    Males considering nursing?

    PMFB-RN replied to gaits72's topic in Men in Nursing

    In my experience many men tend to gravitate towards and enjoy those areas in nursing where nurses are allowed more autonomy. That being ICU, ER and transport nursing. My suggestion is that you...

    Go into nursing for the money?

    PMFB-RN replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care at all about a person's motivation are for being a nurse. I only care about how they do the job. That said if I discover someone went into it for the money I will lose some respect for...

    It is (I believe) in American's nature to slaughter each other on a regular basis. Well that's not right since we also slaughter people around the world pretty regularly, as evidenced most recently by...

    PMFB-RN replied to bobo619's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes thanks. I did understand what you were saying. The answer is the same. The contracts exist as a result of the glut of nurses available. Is the observation of many of us that since 2008 nurse's...
