Any students out there dating veteran RNs?
misterniftypants, Bro, i understand your situation. I, too, am dating this girl although she's not yet a nurse. She's ahead of me by a year. She just graduated this year and I'm an incoming 4th year this coming school year. Sometimes when we have discussions about school stuff, I listen to her because I know she has more knowledge about things I still don't understand. That situation doesn't lower my status in our relationship rather it's a satisfying experience for me. We have first times in everything so see yours as positively as you can. You're lucky you have someone to ask anytime unlike instructors.

Er nurses making fun of patients
That was a sad story. I don't know why that the hospital is still in operation right now. Even if you had the worst luck of all, I'm sure that one day, that hospital will admit a patient who is brave enough to sue them if something goes wrong. I hope that after all the trouble you went through with the kind of service they rendered, it will be your wisest decision not to go there if, God forbid, something goes wrong again.

Are You Man Enough to Be a Nurse?
Yes! I am man enough too! I also decided to take up nursing and I will finish it one way or another. Those guys in the poster are only half of what you see. The strong faces, big muscles and uncertain looks are only their "half side" when they are off duty. Male nurses are people too, you know, and I will be one of them soon. Females often say, " Women can do what men can do." Well, male nurses can also do what female nurses can do too. Sometimes, a bit more. Guys should think again that nursing is also a profession for males. The poster says so. It doesn't make you a lesser man if you are a nurse. By the way, we were awarded our badges lately. I'm officially a nursing student now (not the AHSE-type student) and will be on my 3rd year this coming school year! Two years more and it will be graduation time! Hooray for male nurses!

Verbal abuse (I'm not a nurse...yet!)
It's normal nowadays for nurses to be verbally abused but it's how you deal with it that matters. For me, I always look on the brighter side of things. It's a part of the package because we are always dealing with different types of people and different types of problems.

Somebody wants me!!!
Congratulations to you bro! Sometimes that happens to me whenever I don't have anything to do except thinking. I ask myself "What the heck I am doing? Should I continue this course or just find a suitable job for me and make my future now?". Then I always see situations like yours and it always uplifts my spirit. I have hundreds of questions about why I am doing this but I only have one answer in the end...continue to become a nurse! Thanks bro for sharing such a wonderful story!:w00t:

The look!!!
I'm not getting any "looks" here coz here in the Philippines, it's "normal" being a guy nurse. Almost everyone here are studying nursing be it guy or gal. Anyways, a guy nurse can do what a gurl nurse can.:cheers:

Things to do while awaiting NCLEX (or any other) test results
Those things are very nice to do. I hope that someday, when I will be having my exams and have to wait for the results, I will remember to take some time for my self and relax a bit.
