3. PLEASE paper due-Nursing student- 5minute Questionairre 6?'s- gender stereotypes?

   SeekUrBliss replied to daze's topic in Student Assist

   my replies: 1. I do think gender stereotypes still exist- but in my opinion, its an "age" thing. We have 4 very good male nurses in our unit. I have had several of my geriatric patients say something negative about it. Wierd to me! 2. No 3. Sadly, y...

9. 12 hr shifts- a thing of the past?

   SeekUrBliss replied to SeekUrBliss's topic in General Nursing

   That's great! For me, 12 hr shifts proved to be too much for me also. I was pretty much a basket case of stress and didn't realize it until i stopped doing the 12's. Like i said before, i feel so much better now! Best wishes to u in your new career :...
