  3. Do Mean Girls make Mean Nurses

    CSARmedic replied to CSARmedic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree entirely only because that I think that nurses have only recently figured out what the problem was and has been. I don't restrict my analogy to just the term bullying as it is also...

  4. Do Mean Girls make Mean Nurses

    CSARmedic replied to CSARmedic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK. I get the gist of all of your comments. Yes, I was generalizing and yes, it is the sum of all of my experiences and is not to be taken as a characterization of nursing as a whole. I was just...

  6. Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    CSARmedic replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you but it doesn't make me feel any better about the situation. VERY frustrating. I think you'll be praying for quite some time. The (generally) non-confrontational nature of women precludes...

  7. Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    CSARmedic replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    CHEAPER nurse is all they care about! And that's all that matters. He who keeps the business (hospital) profitable is the King! You don't get it - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT NURSES! They don't care about...

  8. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    CSARmedic replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more with you Howardhughes. I've walked away from nursing twice and now I'm giving it another shot as an APRN student but nothing has changed. This behavior is so ingrained in the...

  9. Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    CSARmedic replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Guttercat, you are one of the very few people (nurses) I've come across that has a clue to what's going on in nursing: Nurses are putting themselves out of business. The nursing profession does not...

  10. Advice for a potential second career male nurse?

    CSARmedic replied to Iwannabea...?'s topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't do it. There are more ex-male nurses or male nurses who hate the job than I can count. Go into heavy equipment operator. Better pay, no bureaucracy, better working conditions and time off. oh,...

    CSARmedic replied to veronica123's topic in Health, Stress Management

  12. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    CSARmedic replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The first thing that occurred to me after I read your heading was "How did you know it was a med error?" Are you the charge nurse or just another "really involved colleague" i.e. nosy. In all the...

  13. How To Spot a Workplace Bully, Part One

    CSARmedic replied to rn/writer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a 6'3" 200 lbs male that's been bullied many times in my 15 years in nursing ( I think my tormentors see my size as a sort of challenge). I'm very male (not gay) and have been in the Air Force...

  15. Discrimination towards male students? Need advice.

    CSARmedic replied to Dabuggy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Having been exposed to and been a victim of sexual / gender based harrassment in the workplace, I would advise to press and finish your training but not to forget the experience. Chances are it won't...

  16. Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

    CSARmedic replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    Does anyone have an idea if this is a good representative sampling of men in nursing? Also, when I graduated men constituted approx 10% of registered nurses but it seems that it could be lower now -...

    CSARmedic replied to CANewRN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    i wouldn't be too sure of that. i have hundreds of hours behind nvg's. they do not increase flight safety. they do allow you to do more dangerous things and fly in more dangerous environments which...

  21. trouble finding a job in ICU in CT

    CSARmedic replied to Dawn7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, at night there might be 4 pt's (1 ICU), no aid, and no secretary? Is that right? Just one nurse running around trying to do

    CSARmedic replied to Elbajista's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is my third rotation in the AOR (i.e. The Sandbox) and have never met nor heard of anyone in the Army that was deployed for less than 6 months. Most Army rotations officer, enlisted, nurse, CRNA,...

    CSARmedic replied to 1LTJSMITH's topic in Government, Military

    CSARmedic replied to 2soldiers44's topic in Government, Military

    You are correct about BMT (for the Air Force). I thought thats what the poster was refering too. However, I just conformed with one of my troops who went through BMT in 2002 that there is no taping...
