    I plan to become a male nurse.

    Anoetos replied to Clark Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should just become a regular nurse rather than a specifically male one. If you're already male you can concentrate on that part later, why add all the stress and study

    american student nurses and irish student nurses-differences?

    Anoetos replied to butterfly134's topic in General Students

    It sounds like your internship is the equivalent of a nurse residency program, or a nurse tech position as we have it at the hospital I work at. Unfortunately, these are only available for those very...

    Which Specialty Get the Most New Grad Applicants?

    Anoetos replied to Morningdew2112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How can there be that many jobs? Think about it, there may be one mother/baby nurse for every five to ten medsurg nurses (depending on the size of the hospital). Those numbers don't make sense. I'd...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    Anoetos replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sounds like typical conservative hysterical bs to me. "Take overs"? Really? I live in Detroit. Nothing got taken over. This stuff is embarrassing to real

    IV site rotation

    Anoetos replied to BriGuyRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I've never heard of that. It doesn't sound safe. Unless there's new data supporting it, I hope you're tracking bacteremia rates in relation to the

    I don't want a male nurse! - Caption Contest Winner

    Anoetos replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I don't have boobs, so a lot of male doctors don't like to talk to me, especially residents and younger attendings. Also, I am bigger than many of them, so I think I intimidate them. It's odd but all...

    Progressive care to Hospice?

    Anoetos posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I work on a progressive unit on which we care, primarily, for people with pulmonary issues (pneumonia, COPD exacerbations, etc), and we see our share of expirations, as well as a good number of...

    Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    Anoetos replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Gotcha, I was referring to Calabria's comment about CPR possibly altering evidence in a crime

    Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    Anoetos replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am opposed to the idea that people should be permitted to die so that evidence can be preserved. Not a comfy fit for any core nursing

    Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    Anoetos replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've done CPR 5 times, only one made it to the ICU before

    Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    Anoetos replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I wasnt aware that our scope of practice ended when we punched out. Your brother did exactly the right thing, the police being "in charge" notwithstanding. If someone needs lifesaving care, we are...

    I know that in many cases, were it not for my superb translating skills, many of my patients would have no idea what is wrong with

    Better living--and working--through chemistry.

    Exact same story here, even down to the same SSRI, it's made all the difference in the

    Male catheters

    Anoetos replied to libran1984's topic in Men in Nursing

    Generally (but not always) the awkwardness is unidirectional with women having a problem with males providing care, or with female care providers having issues doing male intimate care. As a rule, I...

    How many tries do you get?

    Anoetos replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    My school was, fail and you're out of your cohort and you have to take it all over again the next time it's offered, usually next year. Meanwhile, you're not permitted to progress and are,...

    From Cop to Nurse

    Anoetos replied to blueline's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Do it. There are many obvious corollaries between nursing and police work, the chief of which is that both professions see people at their worst and are generally unfazed by the sight. You'd be an...

    What shoes brand is good?

    Anoetos replied to ctbui's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Love my New Balance, an American brand that seems to specialize in wide sizes. Reasonably priced as well. General rule of thumb: the higher the model number, the higher the quality and price, but I...

    Could someone of average IQ become an ADN nurse?

    Anoetos replied to Weber's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Also, a person can have an entirely average IQ and be a superb physician. People think doctors have to be smart, and most probably are, but you don't have to be super smart to be one. I know a few who...

    Could someone of average IQ become an ADN nurse?

    Anoetos replied to Weber's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, no, intelligence isn't "relative". It's quantifiable according to an objective standard. I suspect that the only people who insist that it's "relative" are those who are insecure about their...

    antihypertensive advice.

    Anoetos replied to nextdoorguy's topic in Patient Medications

    It really depends on the med. Some meds are more "rescue" than others and some have other effects that have to be taken into account. Beta-Blockers are a prime example, their inotropic and...

    Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Anoetos replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's probably also worth pointing out that physicians go to school for much longer than we do and bear a larger responsibility with regard to patient outcomes. A slow and diligently managed...

    Anoetos replied to shasaynee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And by the same token, I know a LOT of nurses who did very well in school who went on to become excellent care providers. In fact, it may be that the majority of excellent students go on to become...
