  1. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    fakenurse replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot stop laughing at this post

  2. Vanderbilt Direct Entry MSN 2023

    fakenurse replied to AlexiaPsychRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I can't decide if it's worse that they told us the date decisions will be out, or if it would be preferable to anxiously and obsessively check the website

  3. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I went into nursing because I love science and medicine, and thought working with like-minded people to deliver high-quality care sounded like a great job. Since entering the profession, however, I've...

  4. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Early last week we discussed the mistrust of intelligence and education in nursing. One or two nurses suggested that perhaps the frustration stemmed from some sort of "shame" of being in a caring...

  5. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think I've been under the assumption that as a society, we've mostly moved past assuming a man's sexual orientation based on his career. Sounds like it's still a major

  6. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for sharing, Qedy. There is clearly a lot of work to be done here. Your voice is so important in this issue; we need stories like yours to be heard publicly. Even just searching this website...

  7. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry, I don't know what an "actual female" or a ""female""

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Altra: I was sarcastically paraphrasing the commenter who suggested this

  9. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Also, I have no idea what a "100% female"

  10. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think you missed the point

  11. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry, what I meant to say is that our culture assigns these values to women, and therefore indirectly to nurses. I'd love to hear your experiences- whether you're cisgender female or male or part of...

  12. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sure most of us would agree that these words are not accurate descriptors of our job. The issue is that laypeople often ascribe these characteristics to nurses, and it's problematic for women in...

  13. Off the wall question about NPs

    fakenurse replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Excellent question. Allnurses is consistently clogged with "I passed NCLEX, thanks to the lord almighty Jesus Christ our savior! #blessed" posts. I'd love a more professional, thoughtful forum where...

  14. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi Brandon- as a man, you're not privy to the struggle of women in stereotypically "female" professions to prove their value and get beyond words like "caring" and nurturing." If you don't "see" any...

  15. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A lot of people are bringing up the "nurses as most trusted professionals" lists. Of course topping these lists is a good thing, and something we should be proud of, but I've always thought that there...

  16. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Those of you who have brought up the historical context of nursing-- I think that's an important piece to consider. I'm wondering if my frustration may have something to do with generational...

  17. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just wanted to jump in here quickly and thank everyone for participating. I'm also very pleased that there have not been any personal attacks here; it's good to know we can have a passionate,...

  18. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi Jadelpn- there are issues within the current nursing education system. Economic costs discourage higher education and create barriers to education and career advancement, especially among racial,...

  19. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've noticed this too, lubdub. It's really polarizing and makes me feel belittled. I love nurses and I truly believe we have this hugely important role in society, so it's really upsetting to see the...

  20. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for sharing that, mhy12784. That's really interesting, and I've heard similar stories. I'm sorry they put you in that situation. If your hospital has a tuition program, it seems like they would...

  21. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't think it's worthwhile to argue whether qualitative or quantitative research is better; they both have their uses. I would like to point out, though, that my post about anti-intellectualism in...

  22. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think I'm not understanding your argument. Are you trying to say that the only effective researchers are clinical research

  23. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think nursing researchers spend a lot of time finding ways to get bedside nurses involved. That's a huge part of the job,

  24. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I disagree. We don't choreograph movements to perform with every patient. We use critical thinking and evidence-based practice to inform our decisions with each patient. I don't think collecting...

  25. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    fakenurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Aren't rising expectations for education in nursing a good thing? Don't we want a workforce of smart, educated nurses? Maybe the nurses with high degrees who have never worked a day as a nurse are...
