  1. Kidney Stones!!!!!

    58flyer replied to rgroyer1RNBSN's topic in Emergency

    Good luck on the cysto. I've had one done recently with the state of the art equipment. Not bad at all. I had no meds and came through just fine. I insisted his female assistant not be present, and...

  2. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes Indy! That was jarring for me to read! Who was advocating for this patient? Certainly not the nursing staff! The poor patient screaming and crying should have been a powerful clue that something...

  3. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me if he apologized to you for being small and you accepted his apologies then you are agreeing that he was small. Sorta like you saying to someone "sorry about my fat hiney" and they say...

  4. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That approach might work for some guys. For others it won't. As one other poster pointed out, such innocent comments might be construed the wrong way. To counsel a patient in that way might overstep...

  5. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Somewhat? Try spending some time at the nurses station in a level one trauma center. I worked police security as a second job in the ER for several years. I found the sexual overtones very

  6. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have the opposite problem, I tend to get aroused when exposed. Which is why I try to limit my care to men only. Rarely happens then. In my experience, arousal only brings unwanted, unwelcome, and...

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I only hope you did not say that to an actual

  8. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    58flyer replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    Threw the clipboard at you?? That's called battery where I'm from. My agency's policy is to not write tickets for less than 4 over. I usually don't make stops for anywhere from 9 to 13 over,...

  9. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    58flyer replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    The matter of discretion in enforcement action has long been a tradition in law enforcement. In an ideal world, it wouldn't happen, but we don't live in an ideal world. Humans are what they are. It...

  10. In nursing uniform during a traffic copstop!

    58flyer replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    That is definitely NOT the reason I am easy on nurses on traffic stops. I see them as kindred spirits in the caring business. I will not be persuaded to be lenient because of fear that I might have to...

  11. How long did you Lurk before joining allnurses.com?

    58flyer replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem. I found the site in either 1999 or 2000, lurked around for a few months and then just kinda forgot about it. Found it again while doing an online search in 2006. Lurked again...

  12. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    58flyer replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    How true, but much easier for a male nurse to find a female doctor!!

  13. What do you guys during your off-time?

    58flyer replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    OOPS, how did I miss NASCAR? As a former racer myself, (ARCA, NASCAR, and outlaw) I wasn't even thinking about it since we are between the seasons. I'm still involved though, with computer programs...

  14. What do you guys during your off-time?

    58flyer replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    Fly airplanes, restore old airplanes, shoot machine guns, ride my Harley, play with our Greyhound. I'm a huge War Between the States historian, did reenacting for a while but that's for the younger...

  15. Male Nurses/female Patients

    58flyer replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Being a guy I just don't see that as an issue, men just don't evaluate other men's equippage. I can understand why some men prefer female caregivers over male because of homophobia, but fear of being...

  16. Personality question for the guys (and any gals who might have an opinion)

    58flyer replied to phoenixfire's topic in Male Nursing Students

    :roll:rotfl::hehe:

  17. Personality question for the guys (and any gals who might have an opinion)

    58flyer replied to phoenixfire's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There's nothing wrong with a Southern Belle. I've known a number of Southern Belles who could be quite assertive when they needed to be. There is a fine line between being straight forward and to the...

  18. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    58flyer replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you there Dutch, as a patient you are not obligated to be a professional. I have had some issues with MAs; calling themselves nurses for example. But I have had some darned good,...

  19. Discrimination towards male students? Need advice.

    58flyer replied to Dabuggy's topic in Men in Nursing

    My advice, since you have come this far, is to stick with it and graduate. If you quit and you still want to be a nurse, you will have to start all over again at another school, with no guarantee that...

  20. Florida LPN Courses

    58flyer replied to supermodelnurse2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know if Ocala is too far for you to go but it is kinda central Fla. CFCC, Central Fla Community College, in Ocala has a daytime LPN program.

  21. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Lavslady, Thank You for not ever using this technique on your patients. Sad to think though that some of that instructor's students may have used it and might have actually passed it on to other care...

  22. Holter monitor

    58flyer replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    My docs staff told me I could so I did. Just don't get it

  23. Holter monitor

    58flyer replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    You are not supposed to remove it at all. I recall that where it attaches to your body is water resistant but the unit itself is not waterproof. So you can shower but you have to hold the unit up high...

  24. Holter monitor

    58flyer replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but I am law enforcement and I managed to wear one for two days. It's a little cumbersome but you can make do. I wore it during my daily activities which included flying a helicopter....

  25. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Danissa, I was 33 when I got married and we waited about 2 years before attempting to have kids. By then I was 35. Since the incident happened when I was 16, that's a lot of time for antibodies to...
