  1. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

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

    Ken, that's precisely why I suggested getting your congressperson involved. They love to help their constituency (at least mine does). In a race case with my former employer, the EEOC coordinator was...

  2. spooky spooky spooky

    58flyer replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    i have long thought that there was a message there beyond the obvious. i watched tv a lot as the 5 year anniv of 9/11 approached thinking i would see a picture of the man i saw in my dream. i'm not...

  3. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    Hmmmmmmmmmm. That has a veiled threat ring to it. If a man so stated that that was the reason for his refusal of your services, what would you do, what could you do, without placing your license on...

  4. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

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

    Follow... Nice word play, have you considered law school?

  5. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

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

    Your now mine... I didn't say anything about sueing every potential employer. Read what the OP said about the direct decision not to hire males. I am sure he worked just as hard for his license as...

  6. "Male Problems" while nursing female

    58flyer replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well said Leslie. I appreciate your input and your ability to articulate what has to be a highly emotional issue for you. Please don't think I was disagreeing with you, I was just trying to understand...

  7. "Male Problems" while nursing female

    58flyer replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Leslie, It's good to know that you understand the difference between physiologic arousal and sexual arousal. That said, why would all this, as you said, exacerbate your perpetual fears? If a male...

  8. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

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

    Get a lawyer. You could write a nice letter asking why you were turned down, what you could do in the future to enhance your candidacy for the position, and see what they have to say. They might not...

  9. "Male Problems" while nursing female

    58flyer replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    To the OP, good luck, hope you find a

  10. Where were u 9/11/01?

    58flyer replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    Marc, Thanks for posting that, it was great to read your thoughts about that tragic day. I arrived on scene about a week later. While there I had a chance to talk to many cops and firefighters who...

  11. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    Yes, I know what to call it...unprofessional. I agree that nurses should be, and for the most part are, professionals. And I am all for respecting the patient's preferences. But when the double...

  12. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    I am happy for you that they listened to you, something they don't often do for men, at least in my

  13. Where were u 9/11/01?

    58flyer replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was driving to work that day and heard the news over the radio. A week later I was part of a team sent to assist with rescue efforts. Did 14 hours shifts in Ground Zero. I don't think I will ever...

  14. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    I was just trying to understand your feelings when you treat an opposite sex patient. What are you thinking when you are performing intimate care on a male knowing that if the role were reversed you...

  15. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    Leslie, do you perform intimate care on male patients? If so, aren't you concerned that you may be doing them some harm? Since you stated that you don't accept intimate care from men, it is apparent...

  16. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    58flyer replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is a wonderful idea. However you must also initiate a program to attract quality applicants at the same time. It would be interesting to know if any medical schools actually established a ratio...

  17. Chaperone or not during exam

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

    CEG, thanks for posting that. A good example of how to NOT treat a patient. I cannot understand how anyone would want to subject a fellow human being to degrading and disrespectful treatment. I'm sure...

  18. Chaperone or not during exam

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

    Sorry to read that you had a bad experience. You are not alone. Would you like to share it with us? That's how we learn. Of course if you don't want to, I respect

  19. Chaperone or not during exam

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

    My opinion...as a male, I would definitely want a male chaperone if the caregiver is female and is performing an intimate exam/procedure. However, having had some bad experiences with female medical...

  20. Nurse and Police Officer

    58flyer replied to iluvnursing625's topic in Travel

    With most police agencies it takes up to a year to get hired sometimes and then another year to get through training/probation. If the officer already has a state police certification in the state he...

  21. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    If you don't mean to be insulting, then why be so insulting? And to think this is your first post! The generalizations you have made here are so far from reality I won't even attempt to address

  22. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    Men can also be rape/molestation victims as well. Sometimes the perpetrators are female. Hopefully you can understand why these men would be uncomfortable with intimate care by female medical...

  23. Male Nurses/female Patients

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

    You got that right Jay! I have noticed that too on this site, unfortunately. Over the years I have heard LOTS of female nurses make inappropriate comments about their male patients. I have also known...

  24. Career Change

    58flyer replied to jumppilot's topic in Nursing Career

    You nailed it! I've had a few folks here ask what I meant by 58. I flew the OH-58 till recently when my boss stole it and stuck me with a fixed wing (182). At least I can take it to the house and I am...

  25. Career Change

    58flyer replied to jumppilot's topic in Nursing Career

    jumppilot, Good luck on the career change! As a fellow aviator I know you will miss the flying, but I have known a lot of airline pilots and have seen what they go through. Strikes, layoffs, and pay...
