  2. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    The indoctrination for males starts early. To play sports in junior high or high school you all line up for a hernia check with the school nurse (female) and often a teacher(female) watching. They...

  3. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    If there were male mammographers would that be something appropriate for the male mammographer to say to you needing a mammogram or say your daughter even if it wasn't verbalized. But then...

  4. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Mike Your position is that gender doesn't matter and given that there are no male mammographers and virtually no male nurses working in L&D what have you done to sway female patients...

  5. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nursemike I responded to the website in that first do no harm. What else can I do. It is a known fact since the 60's some nurses would indulge in this behavior. Nursing school...

  8. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

  9. Duties of an LPN in a Urology office

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to Newtotheoccupation's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's a great way to describe patients,"unhappy old guys". Ever ask why they were unhappy.Did you consider that maybe just maybe they would consider it appropriate to have a male do that. Would you...

  10. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

  11. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nurse mike said " Rather,we should be educating our patients that it really doesn't matter what the gender of the caregiver is." Really,tell that to all the mammography and L&D departments in the...

  15. Nurse chatting/dating patient

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to springgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In many states sexual relations with a patient is considered a crime,in addition to the fact that it is a violation of the nurse practice act. In a sense it is stalking and

  18. Male Nurses/female Patients

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Men should be asked what their preferences are regarding gender in intimate procedures. Choices for female patients have already been made ie,mammography and L&D. Equality for both,not just for...

  19. The Great Double Standard?

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    My point is implied,chaperones with female nurses for male patients. Better yet ask the patient what their Preference is FIRST. We are after all advocates for the patient first and

  20. The Great Double Standard?

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

  21. The Great Double Standard?

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    In keeping with the original thread the implication is that male nurses can't be trusted or any other male for that matter. Women have made this known in that there are no male mammographers nor male...

  23. The Great Double Standard?

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. Trauma Naked?

    ITSSOSIMPLE replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    Its disturbing that there is a gross lack of privacy provided to patients. At the trauma center where I work trauma patients are completely covered up with a blanket. Each area of the body is...
