  1. What would I do?

    tbrd450 posted a topic in Correctional

    I just watched the surveillance video of the savage, brutal, unjustified, cowardly beating death of inmate Jessie Lee Williams on YouTube. A gang of cowardly, badged thugs brutalized and tortued the...

  2. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    "But my perception of what happened in the 70's is that a lot of young women coming up in the late 60's were open to knew ways of thinking of themselves and created a climate that forced courts and...

  3. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Today's typical young male who refuses to seriously consider any job collectively deemed "woman's work" isn't likely rejecting it because it is presumed easy. It is not the complexity of it that makes...

  4. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    YES!... very well stated. I almost entirely agree with everything you wrote. I, too, find it difficult to swallow -- the basic notion that we are simply getting what we deserve. Granted, nobody has...

  5. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    "If true, than who has "the stronger intuitive knowledge" of male anatomy? Male doctors, right? What are the implications of that when it comes to bedside nursing?" "I suppose that would entirely...

  6. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    "Also consider, that in some cases, that preference might stem from the cultural hypersensitivity women have garnered from a history of sexual objectification, exploitation, shaming, and brutalization...

  7. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    "I hardly think that in general, men face fierce cultural opposition from women (their mothers included) when they decide to become nurses. With women, more so than with men, there is a greater...

  8. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but cringe when people place the "crisis" situation at the feet of men, exclusively. It actually is somewhat of a condescending contention toward all women. It sort of minimizes their...

  9. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Men are afraid of doing "woman's work." YES. Absolutely. Everyone acknoweldges that. Now, let's go a step further. WHY? Why is it so? To change the grand collective perception that doing "woman's...

  10. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    hee, hee. yep, that's me - I likely have more issues than Time magazine! But, my friend, as M. Scott Peck once wrote, it is the unwise man who claims not to. Or wait... maybe that was from a Woody...

  11. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    It is simply about keeping things real. There is genuine altrusitic reward in doing so. While "winning allies" may not always appear likely at first, I've come to realize that people tend to know...

  12. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Re: "When a man comes of age...." Yes, men and women coming of age should define themselves in their own terms; and they should do so seriously for the benefit of the next generation. For a young man,...

  13. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    YES!... This dude is dead on accurate, in Tbrd's assessment. He wrote: "Nor is this about trying to argue that men should be regarded as victims. I detest the whole idea of competing to be victims....

  14. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Triquee, Good points. I mostly agree. I differ a little from what I think is your understanding and contention that this sort of predicament men find themselves in now in this evolutionary snapshot in...

  15. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    It is true that while the barriers to women entering traditionally male fields appeared more direct and overt, the barriers now preventing men from entering traditionally female fields are definitely...

  16. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

    tbrd450 replied to MMurse's topic in Correctional

    Thank you for the compliment. However, nothing I have written here hasn't already been written/said. The slippery slope has been well researched and studied. There are few things in this world that...

  17. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    tbrd450 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    True, true.... and more true. Requesting a female be present was as much about protecting the medical professional as it was about protecting the female patient. Why? Because society has not been...

  18. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    tbrd450 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is good to hear that this is often not an issue. The fact remains, however, that healthcare choices are gender based to some extent. Ideally, a nurse is viewed as a nurse. It sounds like most...

  19. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

    tbrd450 replied to MMurse's topic in Correctional

    What is it like to be a nurse in a prison? It is highly autonomous. Your patients' health is in your hands. They have no second opinion. You will not have to worry about your patients' families. You...

  20. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    One way that researchers conclude whether or not outreach and recruitment is working or not (in any field) is to look at the results. That is often how policies designed to bring gender balance to...

  21. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    I just happen to think that there hasn't been any real major push to recruit males to nursing schools. There hasn't been any real effort to display/project the profession as one potentially appealing...

  22. The End of Men

    tbrd450 replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent Point! The "face" of public relations is so often female for a reason. But before I comment on that, there is a separate issue here. That issue is what appears to be a double standard in...

  23. Can a nurse be part of the Special Operations and Response Team (SORT)?

    tbrd450 replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

    Exactly. The healing role is different than the custody role. Someone inside the facility has to treat the inmates' medical conditions from a perspective of advocacy, albeit, limited and narrowly...

  24. The Power of Words

    tbrd450 posted a topic in Correctional

    The paraplegic inmate was "relocated to the floor," according to the official statement from the sheriff's office (http://www.tampabay.com/components/video/?bctid=47948381001). Interesting way to...

  25. What do you do when the CO's won't take action?

    tbrd450 replied to katkonk's topic in Correctional

    Yes, Katkonk, many people incarcerated are murderers and rapists. And, for what it is worth, it is also a fact that the overwhelming vast majority of all incarcerated Americans never murdered anyone...
