  1. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Thanks! You've all been very supportive... almost nurse-like :). I still don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I just have to keep at it I guess. The deep breath thing is a good idea. I think I...

  2. Q+A piece: Men in Nursing and why there are no grants for men pursuing nursing school

    Jasano replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    There is a terrible bias in terms of nursing against men. That is to say, while male dominated professions must endure quotas and set asides for their associated programs of study, and while...

  3. Graduate nurse never inserted foley :/

    Jasano replied to NikiChiki's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, but it's still practical and medically based knowledge rather than the "caring paradigm" and "reflective praxis" and other such gobbly gook, that won't help nurses interpret lab values, assist...

  4. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Well, hmm... It's not really up to me how long I spend in day surgery pre-op, but the institution itself. I asked for the extra 4 hours - I guess 4 hours is all they give most. And sadly, no, IV...

  5. Graduate nurse never inserted foley :/

    Jasano replied to NikiChiki's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh, I almost forgot to mention foreskin - that's maybe because I myself am circumscribed. OKay, so with men, who have foreskin I recommend that you not pull back and retract the foreskin. What!? You...

  6. Graduate nurse never inserted foley :/

    Jasano replied to NikiChiki's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, as a nurse, I guess I could try helping rather than just complaining, but just once more, NURSING NEEDS TO BECOME MORE MEDICAL AND SKILLS FOCUSED! Oh that feels better. Nurses kept saying that...

  7. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Thanks for the vote of confidence! Some people have been telling me it's something you either get or you don't. I've been hoping that's not the case - that it's not some innate skill like being double...

  8. Groped on the job...

    Jasano replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well your story certainly highlights the double standard that exists in our society in general. I've been patted on the behind more than once by female coworkers and have had various...

  9. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    Jasano replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well yes there is quite a bit of discrimination against males in the nursing profession. Firstly, you're immediately stuck with a gay label upon entry, unless of course you're married, although with...

  10. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    No, no no. I only GOT 1 IV. I tried many more It's horrible. They really should have kept teaching this stuff in nursing school; at least then we'd come out a little better

  11. Graduate nurse never inserted foley :/

    Jasano replied to NikiChiki's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's very common, but It really shouldn't be. Where do you live? It sounds like the US, since I haven't heard the classification GPN. Well the same mambly pambly, throw medicine through the window and...

  12. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    LOL. Well, I know all the steps and I perform them extremely well up to the very moment of insertion. I have my dressing ready, my tape, I've got tubing ready and primed, i've even got gauze pads to...

  13. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Thank you cartoon girl! :) Well, I did go for 4 hours of day surgery one day, and got one iv start the entire 4 hours. That's pretty bad. Of course I was so excited that I actually got one, that I let...

  14. Graduate nurse never inserted foley :/

    Jasano replied to NikiChiki's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think its sad that today's nursing schools frown to broadly upon skills and medical knowledge in general. I for one was very dissappointed in the training that I received in university and agree...

  15. Is it OK for male Dr. to ask female patient to undress in front of him?

    Jasano replied to echinacea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is absolutely Okay for the male Dr. to ask the female patient to undress. You know, as a male nurse, it is in no means any great joy to view the female anatomy any more than it is to view...
