   PM me and I can answer some questions you may have. I will be attending CMC/UNCC starting this fall, and had my interview this last

2. MEN, dont come into nursing

   BigGoose62 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

   Male nurse here, and I completely disagree. I love this career, and can't see myself doing much else. I enjoy the responsibility and satisfaction of helping people. Every job has downsides, and maybe...

3. Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

   BigGoose62 replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

   While most on here are saying the money wouldn't help, I'm going to disagree. I think a few more dollars/hr would make some of the crap seem more bearable. But I'm not burnt out yet or anything, and...

   I would imagine it would depend on the staffing available, pt age, and how comfortable the pt and their family are with a particular gender nurse. I know in my peds clinicals there was a teenage boy...

8. Atheism in nursing

   BigGoose62 replied to pugmom79's topic in Spirituality, Religion

   We deal with all types...especially when it comes to families. I'd say you did everything fine. I wouldn't feel comfortable praying with a patient's family

9. Evolution and Nursing

   BigGoose62 replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

   There is plenty of evidence for evolution, but none for creation. I'm always baffled at the lack of skepticism in the nursing community, especially considering the amount of scientific knowledge and...

10. What do you say if you don't pray?

    BigGoose62 replied to BusyBee91's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My personal take...just be honest. Tell the patient you don't subscribe to their particular religion/beliefs. And it depends on what they're asking, too. If they want you to pray in front of them or...

11. Did You Know You Wanted to Do Anesthesia Before...

    BigGoose62 replied to WhiffOfGas's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I found out about the profession while shadowing a nurse in an OR. Shadowing the nurse was supposed to help me decide if I wanted to pursue a career in nursing, but I spent the majority of the time...
