  1. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    middleager replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's not surprising, my daughter once told me, your brain doesn't work like everyone else's, you just aren't quite right. I am sure she meant it in the nicest way. Let me try again, when we see a...

  3. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    middleager replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SWM2009, I don't think the OP is against diversity nor advocating sexism. I do however stand that if this post were a male making the same comments about females in a male dominated profession, would...

  4. Half Question/Half Pet Peeve

    middleager replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a male made such a comment in business or other area's it would automatically be labeled sexist and attacked with vigot. There was a recent article about lowering the physical requirements for...

  5. Comic relief...

    middleager replied to SGroRN87's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't mean to come off condemning the OP. I had a close friend who was a cop in the inner city. He is a great guy, but one night we were having a drink and he started talking about a domestic...

  6. Comic relief...

    middleager replied to SGroRN87's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    a young man overdoses, is mentally devestated, a caregiver trusted with his wellbeing finds humor in his actions, uses it for her amusement, it is posted as funny.....evidently adorable is in the eye...

    middleager replied to balatro's topic in Men in Nursing

    If Martin Luther King or Susan B Anthony had just accepted it as the way it was, where would we be as a society. They fought the wrong and changed society. Accepting a wrong contributes to it....

  10. Will I be facing discrimination?

    middleager replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sexism is sexism regardless of how you package it or who you discriminate against. He should be offended just as an African American should be offended when someone discriminates against them because...

  11. Etiquette in the OR?

    middleager replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    While one understands everyone is human, when one expects a patient to place an incredible amount of trust in someones professionalism and compassion, the betrayal of that trust when they are most...

  12. A vent thread for patients- what can we do better?

    middleager replied to canoehead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting thread. I am a little unclear why there would be such a strong reaction against it. I understand there may be the feeling that to a degree an "intersantium" had been breeched by...

  13. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    middleager replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What an idiot, not surprising when you look at his job he was a dj. If he expects nurses to be his "fantasy girl" what can we expect from a dj shock jock. Not much, our expectations are more in...

  16. Sexist Comment by Unit Director

    middleager replied to whill08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a person is going to be offended by inadvertant items like this that they feel were offensive to their gender, they need to be ready to do the same when it cuts the other way. Are you offended by...

  17. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    middleager replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I find it very disturbing that nurses feel the general public has such a negative opinion of them. My personal and from what I hear from others could not be further from that point. I think a more...

  18. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    middleager replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems whether it is a patient or a boss, complaints seem easier to dish out than compliments. I think the number of nurses who ignore or are truely neglient as in the article are a very small...

    middleager replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    folks, I am an outsider here. I am not a nurse, if i could pick any profession to be in at this point of my life I would love to be a nurse. Not for the money, I am a business man and make more...

  21. Do doctors and nurses hate each other?

    middleager replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    From the outside, while I have seen some Dr's treat the nurses as part of a team, over all my observations has lead me to be less than impressed with how Dr's treat/regard their nurses. I had to see...

  22. Do RN's ever do physical examinations?

    middleager replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if the OP did not mean physical exams in what non medical people think of when one says physical exam ie sports physicals, pre employment, DOT, annuals,

  23. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    middleager replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Carolladybelle, excellent point, I could not agree with you more. As long as someone is willing to accept that when they are on the end of the decision that requires them to make that choice, I could...

  24. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    middleager replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But what about the ones that were already working before it came out, are you really going to have a policy that if you worked before this date you don't have to dispense this but if you started after...
