  1. Conflicted over starting INH

    antihippie replied to Cowboys_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was in the same boat about a year ago and went ahead and took the INH. I had no problems with it at all other than the doc not telling me that it acted as an alcohol enhancher (hammered on two...

  2. Horrid clinical uniforms

    antihippie replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I must be just born lucky, our uniforms aren't bad at all. We wear royal bkue scrubs with a white t-shirt underneath (or long sleeves for me because of tatoos) and I have been wearing low top Chuck...

  3. Tattoos?

    antihippie replied to kamon8404's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've got large tats on both forearms from the Navy and just wear long sleeves under my scrubs. My hospital doesn't have a policy but I think it makes some of my older patients uncomfortable seeing...

  4. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    antihippie replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Never had a problem on my OB rotation, I got to see 7 vag deliveries and a C-section and as far as I know was never turned down by anyone. OB was a fun rotation but I wouldn't want to do it for a...

  5. Almost done but feeling so unready with my clinical skills,anyone else???

    antihippie replied to lab211's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I felt pretty much the same way until a few weeks ago. I'm in a 2 year program and even though I work as a tech I felt that I was shaky on Med admin and assessment until This clinical rotation...

  6. Difficulty with a CNA

    antihippie replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    As a tech I can totally commiserate with the original poster, lazy CNAs drive those of us who do work hard just as nuts as they do the nurses. It not only makes the rest of us look like crap but it...

  7. Heart Attack Grill (20/20 ABC show)

    antihippie replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am slightly confused here, so please help me out. I have spent my entire life being told that women are just as tough and capable as men if not even more able due to women "having a higher tolerance...

  8. "Med-Surg first"..need advice from a student RN

    antihippie replied to StakRN's topic in Operating Room

    The OP is in the same position I am in, except I graduate in May instead of December, so this is a topic I've thought about alot. One thing that made me finally say forget Med/Surg for a year before...

  9. med administration question

    antihippie posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is a nurse on my unit that administers pain meds in a fashion that to me seems wrong. For instance the other day the order was for Ativan and Dilaudid q4 starting at 1400. instead of giving them...

  10. Somebody wants me!!!

    antihippie posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am 3 weeks away from finishing my first Med/Surg rotation and was getting discouraged. I have never worked health care before and I know that just because I will be an ADN graduate in a year I won't...

  11. OB rotation is awesome

    antihippie posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    So far I've only been in class for two weeks and it has been the best two weeks of nursing school by far. I got to assist in a circumcision, give postpartum care to a severly mentally handicapped...

  12. OB rotation is awesome

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My rotation was great, I saw 5 NSVDs, 1 C-section and a tubal ligation. I was also lucky enough that every birth I attended was on a Wednesday so I was able to do the post-partum care on Thursday for...

  13. male nurses in OB

    antihippie replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it acceptable to refuse to allow a nurse to perform his job because of his sex but unacceptable to refuse for any other reason? Why would it be any less acceptable to refuse care from blacks,...

  14. male nurses in OB

    antihippie replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought, but I was wounded by a middle-eastern Muslim in Iraq. Does this mean that due to my "emotional reaction" to the event I can refuse to be cared for by a Muslim nurse, how about...

  15. It Annoys ME HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN SAY "THEY ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY"

    antihippie replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in General Nursing

    I for one chose nursing as a way to help others and be well compensated at the same time. If someone truly believes that money should have nothing to do with becoming a nurse, more power to them. They...

  16. I did good

    antihippie posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I realize that this is just blatant self congratylation but I had to share with someone who might care. I'm in my OB rotation and yesterday I had a newborn by c-section involving meconium. During my...

  17. Is it just me?

    antihippie posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursing classes seem to be run much differently than any other classes I've ever experienced. I realize it is a mainly female field and most students are rather young but the touchy feely way classes...

  18. I did good

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to say that I am willing to give the instructor a little slack as she went in twice to check the baby and both times mom was trying to breastfeed, (she was not real sure of herself and we...

  19. OB rotation is awesome

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Got to attend my first NSVD yesterday and it was one of the coolest things ever. When my wife gave birth I was much to concerned with her to pay much attention to what the doc was doing, but this time...

  20. Nursing School Bloopers

    antihippie replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    During our ECF rotation my clinical buddy and I were assigned to do neuro checks on a woman who had fallen. I gave my friend the thermometer to check temps and and turned my back for a minute to get a...

  21. What other shcools are represented?

    Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek here. Currently in my second semester of the ADN

  22. Is it just me?

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Directly from the manual when I made BM2- when giving orders"explain why, share information, communicate the intent of actions". Seems pretty self-explanitory that using coercion to get a job done is...

  23. Is it just me?

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Then your MCPO sucked, It was his job to mentor his junior personnel. As a BM the best way for us to learn was OJT from senior personnel, they would explain an evolution as it occured so we would know...

  24. OB rotation is awesome

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    After watching my wife give birth I definetly knew she had a special kind of strength. My only concern/embarassment is that I know I am going to cry like a little girl every time I see a delivery. I...

  25. Is it just me?

    antihippie replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A few examples from the last week that come to mind- While watching a circumcision one of my fellow students passed out, that's fine I understand that some are not used to blood of any sort. What to...
