  1. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, I'm glad to hear that they are complaining. I worked with a few guys once (residents, not nurses) who I'm sure would have offered their services. IMO, TOTALLY unprofessional on both

  2. Baltimore worth a visit?

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm getting ready for a five day trip to dc and was wondering if it's worth it to go up to baltimore. I've never been before and all I know about it that's where STC and John's Hopkins are. I've got...

  4. Dress code

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What about jewelry? Rings, watches etc. Also, I know we've just had a declaration that fake nails can't be worn in the hospital. I'm a guy, so I don't care, but a lot of my female colleagues are...

  5. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm glad to hear that both are treated equally. As I said, I think it's unprofessional, but other than that, not a big deal. And this last incident was a little more than just someone calling a...

  7. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, it doesn't bother me. I could care less. However, I do know of people who have been fired for that kind of talk. I don't think that kind of talk belongs in the workplace, but I don't think...

  8. CRNA Confusion

    NeuroNP replied to ksparkman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If this is true, then you won't make it in medical school or CRNA school either. Both are very demanding when it comes to science. I haven't gone to CRNA school yet, but I've been told by more than...

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the info! I had planned on trying to stay in a suburb and ride the metro in. I figured that would be a lot cheaper. I was just wondering which suburbs are good and which aren't. Thanks...

  10. Off topic- Places to stay in DC area

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Everyone, OK, so this isn't nursing related, but I figured this would be a good place to get input. I'm getting ready to take a quick (4 day) vacation to the DC area in a few weeks and I'm having a...

  13. The perfect OR

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Operating Room

    What would your ideal be in an OR? If you could design the room and $$ was no object, what would you include? What types of monitoring equipment do you use in the OR? (I mean, specific brands/models,...

  14. Future of Anesthesia

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    With all the advancements in minimally invasive surgery and non surgical interventions, what do you think the future holds for anesthesia? Say in the next 10 years or so? Will we see more regional...

  15. Future of Anesthesia

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So far, there's been several folks post that the future looks good. Maybe I didn't explain myslef well in the OP. I don't doubt that future looks good for CRNAs, I'm not at all suggesting that the...

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Anyone use Treo Smartphones, Blackberries or other similar devices to replace Palm Pilots and pagers in their group? I was wondering if any groups/departments have invested in buying products like...

  17. Do you ever get called, 'Doctor'?

    NeuroNP replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I actually got fired from an ER job once for "impersonating a doctor" because many of the patients assumed I was one. The manager actually TOLD me that it was because I was a man! It seems that...

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Cardiac

    A friend of mine told me today that her father-in-law was having a pacermaker implanted and that she talked to the anesthesiologist before he went to the OR. Now, a few years back, I worked on a...

  19. Pacer Placement

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Cardiac

    You didn't bore me at all! It does help. I'm still confused as to why this Cardiologist would have a surgeon do it in the OR when he has lots of partners who regularly implant these things in the...

  20. VCU's Critical Care certificate

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was looking at VCU's School of Nursing Site and saw that they have a program that offers a pre-bachelors certificate in Critical Care. It's a few classes in critical care designed for an RN...

    NeuroNP replied to MilwaukeeMike's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OK, I have a question. This is not meant to add fuel to the fire that already exists, so if you can't give me a straight and honest answer to a serious question, don't bother replying. I've been...

  24. Sedation by non-anesthesia personel

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Along similar lines as the recent discussion about RNs pushing certain drugs for sedation, how do you feel about the rules which allow non-anesthesia physicians to push these drugs if RNs can't? For...

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
