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

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

    "Are you suggesting that the care our male colleagues provide to women is humiliating? Certainly not. A male nurse can place a bedpan just as well and professionally as a female nurse." Of course not....

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

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

    "When I was an LPN a patient rang her call light and I answered it. She told me she didn't want me because she wanted a REAL nurse, not someone who was either too stupid or too lazy to go to college....

  3. How about a reality show about Nurses....like "COPS"

    Cul2 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Consider a few things about some of the "reality" shows out there: 1. Prison Shows -- Totally voyeuristic. In the 18th and 19th century we used to charge people to view the mentally within...

  4. Do you bag your bodies naked?

    Cul2 replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    "this is not a question of dignity since you are technically COVERING the client with the BODY bag... the client is NOT NAKED." Whether it's a question of "dignity" is not a closed question as you...

  5. Terrible first clinical experience (CNA)

    Cul2 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    Good thread. I can see a young nurse just starting being hesitant to stand up to those doing the training when poor care is observed. I'm not necessarily excusing it, but I do understand it. On the...

  6. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

  7. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Sometimes you get a really hot 14- or 15-year-old and think, man, I just can't go there...hey, Debbie... (not typically a problem, though. Our peds are usually seizure patients and don't need...

  8. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    Two points: 1. "And that's assuming that there are qualified males to do the jobs you want them to be hired for..." Those of us old enough, remember the same arguments being used in the...

  9. The Great Double Standard?

    Cul2 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    "I also don't think we should ask every patient if they prefer a male or female doctor, nurse, sonographer, xray tech, ekg tech, etc. That will just open a can of worms that will make it impossible...

  10. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Cul2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's been a bit of comment here about "nursing theory" and it's relationship to professionalism. Theory is theory. Call it nursing theory or teaching theory or or legal theory. The key to any...

  11. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    Cul2 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    'I am a nurse for a np also she preforms physical on all types of ages and all males are completely nude . As a woman it brothered me at first I have to be in their. But now it ok I know I have a job...

  12. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    Cul2 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    just4 What can I say? Within the conditions you describe, you're absolutely correct. Within those conditions you need to try to treat people with as much dignity as possible with your focus on...

  13. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    Cul2 replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    So -- what's the difference between a personal journal and blogs like this? I realize this technology is relatively new, but at what point (or are they doing it now) will lawyers ask you if you blog...

  14. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    Cul2 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Where I work there is no staff available to cater to modesty. I insert and remove urinary catheters all day on men and women. My colleagues are equally busy and we have no time to drag each other...

  15. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Cul2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's a tendency among some professions and society to consider those members who work directly with the client/patient/customer as less professional. You can't get away from the historical fact...

  16. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    Cul2 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    JBudd -- One of the main questions is this: What kind of exam is this? You have valid suggestions, but a sport's physical is not a wellness exam or a full physical. It's an exam required to play...

  17. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    Cul2 replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "How exactly can they be using a theory in there practice they don't even know?" I'm assuming this is in reference to my last post. What I'm saying is this: Whatever we do is based upon some...

  18. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    Cul2 replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Theory or philosophy underpins everything we do. We are either aware of these foundational values behind what we do or we're not. I think it's best to be aware of them. It seems, though, that it's...

  19. Student observers in the O.R...

    Cul2 replied to ShirleyM's topic in Operating Room

    Most patients understand the importances of on site, hands on training of medical professionals. Most patients will probably, if approached properly, allow medical and nursing students to observe in...

  20. Student observers in the O.R...

    Cul2 replied to ShirleyM's topic in Operating Room

    I realize this thread is 5 years old, but I'll post here hoping someone is interested in continuing the discussion. Frankly, I can't believe what I'm reading. High school students view surgery? Here...

  21. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    Cul2 replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    I've read this thread carefully. Frankly, I'm amazed it has remained as civil as it has. Gender is not an easy subject to discuss in society. My opinion -- DonaldJ and Mike A. Fungin RN (and some...

  22. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    Cul2 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    The OP asks: "Is this practice standard?" tbrd450 answers this question concisely: "As a male who has had numerous exams, visits and procedures I can tell you that any sort of consistent...

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

    Cul2 replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No wonder there's so much confusion. This, from a web site that is "explaining" the difference between LPN, CNA, LVN, RN, etc: "The nursing profession has different levels. In a hospital setting,...

  24. Patient gender preference

    Cul2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Not a lot of info seems to be available about the specific contexts of patient preferences for nurse gender. How many men and women don't want opposite gender care for anything? How many men and women...

  25. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Cul2 replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    A question -- If a nurse is hired and is granted certain restrictions (won 't do certain things) as discussed here based upon religion or some other factor, does the patient have a right to know this...
