  1. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so sure that the calendar would generate an actual

  2. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    The fashion industry and society in general does seem to be embracing the "larger

  3. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    ...funny...

  4. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since you asked: I'm simply fascinated by the psychological (for lack of a better word) aspect of it. Do the nurses who would pose in their undies for the calendar - as their Italian...

  5. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I'm simply ASTOUNDED by how many would pose for the

  6. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Your view is astute and well taken. The calendar is more than a humorous effort rooted in a very sobering subject. It does drive home the vulnerability of patients and the whole modesty issue. Some...

  7. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I gave the article to the three nurses with whom I work at my medical group. One said "no way;" one said "absolutely" and the third said only if our five foot, five inch self-proclaimed "ladies man"...

  8. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I think the general question is not whether you'd be attractive enough. It's whether you'd have the nerve to

  9. UNDERWEAR (Yes, underwear)

    nurse2211 replied to nycnurse92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Consider yourself fortunate that your patient was comfortable with the circumstances. It's far more awkward when he's

  10. IS THIS TRUE???

    nurse2211 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently read on a nursing blog: Nurse (BSN in 2010) said during school clinicals, students disrobed to their undergarments to practice on each other (sponge bathing, other procedures, etc) The few...

  11. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I concur entirely. We and two other couples, including my neighbor are going to the movies in about 7 hours, so I'll find out. At the end of the day, it's a non-issue. But as you correctly stated,...

  12. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Verbosity is one of my worst traits, so I'll try to keep it short. This morning I entered the exam room to do what I always do: Take the vitals and pose the requisite questions for a new patient so...

  13. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Your point is well taken. And experience tells me that most guys could not care less about underwear. It wasn't the boxers, that was the issue. He rejected the gown offered by our MA. It was the...

  14. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, certainly that makes perfect sense. I would only engage him if he said something first, which may happen, given the fact he was seemingly upset about it. If he does, I want to bury the issue...

  15. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    "It never happened unless he says something." Great quote.

  16. AWKWARD but admittedly hilarious situation......

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, undoubtedly he was embarrassed because he knew me. He remained flustered until he left. He's a good friend and our kids car pool to senior class at high school. I know it's a non-issue for me;...

  17. IS THIS TRUE???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    WHOA! HOLD IT! TIME OUT, REF! Seriously? I thought med students practiced pelvic exams, pap smears, rectal exams, etc., on paid "professional patients." Classmate for a pelvic exam? I'm not...

  18. OPINIONS PLEASE???

    nurse2211 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    A neighbor from my complex asked me a question and I really didn't have an informed answer so I'd like to ask it here: He's 56 years old and retired from the NYPD for about 10 years. He has no...

  19. OPINIONS PLEASE???

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in Nursing Career

    I tend to agree. I believe his age may be an issue. Although, in light of SOME of the people working in nursing today (lazy, late to work, whining, bad attitudes, ect) a hospital or doctor's office...

  20. SCRUBS (Mailorder)

    nurse2211 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Can anyone advise (from personal experience preferably) the best 2 or 3 REPUTABLE online sites from which to order scrubs as well as other ancillary items (stethoscopes, pens,

  21. When A Nurse Needs A Doctor.....

    nurse2211 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Never gave this any substantive thought until recently because I'm nearly due for my annual physical and ob/gyn check ups. Is it "advisable" (for lack of a better word) to see a doctor who knows you...

  22. When A Nurse Needs A Doctor.....

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I tend to agree that the most important issue would be competence of the doctor. However, the more I think about it, I also agree, somewhat, with those who are opposed to having their health issues...

  23. SURVEY QUESTION!!!

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was implied with the question, as that's the standard line to virtually all patients (male as well as female, once they're led to the exam room) However, upon further review, I can see...

  24. SURVEY QUESTION!!!

    nurse2211 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have skulked on the site for a couple of years but never posted before. There's lunch for three riding on the outcome of this survey question. The three us have agreed to accept the results collated...

  25. SURVEY QUESTION!!!

    nurse2211 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    As to your question, I work on Long Island, about 50 miles east of New York City, although I also spent nine years in a hospital in Manhattan. Our policy here is to request that the male patients...
