  1. Christian Science Nurses

    RedBrick replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the legislation that has happened in parts of the country around this topic are due to protecting the public's understanding of the title "nurse." We have used this title too long to likely...

  2. Christian Science Nurses

    RedBrick replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with you more. I do not diagnose anyone based on the Bible or any other book. I do not even identify as a Christian. I am a registered nurse, and I use the NANDA nursing diagnoses to...

  3. Christian Science Nurses

    RedBrick replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    The lay public is unlikely to encounter a Christian Science nurse outside a CS facility. I have never met such a person who was impersonating a registered nurse. Quite the contrary, such nurses would...

  4. Christian Science Nurses

    RedBrick replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Of course this begs the question, who decides what is rational? Not all religious theory is irrational. If it were, it would just be superstition. There would also be no place for chaplains in...

  5. Christian Science Nurses

    RedBrick replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    I have wrestled with Christian Science my entire life. My grandmother was a Christian Science Practitioner. At the end of her life, she opted to go to a Christian Science nursing home, where she was...

  6. Finally got a position!

    RedBrick replied to NYRN08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in December 2008 and I am finding now there is a hiring freeze on for grad nurses. I am glad I have other talents from which to earn a living. This was totally unexpected. Some of my grad...

  7. Age Factor

    RedBrick replied to rpc19's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll be 55 when I graduate with ASN in December

  8. OB Rotation is Hell

    RedBrick replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Doulalove, This is a really interesting thread. I think it speaks to a greater reality than just L&D, but what is the role of a man in nursing...how is that different than a woman in nursing?...

  9. OB Rotation is Hell

    RedBrick replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would not assume that some think it is sexist, or that the students do not have the patient's interests in mind. The concern here is that we spend x-number of hours in clinicals each week, and if...

  10. What's nursing school like?

    RedBrick replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have another semester to go. This has been the most challenging thing I have undertaken. It has forced me to explore ways to increase my self-esteem, which is a very good thing. We are tested, in...

  11. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    RedBrick replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had been a CNA for 3 years, doing routine baths and bathroom detail with female clients without incident, when a new male RN at the hospital took me aside and said "it is not if, but when you will...

  12. Im 42 year old male and just about to begin Nursing

    RedBrick replied to ready2beAnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Jeff, I am sorry for your loss. However, if you are intelligent and compassionate, you will be a fantastic nurse. If you have any interest in this, why not? I will be 55 by the time I graduate. I,...

  13. OB Rotation is Hell

    RedBrick replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just finished OB and Peds rotations. I am 54 years young. At first I felt unfairly treated. I wondered what I was doing in OB, because I was not allowed in the rooms during delivery. As time...

  14. How do you deal with female patients?

    RedBrick replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was a CNA for 3 years while taking prereqs before full-time nursing school began for me. To be honest, I never gave it much thought when it came to giving someone a bath. I took the CNA course...

  15. male nurse haircut rules

    RedBrick replied to albert6jed's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sure, I have worked with guys who have tats and they were excellent nurses. I never heard a complaint about it from

  16. I don't want to be a CNA anymore.

    RedBrick replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. What this CNA is describing is not something one person should be expected to do all by themselves. I have worked as a CNA, and I have also been abused by nurses who refuse to help me....

  17. As nurses do you see the need for medical assistants?

    RedBrick replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I told a friend I was thinking of nursing school, and her advice to me was to become a CNA first to make sure nursing would make sense for me. I am so glad I did! I have a much more...
