You know you're a male RN when......

[SteveNNP]

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....

Keep 'em coming!

You bake a cake, from a mix. You cover it with frosting, from a can. You bring it to pot-luck and co-workers propose, because you're such a good cook.

You're bathing an attractive young woman and fantasizing about the aide who is helping you.

You kinda like it when patients hit on you. (Little old ladies aren't as scary as dirty old men.)

I know..... my coworkers think because I can cook, and feed/change babies for a living that I'm somehow God's gift to women..... NO! For the last time, I'm not going out with your girlfriend/daughter/sister/tattooed perpetually single middle-aged friend.......

I'm pretty sure I am God's gift to women. Possibly a gag gift. Whatever.

I was standing around talking to a group of three female co-students. Out of no where another unknown female walks up to us, looks at ALL four of us and says quite excitedly.

"OMG do any of you have a spare tampon I am TOTALLY overflowing here!"

I just stood there and looked at the other girls. Not in shock but to see if any had BROUGHT an extra tampon! Then I burst out laughing at myself. I was debating if they had effectively cut off my testicles or If i had just become so desensitized to the estrogen in the air that I wasnt phased by this.

One of my friends handed the excited young girl a tampon and with that she quickly said, "Great, Im going to go plug up the nile real quick!" and ran off. I havent laughed that hard in a long time.

Men, what did we get ourselves into?

In our PACU most of the 1st shift nurses are women and the 2nd shift nurses are men (5 including me). The 1st shift (gals) usually have slots 1-9 on one side of the room, while the 2nd shift (guys) have 10-18. We refer to our PACU as the "pretty" side and the "smart" side:roll

I often joke that "I can cook, sew, wash, do dishes, look after babies and kids. Man will I make some woman a good wife"

Surely there must be some attractive, single doctor out there, looking for a trophy husband...

My partner made me sign a "I promise I wont fall in love with an attractive docter and move away to an island someplace" contract.

I do not, have not and never will make some personal remarks with some of the male nurses close. But, I sure love to talk fishing with a couple. The younger one has a problem that I can drive a stick and he can't, helped roof the house, own a 9mm with telescopic sights, let hubby go off hunting or camping with the boys for a week and think Brad Pitt is too skinny. LOL!
