It's about time for a new thread to breathe life into this tired forum.....
Here we go!
You know you're a male RN when:
- You constantly complain to coworkers that your scrubs are too short, (since when is 33 long a "tall"?) and you have no boobs to fill your unisex scrub top.
- You get offended glances as you eat your cheeseburger and fries at lunch from your coworkers who are on the "lean cuisine" diet...
-People assume you, having a pair, possess the superhuman strength to lift the 350lb lady in someone else's room, regardless of the fact that several of your female coworkers look tough enough to whup yer @$$...
-Your credentials should read: RN-NWP (registered nurse, nurse with prostate)
-Your PMS detection skills are at an all-time high along with your avoidance maneuver techniques...
-You feel like you're either married to, or being a daddy to everyone else in your unit....
Whats sad is that we tru;y think and feel this way. Just yesterday a pts daughter came in that were really, ahem, great looking, but as a professional person I was not allowed to say, "Your daughters are hot!" I later told her (pt) that her daughters were really nice and pretty. Sounds kinda quaint, but trying to be a professional single guy around all of these cute girls.
Well see thats why you have to do what the guys were talking about earlier, wear you scrubs in public!!! It's hot!!!! It's so hard to find guys that are stable and have a good job and especially work in the health field... melts our hearts lol! Even though we automatically assume your caring, sensitive lol
- There's no line for the bathroom during breaks from training classes.
- You're kid asks for you, not his mother, when he's sick.
- You always sign up to work Valentine's day, but never Super Bowl Sunday.
- You always have to tell your wife you're going out with "friends from work" when what you really mean is "a dozen hot chicks who are ten years my junior".

LMAO These are GREAT! But I am one chick who would prefer to work Valentines day and have off Superbowl Sunday- and I love making Chili for it and sitting back drinking a few beers and rooting for -dare I say it on this thread- THE COWBOYS! WOOT WOOT! LOL I may be a girlie girl sometimes [ok a lolt of the time] ---but I love Football, fishing, drinking beer, tailgating, riding four wheelers... I'm a country girl- what can I say?
i know its probably been mentioned but i gotta repeat why is it when there is 5 secs of silences or quite times a female nurse will ask " so... you married? ..girlfriend? ..kids?."
they just gotta know our biz ..case and point being all the fems who read and post in the male forum

What is this the He-Man woman haters club? Why does it matter to you if women post on the "male thread"? Talk about being discriminated against.... Maybe they are trying to make civilized conversation with you!?! Ever thought of that?

Gentle reminder, everyone...this is a male based forum from a male perspective as it relates to nursing. Our female colleagues may of course visit, read, and post here too...especially if it adds to or invites productive dialog. Let's be respectful.
:wink2: Thanks. Its fun messing with you guys too. haha

Moving forward.
BTW, Sorry If my response came off wrong- I was only joking about the he-man woman hater thing too. [Little Rascals]...
I do like a guys perspective like I've said before...
On to more of those you might be a male nurse if...
If anyone has any! Just got back from the gym- and I'm bored at work!
Geez, you guys get away with murder. The most I can do is touch the back of their neck with my ice-cold pepsi can on the way down the hall and run....
You know you're the male RN when you order out at work, and everyone hands YOU a $20 and disappears, leaving you to order, pick up, calculate the total, and figure out everyone's change.
WOOT WOOT! LOL I may be a girlie girl sometimes [ok a lolt of the time] ---but I love Football, fishing, drinking beer, tailgating, riding four wheelers... I'm a country girl- what can I say?
and they are fun to mess with
