    Safety Coach RN replied to valent's topic in General Nursing

  6. How old are you?

    Safety Coach RN replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's not a "looks" thing, it's a physically aging thing. The older males get, the more they have to work at being physically fit. I didn't take it as a brag as much as simply acknowledging his age and...

  8. Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    Safety Coach RN replied to ddane94's topic in Men in Nursing

  9. Should mental health nursing be grouped with addictions nursing?

    Safety Coach RN replied to hatchit's topic in Addictions

    Ok, I had to laugh at the PAWS reference. I'm pretty sure I suffered the effects of PAWS longer than two years...I remember my counselor(long term treatment) and I talking about my acute PAWS attacks...

    Safety Coach RN replied to Angeljho's topic in Psychiatric

    Safety Coach RN replied to Juankiters08's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Safety Coach RN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  14. Facts about answering 265 Q's

    Safety Coach RN replied to SteveVBall05's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I'll be honest. I casually dolled myself up on the way and figured the test would shut down at 75 questions with me passing. When it shut off at 75 questions, I tossed my hair on the way out...

  15. What's to complain about?

    Safety Coach RN replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing
