    tmiller027 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    At my LTC facility, there are a few female residents who refuse to have males care for them, but there are also a few males who refuse to have females care for them. The facility I work in is good...

  2. In my CNA course guys are not allowed to provide care to female residents during...

    tmiller027 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my first week of CNA training and am male. They told me I'll be thrown right into the mix with everyone else and they don't have the staff to keep male employees and female residents separate...

  3. Update!

    tmiller027 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, I got not one, but two job offers from some different places. One is one of the nursing homes I applied to, I start CNA classes on tuesday. The other is a medical office that offered me a...

  4. just started CNA clinicals

    tmiller027 replied to alk3rainbow's topic in General Nursing

    I just got hired at a local nursing home and will begin my CNA training next week. I know it'll be hard, but I worked with dead bodies when I worked in a funeral home years ago, so I think I can...

  5. A good first step...

    tmiller027 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, In my job hunt, I've applied at some nursing homes for CNA positions. I figured that would give me some good experience before I get into the nursing program this fall. I had two interviews...

  6. A good first step...

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the advice, thank you. The good thing is, this particular nursing home has one of the best reputations in the area. They're privately funded by a local church. While I'm not very...

  7. Post-Mortem Care

    tmiller027 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in a funeral home part time so I have a little background on this. As long as the body is covered at all, like in the plastic shroud, that's all that's really necessary. I don't look...

  8. Male nursing students/nurses

    tmiller027 replied to krebs.cycle's topic in General Nursing

    Our three year old daughter had eye surgery a few months ago, and the OR nurse was a male. He was a very nice guy who treated my little girl as if she were his own. He held her hand and walked her...

  10. Pardon Me While I Vent about this "Patient As A Customer" deal

    tmiller027 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just talking from personal experience, all the hospitals in our area are private

  11. Pardon Me While I Vent about this "Patient As A Customer" deal

    tmiller027 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for seeing the point I was trying to make. I understand nurses aren't public servants like police, but it's still a similiar situation. For example, when my mom had a surgery a few years ago,...

  12. Pardon Me While I Vent about this "Patient As A Customer" deal

    tmiller027 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I'll probably get flamed for this, but here's my 2 cents: As far as patients as customers, as someone who's not yet a nurse, I'd have to say it kind of works both ways from my view. The patient, is...

  13. A change in plans

    tmiller027 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, a lot of you have seen me post about the problems I was having at my job at the police department. Well, last week, things really came to a head and got pretty ugly. When it was all over, I...

  14. A change in plans

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Julie! I hope you're right

  15. A change in plans

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Tasha! I hope they do too. I was about to drop out of school this semester and get our money back, but my wife said my nursing degree will save our butts

  16. opinion--no carb diet

    tmiller027 replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    I tried low carbs too, and couldn't do it. However, I've lost about 6 pounds in just two weeks so far, and all I've done is cut back on soda, snacks and fast food, while jogging 30 min a day at least...

  17. I hate it when people say this...

    tmiller027 replied to Shotzie's topic in General Nursing

    If it's any consolation, there are a ton of people in my nursing prereq classes who already have degrees in computers, marketing, manufacturing, etc...all are back in school for nursing because...

  18. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    tmiller027 replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I've talked to several nurses in my area since I've been in school, and all of them seem to love what they do. Many are working in LTC or a part of a hospital they dont' wish to be in, so are working...

  19. The World According to Garp

    tmiller027 replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I remember this movie. One thing, it was made almost 20 years ago in the early 80s, so I think nursing has come along way. As far as the Mediaos, there seem to be two professions constantly linked...

  20. Nicotine Addiction as a Disability

    tmiller027 replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like his only disability is having the responsibility of a 6th

  21. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    tmiller027 replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    I saw on the news earlier, they think he has some mental problems and may not have killed as many as he states. THey said they can confirm the one or two he's charged with now, but don't know if they...

  22. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I think those lawsuits were class action suits involving like 100 employees suing at the same time. At least the one I heard about in Minnesota was. That was like 200 employees and they got $11...

  23. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, you kind of hit the nail on the head. One of the accused parties went and rallied the police officer's union against us, and our chief routinely follows us around the department and...

  24. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    Well, according to federal guidlines, the maximum amount one can get in a typical sexual harrassment suit is around $300,000 plus attorney fees, depending on the number of employees, but all that...

  25. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's good to notify your managers if this keeps up. Regardless of WHY they're doing it, THEY are the ones with the problem, not you. Don't let anyone tell you different.
