This is very discriminatory. How are we as men supposed to be prepared to do our jobs if we are not trained how to do them? I would wonder what the proper way to handle this would be. I think I would find the head of the nursing department at my s...

Or pay for the law suits when word gets out. Recruiters in just about every business are given a range. They try to get people in low, but raise up when they need to to get workers in the specialty they need. How many new grads would get no tuiti...

I think this is the key to the respect thing. Men are more likely to not accept being verbally abused. They speak up. The women that speak up are treated with the same respect, it's just that less speak up. Not just speaking up, but in a respectf...

I'm male and know how to braid hair. Most of my friends growing up were female, My ex-wife and kids wanted me to braid their hair, and I learned to do it well. I think the point was he didn't bother to learn. If he had time and the conviction he c...

I would believe it is possible for men to move up in many areas to management positions in nursing faster. Don't have stats to support that though. There are numerous treads that show men are normally treated with more respect IN GENERAL by doctors...

VCU is working on starting a DNAP program pretty soon. It will be an optional program of 3 yrs instead of 28 mths for MSN.

I guess I'm lucky I started out being a massage therapist because my wife and me got this out of the way quick. As a nurse, I actually have less physical contact, though it may be more "intimate" if you want to look at it that way. My wife learned t...

It is very scary. If you ever check the sex offender registry and see how many sex offenders live near you, your kids school, ect. it will make you want to stay home with a gun. The XXXXX that raped my daughter gets out in a few months. You can be...

It doesn't even have to be a year. As soon as you have 1875, you can sit for the test. This normally takes close to a year, but if you work a lot of overtime, it could be far less.

I know this was hard for you to follow through with, but very important. I am very glad things are coming to a close for you. The biggest thing now is to report IMMEDIATELY if he tries to contact you. It can be hard to stay vigilant, but it will k...

i think you missed a few points on the tos. let me pull them out for you. no, not just for you, but these parts seem to get violated a lot in this forums. if these are followed this whole area of the boards will be much more pleasant to use. "reme...

Fine, Whatever. Does anyone have info on CRNA curriculum and having sections on business of being a CRNA.

I've thought about this as well. I know that VCU recommends getting Organic Chem. Looking at that I need one Gen Chem and one Bio Chem for my BSN. My University offers 2 Organic Chem classes. If I took all of that all I would need is 2 more class...

I don't see it as shifting goalposts at all. The OP mentioned med school classes, but that was on the side lines. His post was asking about business training in CRNA school. Don't feel you need to justify something you said in a previous post. I ...

It takes a good person to admit they overreacted. Thank you. Please try to ease into the group. It also has a lot of great people. Many have been put though a lot of disrespect for their chosen specialty though. This forum has tons of information...

I better one would be that sales people and fast food joints have clients and customers... I am caring for a patient. It needs to be obvious that we are in a medical situation, and the word patient makes that clear.

Not sure if this one has a calc, but has the info on it. Order by phone, fax , or mail. http://www.apsf.org/resource_center/newsletter/1995/winter/#art6 It's in the article about halfway down. APSF Clipboard Proves Hot Seller This one is for nurses, ...

Not necessarily true. It is true for most people, but not all. I have worked several management jobs (not nursing yet) but was friends with my employees. They knew, however, that if they did wrong, I was going to act as a manager. If they needed ...

Or if your trying to figure out where the foot pedals are for your sink at home

You really need to do some research before posting such a bold statement There is a rather large shortage of ALL anesthetists right now. Some hospitals have had to shut down some ORs and cancel some elective surgeries. To cap the number of CRNAs or M...

This is the only thing that concerns me. Maybe I'm just not understanding the way you said it. Do you WANT to be a nurse? Sometimes it can be a very hard career, and those that don't WANT to be a nurse have a very hard time with it. It you really...

One thing that is nice about nursing is that there are so many options once you get there. There are lots of positions that you aren't likely to see this kind of trauma, and even some you don't even see patients. If your heart is in L&D then fo...

Both Alcohol and hot peppers (or actually the capsicum in them) are vasodilators, especially if your not used to them. That could be all that is causing the redness. An allergy to them involves a bit more.

Not totally. It has much to do with why you are rich and famous. It it's from sports, or acting, singing... you get away with lots. If it's because you are the owner/CEO of a big multi-million/billion dollar cooperation then people are looking to str...

I have a friend that is allergic to latex and vinyl. Imagine that trouble trying to find gloves she is not allergic too.
