  5. Male Nurse Interactions

    BumbleBuddy replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    Male nurse here. There isn't much that you can do besides respect the patient's wishes and try to make accommodations. I've had plenty of little old ladies tell me they weren't comfortable with me...

    BumbleBuddy replied to Nolander's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  11. Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

    BumbleBuddy replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So many things on the Walking Dead having me screaming at the television. Blowing on the wound, the ETT lubricated with zombie slobber, sawing off limbs without any protective gear. But one thing...

    BumbleBuddy replied to ashleybrooke1208's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm against having mandatory flu shots because I don't like being injected with only-god-knows-what and not even knowing if the shot will be effective for that season. On the other hand, I understand...
