  2. Pet Peeve

    Cul2 replied to MadNursePa's topic in General Nursing

    As several have suggested, the use of these pet names is very contextual. The answer as to whether you should use them is probably, "It depends." However, one has to look at the usual contexts in...

  5. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    Cul2 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    megan_121 -- Please explain. Does the male have a choice of chaperone gender, or is he forced to have two females in the room. If he refuses a female chaperone, is the exam canceled? Also, what do you...

  8. The End of Men

    Cul2 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

  17. The End of Men

    Cul2 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    triquee -- I agree with your comments. The most common reasons for more men not entering the nursing profession doesn't emerge from the profession itself -- it comes from embedded cultural assumptions...

  18. I am an American.

    Cul2 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "but it was totally inappropriate of the management to ask the nurse to comply with his home countries cultural norms here in the US." From my perspective, that's the key to this discussion. Of...

  22. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    Cul2 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing
