    Religion's Place in Nursing

    nursemike replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not entirely sure whether I'm an agnostic. I had a Christian fundamentalist upbringing, but I'm definitely not a fundamentalist any more (primarily, I just can't believe the Bible is 100% literal...

    Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    nursemike replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Speaking your mind is great. Being a ***** is not. One of the "male" traits some posters seem to admire is essentially just knowing when saying the wrong thing will get your teeth knocked down your...

    nursemike replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Kind of a lively thread, eh? I have to admit, I do sometimes buy into the notion that women are catty and men are good-natured dullards, but it ain't necessarily true. The most mentoring, supportive...

    nursemike replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I mentioned my theory that men are more evolved to work collectively on another thread, and I think Monist had a point about the tacit recognition that one could get one's butt kicked tending to...

    Rude Cna To Nurses

    nursemike replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yay for us guys! I wonder if that's because work has pretty much always been a collective activity for men, but traditionally more individual for women? Not that I would begin to claim it's a hard...

    Rude Cna To Nurses

    nursemike replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I like this better than your "whup orifice" post. Sometimes, nurses have an easy shift while I'm getting killed, sometimes it's the other way around. I will always help anyone who needs it, but they...

    Rude Cna To Nurses

    nursemike replied to inna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's The Deal With A 4.0 Gpa?

    nursemike replied to Tx-top nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I think the whole process of getting into nursing school is enough to make you SHOUT. It is hard, but there is a logic to giving the limited spaces available to those most likely to complete...

    I wish I'd have known....B4 nursing school

    nursemike replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    I had no idea how hard it would be--but I'm sort of glad I didn't, because I might have thought better of it. Pharm final Friday and 1st year is in the

    Do you arrest abusive patients?

    nursemike replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    In my work as an orderly, I get used as ad hoc security a lot. I've never seen a patient arrested, but some who should have been. Our hospital isn't very proactive about protecting us, though I've...
