   algebra_demystified replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Men in Nursing

   That's a weird thing to deal with. Gender insecurity is RAMPANT in nursing. That sucks. I don't know what to say, just thought maybe it would help to know that somebody else feels the same way from...

   algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I worked some of the time while I was in school. During the EBP class, there was no way I could have gotten as much out of the class as I put in during that time while still working. It was a...

8. Awkward moment?

   algebra_demystified replied to Soran's topic in Male Nursing Students

   If it was me, I would ask the patient for their preference. Do you want me to do it, do you want me to get a female to do it, do you want a female observing me during the procedure, what would make...

9. Stereotyping Male Nurses

   algebra_demystified replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I don't worry about the gay male nurse thing at all. There are quite a few gay male nurses, but I don't feel like I need to comment on that situation. What does that mean to me? Most of the gay...

10. Not happy with grade.

    algebra_demystified replied to rdesanta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you're being hard enough on yourself. Everything you see in A&P 1-3 will be back again. The last time I counted it up, I repeated all the same content from A&P six times...

11. Tips for succeeding?

    algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I found this great book on psychiatry called Psychiatrists and Witch Doctors that changed my mind about a lot of things. It was probably the most important book I read in my masters program (though...

14. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I had another appointment after the one under discussion where I almost left. The missionary guy was proselytizing and that struck me as grandiose and entitled, but the couple that came after...

15. Today a patient asked, "Do you know Jesus?"

    algebra_demystified replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's a really great answer. Partly because it is true. The other part is because it puts the focus back on the patient, and that's where it should be. Why should a patient pay to help me with my...
