  1. Male nurses earning more?

    John20 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    The males making more than females in the same job is a farce. Do any internet search on the subject and you'll see the facts. It's false feminist propaganda more interested in making noise than...

  2. Jail/Prison Nursing

    John20 replied to SPNCandace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    $20.66 for a RN?? That's garbage pay. How do they get anyone to work there. $29.29 is top scale? That's 2 or 3 years into any metro hospital. I'm suprised they find anyone to staff the

  3. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    John20 replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My wife had a baby this past winter. She stopped grooming down there due to the obstacle of her belly a couple weeks before she gave birth. She went through a couple hours of attempted lady partsl...

  4. Executive compensation

    John20 replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "Some People/professions make MILLIONS a year and have perks beyond belief, they do nothing to help a person, save a person, heal a person, comfort a person, stand by a bed side watching some one die...

  5. Partial Birth Abortion

    John20 replied to sunniejamaica's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And obviously we aren't much of a "Force" as we've been trying to end abortion for 38 years without success. "Forces" sounds so ominous for something with obviously so little

  6. Partial Birth Abortion

    John20 replied to sunniejamaica's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The correct name is "Pro-life" because we are "For" life. We're not against "choices", just a few choices that stop a beating

  7. What's wrong with seeking stability & security?

    John20 replied to oneflyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is just a job to me. I never wanted to be a nurse when I was younger, never particularly interested in a job helping people either. What I did want was an honest job that gave me the ability...

  8. Spouse Turning Nonsupportive During NP School

    John20 replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    Spouses (male or female) do need attention. My marriage is WAAAYYY more important to me than my nursing career or education. I would walk from nursing today if it got in the way. Greater financial...

  9. What else can you do with ER experience?

    John20 replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Anything. The floors love ER nurses because you become more confident in crisis by experiencing crisis. You're instructors are WAY off from my

  10. Urge Congress to Support Nursing Workforce Development Programs

    John20 replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    Where does this money come from? Why is it necessary to spend? Just because something in congress has "Nurses" attached to it doesn't make it worthy of our support. We have enough nurses there is...

  13. Macho Men in the ED

    John20 replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    I've never run into male nurses acting "macho" with patients. In fact I would say the majority of male nurses (myself included) are a lot less sensitive to being "disrespected" than many of the...

  14. Nursing School: Did you turn into Jekyll & Hyde?

    John20 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    No, because I am in control of my emotions. Nursing school really isn't that bad. Compare it to landing on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day and it's a walk in the

  15. What exactly do the RN's do on the night shift?

    John20 replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I like to sleep. Just kidding(or am I?). No really just kidding. I do read Sporting News a lot of

  17. Why Doesn't the U.S. Have an Office of the National Nurse?

    John20 replied to BBFRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, the Surgeon General already does (advocates to the public on issues of health like smoking and alcohol) what you want the CNO to do. I wouldn't mind seeing his budget(as well as everyone else's)...

  18. Why Doesn't the U.S. Have an Office of the National Nurse?

    John20 replied to BBFRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My base stance is that the federal government is already spending money it doesn't have. Don't take this as a political rant because the Republicans have wasted as much or more over the last 8 years...

  19. Why Doesn't the U.S. Have an Office of the National Nurse?

    John20 replied to BBFRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For what? Another federal government office to support with our tax dollars. Not in my opinion. Also there can be no office to speak for all of us as we all have different opinions. I'm not for health...

  20. Too many people trying to get an ABSN?

    John20 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Don't worry about why other people are going into nursing. It's a competition and the best will get in regardless of their motives. Focus on being the best. I'm one of the ones who went into nursing...

  21. Book: The Future of the Nursing Workforce in the United States

    John20 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there anything relevant in there? Because I'm sure as hell not buying any

  22. Why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses?

    John20 replied to hcer4507's topic in General Nursing

    Supply and demand. Garbage men get paid well because no one would do it for less. If our wages went down to $15/hour the field would absolutely, immediately clear out and nursing schools would as...

  23. nurses writing their own orders

    John20 replied to elizabethaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lots times I've had frustrated doctors say "I don't care what you give them". I end up writing the order and the doc usually signs it without looking. Half of this comes from a trust that we have...

  24. Nursing Associations

    John20 replied to smitty10's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No. There is no bigger waste of time than student nurse associations. It's all a bunch of talk with no substance. You work a blood drive or two which is nice but the rest of time you just talk....

  25. Germophobic considering Nursing. please help!

    John20 replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! You're done before you start. The common cold is the nicest thing you run into in a hospital. Become a telemarketer. No germs or human-to-human interaction
