    Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    Thunderwolf replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    Do you complain and nothing is ever done about it?

    Thunderwolf replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    It just goes to show...nurse morale is first and last hit by the action/non-action and attitude of management. If you got great management, things go very well. Communication is open. Ideas are...

    How do you get it through nurses heads that we MUST be patient advocates?

    Yes, I agree too...what a fiesty bunch. I brought up the nurse-nun issue because that is a historical fact which did shape how and what a nurse looked like and dressed. Over the years, the habit gave...

    Thunderwolf replied to pghfoxfan's topic in General Nursing
