  2. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for the clarification, dtchavey. As I've said, I'm convinced the right attitude, the right approach,the right empathy, caring, can break down these barriers, most of the time, with both...

  3. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    "There are a lot of reasons for this behavior. Male nurses who are new grads, but have never worked as a PCT or CNA are the worst offenders. The unfortunate reduction of clinical hours as mandated by...

    Cul2 replied to FutureNurseKaturah's topic in General Nursing

    "Well what is HIPAA?" The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 As a future nurse, you need to become familiar with this act, esp if you get involved in shadowing and get...

    Cul2 replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. How do you guys feel about shadowing?

    Cul2 replied to FutureNurseKaturah's topic in General Nursing

    How do you handle HIPAA with high school students? Those under 18 can't legally sign a paper attesting to their compliance. They're minors. They're under no binding legal constraints to keep patient...

  7. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike -- Good post. A few points. 1 You write: "Many men with military experience, for example, have been schooled to overcome their modesty." That may be true for some but not all. I bothers...

  8. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike -- On other posts I try to disconnect racial prejudice from this whole modesty issue. In most all cases, they're not the same at all. I'm not saying it can never be the same. In my last...

  9. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike: First, I want to thank you for such thoughtful posts. As I said before, I don't think disagree over too much. Yes, "shallow" was not a good word to describe any kind of empathy. But I do...

  10. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Interesting post, nursemike. We really don't disagree on most items. I'm certainly not saying this gender problem is the nursing profession's fault. It's a cultural dynamic. And I'm not suggesting we...

  11. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike: Attempting here to play the Devil's Advocate -- I think what annoys some men is what they consider the double standard regarding this whole issue of men's modesty and accommodation. You...

  12. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Whoa, dude, why the hostility? Mike has a valid point. He witnessed what appeared to him controlling and jealous behavior and just said that in hindsight, he wondered whether getting the pt alone for...

  13. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike: "Each patient is unique, and even the same patient may be very different at different times. When I argue that gender shouldn't matter, I don't mean "take it or leave it." But I do...

  14. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Interesting comments, nursemike. Let me start by saying that, for me, gender of caregiver for intimate care isn't necessarily a big issue. As with most patients, it's contextural depending upon many...

  15. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike -- Thanks for your thoughtful response. As I've stated before, patient attitude toward nurse gender for intimate care, I believe, is most likely connected with whether patients feel...

    Cul2 replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike -- I've followed many of your posts and have great respect for you point of view -- which I've expressed in the past. But I need to point out some reasoning flaws in your last post. --...

  17. True ER stories

    Cul2 replied to Kel Cardaras's topic in Nursing Humor

    Look, all. Do what you want. It doesn't upset me personally. I'm just expressing an opinion. There are consequences for everything we do. Some good, some bad. The fact is, you're open to the world. I...

  18. True ER stories

    Cul2 replied to Kel Cardaras's topic in Nursing Humor

    This the la la land of the internet. People often write as if they're in the break room or having coffee with a friend in an intimate setting. This is the "world-wide web" folks. World-wide. It's...

  19. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    Cul2 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "What is wrong with saying "I am getting my RN"? ALot of people are going for their RN and its fine to say that. It does not bother me at all when people tell me they are going for their RN. I don't...

  20. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    You make an important point, monsuun. Patient gender preference is most often very complex. It most often has nothing to do with whether they think one gender is more competent than another. It...

  21. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    nursemike "If I were doing a straight cath on a female, another male should be just as capable as any female of testifying that I did nothing inappropriate. But would the patient not think it odd if I...

  22. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    to colin the red rn -- what you've described is a very caregiver-centered practice. i'm not saying it may not be necessary. we live in a world that often requires it. but it takes away...

  23. Gender/Wal-Mart Case/Ginsburg/Nursing

    During the Supreme Court's recent discussion of the Wal-Mart gender-discrimination case, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, compared this case to a successful 1970's case against American Telephone and...

  24. Gender/Wal-Mart Case/Ginsburg/Nursing

    Cul2 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Let's say I agree with her. What I'm trying to do is see how her logic applies to a profession, like nursing. Are women more likely to hire women, and men more likely to hire men? I think that's...

  25. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    Cul2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is there a connection between these two quotes found on this thread? “If I have a choice I'd prefer a female doctor because they've been through the procedures, and tend to use more appropriate...
