    Oh my. Perhaps you are wearing those shoes. Consider it

  2. I'm a sexless nurse

    blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I sincerely don't see the female cath delegation a pawning off of work. I don't get angry when asked to lift assist large patients. I'm sorry you worked with a "lazy" male CNA. I am not lazy. I am a...

  3. I'm a sexless nurse

    blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    When the population eventually accepts male nurses, which I feel will be soon, this won't be as much of an issue. I promise you men don't get into this line of work to offend their coworkers. God as...

  4. I'm a sexless nurse

    blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I think he is. I haven't once considered my gender an impediment to providing the best care I can. I'm absolutely flawed- there are better nurses than myself in every hospital. But I am...

  5. I'm a sexless nurse

    blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. This guy is NOT saying he doesn't want to do his job. He is saying he RESPECTS a females preference, where it exists, to be treated intimately by another female. I'm so disappointed in these...

  6. Failed third time don't know what else to do

    blackhundred replied to Sincere24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. What exactly would an ortho/urology nurse do?

    blackhundred replied to biggybigmcnurseypoo's topic in Orthopedic

    Ortho units deal with (in addition to med-surg pt's at most hospitals) pre and post-op pt's with either elective or traumatic bone injury. We have all of the same comorbidities any other unit has....

  9. Second career ELM to N.P at 53?

    blackhundred replied to lorilulu's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If we have gotten to the point where your experience and enthusiasm is undervalued then the younger nurses already employed need to consider the future they are creating for themselves. All my...

  10. Nursing...Decisions, Decisions

    blackhundred replied to chinadoll88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there, good question. My recommendation is to go straight to RN if that's what you want as an end goal, especially with CNA experience. Decide on the degree path based on what is most...

  11. Interview Question Answer

    blackhundred replied to Schweet's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Number one, your preceptor should never yell at you, period. Number two, doing so in a patient's room is even more unacceptable. As a new hire, you're going to be somewhat timid, and that's...

  12. Blood pressure cuff sizes

    blackhundred replied to simboka's topic in General Nursing

  13. Benefits of being a male nurse vs Female nurse

    blackhundred replied to girtenbt's topic in Men in Nursing

    My perspective: If a patient has had a bad experience before, it was probably with a female nurse. I feel this tenders me a quick advantage when I first enter a room. Catch them off-guard and work...

  14. It Frustrates Me

    blackhundred replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's a judgment call, man. I don't exactly dig certain procedures with females, anyway. I hate the "male nurse" vice "female doctor" paradigm. But it is what it is. If they're not okay, then you...

  15. Roll Call

    blackhundred replied to Tweety's topic in Men in Nursing

    Here I

  16. How do you decide on a specialty?

    blackhundred replied to AprilS06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    School does not allow for any real differentiation, so you graduate and look for work. Many nurses end up in a relatively generalized field like med/surg fora few years (should they go the hospital...

  17. Need help with resume

    blackhundred replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First off, you sound awesome. Do your resume justice and put the facts in place. When you speak with potential employers, tell them the truth. I think in this profession, if any, employers...

  18. NCLEX

    blackhundred replied to Johnnysx3Girl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone thinks they failed, no matter the total questions taken. Seriously. I advise against the "trick", because it's not official. I do hear it's accurate, but just cool out and enjoy the break....

  19. feeding tube schedule?

    blackhundred replied to lhorn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is not something a nurse decides. We just implement the order on this one. Strange question they gave

  20. How serious/lifethreatening is ETOH detox?

    blackhundred replied to klone's topic in Emergency

    I never want to increase the anxiety of family, but in all honesty, we've been getting a TON of ETOH and alcoholic pancreatitis lately. I've personally lost two in the past 6 weeks, and I wish that...

  21. Lost Jehovah's Witness to H/H

    blackhundred posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a newer nurse, less than a year in. My best friend growing up, and the guy that married my sister (same guy), was a JW (best man I've ever known). I had a Pt last week that was a Jehovah's...

  22. are you tougher on foreign nurses?

    blackhundred replied to ItsTheDude's topic in General Nursing

    No one's taking "our" jobs. If "we" offer them, then they're up for grabs,

  23. Lost Jehovah's Witness to H/H

    blackhundred replied to blackhundred's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I just meant to vent, so I don't desire to offend. She was a good lady. I miss

  24. Lost Jehovah's Witness to H/H

    blackhundred replied to blackhundred's topic in General Nursing

    lI can deal, leslie, and thanks for the input. But I'm troubled dealing with the impact to her family. They don't buy the same God. And why would they. Is there a
