  1. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    First, I want to thank all of you for engaging in this issue. I know it's difficult, not an easy problem to solve the way things are today. I'm convinced most of you do your best to help both genders...

  2. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    Anyone can create a no-win scenario. In your specific scenario with Patients A and B -- of course, you go with what you've got. Patient safety always comes first. But, are you suggesting that the all...

  3. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    poetnyouknowit -- I reject the way you framed your question -- and that's a major part of the problem with discussing this issue. The right questions aren't being asked. I refer you to a study --...

  4. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    To wahwahgerman -- Everyone is different. They have different values and beliefs. Everyone isn't the same as you. Do you believe these differences should be respected? Or do believe in the "one size...

  5. 'I love my patients!'.

    Cul2 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Some of you might want to check out the book "Moderated Love: A Theology of Professional Care" by Alastair V. Campbell. "Love" is a complex concept that can be defined differently in different...

  6. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    If a facility considers this issue important, it can do several things. -- Work to balance genders on shifts. -- Work to balance skill levels with genders on shifts. -- Actually work to hire...

  7. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    Some good points. Nothing to be ashamed of? Shame isn't an objective status. It's subjective. Granted, how you approach a patient is essential and can make a difference, but whether a patient feels...

  8. Modesty Issues

    Cul2 replied to ToryAdore's topic in Operating Room

    I think you need to be very careful about what you assume is on a patient's mind. The fact that very few posters here mention as a standard that you should ask the patient about their gender choice in...

  9. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    Cul2 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    " I have seen both men and women "discriminated" against, usually ( not always) based more on social approach, skills or work attitude, not gender." If gender isn't an issue, why do the female...

  10. You know you're Old School when...

    Cul2 replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    "String of cups on all males who just had prostate surgery..." Would somebody explain

  11. Why do i hear that nurses are mean???

    Cul2 replied to star1287's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As has been stated, so much depends upon perception and what goes into that. Here's an article based upon a study that may be of interest: "Undermining Self-efficacy: the consequences of nurse...

  12. Something I have noticed during clinicals re: Dr's and privacy

    Cul2 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do any of you notice gender differences in regard to patient privacy? Is a woman's privacy, generally, respected more than a man's -- or is about the same? Are female doctors more aware of privacy...

  13. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    Cul2 replied to greenykilt's topic in General Students

    This thread is both very affirming and very disturbing. Affirming because people are willing to stand up to this unprofessional, hostile, perhaps illegal behavior and report it. Disturbing because...

  14. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

    Cul2 replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "the big problem as i see it,,,,is that "customer service" is designed to make customers want to return for more. Were as good health care is designed to prevent the need to return.......this...

  15. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    Cul2 replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    There's a non fiction book called "A Taste of Your Own Medicine." Can't think of the author. About a doctor who developed cancer and had to go through a process he had only seen from one side of the...

  16. Do you think male nurses get more respect?

    Cul2 replied to Meg88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hearing "commanding" respect. Exuding confidence. No nonsense attitude. I'm not saying these aren't part of the picture. But we're talking about respect here, right? It's one thing to get people...

  17. I feel like I am working at Walmart...The customer is always right!

    Cul2 replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Batman 25 and some others -- I completely agree with your comments. At the same time, I completely agree with the importance of communication, which was brought up by a recent poster. You seem to...

  18. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Age and gender can be factors, but I do agree that we need judge individuals. But, face it, society does have age restrictions based upon various criteria. So, age can be a valid cut off for certain...

  19. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Try this. This should work:...

  20. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry if I've sounded condescending. That's not my intent. I think my concern here goes beyond gender, although I do think that is an issue that is often overlooked. My concern goes to training....

  21. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To PMFB-RN -- Thanks for your complete answer. You do make your position clear. I do seriously question one of your statements. It is this: "I very, very much doubt that any man is going to be more...

  22. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It just interests me that the whole discussion is totally from the cna's point of view. It starts with the mother's concern. What's she concerned about? That the girl's young sensitivities will be...

  23. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You misunderstand my position. I agree with you. Of course males should be allowed to be cna's and nurses. I'm not disputing that. But this thread is about a 16-year-old girl and how it's just...

  24. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When you say that gender doesn't make any difference -- for whom? It's obvious you mean for the caregiver. And I'll even dispute that. Some caregivers feel much more comfortable dealing with same...

  25. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    Cul2 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How do any of you feel about a 16-year-old male cna trainee cleaning the genitals of an alert elderly women? Perhaps being mentored by an 18 or 19 year old more experienced cna? How do you think some...
