  2. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    plumbtrician replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't know very many gay nurses or student nurses. Most men in the field are straight. The gay guys in my program will make fine nurses

  3. Pierced ears; need advice

    plumbtrician replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Do whatever makes you feel good! The rules at my school state that men shall not have pierced ears, but guys wear earrings without punishment. I am probably going to throw a stud or two in soon. Good...

  4. Nursing students and immaturity

    plumbtrician replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    Exactly! Be direct, be firm and if that doesn't solve the problem utilize the chain of command. The "nail them for sexual harassment" type of thinking is pretty reactionary and infantile. If you deal...

  5. Please listen!!!

    plumbtrician replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best training before nursing school had to be the route that I took. I worked in construction for 14 years as a plumber and electrician. It's almost the same job as nursing. I was a medic

  6. Unrealistic expectations of nurses.

    plumbtrician replied to Can'tdragmeaway's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Like X 1,000,000 I can hold my breath like a........... and then trying to explain why I am panting and sucking air so hard to a coworker. Healthcare

  9. Backpack, watch for nursing program?

    plumbtrician replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Students

    I despise rolling backpacks as much as umbrellas. Rollies help you gain thirty pounds of fat by forcing you to take the elevator. As for the umbrellas, off topic. I use a regular backpack and carry...

  10. Disgusted with nursing career

    plumbtrician replied to Blue4me2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 38, halfway through nursing school, was a paramedic for a year, my two cents: Nursing isn't for everyone, that is part of which makes this such an awesome career. Patient care is a privilege....

  13. New Grads!!! There IS a way to SURVIVE!!

    plumbtrician replied to LadyFree28's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry, I guess I just know too many new grads who whine about not being able to get a job out of school. That is where I was coming from. Sorry for getting off of topic. I am a BIG proponent of...

  14. New Grads!!! There IS a way to SURVIVE!!

    plumbtrician replied to LadyFree28's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New grads living in part of the USA where jobs are difficult to acquire? Life isn't easy, sacrifices must be made. I was living in California and moved to Texas to go to nursing school to avoid the...

  15. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    plumbtrician replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No scrubs in the gym! Period. That's just tacky. I'd recommend some shorts and a ratty

  16. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    plumbtrician replied to fraydar's topic in Male Nursing Students

  17. Most challenging moments in Nursing school

    plumbtrician replied to Onco_NT's topic in General Students

    I find that the most difficult thing is to please the professors. It seems more like a popularity contest than anything else. Some professors have the desire to actually help you rise up in the...

  18. San Jacinto College ADN Spring 2013

    plumbtrician replied to oneclos's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't worry. The first 8 weeks are super easy and chill. You will even have time to watch TV and socialize with your family and play with your kids. The second 8 weeks will kick you butts. Be happy,...

  22. Nursing is not what I thought it would be!

    plumbtrician replied to loheRN's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I checked....CNA wasn't a prerequisite for RN! In my humble opinion, patient care should be a necessity for anyone applying to nursing school. Nursing isn't for everyone, that is one of...

    plumbtrician replied to RNRichi's topic in Emergency

    Keep up the good work. Lift that

  24. You look too young to be a nurse

    plumbtrician replied to SwansonRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Enjoy your youthful looks, they will be sure to fade. I looked 25 until I was 36, and then it all started to go ugly. Blow it off, don't worry about it. In almost every profession it is difficult...
