  1. Travel Raves anyone??

    exit96 posted a topic in Travel

    I have thought about Traveling for a long time. I have Med/surg, ED, ICU experience. Not sure how soon I will "go for it." But our youngest is graduating high school and my wife and I may look into...

  2. Sexism in nursing

    exit96 replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    I understand the connection. He (and he's not alone) gets sick and tired of the obsessive, continual, out of context comments about peoples children, so his vasectomy discussion is an example of...

  4. Annoying female coworker conversations

    exit96 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

  5. Annoying female coworker conversations

    exit96 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    My opinion has always been; it's not necessarily the "topic" unless it's your only topic everyday. It's just as annoying when it's coming from a

  9. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

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

    Not really. This is what I have seen and continue to see where I work. I should speak up, but that is not as easy as it sounds when being the minority. I am ever so gently trying to approach and...

  14. Satisfaction scores

  15. That certain odor on some patients and their visitors

    exit96 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Oh heck yes! Poor, stupid, filthy people...they smell "earthy" but off to the left of that mixed with something

  16. Work during nursing school?

    exit96 replied to cerda394's topic in General Nursing

    Be a CNA...might be a good dose of reality. I worked as CNA, played music on the weekends, got my LPN, worked 3-4'jobs the whole way...good

  17. ED to ICU

    exit96 posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Not looking to jump to ICU full time just yet, but for those of you that have done this: Do you like the ICU more than the ED? If so, why? I have only started orienting per diem in ICU and am still...

  18. Facial hair for interview?

    exit96 replied to Doindia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I "get" the whole N95 situation. Outside of that it is pure BS. Sexism, whatever. I love my female coworkers, seriously, they are great. But there is an assumed, or real, aversion for men and their...

  19. Acidic Posting

    exit96 replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Nursing

    I'll admit, if someone talked to me in person, with the same language shared in print, they would see my smile and my heart. I think, and I am as guilty as any, we need to get over ourselves, to a...

  22. Annoying female coworker conversations

    exit96 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    How many women have replied to this post? Only reason I ask is that it is clearly a "men in nursing" forum. I wouldn't do that to a "female only" thread. This may be directly related to the original...

  23. Acidic Posting

    exit96 replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Nursing

    Nicely stated. I try, but my passion sometimes wants me to just throw it out there, and sometimes I believe people need to hear it in that

  24. To RNs: Would you encourage students to get into nursing from a practical standpoint?

    exit96 replied to Nickoxp's topic in Men in Nursing

    Ditto. But, do remember, there are more options in the nursing profession than any other. On the overall premise you mention, this whole Country is going down, pay scales are being leveled off...go...

  25. From construction to nursing, has it been done?

    exit96 replied to jerc47's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was a self employed interior custom finish carpenter for 12-13 yrs. Went to college, for the first time in my life at 44, went straight through until I graduated from nursing school. Of course it...
