  1. Beating a dead horse...bu seriously, when will it stop?

    exit96 posted a topic in Emergency

    We've all read the threads here regarding "ridiculous ER C/C's," something to that effect, and the like. But as I go forward I just can't get past some of this ridiculous stuff. Actually, I can't even...

  2. Ideas for improving flow...

    exit96 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    I believe in the Charge Nurse role. I work a small rural ED, and we have at least 1 real good Triage Nurse. But even that individual can get caught up in emotions, and a level headed, QUALIFIED,...

  3. Beating a dead horse...bu seriously, when will it stop?

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    Actually, I believe that we should be able to earmark our tax dollars for what we believe to be correct. If someone believes in this foolishness, then they can pay. My tax dollars should not go to...

  4. Beating a dead horse...bu seriously, when will it stop?

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    I here you...but that doesn't make it "society's problem." I've seen the huddle masses, that "don't have money for co pay," with their cell phone in hand, cigarettes in hand...fine. I don't begrudge...

  5. Room Assignments

    exit96 replied to dswan7's topic in Emergency

    In my ED, we get our rooms, and then treat whatever we are given. Each of us has 1 trauma room and then general rooms. The triage nurse basically fills the rooms on an as needed basis according to how...

  6. Women and control with a male nurse

    exit96 replied to apnurserock's topic in Men in Nursing

    How about the "no men in OB/Gyn , L&D etc" laws...not that I, or very many men would want to, but really, what is the danger? And if it is about modesty, where is the consideration for the other...

  7. Women and control with a male nurse

    exit96 replied to apnurserock's topic in Men in Nursing

    I understand completely. No one would take a male patients sexual complaint, for example, with NEARLY the weight of a female patients sexual complaint, for example. I don't see how anyone could even...

  12. New Grad in the ER

    exit96 replied to Kalnizz's topic in Emergency

    I have been in my present ED for 1&1/2 yrs...ALWAYS, always, always pay attention to the other, more experienced RN's, always more to learn, everyday it seems. What I try to do is study the cases...

  13. I never, ever went to ER when I was a kid

    exit96 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    From what I witness at my place of work, my opinion and un scientific study :-): I truly believe that most of the parents bringing in their "sick" children, are most times, not even convinced that...

  14. Nurses selling at work?

    exit96 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wrong. Annoying. It's easy to see how some want to decide what fundraisers may be "appropriate." Should be policy against this

  17. Does your hospital require color coded scrubs?

    exit96 replied to Loo17's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We wear Forest Green...I like the color. But, the patients still don't know my role. They still think I'm the Physician, probably because I'm a Man. I understand the concept, but it fails. Anyone who...

  20. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

    exit96 replied to Halim F. Dagher's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's a misunderstood position us Men Nurses have to maneuver by our female counterparts. For example, my complaint has always been that, when I have a female patient that needs a pelvic exam, BEFORE...

  21. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

    exit96 replied to Halim F. Dagher's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, if this is acceptable evidence. Look at all the BRAZEN eCards posted on Facebook this week during Nurses Week. MOST are from a female nurse angle. And then look at all the sexist stuff the women...

  23. Is your spouse supportive of your nursing career?

    exit96 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    All good input in my opinion. I am someone who has a very hard time listening, or even wanting to listen to details of the day. Is it because I hate my job, or because I'm not interested? No....

  24. Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    exit96 replied to ddane94's topic in Men in Nursing

    In my L&D rotation I was received by the females with open arms! THAT was refreshing, and appropriate. I did spend some time today looking up evidence based studies on the topic, and I find our...
