  1. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    Well, my dear fellas, I've been circulating in a surgery room hearing meds and technicians pondering the nice teats, beautiful body and so on... of a 23 year old female pt. I also performed ER and...
  2. Is English required to be an RN?

    :balloons: Come on, don't be so critical! You did quite well in past times otherwise you wouldn't get the rights you were able to reach. AR Nurses run hundred years behind you. We are still second...
  3. Is English required to be an RN?

    It is so funny, one can believe that proper language in nursing (writing and speaking) is just an endemic problem however I can assure you that this much more universal than one could expect. We have...
  4. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

    I do not want to engage in a general (and sterile) discussion of male vs. female. To add a bit of relativity to this subject I'll say that in my country men are suffering a displacement in the global...
  5. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

    I do not want to engage in a general (and sterile) discussion of male vs. female. To add a bit of relativity to this subject I'll say that in my country men are suffering a displacement in the global...
  6. Is there a need for more male nurses?

    I have no idea if more male nurses are required but certainly male nurses are better seen on certain fields than others. There are far more male Obstetricians than female and more male gynecologists...
  7. Speaking Spanish Helpful?

    Yep! I agree, Spanish is difficult language, even for us, (specially Argentineans and Uruguayans). We do not pronounce the difference between v and b, c, s and z, ñ and nio, nia, y and ll and so on....
  8. Getting a feel for the field

    :rotfl: Hi! Tara, I don't think I could add some technical or specific detail over the pretty Gompers' explanation, however, in relation to your 3rd question (3. Is working with the...
  9. Mother-Infant Coupling

    :rotfl: Although we are from different health care systems, as I could see, on the Maternal-Child area we've got more similarities than differences. I work in a small hundred-bed private-hospital,...
  10. neonatal IV sticks

    Hi, Im just jumping on neonatology as my ultimate skill after eight years of alternating peds/adults. One picture is better than thousand words. Why dont you take a while observing other nurses?...
  11. Memory test

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm! It?s really nice exersice after a heavy night-shift? ?. I?m still driving the bus and counting people.
  12. Low Down on Nursing Education

    Guys! Really a long thread... Following statistics, (beyond all of us), education is a global tendency. Probably this kind of discussions is going to be obsolete very soon. Things change so fast. By...
  13. Ultram cost me my new dream job

    Dear kellygirl, Forgive my impertinence but as you have probably seen we use to engage ourselves in discussions that touch us personally. I'd like to live in the same Location...
  14. paramedic goinggoing going!!

    Everyone is free of doing what his/her heart desires. Anyway, a good reflection over group's dynamic interaction would be to keep in mind that dialectic interchange between members is precisely what...
  15. paramedic goinggoing going!!

    :) Rj1973, I don't know what are you worrying about, uncertainty of making the wrong decision perhaps? After two years of being a full-time paramedic in Mar del Plata(the main Argentinean sea side...
  16. nurses failed to adequately examine the patients

    Angelbear, I'm just coming from my night shift and I cannot let your comment pass away. Not to flame you, what you say is OK, but may be, loosing some relativity. I've been a pt too, and I'm grateful...
  17. What a way to ring in the new year

    I had to work from 10 PM of 31 to 6 AM of 1-1. I couldn't stop to have a toast with my coworkers until 3,30 am. I had to cover the ER, and help in peds. So, at 1,00 AM I'd to assist a cesarean, at...
  18. Large man wound care

    Zacarias. As I can see there are no essential differences between your job and ours when we get on that field. In my actual jobplace we are so shortaged that unfortunately if pts like this one don't...
  19. What did SANTA bring YOU this year????

    :kiss Hi! Monica, Merry Christmas you too! Well, Santa brought me good and bad things for this year. Good things like a new faster computer, a deeper comprehension of my limitations, courage and...
  20. Nursing,"Who you are"? or "What you do"?

    Certainly what I do and not what I am. It'll sound too philosophical may be, but "I am", it is what witnesses what "I do" and what I don't do, as well. Just to put our identity in whatever we do...
  21. patients smoking

    I remember a night shift few days ago, getting in my first pts double-bed-room to take their vitals and get acquainted with them. I saw a middle age fatty lady lying pleasantly on her bed while...

  23. Nurses are Overworked

    Well... yes, we're so engaged if hot discussions around our rights that often forget about someone saying things like that. Thank you
  24. My Theory On Modern Nursing vs How It Used To Be

    :) Come on! Angelbear, It is a dialectic interchange. Just the art of arguing in order to find the truth or at least a point close to balance. Dialectic allows us to grow as professionals and as...
  25. My Theory On Modern Nursing vs How It Used To Be

    :) Another one of these posts.. I would really sincerely love to know, what do you propose nurses do about it to start to change things? --------------------------------------- I posted already....
