  1. Are you Man Enough to be an OB nurse?

    firstyearstudent replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Men in Nursing

    On of the very few guys in my class was great during our L&D rotation. He is huge so he could really hold and support a laboring woman. He said he would never consider L&D because of the...

  3. do u believe that taking nclex-rn really have to do with luck!?

    firstyearstudent replied to pagandeva2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Instead of praying to God that I'm going to pass, I'm going to think "Crackers." Heh

  4. do u believe that taking nclex-rn really have to do with luck!?

    firstyearstudent replied to pagandeva2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX is a mystery! Heh heh. It's all supposed to be scientific, but they probably just have a trained parrot who taps on a keyboard to determine who passes or

  5. do u believe that taking nclex-rn really have to do with luck!?

    firstyearstudent replied to pagandeva2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think God has anything to do with the NCLEX. In fact, I don't think he (or she) exists. I'm an

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

    firstyearstudent replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've spent most of my adult life in New York or Los Angeles. It's never been an issue. It hasn't been unprofessional to be openly gay and it's anybody's business. I'm met many people who did make...

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

    firstyearstudent replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Because I think that the more homosexual people are unashamed "out" the more it will be accepted by our society. Standing up and saying it without provocation would just be a little joke,...

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

    firstyearstudent replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Before class I'd stand up and say, "For those of you who have been wondering if I'm gay, YES I AM!" Then I'd never say another word about

  9. Did anyone watch 20/20 last night? transgendered children

    firstyearstudent replied to allantiques4me's topic in General Nursing

    I know a boy child who is dressing and acting like a girl all the time. His parents are allowing this, which I think is correct. This is more than an "experiment" on his part. It has been going on a...

  10. Nursing and unionization...

    firstyearstudent replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I always hear that union hospitals have bad nurses because the union protects them from being fired. But I've seen plenty of bad nurses at non-union hospitals also. Some of these places have poor...

    firstyearstudent replied to brwneyegal's topic in General Nursing

    If JCAHO is not onsite: You remove your right glove, dipense antimicrobial handgel into your palm and smush it around as best you can with your fingers, pick up the dirty linen with your left hand and...

  13. CRNA to MDA?

    firstyearstudent replied to Salesman217's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Really? Guess I shouldn't believe everything my nursing school instructors tell me. While you may be right that one nursing school might have turned one doctor down when approached about working in...

  14. CRNA to MDA?

    firstyearstudent replied to Salesman217's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This sounds like another case where physicians are intimidated that nurses are encroaching on their turf and are trying to take take it back. From what I understand, this what happen when the medical...

  15. Would you be offended, "practically an RN?" - or am I overreacting?

    firstyearstudent replied to manna's topic in General Nursing

    I think if nurses were better respected and more secure, this type of comment would be taken for what it is -- just a nod to the hard work and expertise that goes into good parenting, not a dis on...

    firstyearstudent replied to pacifica falayfay's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed in some hospitals that some of the foreign nurses band to together to protect one another. They demand respect. In fact, some of the doctors are careful not to offend them, They are...

  19. Patients die when turned on left side??

    firstyearstudent replied to PCUSheryl's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps this dates back to anything associated with the left being evil or

  20. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    firstyearstudent replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that on units where morale is low and nurses are overburdened, there is a lack of patience for students. This is often the case on M/S units. However, on units where nurses have small...

    firstyearstudent replied to NurseyTee's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that this is happening to you. If it is any consolation, we are being taught in nursing school right now that interventions that improve patient functioning (including tying a patient's...

    firstyearstudent posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I am a nurse, in a few months, if all goes well, I really want to present a professional image to patients. What should I wear? Studies show that patients like to see nurses in white uniforms. I...

  23. uniform?

    firstyearstudent replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Can I read between the lines here and wonder if nurses who wear white or white uniforms are seen as putting on airs? Does it bother other nurses somehow? I've worked at plenty of desk jobs where...

  24. What determines the size of a woman's areola?

    firstyearstudent replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Students

    You are a youngster, aren't you Mesomorph! One day, if you're lucky, the woman you love will feel secure enough to turn to you and say, "Does this look bad?" and show you something on her body you...
