    Got scolded by parent today

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Will working the night shift provide more opportunity to see family on holidays?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to 8130's topic in General Nursing

    Close to 30 years of working night shift. I can at least squeeze in a few hours working 7P-7A back to back. This year Christmas will be a wash as I work Eve and day, as will my wife. Kids will be with...

    What do they call you?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in School

    The public sees anyone in a role like a nurse as a nurse. Don't sweat it. There are those here that would have you physically reinforce the point, but all you can do is offer, which you

    Got scolded by parent today

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Welcome to planet Earth. You can not please everyone and somewhere, someone will let you know exactly what they think you are doing wrong. I, too, joke with the students and have a more relaxed...

    Do women find male nurses attractive?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Let's put this in perspective: 1/9, 2/18 etc. when gays represent 2% of the population shows a statistical proclivity that nursing "attracts" male nurses. That's plain statistics folks, we could be...

    Husband became a RN

    MrNurse(x2) replied to NurseLady1210's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like communication is a problem here. Talk to your husband, let him know your concerns. Financially, you should be in a better spot with his job alone, leaving you to quit to look for a...

    Student with Diabetes

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Amethya's topic in School

    That is why I said don't call CPS at this point. More and more endos are fixing the insulin to the poor diet than asking for a change of diet that may be unrealistic. At some point you have to meet...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    What Is The Most Disrespectful Thing A Colleague Has Said To You?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I respond with babies are spoon fed (doctors give ICU nurses info they would never tell a floor nurse, even if asked), adults have to hunt and gather for their knowledge. I respect the skill set and...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    I tell parents the same line, over and over: I can only treat what I am told. I say this when a kid is obviously acting after getting hit in the head and I say it when a kid denies pain. Most ERs...
