I would like opinions from the rest of you guys. It seems everywhere I turn that there is this double standard that men nurses should not be providing care for any of women's intimate needs. I am still in nursing school, but it seems women nurses h...

Thanks I really appreciate your recommendations. I will look into Girard!

Does anyone have any experience working for this hospital? Especially how they treat their nurses, and is their pay competitive?

Currently I am working dual diagnosis and I would love to continue to work with this population.

Thanks for the reply, Im planning to move to Philadelphia in January and I'm looking for prospective employment opportunities as a Pysch nurse.

Landau for Men is all I wear. Tons of pockets and extremely durable.

No regrets at all, I am still a newbie, but very content with becoming a nurse!

I must reply now that this post has resurfaced, that I haven't experienced any bias now that I am a new RN at a different hospital. I feel that I am treated equally amongst my peers, who are right in my same age range. Not saying that more mature ...

Does anyone know any hospitals in the Pittsburgh area that offer new grads the opportunity to work in the ICU and offer a reasonable orientation period?

Risk for Impaired family process r/t altered parental responsibilities secondary to chemical impairment

Maybe some rest, but I'll also be doing an internship and working, maybe even see my family!

Sounds like Martyrdom to me, hopefully nursing is now becoming a profession where people are respected for the work they do, not stepped on!

I think you hit the nail squarely on the head with this post! Everyone should play to their strengths.

A large part of nursing school is self study, whereas they teach you how to seek out and find the information you need. Therefore, it is expected of you in your future occupation to keep your education current, by seeking out new information as it i...

I totally agree with everyone that the patients feeling are the priority, without a doubt. My concern lies with the biases which exist in nurses and nursing instructors in the field.

This loan situation seems like a scam. And just for a reference I will be completeing my second Associate Degree this one in Nursing with a total of 15,000 dollars in loans for both degrees. No cash out of pocket! You may want to reconsider your s...

"That which does not kill you will only make you stronger" "C=RN"

Now, there are so many men getting into nursing that (hopefully) eventually the playing field will be level.

I knew I wasn't the only one, and my guess is this attitude is the norm rather than the exception, and I really dislike it. Whether we are male or female we obtain the same knowledge through school and experience, why should our care be limited do t...

I am totally with you, as a patient if you feel uncomfortable with a male nurse then you should get a female nurse no questions asked. My issue lies with being told point blank I can't take care of a female patient simply because I am male, without ...

I'm thinking it is more common with the mature nurses, but it is not limited to them exclusively. I have gotten the same attitude from new 20 something grads as well. I think that the younger patients are more open to male nurses as well.
