    Designated "muscle" on clinicals

    ArrowRN replied to oklamedic2011's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As a nurse they try the same thing with you on the floor. Don't try to be that hero and end your career young...if it takes 4 female nurses to move a pt and they get you and 2 other, you make sure to...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    ArrowRN replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Definite sexism and gender discrimination, in OB clinicals I laid low, kept my mouth shut and that was that. Did not see a delivery and did not care to see one because I had that experience as an EMT...

    This can't be safe at all

    ArrowRN replied to theradiantforce's topic in First Year After Licensure

    run for the hills is what I got to say about that. Very unsafe and is quickly becoming a common practice. Until new grads start showing employers they won't stand for this then it will keep...

    Nursing school is on probation, need to transfer

    ArrowRN replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    ArrowRN replied to terrahh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Would you quit over white uniforms?

    ArrowRN replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    As long as I can't see the colorful prints of some nurses underwear , I'm fine with white and occasional do wear white. A person can quit or strike but a private employer has the right to impose any...

    ArrowRN replied to newgrad000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ArrowRN replied to jetMA96's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ArrowRN replied to kabooski's topic in Male Nursing Students
