  4. Male Nurses in OB

    RNator replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    A female coworker of mine regulates which female patients are "ok" for me to see based on her own perceptions. Old and unattractive-ok for me to cath, younger not so unattractive- I must be prevented...

  5. marriage and nursing school

    RNator replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school and working with females has all but destroyed my marriage. It wasn't good to begin with, but my wife is ridiculous and jealous. I don't know why...every text is a threat. In Nursing...

  7. Male Nurses in OB

    RNator replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    Patients discriminating is one thing, but for us RN's to do it to each other is another. I have no problem accommodating a female patient request. But, another RN has no right to assume that a problem...

  9. Late for work excuses

    RNator replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being serious? Can't tell from here :-). Calling to say you'll be late, but then not as late as originally thought, does not qualify one as being "on time" or un-late... "Officer, I know...

    RNator replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    One of the chicks I work with is ALWAYS late, never reprimanded, and this has led to a real messed up comprehension of reality. Here's the most recent "excuse": she called saying that she wouldn't be...

  12. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work in a rural ER, and am a male/minority. It's difficult when I have to decide whether to remain "liked" or stand for what is right...sadly I have chosen to not engage. Well I have engaged ever so...

  13. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    Your points are taken, I understand. When was the last time you asked a male patient if he wanted you involved in his intimate care? If you haven't asked that question, do you see the sad truth of...

  15. Nurse pt ratio in the er

    RNator replied to floridaRN38's topic in Emergency

    I can't believe that there are so many 5:1, 6:1 ratios in ER!! That, to me is just not safe. At my place it is 4:1, and many of us RN's try very hard to NOT give anyone a 4th patient unless they are a...

  16. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wish I worked with more Nurses with your sensibilities 😊. But I don't, and for the life of me I don't know how these other nurses justify their actions😔

  17. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    I personally do not see the same "sensitivities" granted to male patients. It may be exclusive to my place of employment...and that is why I'm leaving...just my $.02

  18. How do people feel about male nurses?

    RNator replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just thought I would weigh in here Kalycat...its not the dark ages, but I see PLENTY of the bias...sadly. And, it comes from fellow nurses, which happen to be female. I am presently aggressively...

  21. Current Male CNA/Patient Sitter & future nursing student

    RNator replied to jc0322's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey good for you! I too started as a CNA. I'd love to see ALL Nurses start as a CNA in a busy unit, for X amount of time. It will, in my opinion make you a better Team player, if not a better Nurse....

  24. Tired of being talked to like I am stupid

    RNator replied to Student2Registered's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We need to keep trying to change the culture in the work place. It NEVER WAS ok for Nurses to be treated with disrespect! All those who have gone before us and have assumed the victim mentality have...

  25. Beard as a male nurse?

    RNator replied to Jarl Redbeard's topic in Men in Nursing
