  5. RESUME QUESTION: Do I have to put my prereq GPA + nursing school GPA on my resume???

    Horseshoe replied to 07courtney1993's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The only time I had to put my GPA on anything was for my first job, but that was because it was a competitive critical care internship for new grads. I wouldn't put your GPA. If you graduated with...

  6. I'm a sexless nurse

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean "it doesn't make sense"? Of course it makes sense. Women go to the doctors who have the knowledge base necessary, in whom they have confidence, with whom they feel comfortable....

  8. I'm a sexless nurse

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What is your source for this? Are you basing that on data, or did you just make it up? And WHAT does being open with their bodies "in the name of science" have to do with

  9. I'm a sexless nurse

    Horseshoe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Fifty years ago, women in the US gave birth with almost exclusively male doctors in attendance, who, as we all know, were digitally examining the woman's cervix throughout the birth process. The male...

  11. article on the Obese Pt/Dr Nurse relationship

    Horseshoe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    There is so much societal disgust towards the overweight. Considering the majority of our population has become overweight, it's a curious sentiment. Look at labels and try to find processed foods...

  12. HELP A GUY OUT!!

    Horseshoe replied to ChronicSG's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have had exposure to Oncology, Telemetry, and Neuro (not ER). My vote is telemetry. Not boring at all! You are exposed to everything, with the added cardiac issues as

  13. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    If you are "sure" that it is "not right" to use the names and/or pronouns a transgender person requests to be known by, and you refuse to do so, it is your actions, not your beliefs, that make me...

  14. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking of it in terms of a questionnaire that everyone is filling out on admission, not a verbal question which they might believe is directed specifically to them for the reasons you mention...

  15. article on the Obese Pt/Dr Nurse relationship

    Horseshoe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, she pretty much wants everyone to ignore the whole issue and pretend it's not a problem. She mentions praying that her labs are okay. She hopes against hope that her obesity will not actually...

    Why would that be upsetting or insulting? I check the box for female and she. On to the next

  17. article on the Obese Pt/Dr Nurse relationship

    Horseshoe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I have mixed feelings about this. Body weight and composition is actually more complicated than people realize. It simply is not always about calories in/out. Read the comments to this article and...

  18. Please don't call me Dude

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Has someone said they refer to themselves as Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss? Maybe I missed

  19. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Total strawman. No one has said that one cannot be Christian and a nurse. No one has said a nurse doesn't have a right to their private opinions of their patients and their life choices. What HAS...

  20. Please don't call me Dude

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would never address a patient by an endearment, but my patients are not long term like many of you who work in LTC. Our patients are in and out in only a couple of hours. As a patient, I would NOT...

  21. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    Horseshoe replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Do Parakeet and NeoNatMom understand that there are REAMS of properly conducted research studies which indicate that sexual orientation is biologically determined? In which case, who sexually excites...

  24. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    No you haven't. You've been told to keep your beliefs to yourself when you are at work and not inflict your values of right and wrong on your patients. When you become a patient some day, do you want...

    Horseshoe replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    You took the words right out of my keyboard. :) Parakeet, the patient has NO obligation to change in order to make YOU comfortable. However, as a nurse assigned to a patient who is sick and...
