  8. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    This is my favorite thread I have read!!!! I agree with the OP and the replies of the like. I would love to chime in, but I am a male and have been roundly chastised when I have brought this up before...
  9. What are your pet peeves?

    Discharged a fellow RN's patient while she was busy with another. Mid 30ish female, unkempt hair, barely opened her eyes, very minimal response to my communication and discharge process...I get the...
  10. Hindrance to professional growth

    I reread this post. My original response was born out of frustration, and it was uncalled for. My apologies, especially the grammar comment,
  11. Hindrance to professional growth

    I will take the next step, this is what is was heading for. I experienced disgusting conduct this past week by my female coworkers that pushed me to the point where I had to voice this. Joe Shmoe had...

    Thank you sassy5d... Your response is a breath of fresh air!!! This is ALL that I was hoping for, and all that is required to effect change. So many, even on here, squirm and point to something other...

  20. Hindrance to professional growth

    No, no more policies. I am just looking for consistent behavior. I'm out, these threads become cloudy by subjective occurrences and it diverts from the principal set forth, too difficult. Perhaps this...
  21. Hindrance to professional growth

    I agree. I am just trying to focus on the minority perspective in this situation, the male RN. No biggie, I'll just try to incorporate some ideas set forth in my own practice. Thanks to all,
