Hindrance to professional growth
When it comes to trauma pt where I've work the male nurses don't leave if we have to undress or cath them unless the pt requests. And then if they can request for them to leave means it really doesn't need to be done. I get the male nurses to do my male pt in exchange I cath and do pelvic exams for them. Believe me I've done plenty of these you don't want to be down there. My male counterparts do go in rooms and help with cleaning PTs and if the pt says something I just them know that they are a nurse or tech and they are trained they same way I am. This usually easies their concerns.

which route to take to be an ER nurse? please help
I'm an ER nurse with my ASN. Most trauma centers prefer that you have EMT schooling and just different certificates TNCC, CEN and so further. I don't work at a trauma center but I do see traumas and we have trauma rooms. I have my TNCC and soon will have ENCP and CEN. I am hoping to go back for BSN but that's not for the ER it's for me.
