  1. Chaperone or not during exam

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

    Male Nurse, I assume that as a nurse yourself you are comfortable with speaking to other nurses in the medical environment. Couldn't you have advocated for yourself and reminded them that this is not...

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

    58flyer posted a topic in General Nursing

    Since the "man in my room" thread got closed, I thought I would try a different track. I want to focus on something a little different. We know the emotional responses we got to the idea of men...

  3. The 10 REAL Reasons Men Don't Go to the Doctor

    58flyer replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Men in Nursing

    Batman, some of the experiences I mentioned in my post occurred at an early age. By early, I mean adolescence or early adulthood, before one develops the social and communication skills that maturity...

  4. The 10 REAL Reasons Men Don't Go to the Doctor

    58flyer replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is a sore subject for me. The REAL reason men don't go to the doctor is due to the great double standard in patient modesty. The simple fact of the matter is that many men have encountered a...

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

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

    I have messaged some of you here with my latest news but after looking back over this thread I think there may be others who may want to know. My wife and I have been trying to adopt for over a year...

  6. Interesting facts and observations.

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

    I see you have been busy this AM with the posting :typing. Good morning to you sunshine . I know the difference between a hospital and a 5 star motel. But since you brought it up, I bet that hospital...

  7. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    58flyer replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    I hope this doesn't freak you out. In my career in a large city police department I was an evidence technician for 6 years of the 24 years I worked there. Among my duties were photographing injuries...

  8. Interesting facts and observations.

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

    I guess it would be decision time. It would depend on how bad I needed the treatment, how long could it wait, is there a follow on shift with males available, and so on. The only times I have needed...

  9. EKG on female patients

    58flyer replied to bill4745's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thank You for your service. Sorry to hear they treat our veterans that way. What are your thoughts on the MEPS

  10. Asian Student in the South

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

    Even funnier when you recall that the 3 writers of the song weren't even from Alabama, 2 were from Florida and one was from

  11. EKG on female patients

    58flyer replied to bill4745's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with you here. I get really annoyed when some HCPs just decide to train on you without asking. I once asked a trainee to leave the room on an EKG. I complicated the matter by telling the...

  12. Rushville, IN Helicopter Crash

    58flyer replied to sjt9721's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    That might just be the case. This is a very safe helicopter design and one that I have many hours in. Failure of the component mentioned in this case is exceptionally rare....

  13. Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

    58flyer replied to FroggyMama's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. Since this thread came along I have looked at my Katrina album and it has refreshed my memory of my time in MS. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been there during...

  14. Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

    58flyer replied to FroggyMama's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have to say I would stay too, but I live in the center of Florida. We don't get storm surge here. Frances and Jeanne came practically over my house. With Frances we were without power for a week...

  15. How to dodge HIPAA?

    58flyer replied to liam36's topic in General Nursing

    Officers can "run" anyone, anytime, without any particular reason. It's getting to the person that is the challenge. Traffic stops, for example, cannot be made for that sole purpose. The officer has...

  16. How to dodge HIPAA?

    58flyer replied to liam36's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how it would violate HIPAA if you notified the officer in your ER about his warrants. You might want to make sure he really does have warrants so your credibility doesn't suffer in case he...

  17. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    58flyer replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    YES! It does happen to other folks! You are not alone. As a police officer I get it all the time. You would think my profession sucks! My SIL was an RN and every time she would see a police officer...

  18. Asian Student in the South

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

    You will be fine. In fact, you may like the South so much you might decide to stay a lifetime. Get out and meet people. You will have fun, especially in a college town. Nobody is going to beat you...

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

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

    I have asked several women who have been in the military about their entrance physicals. All of them, officer and enlisted, said it was a mirror image of a civilian exam. This is the first I've heard...

  20. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    The aircraft was a Lockheed L1011, big wide body heavy jet. 163 souls on board at departure, 134 killed on arrival, plus 1 on the ground. 26 passengers and 3 flight attendants survived. That First...

  21. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    In my case I was fortunate to be well covered. See post #40 of this

  22. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    I only wrote one article about it for an aviation safety publication many years ago. I just tried to google it myself to see if it made it into cyberspace but no luck. As to my post, you quoted it so...

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

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

    I haven't been in the military, but with high school athletics and gym class, I have done my time in the showers/lockers. Even now, we co-train with the military and use military facilities, so it's...

  24. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the info given in the post you quoted is the most info I have given on the accident on this forum. The other mention was just in passing. What details would you
