  1. Red/Black/Grey Maternity Scrub Top

    corbinRN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Help! My wife is pregnant and the hospital we work at is going to a dress code of only black, red, and grey. We can't find any combo with red in it. Her nursing shoes are brown, so she won't wear...

  2. Adult Med/Surg to PICU

    corbinRN posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I am an adult medical stepdown nurse looking to go to the PICU. I have experience with vents on adults on my current unit and some drips. I have experience as a CNA in PICU but no RN experience in a...

    corbinRN replied to corbinRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thanks shaykdo! I have always wanted to go back to the kids and I like the fast pace of critical care. PICU is my passion and i know i will be so happy there. My wife is hesitant about it because we...

  4. What should I wear to a nursing conference?

    corbinRN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I am attending the 2011 ANCC Magnet Nursing Conference in Baltimore, MD in October. I am a "nurse-who-happens-to-be-male" and would like to know your opinions on what I should wear. Should I wear a...

  5. Funny things patients say !

    corbinRN replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    While starting an IV on a little old confused lady, she started screaming down the hall, "Lord Jesus help me...RAPE! RAPE!" I couldn't help but laugh...then I told the other (female) nurse to...

    corbinRN replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    Honey, just Google

  7. Work policy

    corbinRN replied to lojadi's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...I wouldn't be working there...that would make me feel like I'm going to go take the NCLEX

  8. Work policy

    corbinRN replied to lojadi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but did you say even on breaks and lunch? They should have any say on what you do during your (non-paid) lunch/breaks, unless you're smoking in the hospital, using hospital resources,...

  9. What have you found in your pockets at the end of your shift?

    corbinRN replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    If I went home with Ativan, that would mean off to Occ. Health for blood test at my hosp. We once had a missing narc and they made the whole floor get

  10. FLA to NC-New Grad

    corbinRN replied to Honeybee737's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi! I work at WakeMed and we are hiring ADNs. With WakeMed, though, the hard part can be getting an interview. If you know someone who works there, you might have a better opportunity to get an...

  11. What have you found in your pockets at the end of your shift?

    corbinRN replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    My wife always gets mad at me when she does laundry

  12. New Orientee Ticking Me Off

    corbinRN replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    No problem letting out your steam... This is ridiculous and uncalled for behavior. He should have come to you since you're training him rather than going to the next level (which isn't even his...

  13. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    corbinRN replied to VeraciousRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry, I couldn't read a post that long...but from the first couple paragraphs, I'm getting the impression that experienced nurses don't like helping new nurses. If you ask for help and they refuse to...

  14. Do you need a license to practice as a RN or can you just how proof of passing NCLEX?

    corbinRN replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    In NC, passing NCLEX means you're registered/licensed. Look yourself up on the board of nursing for your

  15. What have you found in your pockets at the end of your shift?

    corbinRN replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how in the world you guys end up with hearing aides and used thermometer sheaths in your pockets. LOL! I usually just find tons of alcohol prep pads, a pen (and sometimes a coworker's...

  16. Guys, do you wear your wedding band to work?

    corbinRN replied to JaredCNA's topic in Men in Nursing

    Of course we wear our wedding bands. When I wash my hands, I slide it up my finger to ensure soap gets under the ring and my ring gets washed with antimicrobial soap just like my hands do. I've never...

  17. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

    corbinRN replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men in Nursing

    I really like Cherokee. Specifically the bottoms with the drawstring AND the elastic around the waistband. They are very comfortable and functional, with the side pockets and

  18. Nurses pay compare to Female

    corbinRN replied to Chris NS's topic in Men in Nursing

    No. The only reason for the statistical difference is because, generally, there are higher percentages of male nurses in areas where the salaries are generally higher (ICU, CRNA, etc.) At the hospital...

  19. Does being called a male nurse annoy you?

    corbinRN replied to freefalle's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes! And it gets on my nerves when people are like "you see more and more male nurses every day...some of my favorite nurses were males" as if they're trying to make you feel better about your...

  20. Question for the fellas....

    corbinRN replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    Your gender, in my experience, does not give you any benefit over female nurses in securing employment. My wife is also an RN and we both had equal problems finding a job. Truly, the ONLY thing that...

  21. The Great Double Standard?

    corbinRN replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's just like any other issue: race, sex, disabilities, age... Now that everyone is "treated equal" (which I am glad it is), it seems they overcompensate for the past. Women are now doing jobs that...

  22. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    corbinRN replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am a male nurse and I never get someone to come in the room with me during patient care unless there is a reason that I need help. In my opinion, if they make men take females in pt rooms with them,...

  23. Nurse with Body Odor

    corbinRN replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    You can always place an anonymous note in her

  24. Dying Patient and Spirits

    corbinRN replied to NewMexicoJohn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I work in a PICU and there was a little boy with cancer in there who was dying. I think that most chronically ill kids wait until their parents are not there to die because they feel that it would be...

  25. Heart Sounds and Stethoscope

    corbinRN replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    Like someone said earlier, just bend (or actually twist) the metal rods that have the ear tips on them so that when you put them in your ears they are pointing slightly toward your eyes. This will...
