   BSNGUY replied to dcs9286's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I can tell you that in my experience, it took me five years to "adapt" to nursing. They didn't teach me in nursing school how stressful and awful nursing can be, esp. in med/surg. We had no education...

   BSNGUY replied to alcrab01's topic in Nursing Humor

   I can't believe this came up! When I was a CNA in a nursing home, I had a favorite patient of mine with end-stage Parkinson's disease. She could not move anything and I had to feed her with a syringe....

3. doctors treatment of nurses??

   BSNGUY replied to nursejllrn's topic in General Nursing

   Most doctors I've dealt with are great. But,now that I'm in my 40's and have been doing some form of nursing for over 20 years, if they are rude or mean, I don't put up with it. I don't care who they...

4. some younger male nurses.....

   BSNGUY replied to junebride's topic in Men in Nursing

   I've never noticed that. I did read somewhere once that the "millineials", or the younger generation, has a much different work ethic. That is generalizing though. Since I'm the only male nurse on my...

5. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

   BSNGUY replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

   Sounds like we worked at a similar place. Another fond memory is seeing two young female pica residents "sharing" their "kotex" pads. By sharing I mean eating. Then there is the guy with a colostomy...

6. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

   BSNGUY replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

   When I was working med/surg I had a coworker who had a patient with an NG tube. The cannister got full and she went to change it. If you don't push down and secure the top, it can be loose. Um,...

7. RN w/ BSN starting salary

   BSNGUY replied to CTGuy's topic in First Year After Licensure

   In my experience, there is no difference in the pay between the ADN, BSN, or even the MSN. I believe any nurse who gets more education should get paid more. It's one of the strange things about our...

8. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

   BSNGUY replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   I needed to find work out of high school in the mid 1980's. I had no education and no real idea about what I wanted to do. I was medically inclined, but poor and didn't have resources or the high...

    I'm an RN to BSN nursing student. For my senior project, I'm working with a nurse educator and we are trying to find information on part time ADN nursing programs. We are interested in knowing if...

11. Has anyone here ever put a doctor in their place?

    BSNGUY replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I should add, I wrote that "MD notified, no new orders" after calling. He then did his storming into the unit and ordered the 10 mg of Lasix and left, WITHOUT charting anything. I wonder how...

12. Has anyone here ever put a doctor in their place?

    BSNGUY replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    I was working in med/surg and had a patient with a long history of CHF. She measured her ankles daily, well her daughter did, anyway. She called me in the room one day and said she was getting more...
