  1. Male nursing students can do assessments on the women?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That is so silly. Women allow MALE doctors to perform assessments on them and the spouses of those women would allow the same thing. And I don't think there is a guy alive that finds childbirth...

    Lisa CCU RN replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

  6. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    Lisa CCU RN replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    Lisa CCU RN replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

  14. Help I have an Instructor that doesn't teach!

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

    usually, I'd say suck it up and teach yourself if the instructor doesn't teach, but if EVERYONE is failing, then that IS ridiculous. I really don't know what to tell you, but that I'm sorry you are...

  21. why does the nursing profession have a lot of drama?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Have you never had another job? There is drama in fast food, retail, warehouses.... Maybe if you became a vet or something? Or a zookeeper then maybe you'd have no drama. If you work with people,...

    What is a 10 hour shift? 7-5? My kids go to day care frm 6am- 6 pm right now and what do most other offices workers work, 9-5 or whatever? So you end up getting off at about the same time and you end...

  25. Why the salary difference?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to DST2RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
