    styRN replied to Shan Dannon's topic in Men in Nursing

  6. Crocs banned :(

    styRN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  7. Crocs banned :(

    styRN replied to styRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nope..."all Crocs and Croc-style footwear" have been banned. It's a pretty broad ban, open to interpretation, because they still permit "clog-style open back shoes" (???) I'm not here looking for...

  8. Crocs banned :(

    styRN replied to styRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  10. Crocs banned :(

    styRN replied to styRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Asics exclusively for running, but walking and standing all day at work is alot different that running a 10k, so I'm thinking about something like these: Pothia Pacific or Rainier clogs:...

  13. Anyone sporting a beard?

    styRN replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I grow a beard from Sept - March every year for the past, i dunno, 10 or 12 years now. I'd keep it year 'round, but summers here are too hot and humid, and my wife honestly can't stand it, so I get...

  16. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

    styRN replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you only own one suit, it should be the classic "power suit" - navy blue (with or without subltle pinstripe), crisp, bright white shirt (no button-down collar) and red tie, which may be striped....

  17. Is the D.E.C an Associate degree?

    styRN replied to newlife30's topic in International Nursing

    styRN replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For the rest of your nursing carrer you'll have occasional days where you think about not wanting to/not able to go into work that day, for whatever reason. You'll not have a choice then, so treat...

  19. Gay Nurses... help!

    styRN replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am straight, but have nursed long enough in a smaller community to have had to put up with pre-conceptions that many had that all male nurses must be gay. Times have changed, however, so I find that...

  20. You know you're a male RN when......

    styRN replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're the only one in the room who remains dead silent while everyone else is going on about the nurse who's working and "PMS-ing" because you know better than to give your opinion on the

    styRN replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. Male pts.

    styRN replied to anonymurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've always had a bit of a mixed bag of rapport with male patients. Mind you, I'm in a smaller community which I think affects patient's perceptions and pre-conceived notions of a nurse. Some patients...

  25. How does your facility define "Lateness to work"

    styRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly they just don't get it. Every place I've ever worked, showing up 10 min before your shift was considered being "on time"; where I am now, just showing up right on time would put us behind the...
