  1. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

  2. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    At home? I'm not at your home. I'm on a professional website where the moderators tell us CONSTANTLY to keep our posts professional. I guess no one here is capable of taking offense at what you might...

  3. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    Here here. Don't you get it. These folks are intolerant. That means THEY get to decide what is appropriate or not -- not the two coworkers who are chitchatting. Evidently humiliating men about their...

  7. Guilt

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  8. Guilt

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am thinking about any and all of it. From a patient who comes in fore minor surgery and ends up septic to knowing you partipated in harmful care (like after lobotomies were debunked) to med...

  9. Physicians and Labor Support

    firstyearstudent replied to May_baby's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Smelling Cancer?

    firstyearstudent replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how this can be true because cancer is not really one disease, it is a catch-all term for malignant cell overgrowth. If someone told me they can smell small cell carcinoma of the lungs, I...

  11. Physicians and Labor Support

    firstyearstudent replied to May_baby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't really get the difference between telling a mom who she can or can't have in the delivery room and refusing to take a patient who wants a doula for labor support. In terms of the physician not...

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

  15. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

    firstyearstudent replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm not equating vegetarianism and atheism with homosexuality. And, I'd never advocate that people put their lives in danger. But because of those who have, all homosexuals benefit from increased...

  16. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    Let me guess, you live in the Midwest, don't you? Sex isn't the only thing that is funny, but it is pretty funny, so why not make jokes about it -- if it's appropriate to the specific work culture...

  17. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

    firstyearstudent replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm with you! If people ask me a personal question, I'm inclined to share -- and you can do this in a completely PROFESSIONAL way. Why not. It's how we learn about each other and leads to tolerance....

  19. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

  21. sexual jokes in the workplace

    firstyearstudent replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the comment was addressed specifically to her or to the whole group. In the first instance, I think it's no one's business. Because nurses work in close quarters they are in situations...

  23. did I just get discriminated?

    firstyearstudent replied to lovemycareerchoice's topic in General Nursing

    Was the job CNA or nursing externship? If it was the latter, they usually ask for one year of nursing school. Actually, unless you have a CNA certificate, they usually ask for one year of nursing...

  24. big bad nursing myths busted

    firstyearstudent replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Psych nurses are lazy and won't or can't do med/surg. Psych nurses are crazy. I had an ICU nurse tell me this one last week: How can you tell a psych nurse from her/his patients? They let the psych...
