It is possible that the new grad never even had the opportunity to place a patient on a bed pan while in school. Some of the nursing schools in my state have a difficult time placing students into clinical slots, even with the bare minimum hours requ...

I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! I know some male nurses who use the term murse in a derogatory way just for kicks.

I believe a lot of the whining comes from the principle of it. "It' being the various arguments.

Where do male nurses get paid more than females? Gender doesn't even come into play if we are talking about floor nursing. I do; however, know some male nurses who get paid a lot to do non-clinical nursing work.

Popularity wins. Its just reality. A suit may unexpectedly act as a deterrent. If you look better without the jacket that you have, go with a shirt and tie. If you look like the "dork who wore the suit to the interview", it may not score extra point...

I don't even know what the big deal is. Males are the ones who have the burden of being placed in an embarrassing situation; not the females. Female gossip is brutal regarding male counterparts. When it comes to female parts, there isn't anything ...

I fail to see why it is even an issue if another student is using the computer or cell phone. If you aren't participating in what you believe is a distraction, then why would it even be such a bother to you. The use of computers is what kept my cla...

You may have not been accepted for various reasons because of you already have 3 degrees. An EMT license may be more relevant to the career path he may choose and this may have been a deciding factor.

Being a male applicant has no bearing at my school. It makes no difference what gender or race an applicant is despite the contrary belief.

I wear nothing underneath.

Yeah me too but I also feel like a douche when a women gives me a weird look for it. I can't help it. Either I'm one helluva creepy fella or she is an Amazonian warrior.

I presume some of us are just too tired to delve further into the issues. I've met good and bad nurses from MWC. Stay away from there!!!

ditto

Sounds like another case of the few ruining it for all and causing more nonsense in the work place.

I hear the same time and time again. Its known to stay away from our local HCA hospital where a veteran nurse = > 4 years of experience from the same hospital.

I've also been wondering the same thing since the private loan market has dried up for so many for the time being.

"disorganization and lack of help from the professors." Um...Isn't that pretty much any nursing school? I haven't heard any complaints from OU grads that I haven't heard elsewhere.

I'm always skeptical when someone tells me somebody said something about me. I was actually defending the intelligence of my philosophy prof and stated that she was a graduate from two prestigious universities. Somehow she got wind that I called her ...

Thats what Edgar Cayce believed along with many others before him with similar talents. He has such a strong psychic energy that when I see his picture, I feel as though he is in my presence somehow. Ok, not really. http://images.allnurses.com/smilie...

On a lighter note, I've called the outcome of national football championship games a couple of times. I don't follow football but I just had a random gut feeling. What would be the purpose of God enacting these premonitions? There are a number of ph...

I've been using my iPhone to record and writing notes on pp. I inform my profs that I'm using it to record. Some profs don't realize what I'm doing with my phone out on the table.

hah! I typed a bunch of stuff but deleted it. In short, pretty much what Goingthere said.

For $200 and $5 a notebook, it better be magical.
