What if you showed up for your mammogram and there were no female techs, only male. When you voiced your concern about wanting a female tech the male tech said" suck it up, you have nothing I haven't seen before." Now you know what it is like...

In the US there are no male mammographers. The way I learned this was to call each state licensing agency that oversees mammography. The ARRT in Minnesota was no help. There were only 34 states that had licensing agencies. The one in Arizona, the ...

People disrespect nurses for manyreasons. From the early 70's toabout the 90's in my opinionmany nurses were evil and dida lot of nasty and disrespectfulthings to patients. Today's nursesare paying for the bad deeds theolder nurses committed.

It's not just male nurses who arediscriminated against,it's malepatients as well

If a hospital has a L&D ward anda mammo dept you can beguaranteed that there are nomales working there. You aregiving your female patients choicesautomatically yet not accommodating your male patients. That is flat out gender discrimination and...

As I see it, it is a right whenI am PAYING for it!!!

My point is male L&D nurses aswell as post-op male nurses arerare. How would you like it if your trip to the mammography clinicwas met by a male who said toyou. " you have nothing I haven'tseen. Funny thing is" there are nomale mammogr...

I have seen male nude foldoutsfrom playgirl magazine coveringthe entire staff bathroom in anintensive care unit. All femalenurse staff. What is wrong withthis picture. What if there were femalenude foldouts from playboymagazine adorning the bathro...

Should we be expected to take itpersonally, I don't, the patienthas that right. But let's reversethe roles for a moment. There areno male mammographers, no malenurses in post op gyn floors andno male nurses in L&D. At leastfrom a statistically po...

Patients did not always act like thisand for the most part, their behavior is to be blamed on theentire medical community.

Personally, I want to see the Joint Commission with more powerto investigate patient complaints.

You said "omg nurses are mean and unprofessional" Welcome tohealthcare.

Maybe she called you this for a reasona) You did something unprofessionalb) You did something inappropriatec) You did something outside the scope of your skill level.

It is a violation of the nurse practice act and if you are found out,the Bon will come down on you hard.

There are many who hate and despise the military. The comment" Since we, as nurses, are goingfor commissioned officers, we aretreated well ( better than enlistedmembers) wherever we go." does not help. It is the actual soldiers, infantry, mechanized,...

Shouldn't all members of the armed forces be treated well or at least respectfully.Thereare 65 mep centers throughout the united states. During the Vietnam war these centerswere called afees. It was commonplace for male nude physicals to be conducted...

Wow, you make a lot of assumptions for being a patient service rep. All patients are entitled to respectful care. Would you be outraged to make a mammography appointment and to be greeted by a male mammographer and a male student. Do you always...

Mammography tech is an on the jobtraining offered to licensed x-raytechs. Male x-ray techs were neveroffered an opportunity to cross train. Currently, there are no malemammo techs in the US. Visit anyurology clinic and the physicianssimply don't staf...

It is a disturbing double standard. You rarely see males in L&D, I havenever seen one. There are no malesworking in mammography, and nomales in post-op gyn floors, yetwhen a male patient needs a urologic procedure or a cath thefemales come out of...

Do you know who Stephen Hawkingis? The most acclaimed scientist since Albert Einstein, yet whileproviding home health care to him, his female nurse divorcedher husband and married herpatient. Sounds like a boundaryviolation to me.

Discriminating against obese nursesis OK, they discriminate againstmale patients every day. Noprivacy for male patients. You seeall female nurses in L&D, post-opgyn and only female techs inmammography. It is discrimination not to offersame g...

I doubt most of these would soundgood if it ended up at the stateBON.

Agree The nurse name needs togo. I once saw porn from playgirlmagazine posted all over thestaff bathroom in an MICU. Nothing"gender neutral" about that. Who would want to be a male patient on that unit. Imagineif you were a female...

I once saw two female nursescath an unconscious malepatient in full view of anotherfemale patient. No attemptwas made to pull the curtain. It's interesting how some staff behave when the patienthas an advocate in the roomand how their behavior quic...
