  1. "Do Nots" New to Administrative Role

    RNator posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Took a position as an ADM position of a clinical practice. I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on what "not" to do as an administrative individual. There are some obvious things that I...

  2. What do I do with my hands??

    RNator posted a topic in Nurse Management

    The title kind of explains my anxiety at this time. New Nurse Manager. I manage a small staff in an office setting. I am so thrilled to have this job, and I have been such a hard working, task and...

  3. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

    RNator replied to Halim F. Dagher's topic in Men in Nursing

    I see. So by verbalizing the events that are witnessed and confirmed, I am whining? I'm glad for you and your love of double standards...not. I thought I was desiring to affect change. I haven't lied...

  4. Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    RNator replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree. I hate the idea of being a prude, but SHE holds the cards. It IS harassment, and you being male puts you at a disadvantage if you reciprocate on her level...they will side with the female, as...

  5. Facial hair for interview?

    RNator replied to Doindia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have been offered every position I have applied for. I've done so with an ear ring if I was wearing one, fairly long, neT beard when I was wearing one...I interview well and I am a damn good catch....

    Nice replies, keep em

  7. Now That I'm Gone

    RNator posted a topic in Emergency

    I left my ER of 3 plus years for another adventure. I won't dredge up a bunch of dirt, and I had other reasons for moving on other than some of the "issues." SITUATION: there is a very troubling issue...

  8. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think that ER I just left is really kind of a

  9. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    You are correct, and I left that job for several reasons. I shouldn't assume it is wide spread, you are correct. As far as strength, either gender doesn't have an advantage if the lifting isn't...

  10. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I appreciate your post. However, I do have an opinion, and it is only an opinion. I believe that females are so accustomed to not having male caregivers, that they are using it to their advantage....

  11. Office Organizing

    RNator posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Here's a post that should be fun and helpful. I am a new Nurse Manager, and I am wondering what items make your office a fun, organized, efficient work space.

  12. Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    RNator replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, I don't think obese people should get any preferential treatment, period. If they do, then let's pay for the addicts prevention plan as well. This includes smokers, drinkers etc. the...

  13. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've always said "it should be a requirement to be a CNA for X amount of time before being a Nurse." This way, the lazy, averse to getting dirty, would be weeded out. This would make the herd stronger...

  14. Musicians, Artist career changers?

    RNator replied to Elsa15's topic in General Nursing

    I think I stated myself clearly, but if not, here goes. I am a nurse, always wanted to be. But first I fell in love with music...right from the womb you might say. I could not live without music....

    RNator replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And, tired Doctors can just get over it. They chose their vocation, not me. Nurses get tired

  18. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    RNator replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm with ya. What was the admitting Dx? Lots of great advice on this one. But myself, I'm wondering the same, why am I waking this person? I'm guessing it's protocol, or admission

  19. Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    RNator replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you. Crime rates influencing exercise? It's more like, TV influencing paranoia. True the creepers are out there, like they've always been, but sensationalism is to blame when a...

  20. Musicians, Artist career changers?

    RNator replied to Elsa15's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I do, but cover band stuff. It's fun, but not the same as pursuing a more creative life. I actually envy some local musicians that I know, who live a very meager existence, but live music, and...

  21. Obesity; The "Second Hand Smoke" of Modern American Society

    RNator replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like much allowance and sympathy for obese people here, but cigarette smokers are still the scapegoat for society... oh the irony. Obese people should be beaten upon just like smokers,...

  22. Musicians, Artist career changers?

    RNator replied to Elsa15's topic in General Nursing

    Elsa, Whether it's nursing or anything other than your art, don't do it until you've given your art a100% attempt. Success means different things to different people. Maybe just being able to live...

  24. Dear Preceptors

    RNator replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Good point!! Sometimes a nurse is cast into the role of preceptor and perhaps shouldn't be. Management needs to own their program

    RNator posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I've been an ER RN 3+ years, 1+ year med/surg prior to that, ASN degree. Starting an RN SUPV/ADM position in 1 week. Hard to believe I have been promoted so quickly, but I have been tenacious in...
