Ain't equality great! They want it all, but don't ask them to be fair in return. Soon males will be the new minority

There are some real _itches out there. Use college references, and any nurse that you have workrd with. There is such a need for nurses someone will hire you. I have been where you are. Get busy looking for another job. Move on. You can do it! I did,...

Thank you for your infomative reply! I'm sure to have questions later. :)

Divide and conquer. You just responded the way they, management, wanted you to. You are now part of the quagmire that reports anything and everything to management so you can all walk on pins and needles!

Tell it like it is brother! Those same hostile environment laws apply to men too! The females seem to forget that. One good lawsuit with them personally listed as well as the company as defendents will stop the BS! Use a voice activated tape recorder...

I strongly suggest you job shadow in several different areas for a full shift following a particular nurse around all day, so you see everything involved before you make such a commitment.

I have been an LPN working in LTC for almost a year now. I have worked in sales construction, and manufacturing. Nursing has been the toughest job of them all, and I have done some very labor intensive work before. My nursing schedule with Tx's, med ...

I strongly suggest you job shadow, and I mean every minute, three different nurses in three different settings, e.g. hospital med surg, LTC nursing home, redi med, etc. Why? A nurse is responsible for their routine stuff, like meds and Tx's plus if a...

Your advice was quite good! There really is alot of male bashing in the nursing workplace. That being said, your insight, and advice is well received. Tell us some more.

What's the difference between acute dialysis and regular?

I am a male LPN with 1 year experience. I also hold a B.S. in management and two asociates degrees. I want to pursue dialysis work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:)

The equal opportunity and treatment you recieve in the army should be no less than the opportunity and treatment that a male gets. That being said, you are wrong to deny them the opportuity to perform their jobs as nurses. Let's say a male mechanic m...

] You must remember that the good nurse/patient ratiois protect your license and give the patient better care because you actually have time to provide the care. IN LTC any more than 30 residents to one nurse is too much! I work a 50:1 ratio hall and...

I am looking for your type position. I have a marketing degree, and have been an LPN for one year. I previously did outside sales. My question is: What is involved in your assesment of potential new residents, and how long do you spend on one potenti...

You can't. That's why we need good nurse to patient ratios. It's a win/win for both! The state legislature is the only way to go.

I must speak up. Where I work overtime is forbidden. You somehow, (haven't figured out how yet), must get pre-approval for all overtime, quite difficult on the off shifts, since management isin't there. Yet, when you are already sooo busy, and someth...

The lack of an appropriate amount of time allocated to the care of the patients/residents was the root cause of her death. That's a mangement decision, yet I doubt they were wrote up or :angryfire fired for this.

We have to stop and consider the cause or reason some feel compelled to pre-pour. What is the reason? Too many meds for too many people to be passed in too short a time. Who gets blamed if in a rush a med error occurs? The nurse, yet the rush is caus...

Have you considered an assisted living facility? A lady I know who is not in the health field just sold her furniture business to buy and run an AL facility. APPARENTLY YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A NURSE!

What is does NSO stand for? Where are they What are they?

So how do you like the RN program? I'm an LPN from Ivy Tech's Fort Wayne location. I've been out 1 year, and have worked in LTC since graduation. I have since discovered Hospitals won't hire LPNs, and the patient to nurse ratios in LTC have run from ...

Right in front of me one female nurse said to another "Your *** is getting smaller isin't it? Second female nurse said "Yes it is." So I said what if I had said that (male nurse)? Second nurse said "You had better not" Is this freedom of speech thing...

The advertising in specific newspapers that meet specific ethnicity reach goals is required advertising. This is one aspect of affirmative action. The biggest savings found in employee turnover is the ability to raid their retirement funds. A retirem...

I live near Auburn, IN. Where is this hospital? Which one? How far?

Nurses eat their young because of inadequate staffing levels. It's all managements fault due to managements push for profits. If they can make a profit in FL, CA, etc. with staff ratios of 1:6; 1:7, they surely can elsewhere. The unnecessary stress, ...
