  1. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Cammer replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally I hate the term murse. I think it's childish and ridiculous and is an unnecessary label. I do kinda like the term XY-RN though.

  2. Men in Nursing Historical Timeline

    Cammer replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    Despite the good that Florence did for the nursing profession, along with it came some things that were not-so-good. For example, the belief and subsequent stereotyping of nurses as female and a...

  3. Looking for an online DNP program.

    Cammer replied to Cammer's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the input. I've found a lot of online resources for the various DNP programs. It seems there are a lot of variations from program to program. There is a significant amount of controversy...

    Cammer replied to Cammer's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the tip. I live in the Tampa bay area so South 'Bama might not be too bad if I have to visit the campus once in a while. I'll have to check on

  5. starting graduate school next week!

    Cammer replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Something to keep in mind with an MSN with a specialty in Education is that after graduation you won't have any more clinical qualifications than you do now. If you get your MSN with a specialty in...

    Cammer replied to whitedoginwi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm currently enrolled in South University's MSN ARNP program. They also offer an MSN Educator program. It is 100% online. I'm very happy with them. They are VERY organized and the follow up is...

  7. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    Cammer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No problem. But if I remember correctly, that was one of the arguments used by close-minded, chauvinistic men back in the 60s and 70s when we were all trying to get past the general terms "fireman,"...

  8. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    Cammer replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    You and I have no difference of opinion here. In fact, you seem to have thought this through a little further than I have. Never have I heard the term "critical feeling." I like that a lot. After...

  9. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    Cammer replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It is time we should move past this gender specific stuff. We are no longer living in the

  10. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    Cammer replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    I used to not believe that and I used to think privately that it was just "sour grapes" from someone not getting his way, but I have seen it and experienced it

  11. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    Cammer replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nursemike - I just re-read your statement here and I find it to be remarkable insightful. Thank you for posting that. I have found that men and women are very much the same from the start. I believe...

  13. Those who can't.....teach?

    Cammer replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think that you necessarily need CNA experience, but you at least must have significant experience in nursing. Also, most educational programs require at least an associate's or baccalaureate...

  14. Those who can't.....teach?

    Cammer replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Nursing Career

    As a teacher I find that to be very glib and misleading statement. It is misleading because you seem to say that those who are incompetent to practice go into teaching. It is glib because it is not...

  15. Can family members work at the same unit?

    Cammer replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    stories like this are exactly why it is a very bad idea to mix supervisors with family. it doesn't matter if the stories are true or not, the negative gossip that stems from these situations is...

  16. Can family members work at the same unit?

    Cammer replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    On our unit we have a couple of family units. One "married" same sex couple where one is an RN and the other is the PCT, and the other where the mother is an RN and the son is a unit secretary while...

  17. What's it like working as a male nurse?

    Cammer replied to Gottago's topic in Men in Nursing

    It doesn't happen often, but there have been some shifts that I have worked where the only female in the department was the manager. And the cattyness? It is normally confined to just a few specific...

  18. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    Cammer replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    I completely disagree with this. It sounds to me like your cop training came first and it is at odds with your nurse

  19. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    Cammer replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow... I can't believe some of the statements I've read here. There have been some really wonderful insights passed on, and then there have been some remarkably insensitive ones as well. I had to...
