   Hello Everybody! I am currently attending a condensed Microbiology summer course and have been handed a project for the lab portion of the course. We have free reign over what we can do, well, just as long as we are able to. :) As of now I am curre...

   Swedenboi6 replied to roxburin's topic in Men

   Believe it or not you are actually going to find a lot of male patients that would rather have a male cleaning them! I know this sounds weird...who would ever want to give up the prospect of having a beautiful female give them baths?! But really, it ...

3. pin ?

   Swedenboi6 replied to ken-pin's topic in Men

   I was actually given a pin from the State of Maine upon completion of my one year training as a CNA. I wear it all the time (mainly because it's shiny and I like it!) I wear it just about my name tag over my heart. I like to wear mine just because it...

4. kissing a pt/ resident

   Swedenboi6 replied to Marti Ann's topic in Men

   In so many way's it doesn't seem an issue, while in other's it does. When I went through CNA training we were taught to be very careful about our actions involving touch and affection. In fact, we were told no kissing or hugging. Now that I'm three y...

5. Required to wear girly scrubs

   Swedenboi6 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men

   I, myself, don't know what I would necessarily do in your position. I am a 3rd year nursing student and a part time CNA on the side. In my opinion though, I would probably consider the fact that everybody else will be wearing the same color as you, s...

   I am attending, and be ready for this long title... Husson College's and Eastern Maine Medical Center's Baccalaureate Nursing School. *Sighs* Phew! Long title! It is a small private college located in central Maine, in the city of Bangor. I'm already...

9. The Best and Worst things about being a male nurse

   Swedenboi6 replied to Doug85's topic in Male Students

   Let's see...LoL One of the more beneficial or better aspects as to being a CNA (I haven't quite had a chance to use my nursing students skills as I haven't been on clinical yet) is when I walk into work after a few days off, and I have both staff mem...

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

    Swedenboi6 replied to mrsmariangie's topic in Male Students

    I attend a small private college in the city of Bangor, Maine. It has been one of the most positive experiences in my life. I am two years down, and two more left; soon after that another year and a half in graduate school to become a FNP. There are ...
