I was not trying to force a stereotype on the nursing profession as a whole, but I do feel like the "older" and more seasoned nurses are not as forgiving as the new (few years in) nurses are... I think that maybe some of the people need to remember j...

@Woodenpug I documented the assessment and pain interventions and urine output in the chart. I also verbally told the nurses and my nursing instructors. I did not know that the patient had died until about 5 days later when the actual instructor o...

I completely agree with the saying... as a new nurse/nursing student, I have been treated like an idiot by "old" nurses. Not applying this to every nurse that I have worked with as a student or new grad, but there are definitely those who will throw ...

Mikey I completely understand what you are saying. I am just looking for some way to get manager to consider me for a position. I had an interview at the ED I work for and the manager pretty much told me that none of that would replace experience. ...

I have recently graduated and still trying to find that first job. I am still working for 8.00/hr and need a job bad... A nurse that works with me in the ER told me that she would suggest taking the TNCC or the CEN. She told me that as a new grad a ...

The camel toe (or as my Canadian friend calls it moose knuckles lol) is a problem I find a lot of nurses are having (not just female). Also to the poster who said that men must design scrubs you obviously are not a male! Scrubs are most definitely d...

not just in your area BELIEVE me! We have the same problem in my area (TN, AL, MS) area!

I was an education major for 2 years and HATED IT! The summer after I was accepted into the program my great-grandmother (who I was really close to) became ill and needed someone to stay with her around the clock. I moved in and began caring for her;...

There are a few nurses in the ER I work in that are of the male persuasion including myself (even though I am not working as a nurse). A couple of the nurses and myself decided to put together a calendar of the nurses that work in our department and...

I don't have a problem being called a male nurse. If anything is to be said for male nurses it is that we have to work real freakin hard to perform our jobs constantly swimming in a pool of estrogen. I mean if you think working on a floor that emplo...

I also like to just wear scrub bottoms and throw on a solid colored polo over the top! Management doesn't really mind and it looks nice for work and then whatever after!

a lepper, manwhore, male stripper, a mortician, etc... I think all of those get less strange looks than we do when we tell someone our profession! My parents flipped when I told them I was going to nursing school! They said WHY? I mean really, if I w...

Ok so after reading 4 pages of these my ribs are killing me... I have 3 stories both from before my nursing days but are notable... I was a tech in the ER for a couple of years while in nursing school this gentleman came in and stated that he had som...

Seriously liked that! I have probably 50 applications open right now... no reply.. $32,000 student loans coming at me like a ton of bricks. NO NEW GRADS (this is what I keep seeing on job descriptions). I am SICK to death of hearing nursing shortag...

Brown Littman Cardiology III... everyone knows my stethoscope.. 2 years old still goin strong.. also have my initials engraved on the rubber tubing.

Where I am from men and women have name, RN and if you have a BSN then it says BSN after. I am like the poster earlier said, a MURSE which is a joke amongst several of the male nurses at the hospital I work for. We all take it in stride because witho...
