  1. just made to feel guilty....

    Tony35NYC replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your kid always come first. If your hospital has a problem with that, too

  2. CRNA vs SRNA vs AA?

    Tony35NYC replied to TopCat1234's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    topcat, ou just asked a question that's about to cause a sh*t

  3. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Tony35NYC replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Lizz, I've been following the discussions about AAs and CRNAs, and although its still an explosive political issue, I really don't think AAs will ever become serious competition for CRNAs. The...

  4. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Tony35NYC replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    You know, you are so right about that. A friend of mine spent 23 grand on a masters degree at a private university, and she's now working part-time for $12.00 an hour, which is the same amount that a...

  5. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Tony35NYC replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I wasn't going to confess this, but what the heck. I'm only halfway through nursing school and I love it, especially the patient teaching part. I really love working with people and helping them to...

  6. Medication Errors? How many are allowed?

    Tony35NYC replied to TKD momma's topic in General Students

    TDK, Actually, you're not allowed any mistakes. From what I'm reading in the nursing journals, medication errors are increasing rather than decreasing, despite all the additional training and...

  7. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Tony35NYC replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Why feel bad about about the money? There aren't too many people out there who would get up and go to work everyday if they knew beforehand that they won't be paid for it? But I dont think most nurses...

  8. Anyone else dislike the nursing home?

    Tony35NYC replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

    I won't be doing rotations in a nursing home and I'm glad because I don't think I could handle it. I've repeatedly seen some older adults admitted to the hospital with some of the most unsightly...

  9. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    Tony35NYC replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its certainly not fair to say that female nurses are more "catty". I'm a guy, and I've worked with some male nurses who were full of more drama than a drag queen on a bad hair day. True, I have...

  10. Male L&D nurses

    Tony35NYC replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    If a female pt verbalizes discomfort with having a male caregiver, its her right to ask for somebody else, but its ridiculous to say that male nurses have no business being in L&D. I've never...

  11. Mamma's Boys (vent)

    Tony35NYC replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    Notwithstanding the male bashing in this thread, what are you refering to as a "trend"? One patient? Two? And, compared to what? You are describing your patient as a mama's boy, but isn't that an...

  12. Male nurse treatment

    Tony35NYC replied to flimbar's topic in General Nursing

    The media makes fun of male nurses? I haven't seen that. I agree that the nursing profession on the whole has lost some respect over the years, but that began happening long before so many men began...

  13. have you started becoming anal about things?

    Tony35NYC replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    I used to be extremely anal about everything. I remember how hard I was trying to impress my instructor during my first clinical. Remember how they taught us to make an occupied bed and straighten...

  14. Male coworkers harrassing female staff...

    Tony35NYC replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    "Hands" is just a jerk, and if he keeps up that attitude towards women he's gonna have problems wherever he goes after he gets fired from

  15. CRNA vs NP

    Tony35NYC replied to 4EverStudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm nowhere near grad shool yet, but I've heard the same thing from many of my instructors about doing the NP program here in Florida. At the hospital where I'm now doing clinicals, a number of the...

  16. Any Words of Wisdom- Starting 1st Sem.of Nursing School

    Tony35NYC replied to StudentNurse04's topic in General Students

    I agree with everything everyone posted here. I would emphasize that you plan in advance to seriously cut back on your social life, and prepare to spend many more hours studying each week than you...

  17. Professional in scrubs?

    Tony35NYC replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    Hey, What's wrong with looking like Florence? I think those old starched white uniforms and pins look very professional, except maybe for the cap and the white stockings. I know some of you women out...
