  1. Male Urologic Dilemma

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

    Thanks for the suggestion Arwen. Yes, I have had counseling for this and it helped a lot, probably the best thing I ever did for myself. Given the magnitude of the trauma and the complexities of the...

  2. Male Urologic Dilemma

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

    Thanks to all who suggested the idea of having the procedure done in a hospital. I didn't think of that and I will bring that up with my doc when I see him next week. You have given me hope!

  3. Blatant Discrimination

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

    Just having the job now may not be the end of discriminatory treatment. It still happens in many places. Maybe you could get a memo to the person in charge of HR informing him/her of your experiences....

  4. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    58flyer replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately, in my state, this is true except the last sentence. Under the medical assistant statute, it states that they work under the supervision of the physician. But to enforce this you have to...

  5. Nurse or Cop?

    58flyer replied to knigry01's topic in Nursing Career

    It really doesn't matter where it is parked, it costs the same whether it's parked at home or at the municipal airport. There are times though that having it parked closest to where I am enhances...

  6. Nurse or Cop?

    58flyer replied to knigry01's topic in Nursing Career

    For the same reason you are Stevo. I come here to learn, interact, converse, and when I can, contribute. I have had an interest in nursing for a long time. The time will come when I can pursue that...

  7. Nurse or Cop?

    58flyer replied to knigry01's topic in Nursing Career

    I always thought I would do nursing as a second career after I retired from LE. But when the time to retire came, an opportunity to go with another agency presented itself. So now I am in my second LE...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    58flyer replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny you brought this up. This is exactly what I thought when I read this and other circ threads. I didn't start showering with other guys until Jr High and we got into athletics. Before that...

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

    58flyer replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The same can be said of a privy parts ....but that might be :offtopic:

  10. funny things Phleb's hear when with a p.t

    58flyer replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's really funny . Does he know what kind of car you drive? It would be hilarious if he surprised you with a traffic stop and returned the "favor." I can hear him now..."Now sign right there by the...

  11. Male nursing students can do assessments on the women?

    58flyer replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have made some very valid points here. You don't actually say it, but am I correct in assuming that by the term chaperone you mean an assistant of the same sex as the patient? We all know...

  12. sexual harrassment

    58flyer replied to ChristinaV's topic in General Nursing

    The behavior you describe definitely constitutes sexual harrassment as well as battery. In most states, if not all, simply touching another person against their will is battery, even if there is no...

  13. Have you ever done CPR off duty?

    58flyer replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome post Shamira!! Loved every word of it. You really earned that first class seat the hard way.

  14. Posters that are not nurses

    58flyer replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I am one of those posters who is not a nurse (yet). When I first signed on to this forum, I did so thinking that I would probably never actually post. I wanted to learn and maybe ask a...

  15. Interesting facts and observations.

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

    My vote goes to the patient. The patient is in control of his/her own body and the medical care of that body. Something that they are not comfortable with should not be forced upon them. Therefore I...

  16. Why are male nurses looked down on?

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

    Given my zero tolerance for attitudes, it generally was. Part of the problem (I speculate) is that females are not taught that there are males who might make such a request, and they are caught off...

  17. Best Florida city?

    58flyer replied to lmolvr's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Kelly, welcome to allnurses! Merry Christmas to ya! I see you visited in October which means you may not have experienced the normal Florida temperatures. Plain and simple, it gets HOT. Be...

  18. Why are male nurses looked down on?

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

    Life would be so much easier if that were true. The times where I requested someone of the same sex do the intimate stuff or at least have a male chaperone present I was laughed at, ridiculed, or...

  19. Best Florida city?

    58flyer replied to lmolvr's topic in Florida Nursing

    Southernurse, I have my grouper snoopers out canvassing Sevier County for that sandwich. Will get back with a progress report. Hope your arthroscopic surgery goes well. I can relate to knee...

  20. Testicular torsion

    58flyer replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes we did. A few years ago, there were some legal issues in Fla regarding adoption laws. An atty advised us to wait until the issues were resolved. I think that resolution has occurred but we never...

  21. Best Florida city?

    58flyer replied to lmolvr's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Nancy! That's a sweet name. I have some friends in North Port. I almost built a house in Englewood. There was a lot for sale on the Buchan Airport and I was all fired up to build there and have my...

  22. Testicular torsion

    58flyer replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Holy Cow! A co-pay and office charge because the NP gave you a list of charges? Isn't that like being charged to read the menu at a restaurant? If anything, you should have backed out the co-pay from...

  23. Testicular torsion

    58flyer replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, you are starting to jar my memory cells into action. I don't remember the term ICSI, but I do recall them saying icksie. That Doc always seemed to be in a hurry, no time to explain anything....

  24. Moving on up to Jacksonville

    58flyer replied to silverangle's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have a relative and several friends who work at Baptist and say it's great. It's located downtown on the southside of the river. Shands is the teaching hosp and level 1 trauma hosp if you like that...

  25. Testicular torsion

    58flyer replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If they did they didn't tell me all the facts. One of the IVF attempts was at UF Shands, supposedly with the latest IVF technology available at the time. This was around
