  1. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that insecurity with their bodies is the problem, and not the gender of the nurse. We need the best nurses possible- not fitting some quota of race, sex,

  2. Catheterisation

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Riqta's topic in General Nursing

    Why does it coming separate matter? You can still assemble it before you

  3. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Eh why would a male feel uncomfortable just because his nurse was female? I remember my pre nursing physical. Nurse said “strip down”. she comes back and I’m standing buck naked. “WHYD YOU...

  5. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Woman’s Hospital Baton Rouge Louisiana. They only hire men for the “Assessment center” and I think they may for NICU as

  6. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t see how it’s different. It’s discrimination whether it’s sex, gender, orientation, etc. The only difference is some are more obvious than others. Such as race or sex vs orientation vs...

  7. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That’s you personally. Just because you care about gender doesn’t mean that’s what everyone does. I’ve had patients tell me they didn’t want a black CNA before. “Sorry, that’s what you...

  8. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    So would it also be the same if they said “I’d prefer not to have a black nurse?” Or “I think my nurse is gay.. I don’t want him to be my

  9. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So these scientific studies take into account everything? I can guarantee you that if there is a complex case, an MD will be overseeing it. So even if both CRNAs and MDs have equivalent outcomes, that...

  10. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think a better question is what is wrong with physician oversight? If you want to be independent why not just be a

  11. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No I understand that CRNA school is quite difficult, I know several nurses that have gotten in. Just follow my logic. Nurses here acknowledge that the educations of MDs and CRNAs aren’t...

  12. Catheterisation

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Riqta's topic in General Nursing

    You’re really overthinking this. It doesn’t matter. Maintain sterility and get it in the hole.

  13. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Right. My organic chemistry professor would focus on just one particular thing and it made the class very difficult. I wish he would have skimmed over a broader view and allowed us to delve in on our...

  14. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    They’re doing what we pay them to do... they’re giving us framework to learn. I don’t know about you but I got a syllabus, lectures, textbooks, etc. And if I asked to meet to go over tests or...

  15. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Because schools like to make money lol. Go to med school and tell them that, see how far it gets you, lol. If it shocks you at how independent you have to be to pass nursing, check that out. You pay...

  16. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    I don’t think it sounds bratty. But to the poster who said that you’re paying for them to guide you in teaching that’s correct. They lecture you for say 6 hours, and that is the tip of the...

  17. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t have your experience. In my class of 35, 4 of us were male, and we got treated better in general. One of my instructors would say she trusted me and didn’t need to check my meds, and...

  18. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It’s a job that needs to be done. Whether it’s a man doing it or a woman as long as it’s satisfactorily completed who cares what the sex of the person doing it is? Same as race, sexuality, etc....

  19. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I had a manager request I get mine once because the facility had no security, didn’t lock it’s doors, and had no cameras, and we had crack heads coming in off the street, sleeping in empty rooms,...

  20. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    ArmyRntoMD replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That’s gonna be a no from me,

  21. Working hard to purchase trivialities is bad for you

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Man this article is so true. Never got why people do that. I work 4 days a month and make ends meet while I’m doing premed. Many nurses I work with have to have the newest iPhone, Gucci, Prada, UGG...

  22. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t see why it matters how many men are in

  23. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Your instructor isn’t there to teach you every bit of info. That’s your prerogative. Especially if you get to post grad, the vast majority is independent

  24. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    I found it pretty easy. Light on the science. Fundamentals was a challenge in the beginning because I knew NOTHING about nursing or knew any nurses prior. But as soon as I learned the nursing...

  25. Need Advice on Accused Medication Error

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Shannon Dull Dunlevy's topic in General Students

    Your instructor is a moron. What is SAFER? Holding a treatment temporarily for clarification or just doing it without checking? But, the key to passing nursing school is playing the stupid game. I...
