Male nursing and needing chaperone
So my hospital just released a new policy stating that all male team members (including nurses) must have a female present when your patient is female and you are going to be behind a closed door or curtain. Any violation results in termination This is crazy when it comes to taking care of my patients, medicating my patients, ect. We never have enough help, so looks like patient privacy is out the door for my patients. but of course physicians and advanced practitioners are exempt. What are my fellow male nurses think about this new policy. Is this not discrimination? Shouldn't it be vise versa for the females?

West Central Tech
I am in the WCT program now. I got in with a GPA 3.7 and an exam score of 84 so as long as your GPA isnt very low you should be ok. Also with the class your applying for the highest scores have to sit for an interview and seats for the class are assigned that way. Good luck to you. Mabey see you in October.

use of ED tech/UAP/CNA in ED
I work as a tech in the ER for going on my 5th year. Myself and my coworkers are all CNA or EMTS. i am sure 90 percent of us are also in nursing school. We do the work the nurses dont want to do. Job duties EKG, Blood draw, splints, vitals, code assist, just about anything besides giving meds. I am paid crap. I know however it is helping me alot for my future. I start nursing school October.
