  1. Would you recommend OR Nursing?

    MrWarmHearted posted a topic in Operating Room

    Would you recommend OR nursing? How's the future outlook? Do scrub and circulating RNs get paid differently? The reason I'm asking is because I'm considering a switch (I'm a rather new nurse who may...

  2. Corrections/agency or Med Surg/staff?

  10. Question about men in labor/delivery and nursery.

    MrWarmHearted replied to jhyde17's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is coming from a male - a male RN is probably not a good fit for L&D for many reasons - primarily it makes many women (and their significant others) uncomfortable. perhaps try NICU or

    Since you're in nursing school and under the "rules" of your school and particularly your clinical instructor, then you have to abide by them. and show them that you can do it. It's taking a...

  17. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    MrWarmHearted replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    MrWarmHearted replied to tss2507's topic in Men in Nursing

    Since you're a student, you have to abide both by the facility's policy and your school's. With that note, perhaps you can ask your instructor if simply following the (female) RN would suffice as...

  19. Stereotyped...and not sure what I should do

    MrWarmHearted replied to gorjos's topic in Men in Nursing

  20. Do men really have a better shot at finding a job?

    MrWarmHearted replied to mcpheenom's topic in Men in Nursing

    MrWarmHearted replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    it's NOT about being "man enough" - it's about empathy - and most mothers (and probably their husbands too) prefer having females with their OB needs. plus, there's enough perverts in the world - we...
