  1. Male in a female dominated field.. How bad is it really??

    Lupan replied to AVMadd's topic in Men in Nursing

    Lupan replied to nord11's topic in General Nursing

    The politics mentioned were only small issues and I should have been clear on that. I lived in Roswell and travel there often. Yes it does get hot but "its a dry heat" hahaha. I have to say that from...

  5. Male in a female dominated field.. How bad is it really??

    Lupan replied to AVMadd's topic in Men in Nursing

    I worked in a hospital that had all kinds of issues with the male nurses. I would recieve a fast squeeze from a passing nurse or CNA. If I spent time with a co-worker longer than 15 min all kinds of...

  6. Any CNAs of former CNAs here? I have a question about working in a nursing home

    Lupan replied to karenflrz's topic in General Nursing

    I spent 5 1/2 years on an Alzheimers unit. I agree that it is very close to a daycare center. Remember Murphy's law. If it can happen it will. Everything from eating BM to the resident calling for...

    I have heard some good and some bad. I have friends that worked there and say good things about it but warned me of the in-house politics.

  11. LPN to RN ...Nursing school nightmare

    Lupan replied to SamiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Coming from over 20 years in EMS nursing school was a different world. Luckly I had friends that had done the same thing and gave me pointers on how to survive the constant "pick on the EMT" attitude....

  12. No one wants to hire me as a new grad. how do i get the experience!

    Lupan replied to lulu997RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Lupan replied to Mzjez's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of things to remember!! 1st there are PLENTY of staff positions in NM. BUT beware of the cultural shock. If you are a male nurse you will have less problems in the bigger cities. 2nd Keep an...
