    Klinger - The man, the myth, the legend

    Thunderwolf replied to zaggar's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thunderwolf replied to Rivs's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dialog is a good thing, folks. Trauma brings into the discussion that myths/stereotypes are equally present for women in the field as it is for men. When the myths/stereotypes are acted upon as...

    Male Nursing Forum Reminder

    Thunderwolf replied to Brian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks Roy for the post. As this forum has shown, a man's perspective of his nursing profession is just as valid as a woman's perspective. Both sides grow from the dialog. Without dialog, we are only...

    Nursing Isn't our place?

    Thunderwolf replied to StarOcean318's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Most probably David is that you ran across a couple burned out nurses. It happens. Nursing can be a tough field, but it is also rewarding. But pal, thank God, there are more nurses who do care, do...

    I usually start off the first 15 mins at 50ml/hr. If pt tolerates and is fairly young, I bump it up to 125ml/hr. If elderly or has heart condition, I bump it up to 100. I listen to their lung...

    Developing Speed

    Totally agree, Tony. Speed should not be viewed as working faster...an invite for making mistakes. Speed needs to be viewed as a process of "Flow". We get this by observing other nurses "flowing"...
