  1. Need male nursing slogans.

    jb2u replied to Dynasty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    this would be expensive to screen print, but i'd like to have a shirt like this: on the FRONT is a guy laughing at this other guy wearing scrubs and the caption says "yes i'm a male nurse. at work i...

  2. CNA licensing authority?

    jb2u replied to RC1's topic in General Nursing

    it is my understanding that a cna can lose their certification for things such as pt endangerment/abandonment. i hope you can resolve this issue and i agree 100% that this person needs to find another...

  4. Is WI racially diverse and a good place to live?

    jb2u replied to Sabrina_HI's topic in General Nursing

    racial slurs should NEVER be said. some people have small minds and i understand that. i always will tell someone that they shouldn't say things such as the infamous N word even if someone who is...

  5. Starting in Aug. 06

    jb2u replied to angel_blue_rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    first congrats on the acceptance. i'd say try to relax before school starts (that's my advice). remember that getting in is the first step...staying in is the next. i was extremely happy when i got my...

  7. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    jb2u replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    krankenschwester comes from the words krank - to be sick and schwester - sister.....do you really want to be a sick sister! it may sound tough when you don't know what it is, but i'd rather be called...

  8. Is WI racially diverse and a good place to live?

    jb2u replied to Sabrina_HI's topic in General Nursing

    first, i really like your saying. second, i don't believe for a minute that WI is a racist state. most of it is the way people perceive things. for example, a co-worker of mine (a cna who is black)...

  9. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    jb2u replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    actually, i agree with roy fokker on this....we DON'T do this with race/gender....yes, we do point out that halle berry is the first a.a. female to win the oscar, but we don't ref. her every time as...

  10. Is WI racially diverse and a good place to live?

    jb2u replied to Sabrina_HI's topic in General Nursing

  12. Looking for guidance :)

    jb2u replied to miachris's topic in General Nursing

    because of the HUGE difference between cna and lpn i don't think there is a such thing as a cna to lpn online. there are only a few things that a lpn can't do that a rn can so they are similar, but a...

  13. Interview Fri for CNA in Med/Surg advice please

    jb2u replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    i would think the fact that you are certified and plan on going to nursing school would be enough, but some other things would be... 1. dress appropriately. 2. smile 3. let them know how excited you...

  14. Can I take a "NON-Smoking" break please?

    jb2u replied to Luvbuble's topic in General Nursing

    first of all, yes it is unfair. second, i am fortunate to go to a nursing school that does not allow students to smoke even on their break during clinicals. i agree 100%. if i can't wear cologne...

  16. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    jb2u replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    i am a little confused. you said that you were told that "you do not qualify", but you are upset that they didn't accept you for the internship? you said that they seemed interested, looked you right...

  17. Just wondering what kind of pay rate to expect

    jb2u replied to Enkara's topic in Georgia Nursing

    everyone wants to know how much to expect and i understand that; however, my suggestion to all nursing students, like myself, is to figure out what you feel your education and skills are worth! what...

  18. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    jb2u replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    as i stated in previous post..i know that nurses are busy, but so are the cna's. and i also know that emergencies come up that can't be delegated (because it requires a license) and for the cna,...

  19. Cna's Hired At 50.

    jb2u replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think age should hold you back and if you ever need a hand transfering a pt bed to chair or whatever just find another aide or the pt's nurse. to me a positive cna understands clearly that...

  21. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like life is looking up for you. don't let others bring you down! everyone does not "start out at the bottom" so it's hard for some to understand that everyone on the "bottom" is not there by...

  23. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    jb2u replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    i think it is VERY important that nurses are not in awe of doctors. nurses are the pt advocates! it's hard to advocate when you are scared of the doctors. are you not going to question his high dose...

    jb2u replied to RNshark's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i have an ultrascope with my name engraved on it. it works great and is one of a kind. my adult head is a bass fish jumping out of the water and my pedi head is a monkey holding a banana (bought from...

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Men in Nursing
