I am sorry for your difficulties! I don't have an answer for the intersexed, other than age will determine the gender characteristics and I may be wrong on that. I will not be closed minded about this issue though.

Your welcome!! Even I will respect you as a person and professional. When I am at work, ALL emotions get checked at the facility door- time to work and make it patient centered.

It could have to do with the way I was raised, My dad is old fashioned. I was raised up in many churches. Mostly it bothers me because in my mind I see it as un-natural. I know there are many of you out there who disagree with me and thats okay. Thes...

Thank you! I only intended to answer your posting question not stir up a hornets nest with all the other nurses that disagree with my thoughts and what I believe others will say and do towards what "WE" do not understand. As far as the equality of si...

I agree with you completely. I could work with Kaley1 just fine and I do pray for those out there that I feel need it. I am not cold or "nasty person".

I agree. I am not the one who will join the gossip. I am simply stating what I know we as people can expect.

First, this post is about seeking all sides of issue not just support. REread the initial opening thread. It states "How would you like the person to go about things to make you feel more comfortable with it? I am looking for a realistic picture, not...

It seems as though everyone that has posted is very supportive. Me personally, I am not for transgender! As a male nurse, it really bothers me to think that some of the women nurses out there are men by birth. All I can really say is, this may be bes...

I applied for an ER PRN position prior to 2/20 had the interview about a week later and I am still waiting for HR to call (the ED director tells me she really wants me) On the other hand, I applied for a full time ED position on 4/2/14 and had a phon...

I just graduated in december. When we were on the floor and charted on our assigned patients, the nurse would still chart every 2 hours and chart "agree with student nurse" or they would not chart and rely on students to cover it. We still had to rep...

As a male nurse I have always been told (beginning in school) that men need to wear undershirts to cover up chest hair. I can understand this but DOES IT EVER MAKE ME HOT. I only wish I knew of scrubs that were NOT v necks or if someone out there kno...

Death and dying are part of life, again if you want to be a part of His healing ministry-do it for free on sabbath. Yes pastors, priests, bishops, popes, rabbi's, etc. do preach on sundays and saturdays and other days alike. Remember from your bible...

If we all kept the commands of the bible, according to Deu. 28 (rewards and punishments for keeping or not keeping the commands) there would be no sickness. The children of Israel transgressed those commands time and time again, and were punished fre...

I have a jewish friend and he believes that there is no higher calling than to love your neighbor as your self. In so doing, saving a life to him is okay if he must work a sabbath. He has also told me that if your job requires it, it is okay. Remembe...

I had an interview today for the ER, It was different. It started with the director and manager meeting me in the HR office. They had to make a pit stop in the cafeteria where the director asked me if I wanted anything. Initially I said no, but when ...

I understand what you are saying and it makes perfect sense. Thank you. I called and talked to the ED director and told her what was going on, to her surprise. She said she will try to get me on as a tech in the ED until the versant residency opens u...

Your update. I was offered a PRN position in the ED. I asked if they had any full time positions available and she had to leave a message with the director (the woman that interviewed me). When I was called back they suddenly realized that I had no E...

Thank you all for your thoughts and comments. What I have been doing is wearing sleeveless undershirts, doesn't help much. I have even though of cutting out the necks of my cotton undershirts and sewing them inside the v neck of the scrubs. I will mo...

Hr from the hospital called my house today while I was at my current job. Sadly I was unable to return the phone call today. I will have to wait until monday for the news- good or bad.

I didn't buy myself anything. I didn't take it as a come on, but some may see it as that way.

I graduated in Dec 2013 with an AAS as well. I live in southeast Illinois. I have applied for about 100 ish positions. I recently got my ACLS and PALS trying to make myself look better on paper hoping to have a fighting chance for just one of these p...

Thank you, I hope I get it too. There were two staff nurses that interview me. They took turns asking me questions.

I applied for the Veterans Affairs ER position back in december and now have an interview tonight at 1700, so nervous! This is the one job that I really really want. I am hoping some of my fellow nurses can lend advice for me on how to prepare for th...

Thank you for your insight! As a new nurse I welcome advice from those with more experience.

Yes the interview went well. Thank you. They are interviewing a total of 15 people for the position. They said I interviewed very well and answered the questions well and correctly. Some of the experienced nurses answered some questions wrong, surpri...
