1. ICU and New Grads!

   jasonglh replied to Jenny12's topic in General Nursing

   I started with a group of new grads in ICU with no problems. I have seen nurses with that magic year of med/surg come to ICU and fall on their face. It all depends on the RN. ICU is a completely...

   Started with 13 guys out of 53 students. I'm not really sure whats left

3. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

   jasonglh replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

   You know I thought I was pretty secure about the whole thing but I suppose I usually tell people I am in RN school not nursing school. Part of that though would be to differentiate between LPN and...

4. Rather odd question

   jasonglh replied to FrostyLight's topic in Men in Nursing

   Wow the panty police. In this day and age of lawsuits that would be instructor career suicide I would think. Its not like if someone was wearing colored underwear they couldnt tell without making...

6. Do Male Nursing Students Get It Easier Than Female?

   jasonglh replied to mrsmariangie's topic in Male Nursing Students

   I wouldnt say I get cut any slack but to some of the "girls" it might seem that way. My wife graduated last May so the instructors all knew who I was coming in hearing greatly exagerated stories of...

7. Considering career move to nursing

   jasonglh replied to Fireguy's topic in Men in Nursing

   Are you on any work restrictions now? I was an EMT for for 7 years before injuring my back (3 herniated disc). I was advised by my MD to get out of EMS and put on a 50lb weight restriction for my...

8. Dopplers on your crash cart?

   jasonglh replied to Mary MSN RN's topic in MICU, SICU

   Strange I would stumble on this thread today. We had 2 codes today both Pt's in PEA. I never really thought about putting one on a crash cart before. The doc asked for a doppler on one but not the...

9. Male RN's in demand ?

   jasonglh replied to roxburin's topic in Male Nursing Students

   It would seem some schools are going out of their way to get them into the program. My class started with 13 men out of 52 students which was a record. It would seem that there may be an advantage...

10. Anybody in the Army Reserve Nurse Corps?

    jasonglh replied to jasonglh's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the reply. I have pretty much absorbed all the info the Army has put out there on the subject on the net. Really more looking for the input of someone who has been through it or is in...

    jasonglh posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have read all the threads on this forum and have asked around other forums looking for anyone in the Army Reserve Nurse Corp. When I get my ADN next May I am thinking about enlisting and would like...

12. Required to wear girly scrubs

    jasonglh replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Our hospital recently changed the uniform policy because people couldnt tell who is who. Well its a no brainer that most people are stupid and they still cant tell who is who. RN's and LPN's wear...

13. Required to wear girly scrubs

    jasonglh replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm kind of suprised that they would have you wear your scrubs from home in the NICU. Most of the hospitals here have you wear their surgical scrubs. White sounds better than lavender to me. I'm a...

14. Male nurses who cook

    jasonglh replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't cook I grill. I have a Holland grill and you can cook anything on that. I like my smoker also but thats just for special occasions. When I was 18 I moved into my grandparents cabin by the...

15. Rn to EMT-P

    jasonglh replied to emergencyrmnurse's topic in Emergency

    Depends on why you want to get your Paramedic. If you want to do it on the side or do some flight nursing I say sure. But if you are an RN I do not suggest EMS as a long term career choice. Its...
