    Nunya replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

  2. I am being discriminated against because I am a male nurse

    Nunya replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

  5. Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation - Can I be Forced to Work?

    Nunya replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    But what about the hospital's duty to provide a safe place for you to work at? If you know your hospital is only rated for Cat 2 ( I've never heard of this but I don't dispute it) and this is Cat 4...

  6. No Call/No Show - Is My License at Risk?

    Nunya replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Old nurse won't retire

    Nunya replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right. I CHOSE not to get married because the man I fell in love with turned out not to love me forever. I CHOSE not to have children because I didn't think I could do it alone....

    Nunya replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

  10. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

    Nunya replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's the 1% job outlook you care about, I think you just don't want to take OB, amiright? Well, I didn't want to take psych either 30+ years ago, and I wasn't too crazy about med-surg ....

  13. New to ICU

    Nunya replied to Nurse Malone's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't start in an ICU but a Level 2 NICU. Back then it was pretty much everything but vents. We had 4 patients, or started with three and always always got a transfer from the Level 3 NICU....

  15. New nurse staying way past 9:30 pm on day shift

    Nunya replied to connecticut23's topic in First Year After Licensure
