1) [color=#548dd4]my main concern is the like-li-hood of bringing the stresses from your job into your personal-relationships and home life. do you male nurses honestly see this as a problem and possible issue in your life? the ability to deal wit...
http://www.supportplus.com/ They have knee high socks that look like athletic socks. They come in a variety of compression strengths. For work I use firm for work and moderate for everyplace else. Good luck. http://www.supportplus.com/cgi-bin/hazel....
Hello, I am an RN married to an MD; my wife is faculty at a medical school. I got my RN at 54, after being a house husband for the previous 10 years. I quit my job as a research assistant at a university in Boston to take care of two kids who were 5...
The colon cancer that Ms. B has continues to advance.( see post #108 above) It is difficult to express to her how I feel, but last week at a meditation retreat, the following popped into my head. I have been struggling with what to say to her for we...
I got my RN at 54. I love nursing, but now, just my age (61) makes floor nursing physically unrealistic. So I do clinic nursing and I love that too. PM me for more details, or we can talk.
I am not sure what to call this; maybe someone has a better suggestion. I want a term for moments in nursing for something (beneficial) that male nurses do that female nurses are unlikely or unwilling to do. Example #1: I love this kind of story, t...
Could you be more specific? Do you have any examples you might be able to add? I think we all recognize that there is something there. I am trying to characterize it more clearly.
I went to see an old friend a few days ago and we discussed this topic - How many nurses do we know who have histories of abuse from their families-of-origin. Answer: Many. First I will discuss Ms. B.. Her mother abused her from her childhood, probab...
I was forced to give up floor nursing because of the exhaustion. So I tried clinic nursing and I sit around 90% of the time, doing phone stuff like triage (for 6 months to geezerhood), med refills, calling in lab reports (“Hello, you have chlamydia....

I got my RN at 54 and I am still working at 61. You will learn a lot with the LPN and lower credentials, but the work is more physical. I had to quit doing med/surg because it was exhausting. I loved the work, but at 59, it killed me. The clinic...
Aetrex. really good shoe. I am 220# and need the arch support. I usually change to Keen sandals by the end of the day. Lets my feet air out. A bit costly, but easily worth it. http://www.aetrex.com/index.html x826 in white
I did. It will be 26 years this August. There were and still are problems, but having only been married once, I don't know if the problems are due to her being a MD, or would be there regardless of her profession. My impression of female MDs is that...
Anybody going to the Nursing 2008 Symposium in Las Vegas March 18 - 21, '08? Has anyone been to previous conventions? are they worthwhile? Need a roommate? I was looking at the med/surg programs, and they looked interesting, but maybe there are bett...
Try Shoebuy.com Aetrex X826 is the best I've found. I just finished trying five shoes from Standing Comfort, (one was not bad) and three from Zappo's but these are the most comfortable. I 225 lbs and I need a well made shoe.
I have always worn support (knee high) socks. I started wearing them when I was a machinist standing in front of a mill. I can’t imagine working without them. Pantyhose might give me a yeast infection!!! I get them from http://www.supportplus.com/
Well, I have two glasses of wine, so my better judgment has left for the evening. I detect a fairly consistent lack of respect (for lack of a better phrase) of MDs on this site. I can appreciate some of it, but my wife is one of the most sincere and ...
Usually in developing countries public health issues, like hygiene and vaccinations, are the major issues. I was in Ghana looooooooong ago and worked on a Cholera epidemic during the first part of my service. Later I was teaching at the University o...
