    Athenas83 replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with your colleagues. In your first semester of medical school you did not learn how to be a nurse. We are taught how to be nursing assistants our first semester of nursing school. So...

    Athenas83 replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree that more men should get into nursing, but I think a patient can chose not to have a male nurse. I choose not to go to a male gynecologist. Most of nursing is very personal. I'm...
