  1. union pro or con

    nursemedic78 replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I am now working at my first non-union hospital in my eight year career and it is the most pleasant and patient-centered working environment I have ever been in. Selfish and uncaring people do not...

  2. How many RN's would go the BON about MA's

    nursemedic78 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing I just don't understand the problem you're having; I'm certainly not aware of any uproar or even any disharmony. The Board of Nursing's jurisdiction over CNA's is brought to you by the...

  3. Student Question

    nursemedic78 replied to wlb06's topic in Men in Nursing

    The numbers don't lie. Nationwide, ADN students pass the NCLEX-RN exam at higher rates than BSN students, plus they spend about $15,000 to $30,000 less for it. RN-to-BSN programs are easy to come by...

  4. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    nursemedic78 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    The stereotype that really grinds my gears is when straight men are labeled as homophobic for choosing not to socialize with men who dress like Elton John and talk like Perez Hilton or Steven...

  5. 1 thing....

    nursemedic78 replied to wlb06's topic in Men in Nursing

    What is 1 thing that makes you regret being a nurse (anything, and if you dont regret anything whats the thing that bothers you the most)? I don't regret anything about it and what bothers me the most...

  6. Prospective Second Degree Nurse Needs Advice

    nursemedic78 replied to jbjorn2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    If your program doesn't require it, I'd call it a giant and enormous waste of time and money. Everything you will learn in a CNA course is geared toward long-term care and, if you take it, you will...

  7. How many RN's would go the BON about MA's

    nursemedic78 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    MA's don't fall under the jurisdiction of the board of nursing in any state I've lived

  8. Patient reactions to L&D nurses who have never had children

    nursemedic78 replied to BarkowRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You think you've got it rough? Try being a male OB

  9. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    nursemedic78 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. One should not be expected to... but when that person does project a particular image, they have to understand that they alone are accountable for that image. If a very calm,...

  10. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    nursemedic78 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    What they said about you sounds like unequivocal sexual harassment. Imagine how quick you would be called in to human resources if you looked at two short haired nurses and said "We sure don't have to...

  11. Would you marry a female MD?

    nursemedic78 replied to cgun101's topic in Men in Nursing

    ...she'd have to be pretty hot. After a few years on the job of dealing with the grumpy old sexist bastards that they are forced to call colleagues, most female MDs end up with the personality of a...

  12. Code Blue in LTC

    nursemedic78 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a former-LTC RN and a field paramedic, so I hope I can give you a unique perspective... In 13 years as a paramedic, I have never (and I don't use that word lightly) been to a...

  13. IN NEED of some nursing advice - DECISION MAKING

    nursemedic78 replied to BabyNurse_PJN's topic in Nursing Career

    Note: you're out of your mind if you're listing "rent-free" as a con! :) It sounds to me as though you already know the answer, you just aren't ready to own it yet. LPN to RN is only a year and when...
