  1. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    Ekklesia replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL! It's good to keep a sense of humor in these highly incendiary discussions. I just asked my wife about her preference, and she said she'd prefer an all male staff; nurses, docs, techs... If she...

  2. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    Ekklesia replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not disagreeing with you here, but I am going to put your logic to the test. I prefer to have someone of my own ethnic background because of the following reasons: I feel that someone of my...

  3. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    Ekklesia replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A few months ago we had an elderly gentleman refuse care from two techs (STNA'a). One was Hispanic and one was African-American. Most of the staff were beside themselves with blind rage at this "old...

  4. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you. Very informative thread. I would like to know what ballpark salaries are. I know that there are many variables that affect pay, and I've already googled "ACNP salary" but I'd like to hear...

  5. *microbiology Summer 07*

    Ekklesia replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ack, I had to drop micro. I'll be in the "Micro Summer 2008" thread next year. Oh well, psych finals are next week and I'll have the rest of the Summer off until August

  6. Advice needed for coworker relationship stress management?

    Ekklesia replied to UM Review RN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Angie, it looks like you've got a pretty good outlook of the situation. Shunning is a very real and very negative thing. Try not to let her "rent space" in your head. Bring the issue to a head by...

  7. Relatively High CRNA Wages.

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I digress...the decaf comment was a touch unnecessary. However, I stand behind everything else I

  8. Relatively High CRNA Wages.

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Personally, one aspect of the CRNA job that attracts me is that is the ultimate in critical care. Critical care has always interested me, and I plan to work in a critical care environment upon...

  9. Relatively High CRNA Wages.

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Umm, I think somebody needs to switch to decaf... Nowhere in my post did I say that I wished for lower wages and/or was "offended" by a CRNA'a higher wage. Please show me where I even inferred such a...

  10. Doctor Frustrations

    Ekklesia replied to Anesthesialovr's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congratulations on your acceptance! I try to keep myself informed on the latest news concerning nurse anesthesia because I am interested in becoming one myself someday, thus I read this forum and...

  11. Attention Gaylord Focker...

    Ekklesia replied to forgop's topic in Men in Nursing

    Gaylord Focker here... Yes, I did/am. I worked in an auto factory for 15 years and was making $28.00 per hour in middle management. I decided I couldn't do 15 more, and that I needed something a...

  12. Class of '09

    Ekklesia posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finally, after two long years of pre-reqs I will be starting the nursing program in August!! I was supposed to get in last year, but for some reason I got wait-listed an extra year. Oh well, I was...

  13. Class of '09

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is exactly how I am looking at the whole situation now. Although, I didn't quite see it that way at

    Ekklesia replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology and organizational psychology, both 8 weeks. Best Wishes to

  15. what are the best mens scrubs you have found?

    Ekklesia replied to Buckyxj's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm 6'7" and wear a 38" inseam, so finding scrubs that fit have been a real headache, until today. I just bought four pair of MOBB "flip flap" scrub pants. They are unisex, but these things fit in...

  16. Nursing Shoes For Men, do they exist?

    Ekklesia replied to nursesaideBen's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for the info! I need a size 15 and this exacerbates the whole shoe-buying process for me! I have found the Propet Life Walker to be pretty darn good, and reasonable in price (under

  17. ? regarding ICU experience before program...(m)

    Ekklesia replied to quinn11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's exactly what I plan to do. I don't mind driving 50 minutes one-way in order to procure a job that will provide good experience. Almost all nurses that I talk to advise me to go to the bigger...

  18. Poll for RN's: Do you have an ADN or BSN?

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Bump

  19. ? regarding ICU experience before program...(m)

    Ekklesia replied to quinn11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a nursing student and have wondered the same thing. Several smaller rural hospitals in my area (West-central Ohio) require at least one year on a med/surg floor, some even require two years....

  20. The agony of waiting for "the" letter

    Ekklesia replied to jessica<3RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my letter last Saturday and promptly faxed my "Yes, you bet your orifice I'll be attending the Nursing program this Fall!" letter. LOL I was told verbally that I would get in the program in...

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Bump to top. Any other

  22. How many hours do you study per day?

    Ekklesia replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our A&P tests were always straight off of the notes, so we never had to read. However, the prof followed the chapters in the book and we could always reference it for more detailed info if we had...

  23. Interesting facts and observations.

    Ekklesia replied to Ekklesia's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So, I don't know about all this "what a male nurse should look like" stuff. It seems rather irrelevant to me. I'm 6'7" and go about 275 lbs, how would I qualify? LOL. BTW, there are only TWO nurses...

  24. Wait Lists?!?

    Ekklesia replied to usarmy25's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They did in fact change their course. It's basically a 2+2 program now, as they are partnered with Urbana University now for the completion

  25. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Ekklesia posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I've been on the receiving end of quite a number of male "nurse" jokes ever since I started college for my BSN. I have not been phased one iota, but now that I'm in school and am around other men,...
