  1. Male Nurse will work for food

    Jasano posted a topic in Retired Nurses

    This is an ad I ran in Kijijii. I have been an unemployed nurse here in the province of Ontario now for going on 6 months. Prior to that I was employed at two seperate part-time, temporary jobs. I...

  2. Male Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    But not at all for the reasons implied. Men make more only when these other factors are taken into consideration. These articles are misleading in a number of ways. 1. They point to nursing as a high...

  3. Male Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    Here are a couple of articles from US sources telling men what lucrative profession nursing is and that male nurses will make more money than their female counterparts - ya right, discrimination...

  4. Male Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well, I'm not a new grad, I have over a decade of experience working the nursing field, but I have to say, I would not recommend men getting into this field - not at all. What irks me about all this...

  5. When do you give up?

    Jasano replied to bravera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would tell anyone thinking of getting into nursing, to pursue something else. I've been a nurse for over a decade and after 9 months of searching, all I was able to come up with was a part-time...

  6. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    I likely won't get any response, but you're right, at this point, I've exhausted all other options - maybe I should try

  7. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

    Jasano posted a topic in Retired Nurses

    I'm thinking of running this as an ad in my local newspaper as I've been out of work for 2 months with only one phone call in all of that time. I have approximately 10-15 years of experience in...

  8. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    I have applied to every area of nursing, from homecare, to retirement homes, to nursing homes, to telehealth, to mental health, to hospitals - acute and chronic. I have been extremely flexible - it is...

  9. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired Nurses

    Just as an update: Well, it is now February, 2013 and I have been unable to find work in my profession. I am now working outside of nursing, in a pharmacy related job, for casual-part-time hours. I...

  10. Changing Careers to Nursing as 35 year old man

    Jasano replied to DB7721's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a male nurse who's actively been seeking employment for several months in my home province of Ontario, Canada. It's been extremely difficult and discouraging. I would not recommend the nursing...

  11. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I find that IV starts are the most frustrating thing that I've ever had to do in nursing, perhaps the most frustrating thing I've ever had to do in my life. I could be, and very likely am, the worst...

  12. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, I disagree with you completely. There is no justification for discrimination against men or against women. You seem to be quite willing to overlook some rather blatant discrimination against...

  13. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    These are actually falsehoods that you're spouting. Dollar for dollar, women and men make the SAME amount of money. Hour for Hour women CHOOSE to work more part-time and therefore lose out on some of...

  14. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    IMHO you're one hundred percent right - we have become a gender fixated society, and we owe much of our plight, from broken families, to broken marriages, and yes even gender-fixation in areas like...

  15. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ha! An excellent post! I too suffered discrimination while undergoing my nursing training and can empathize with you - I rarely suffer such discrimination from members of the public or from my female...

  16. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is NOT a problem with male nurses most likely, but rather a problem with public perception of males in nursing. I doubt very much that it is the case that your male colleagues are 'trying' to...

  17. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I agree with the posters who say: practice, practice, practice, BUT, that is not to say that the classroom has nothing to offer. Putting in IV's is a complicated process, where plenty can go wrong. It...

  18. Womens interest in male nurses

    Jasano replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    What you say is incredibly true. It is so true that it is the absolute, unadulterated truth. Now women may say that they want the kind, sensitive type, but what I see them dating are men with tatoos...

  19. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You're absolutely right of course and I'm getting better at starting IVs now. HOWEVER, (and notice that 'however' is capitalized), I feel the CNO and other nursing bodies, which do not INSIST on the...

  20. IV therapy Programs for nurses are Dissappearing

    Jasano posted a topic in International Nursing

    I've been having a great deal of difficulty with IV starts, but to make matters worse, every college and university, across Ontario, seems to be shutting down its IV therapy programs! If this keeps...

  21. I need HELP!! with IV starts

    Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Wow, you really are sick :) Are you single perchance? LOL. Anyway, I will maybe give that red meat idea a try, although explaining what I need to the butcher may cause some hard looks. I sometimes...

  22. Nursing school not teaching IVs

    Jasano replied to 19Monica79's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Hmm... well I'm desperate enough to go stateside if necessary - maybe turn it into a mini holiday. Could you tell me when the courses run, how long they are, and whether or not you get any hands on...

  23. Changing provinces ?????

    Jasano replied to LPN_666's topic in International Nursing

    I transferred my LPN to RPN from Alberta to Ontario years ago. Basically what they wanted was a record of hours worked in the capacity of LPN (RPN in your case) in your home province. They may need to...

  24. Nursing school not teaching IVs

    Jasano replied to 19Monica79's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    It's the same thing here in Ontario (Canada) and I would expect increasingly so around the world. Nursing is turning away from skill focused abilities and medical knowledge as a whole. It is extremely...

  25. Nursing..THE GOOD & BAD as Male

    Jasano replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Men in Nursing

    ok i will get a talking to about this but, if your single, there are so many horny girls you will be working with. a good thing i think.:) will not say anymore about this but could say a whole lot...
