My experiance is that when you tell a Doc that you are going to chart that he said "don't call back" they generally back up and re-evaluate that particular order. I had a urologist who I called at 2230 about an I&O issue on a CBI patient. His res...

I found this to be very amusing! I love my scrubs and I can totally relate (except the hair bun, lol). At my hospital all of the RNs wear a bright red tag attached to our name badges that proudly states RN. When a patient mistakenly calls me doctor, ...

The only Nurses on my unit that use PDA's are the 2 guys. One of the women has one, but she hasn't figured out how to use it for anything but solitaire yet. I have offered to help her with that. Usually when a patient can't figure out how to use t...

Quite frankly, I think that it is a shame that any female has to miss school, or work for that matter (I worked with a CNA who left work early without permission because she had cramps), because of her peroid. There alot of place in Africa that requ...

Each man deal with his emotions in his own way. I was raised by a career military father and crying was not to be tolerated from a man. FORTUNATELY, I have grown past that! When my mother died, I cried, alone and in private, but I cried. When my ...

I would report the offender. Comments like that are way out of line and unacceptable in a professional environment, and it doenst matter if you are straight, gay or bi-sexual. That type of behavior should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

I always try to have a female present when I have to do anything that exposes a female patients genitalia. I always ask my female patients if they would be more comfortable with one of the female nurses doing things like catheter insertion, supposit...

Congratulations! Now the real learning begins!

Wow, perhaps if more states did something like this, more of us guys would find our way into the best profession ever!

I have seen lots of these ones but usually they are covered in tats! LMAO!!!

- You know more about the monthly cycles of your co-workers than yours own spouse/girlfriend! - You know more about your co-workers sex lives than your own! LMAO these are all true!

Okay, not having to wax or shave my nether regions ... more reasons I am glad I am not a woman! Thanks for the laugh!

Ha Ha Ha! Too funny! I am a Packer fan!!!

Personally, I don't mind being treated like one of the "girls". I look at it this way, when they talk about their personal intimate things around me, I figure I have earned a certain level of trust with them. Even my Ex-wife didn't share some of th...

Sorry about all the anger in my last post. This has been the most difficult time of my life and I was having a REALLY bad day with the Ex. I just kind of exploded. Please accept my deepest, heartfelt, sincerest apology. I AM SORRY!!!

I have a question for all of you that is along the lines of this thread. There is a woman whom I have started seeing romanticly. Her insurance requires that she come to the Hospital where I work if she ever needs it. She asked me if she was ever a...

Unless I am mistaken he wasn't talking about just medication induced arousal. He was talking about getting an erection while working with a female patient that he clearly found attractive. The further implication is that women deal with non-medicat...

Thank you from all of us disfunctional, damaged men. Please remember that some of us are that way because of the women in our lives. I was less educated than my wife when we got together. I graduated from Nursing school this past December. I gues...

WOO HOO!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now the real learning begins! Welcome to the club! :welcome: :groupwelcome: :smiley_aa :yelclap: :w00t: :roll

mmmm...wear a tool belt...LOL!!! I have worn a fanny pack, but i don't now. You tell us what is in your purses and we will tell you what is in our fanny packs...lol.

I was a Phlebotomist before becoming an RN too! Often after I finished drawing a nervous patient, they would say I do okay with this if I look away. I would respond, "I tought you were looking! I wasn't, I can't stand the sight of blood!" Glad to...

Try this site: http://malescrubs.com/ They have some decent patterns.

Ben, my experiance is that when these female patients, (usually older women, I don't mean to generalize though), ask for a female, it is often for toileting and or hygenic purposes. I simply go get one of the female staff to assist the patient with ...

Welcome back!!! It is never too late to start. I graduated this past December and passed my boards in February. I just turned 41 this past April! I agree with the comments about going straight for your RN. You can do it.

Are you talking only school related expenses? Otherwise I bought a house during my senoir year!
