  1. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am transgendered, and though I have chosen to live my life as the sex I was born (male) as, an argument I had with my aunt tonight has me wondering about some things. She does not think that I...

  2. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    And, should I be fortunate enough to get on my feet and eventually start taking classes toward a nursing degree, I could always move elsewhere to start my nursing career. Right now I just want >...

  3. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I am in DeBary, a tourist town about 30-40 minutes west of Daytona Beach. Really, I don't know why I don't like the people here, except for that they are cold-natured (every other transplant I've...

  4. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I have been living in Florida for just over a week, and I HATE it here. I'm enjoying spending with my brother, his wife and their daughter, but the people of Florida seem 'cold' to me. They're not...

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks A LOT for giving me the heads up. I tried to tell my brother that I would likely be charged out-of-state tuition rates, but he wouldn't listen :) I guess I'll just get the CNA license, since...

    tmwhalens posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering which colleges/universities offer the best nursing programs. At the moment I'm not even a CNA, but I'm one of those types that likes to be a step or two ahead. My sister-in-law is...

  7. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    The "end result", when it comes to transitioning from one gender to another, is not judged by the looks and functionality of the new genitalia, but the appearances of the person as a whole and how...

  8. Any Deaf, Hard of hearing Nurses?

    tmwhalens replied to Marvie's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Heeyyyyy (waves hand). I wearing hearing aides in both ears. I have been to college before (AS Computer & Information Technology), so I am quite familiar with the whole "advisor" deal. I know...

    I resent the 'djc' person thinking that I was 'punking' people here. Actually, I don't even know what that word means aside from someone with a mohawk, living somewhere in Ireland. I'm pretty sure...

  10. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that one day people will begin to see that living as a man or as a woman (or both?) is not a "lifestyle". It's just you-being-you. The same goes for one's sexual orientation. Being straight,...

  11. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I am bowing out of the discussion. It is becoming too personal, and perhaps even inflammatory in nature. By the way, I have not "had the operation" and this thread was not intended to talk about...

  12. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    tmwhalens replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Back last summer I was diagnosed as having an anti-social personality disorder, an anxiety disorder and a mild form of a paranoi disorder. Of course, I know that how we present ourselves on the day...

  13. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I do think there is a real connection between my being anti-social when I am in 'guy' mode (though people still like me, it's just that I don't like them as much, lol) and feeling much more 'in the...

  14. Any Deaf, Hard of hearing Nurses?

    tmwhalens replied to Marvie's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am HOH, and have been since birth. My biological mother (I am adopted) was HOH, and because of that she did not hear a train coming as she was driving across the tracks. She was taken off life...

    bump. I'm now wondering if any here are from Kentucky, and know of any transgendered nurses

  16. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I just remembered that some here were talking about how gender presentation (and not just your attitude and sense of self-worth) plays a part in how people react to you and whether you will be...

    tmwhalens replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the great comments, and I mean ALL of them. Hugs and kisses to all of you! No, let me one up that one. May the Lord bless you all as much as he has blessed me. About half-way...

  18. How can I work specifically with GLBT patients?

    tmwhalens replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in General Nursing

    One possibility would be to work with a plastic surgeon who specializes in Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). You will see natal women as patients, but mostly it will be male-to-female (MtF) persons....

    tmwhalens replied to Boondock_Saint's topic in General Nursing

    In Versailles my wife worked at Taylor Manor, and she LOVED IT there! She also really liked Grant Manor, but that's up in Williamstown. It's a bunch of nuns, but she really liked it there. She is...

    tmwhalens replied to stilquilty's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I also want to thank you for posting this! I am hearing-impaired in both ears (right=mild, left=mild-to-severe). So far I have not found many answers to my questions pertaining to nursing education...
