  1. Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    LVN_Soon2Be posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    So I'm a nursing student and my instructor today said "A man must have been teaching in the classroom! It's a mess!" She also went on about how most male nurses are sloppy and messy. I was like...

    LVN_Soon2Be posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hey everybody, It's been awhile since my last post. Somethings have happened, good and bad. I just got accepted into a BSN program after leaving my VN program (YAY! Public Health Nursing here I...

    LVN_Soon2Be posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    As I sat waiting in the psychiatrist's office yesterday I was nervous. I've seen many psychiatrists before. Some good and some bad. I have not been under the care of a psychiatrist in almost a year,...

  4. I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  5. Nurses with Panic/Anxiety Disorders & Prescriptions at Work

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to yasae's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Also, one more thing. Pause when you get anxious and take a look at why you are feeling anxious... Is it anxiety/panic or is it everyday/work stressors. If I'm stressed about work, school, finances,...

  6. Nurses with Panic/Anxiety Disorders & Prescriptions at Work

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to yasae's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You would want to contact your state's BON regarding this issue. When I worked as a CNA (not a nurse yet, just a student one), I would never take a benzodiazepine. I have been on Xanax (mainly at 2mg...

  7. I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thank you both! Nursing is a difficult path, but I feel like it's the path that was chosen for me. I don't think of my mental illnesses negatively anymore, yeah they can be a barrier, but how many...

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to Becca014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. Runt of the Litter

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to elijahvegas's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a guy and taller than you (6' 2") but only weigh about 150 lbs. I look like a long twig... But when it comes to lifting I'm a big help... it's all about body mechanics and if you can't lift it on...

  12. Do you think your work place should support healthy eating?

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    My opinion on this is: It's a personal choice to eat what you eat... BUT places of employment should offer healthy snacks for free (or AT LEAST cheaper than vending machine prices) as an incentive for...

  14. Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Men in Nursing

    It was offensive. And the previous instructor (who taught a class the previous evening) was male. It kinda did offend me, because I felt she was generalizing all men. She is a good instructor though...

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Men in Nursing

    LVN_Soon2Be replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in LPN, LVN Students
