Many state nursing boards are reporting a 1400 percent increase in previous felony convictions among nurses applying for nursing licenses since 1992. Is this just a sign of the times? Boundary violations are at an all time high and is a real problem ...

This thread reminds me of the timeI had knee surgery,involved in amva I was hit by a drunk driver. Up to that time I jogged 2 milesa day and worked out at my gym,suffice it to say I am in verygreat shape. Just prior to dischargeone of the floor n...

No there are not,I looked for 6 months. Mammographers are licensed radiographers with both a state and national license through the ARRT. The ARRT in Minnesota usually does not divulge gender criteria,however,the state does. In all, there are on...

It's true,at a county hospital in the Midwest,1981. But then,if you are new to nursing there would be much you would be surprised to know. Yet,who in 1981 would imagine that in 30 years there still exists inequality in nursing. That males in nur...

Very well said! Female patients who prefer a female nurse have always been accommodated from what I have seen. Yet, male patients are often ridiculed or talked about at the nurses station,despite a male nurse being available. I once walked into ...

Absoultely, yet would a thread get so much attention if the title was female nurse on male urology post-op unit. I don't think so. There is much documentation on the web regarding female nurses and sexual misconduct and it is for the most part kept o...

Exactly This problem goes beyond double-standards,ethical standards and is rightly discrimination.

The type of care in australia,the gender breakdown and preferences are of no concern to me.As I said,there are no male mammographers here in the US, and no male L&D nurses from what I've seen. It is most likely that way for a reason, and if...

Let's see, we have no male mammographers. Male nurses are essentially non-existentent in L&D units. Women,particularly nurses on this site say they prefer female nurses. Let's reverse the roles, are your male patients given choices. My urology...

A quick review of state nursing disciplinary boards reveals female nurses have sexually assaulted their male patients and thus female nurses rank highest in boundary violations. So, equally true is the fact that male patients are at risk of being gro...

When you are confined to a nursing home there will be a weirdest,grossest,most pathetic old female nursing home patient thread that describes you. Hopefully, you will be able to read it and see the fun that they make of you. Then and only the...

i really doubt it,my creep radar is still going off.

According the state laws, one may secretly record conversations of other parties as long as your voice is in the conversation. You do not have to tell them. This may be done on the telephone as well.

Sorry if I came across that way. It was not aimed at you. I was agreeing with you and with that I mentioned if the roles were reversed it would be creepy as well.

Let's reverse the roles,how about the weirdest,funniest,most gross female teenager story,joke,patient and I'm the male nurse. See the point.

Let me please add to the grief. These same people on welfare insurance use the ER as their doctors office.They come to the er with abdomen pain and want a full course meal. They don't have to make the $300.00 copay that I have to pay when I go to th...

Many male nursing students I know of were discriminated against. Many female nurses,be them instructors,etc deliberately made an effort to keep men out of nursing,Why? You don't see male mammographers anywhere do you. This is just one example of an o...

What's even worse is someone who can't do simple math.Ever wonder where these people went to school.

"The double standard that exists with female providers is a little annoying." Annoying is a very weak word, discrimination is a more appropriate word!

That is an interesting observation " I've been refused by more female nurses than patients during my OB rotation". " Female gossip is brutal regarding male counterparts" The guidelines of sexual impropriety according to every state B...

Very excellent post and very true. Although would you care to elaborate on " Males are the ones who have the burden of Being placed in an embarrassing situation;not the females. Female gossip is brutal regarding male counterparts.

Why is it that when you type into yahoo " I hate female nurses" that there are over 20,000,000 hits?

It is sexist,yet female nurses complain that they get paid less than male nurses. What did they do when male nurses were a real rare item!

You mention that you will never pawn off your work. What if you worked in L&D, or should I say if you were even able to get a job in L&D. How much of your work would you have to pawn off? Unfortunately, trust in the nursing industry is and co...
