  1. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Birdbr replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    ________________________ I totally agree with this. Not to seem mean, but I think many females just assume that all guys like them. You were trained to do it and can do it just as well as a female....

  2. CRNA Doctorate in 2015 or 2025?

    Birdbr replied to webstar's topic in Men in Nursing

    Okay... I dislike this whole thing. I mean CRNA's have been doing their jobs with a Master's for how many years. They shouldn't have to get a doctorate in nursing. It's ridiculous... this will...

  4. Nurses as secretaries

    Birdbr replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    phlavyah, i don't think he/she meant to downgrade secretaries. she is basically saying she did not go to school to be an administrative assistant. she went to school to be a nurse... they should...

  5. Med school for experienced CRNA?

    Birdbr replied to SpouseofChicagoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Your wife just needs to think on the bright side. She makes pretty much what an MDA makes, she likes what she does, MDA's have more debt, She didn't go to school as long, CRNA's are becoming more...

  6. Am I overreacting?

    Birdbr replied to annaRNC's topic in General Nursing

    I am in high school, but plan to become a nurse. They as nursing students should've known they'd be working with patients with communicable diseases. To me, those students acted like idiots. I hope...

    Birdbr replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    I am a 17 year old male... I have had this problem since I stopped taking my anxiety medication when I was 15 1/2 years old. It has really embarassed me and has stopped me from enrolling a CNA...

  9. Do ADN's have trouble getting hired now that everyone is getting a BSN

    Birdbr replied to katierinsd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Personally, I think that an ADN is just as capable of doing their job as a BSN... The only big difference is, they don't take as many courses that they may not need in nursing, not that what some of...

    Birdbr replied to Kerrilyst's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In Fenimore, WI... Southwest Technical College has a Direct-Entry Midwife

  11. Inmates as Patients in Hospital

    Birdbr replied to 4cas2's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think that every patient that is in jail or prison should be in restraints, the patient may seem sweet, but in a second they could snap and try to kill you. So I would feel much safer if...

  12. PLEASE HELP!!! so embarassed about sweating!

    Birdbr replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

  14. How are those doctors treating you?

    Birdbr replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I Think that the medical administrators/managers should be more afraid of losing their nurses seeing that there is a shortage of nursing staff. Nurses work just as much as a doctor if not more and...

  15. Guys- what made you want to become a nurse?

    Birdbr replied to glamgalRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but hope to be after high school. I want to become a nurse to help people, the pay, nursing jobs are easy to find, it's never the same, you always learn something and there more...

  16. Gotta Love Parents

    Birdbr replied to helicoptergal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Maybe if hospitals were to text the questions, those discharge papers would get done fast if a teen was filling them

  17. NICU- how much math?

    Birdbr replied to dfike's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am glad I am not the only person who hates math that wants to work in the NICU and now I am not worried about being a nurse because I suck at

  18. from RN to Pharmacy tech

    Birdbr replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    My mom's friend is a pharmacy technician at Walgreens and loves it, but the pay isn't the best. Nursing is a career with many fields, perhaps you would enjoy working in Family Medicine or Obstetrics....

  19. Womens interest in male nurses

    Birdbr replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am 17 and was talking to some people and 2 girls out of a class room laughed because I said I wanted to be neonatal nurse. Obviously they were laughing about a male being a nurse, which I was just...

  20. MSN to DNP?

    Birdbr replied to tnisgrl33's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think this is a great opportunity for nurses, but I also think that hospitals will stop hiring doctors and hire more nurses, I hope that isn't so. I think NP's are great but I also think doctors...

  21. NP vs MD/DO

    Birdbr replied to megamiepona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cisco is incorrect on how an NP works under a physician, they do not. In most states they can practice at their own medical practice or any medical facility. Cisco must be thinking of a Physician's...

  22. How do you feel about "Veterinary Nurse"

    Birdbr replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why you aren't called veterinary nurses, you are a nurse, just with animals... so obviously you wouldn't have a ADN, BSN, MSN, or DNP or apply at a hospital as a nurse. I also think...

  23. Physician assistant versus Nurse practitioner

    Birdbr replied to xng's topic in Nursing Career

    I read that NP's can start their own practice and PA's can't. I personally think nuring is better, but they do basically the same work... they both help people and are valued medical professionals....
