  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    OldPhatMC replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my OB rotation we saw one physician line up five babies for circumcision, using a block on all of them. It really wasn't supra pubic, it was more circumfrential around the base of the member, thus...

    hi kaeri: i'm going to warn you, i've seen this stuff all over the us and i hope that we wont have any cross cultural issues, but it seems that bureaucracy is a universal language. here's some...

    OldPhatMC replied to grace90's topic in Nursing Humor

    Okay, more heavy than funny, but My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade" "Son when You grow up, Would you be The saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?" Sounds like nursing...

  4. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    OldPhatMC replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey SOS! It's not a matter of "getting over ourselves". Far as I'm concerned, seen one fuzzywumpus, seen em all. But we're supposed to be seeing things like vacuum delivery, various presentations,...

  5. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    OldPhatMC replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dude --- I certainly hope that things get better. As I said above, my rotation was excellent. There will always be man-hate on the floor BUT even the haters know better. I didn't mind getting refused...

  6. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    OldPhatMC replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just finished up my OB rotation and I had a great time. :rollI was expecting some man-hate and patient refusals, but there wasn't much of that. I think it was because I was in a hospital with...

    OldPhatMC replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Attractive female doctor? I've never seen one! Well, okay, there was one, but she was doing a circumcision at the time. Taking knife to pee-pee is an automatic MAJOR loss of hot points, even if it...

  8. Nursing Shoes For Men, do they exist?

    OldPhatMC replied to nursesaideBen's topic in Men in Nursing

    Try the Brooks Addiction Walker. I have had excellent support and great comfort with them. They hold up very well too. My only cheat is to put in an after-market memory foam insole. I like the Crocs a...

  9. UnGodly Painfull Class!

    OldPhatMC replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for setting my expectations. I take a similar course in about six weeks: if there's a term paper due, I'm calling it "Don't hate me because I have a pee pee!" Seriously, I think that my...

  10. Horrid clinical uniforms

    OldPhatMC replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That's terrible, I'm sorry ... I'm lucky. We wear white chef pants and an oxford (hooray for button down collars) white shirt made out of comfort preventing poly cotton. The two patches are sewn (or...

    OldPhatMC replied to ninipanini621's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm a CNP student in the Germanna cohort. I started in the first class; we're known as the "guinea pig" group. It has been colorful at times. As an LPN with experience you'll fit in well. My group...
