    Think about it...a 5 dollar pay raise, shift differential, plus less travel time/gas money...maybe your husband can quit his job...or at least cut back on hours. I'm sure there is something you can...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    Lev replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I don't think you're crazy or non professional. You are male and when you are standing in front of a lady parts things go off. Because it's hard for you to focus on your primary task which...

    New grads in the ER

    Patients hitting on nurses

    Lev replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. I was questioning what would happen if they played along with this and wanted to know how many kids I had or what type of guy my "husband" is. Some men take pleasure in seeing women squirm....

    My life story... What can I do?

    Lev replied to xNurseWannaBx's topic in Nursing Career

    You can't get an LPN job without an LPN license which means you have to pass the NCLEX-PN. I think you should apply for a full time CNA hospital job and use tuition reimbursement to pay for an LPN...

    Respect from patients as a Registered Nurse?

    Lev replied to tiamaria123's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ER as well. From your typical not drunk/high/psych patient I would say that nurses are respected most of the time. Of course there are always your special cases. There are rude people...
