  1. Is English required to be an RN?

    danu3 replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Back to the title of this thread "Is English required to be an RN?" That depends. In China, obviously not. :) In the US, it depends where you are. If you are in an area that is 99% Hispanic, then...

  2. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting. I mentioned earlier about the airline industry where they went to a more gender neutral term and there are parallels and similarities between that and nursing in terms of the...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I never watched "Scrubs". Is it worth it? What kind of light does the show put nurses in? I think your brought up two points, one is that it depends on the relationship and context on the...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl::rotfl: Got a question. When it was used in your situation, were the male nurse present? If so, what was his reaction? Guess what was the context in your case? Was it use in an...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. It just dawned on me that my poll is actually not clear. I don't mean the poll to imply there should or should not be a name change so that you have nurse (female) and...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to laugh :chuckle:chuckle But actually that is pretty good, a nursicians. Better than a murse. Oh, did you know "murse" is also slang for "male-purse" in another context? Just found that...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, no problem. Come and blow off steam about this topic any time. Maybe you can mention about this poll and have everyone laugh at it to break the tension at the right moment. I am personally...

  8. Hours in rehab nursing

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thanks, that is very helpful.

  9. What is it really like to be a new graduate nurse????

    danu3 replied to profjanmc's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting that psych and community health nursing is mentioned. Guess I am one of the minority who are actually in these areas. Guess it would be idea if we can rotate through all the areas...

  10. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Now you got me wondering... if a person beat a dead animal, would that be animal abuse according to the current laws?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    You won't believe this, take a look at the following link: http://www.clevelandclinic.org/fhc/staff/physicians.asp?location=Willoughby%20Hills&f=Cardiology It said that Heidi Morrison (a NP)...

  12. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need a picture of someone beating a dead horse... not just a dead hourse:)

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    F G H I J K L M Ok, so we have Furse and Murse. To come up with a generic term, I take the following - (F+M)/2 = I.5 So we either can use "I" or "J". Can't use "I" because it is a...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    I am not familiar with the history of the airline industry, but weren't there a height requirement or something like that too? Ok, this is off topic...

  15. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Socially and culturally it can make a difference depending on the situation. For example, in L/D, a male nurse might not be welcome at all if the patient is from a very traditional culture. When...

  16. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    I fooled around with different names. It is hard to come up with something alternative that is decent! Take a look at the "murse" poll where I tried (that should have been here, sorry). To answer...

  17. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    In my other "murse" poll, someone brought up an interesting point which I think I share with everyone here and see what people think. The interesting point is that in the airline industry, they did...

  18. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... you actually brought up an interesting point not related to this poll. It relates to the other poll on "name change". The interesting point is that the airline industry did make a name...

  19. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    danu3 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I worked on-call in a hospital for a little while and I still remember the first day of orientation, we were introduced to a Nurse Attorny. I forgot what she was talking about but she sort of stick...

  20. Males in Nursing: Improvement or Hindrance?

    danu3 replied to Firedawg03's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... interesting. So it looks like there are some instances where it is not good to introduce oneself as a nurse (from a male point of view). Like the situation mention above, you walk into a...

  21. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Just thought of something... I know I get into trouble when I start thinking... Someone mentioned already that if we do have a name change, it will cost megabucks just to change all the...

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    You know, maybe we should start a new thread in the Break Room or somewhere on "Murse Humor".:)

  23. Murses

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    That is a hard one. I can't come up with anything that even half way respectable. But it does forces me to think about what is the core of nursing? I know this topic has been debated also. The best I...

  24. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm... this could be a new thread in the Break Room like the 3 word game that is going on now. Use the above and we can see what animal and weird terms we ended with... Needs lots of imagination...

  25. New name for the Nursing profession?

    danu3 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    That is true, semantics won't solve all nursing's problems. But it can make a bad situation worse (bad semantics, say we change the label of the profession to something even more divisive) or it can...
