Any male nurse's out there??????????
So, is this the forum we can openly fart and not have to blame it on the dog?
Cool.
Been lurking for a bit, posted a few times, so here's my into.
From Ontario, Canada, graduated RN 1988 in a class of 52, I was one of 5 guys to finish the program out of 7 that started. Went into acute medicine but soon switched to LTC and been there ever since. I married my college sweetheart (we graduated together) and now have a daughter who will be starting university next year in the sciences, leaning towards nursing, but we're doing our best to talk her out of it :) I'm a local union leader and activist and represent nurses in our community in hospitals, LTC, public health and community.
I had a buddy respond to the question, "so, you're a male nurse, huh?" with, "actually, I prefer 'nurse with a member' ", after which he was verbally smacked around by his supervisor while we all laughed.
I like the reply I read somewhere here: "no, I look after women as well!"

Excellent moniker, I am quite the XD-9 fan myself having owned mine since the first year Springfield bought the distribution rights. I am at about the 5000 round mark without a problem.
Oops! Better keep it nursing related so let me add that after 12 hours of arrhythmias, impactions, and smarmy young MDs -- I can think of no better relaxation than some quality range time.
