & a half in the ER and loved it. Nursing has many roles and faces. You can do a heck of a lot...

    RIP - Rosie the Riveter!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Suspended license

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery
