  1. Tropical Medicine & Nursing?

    MaleRN2B posted a topic in Nursing Career

    At 40 I've finally decided that I'm going to quit my job in 6 months and pursue an accelerated BSN. I've scheduled a visit at the state school about 30 miles from home instead of the larger...

  2. SARS and bird-flu.

    MaleRN2B replied to Dinith88's topic in Infectious Disease

    That's interesting information. Do you remember the swine flu in the 70s? It's another one that can jump species and infect humans.

    I got to do a happy dance and tell some of my co-workers "I told ya so" this morning when it was announced that the ivory-billed woodpecker is not extinct and was confirmed to be living in Arkansas...

  4. What's nursing school like?

    MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I thought about med school too and I think that if you can figure out what role you really want to play in the patient's care, you'll have your answer there. It appears your initial instinct is...

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    There really is a surplus of some animals because we have historically eliminated predators and upset the balance of things. We don't like coyotes, or wolves, or snakes or sharks and the list goes...

    Thanks for sharing. I'm currently an administrator with my state's fish and wildlife agency and we're looking at all the reasons people are giving up hunting and fishing. We have almost allowed a...

    MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the feedback, Pickles. I suppose that whether it's an Asian, man, woman, or Black person coming into the room, you have to place your confidence in their training and skills. A nurse is a...

    Isn't home birth great??? I filmed my best friend's 4th child being born into the world with family and friends waiting to receive him at home. I had watched the videos of her other 3 children being...

  10. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    MaleRN2B replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    I worked in an all female environment for 4 years and it's a fact that men and women are different. The dynamics are very different and as a male I was often stereotyped. With the exception of one...

  12. Male nurses who cook

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was a Peace Corps Volunteer from '95 - '97. It is a wonderful experience. I really miss it but was also glad to come home when I was done. I hadn't seen my family for over 2 years. Most "real"...

  13. SARS and bird-flu.

    MaleRN2B replied to Dinith88's topic in Infectious Disease

    I'm not a nurse but a biologist and my understanding is that avian influenza is the pathogen and SARS is how it presents itself. Apologies if I appear ignorant on the subject but it is of interest to...

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    absolutely you want to use black tea. i'm sure chai was introduced into kenya when the indians came to build the railroads inland from the coast and it probably has local variations around the world...

  15. How long can I wait to begin my practice?

    MaleRN2B replied to lmz's topic in General Nursing

    Motherhood is a noble profession. If your future employer doesn't value that then it's really their loss. Just maintain your certifications.

    MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My name is Marc and I am thinking about nursing as a profession that will allow me to live and work anywhere in the world. My mother is a med/surg nurse and I've always been attracted to the medical...

  17. Male nurses who cook

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I drank a lot of chai with chapati (a fried bread very similar to a tortilla), a queen cake (scones?) or "biscuits" (shortbread or sugar cookies) while living in Kenya. Tea is one of Kenya's major...

  18. I HATE nursing! (long)

    MaleRN2B replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! I'm just preparing to take on nursing as a second career and I'm glad to see this side of it. My thought is that you would not be the first to get a degree and then do something totally...

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hang in there, Mike! I know well what it's like to be a student and the demands it puts on your time. The good news is that it's temporary and May will be here before you know it.

  20. What's nursing school like?

    MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reassurance! I have a BS in biology and am about to begin a couple of prerequisite classes for a second degree BSN program that takes 2 years. Since it's been more than 10 years since...

  21. Male nurses who cook

    MaleRN2B replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I LOVE to eat, therefore I cook. Some of the best cooks I know are men. It's not really about gender. I like to grill with charcoal in my cast iron grill. Sometimes I'll smoke meat using wood...

  22. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    MaleRN2B replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    As a practicing and "devout" Catholic I believe in life from its natural beginning to its natural end. Modern medicine can keep a body alive indefinitely. Obviously, not all my views on this are in...

    MaleRN2B replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I guess it would be more accurate to say that I want a career that will be rewarding and allow me to work anywhere in the world. I don't want to create the impression that travel would be more...

  25. NP education - a rant

    MaleRN2B replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all. I don't know what area I want to specialize in. Only that I think I want to be a nurse. My mother's a med/surg nurse by the way. NP appeals to me because the Peace Corps hires very few RNs...
