    Red Kryptonite replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

  5. I'm a sexless nurse

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 17 year old whom I am fairly certain would accept care from men if hospitalized, because she's been pretty vocal about how stupid it is to expect that only one gender can do certain tasks....

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    And text didn't used to be a verb. Language evolves, but people are also basically lazy, so terminology gets simplified in common usage. Now that the term is being discussed more, you're going to...

  8. indefinite suspension because of med error

    Red Kryptonite replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  11. Is this a new trend?

    Red Kryptonite replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

    It's only two years. I know at your age that feels like forever, but having just watched my oldest child graduate from high school and turned 40, I can tell you right now two years is NOTHING. Blink...

  15. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good point, Parakeet, because you would get written up and if you persisted, could lose your

  16. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Parakeet, I'm a serious practicing Catholic, yet I would call a transgender person by their chosen pronoun. What my Church teaches on the philosophical questions surrounding transgender issues is...

  17. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    And I was thinking of the typical hospital admission, where the nurse goes in with her WOW and asks all the "checkbox" questions

  18. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Let's take a woman with a deep voice and perhaps a less than curvy figure. She's struggled her whole life with being mistaken for male on the phone, on drive throughs, etc. and because of her figure,...

  19. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Um, yeah.....no. I live under the New Covenant in which Christ superseded all the ritual laws of the Old Testament like that one. I eat pork and my husband shaves, eat milk mixed with meat...

  21. Sexy male scrubs

    Red Kryptonite replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    PS I think one lesson coming out of this thread is that more men should learn to sew. My husband is very good at it. He makes himself vests, coats, even a couple kilts. He can make everything look...

    Red Kryptonite replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    You really never thought that men would want to look sexually appealing? Really? They're human. They have the same feelings and needs as

  23. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

  24. Please don't call me Dude

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing
