    nurse2033 replied to Grrrse's topic in Men in Nursing

    It never gets better. Show empathy for the patient, focus on the job at hand, and git'er done. You can't walk out once you're a nurse, by the way. It's a tough job for tough men and

    nurse2033 replied to Aluvforheels's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's not like all your professional experience was on pause. What crime did you commit exactly? The recompense for letting your license expire would be to to renew your license I guess (but I'm not a...

    Student Uniforms

    nurse2033 replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OMG do shoe colors really matter?!!! Is this some sort of archaic rite of passage? Scrub colors make sense so everyone knows who is in which role. But please, let students wear something practical. If...

    Did I violate HIPAA?

    nurse2033 replied to nursing_student93's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No it is not. The hospital directory, or list of patients, is not protected. Patients are asked on admission if they want to be listed, and they may opt out. In that case, their name is either not...

    Did I violate HIPAA?

    nurse2033 replied to nursing_student93's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The entire point of HIPAA is to keep people who have no legitimate reason to be in the record, out. Being a student and wanting to learn is admirable, but simply not sufficient reason to go into a...

    nurse2033 replied to nurse2033's topic in Men in Nursing

    There's a reason I asked the salesman for help... I would say serious and professional. Perhaps the female prosecuting attorney version. You want to show you are prepared, serious about the job, and...

    Sexism in a primarily female dominated field

    nurse2033 replied to ritit123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It could be that your manager has a pleaser personality. She may be subtly flirting with them, or showing them more attention and so on just because they are men. If that's the case it is not fair and...

    Paramedic to RN

    nurse2033 replied to cklake5's topic in Emergency

    Hospital staff simply have little idea what we do in the field, or the difficulties we overcome. You just have to accept that. But, you should always take the time to try and educate

    Lifestyle Discrimination

    nurse2033 replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Should lifestyle discrimination be legal ? I wouldn't call it discrimination, but yes, when it is a proven health hazard. Smoking and obesity are both bad for your health. As nurses, we are educated...

    Radiation danger, repeated CTs by frequent flyers

    nurse2033 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    There are new guidelines for pediatrics, although I don't have the source off the top of my head. There is a movement to only do CTs on kids if there is a strong clinical indication. Of course, there...

    nurse2033 replied to marokee's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you are just acting like a guy, you could be coming off as cold, unfriendly, or indifferent. Do the women on your unit chat about cooking, boyfriends, kids, and other stuff? In an unprofessional...

    BSN or CEN?

    nurse2033 replied to montecarlo64's topic in Emergency

    Dear Murse: Are you confusing an ASN with the CEN? I never said that a BSN is better than an ASN. I never said it was desirable. I was just comparing it to the CEN. The BSN requires hundreds of hours...

    BSN or CEN?

    nurse2033 replied to montecarlo64's topic in Emergency

    In my opinion the CEN and the BSN aren't remotely comparable. The CEN is verification of knowledge and experience, but the BSN is much more work, much more money, and shows much more commitment to...

    I hope you have been directed towards Change Theory. This will show you the steps required for change (sort of like the stages of grief, but different). I don't think enforce is a good word. How about...
