    Mens nursing shoes?

    ixchel replied to BumbleBuddy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not a guy, but I wear guys' merrells in black, non-nursing shoe. Lace-less, slip on, non-absorbent, and very comfortable. (I don't wear the women's variety because they have a lower back.) Eta -...

    ixchel replied to Sanhect1's topic in Nursing Career

    Can scientific types go into nursing?

    ixchel replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    The best nurses I've worked with fit that description perfectly. :) In fact, about 30 seconds off my orientation, a guy crashed on my unit. Everyone but nursing staff kept saying he was just having...

    Can scientific types go into nursing?

    ixchel replied to Young Tangerine's topic in General Nursing

    There can definitely be research in your future as a nurse. What do you think they mean by you having a mindset more like a doctor than a nurse? If it's the same people saying that nursing is all...

    Hey, Tangerine! I never imagined I would be a science guru but sometime in my 20s, I feel in love with science and evidence based practice. I think that there is a misperception regarding acute and...

    Hi, Bigman! Welcome to allnurses. The PVT is a bit of a controversial topic around here since it changed in August. Now that credit card information is required, it becomes riskier. Now, if you put in...

    This seems unreasonable to me. It shouldn't be your responsibility to cover their staffing needs when you've already worked too many hours. I think if I were feeling grumpy enough, I'd tell them as...
