Male nurse here, just want to say thanks for all you did recently for raising awareness for the violence that happens to us in the work place. I don’t think I have a single week that I’m not scratched at, bitten, kicked or verbally berated.

So I wanted to say thank you for that!

But hey... satisfaction scores right?

In general I meant all nurses. But I will say as a male nurse, if we have a patient that is known to be a problem or combative 9/10 time he will be assigned to me or another male nurse. Also we are expected to go to pretty much all the code greys to help

I’m imagining a porn scrap book lol “this was my first facial! And this here is from my first 3 some!”

That and people coming off drugs. Some times it’s little old ladies with sub downers. We have on patient who has been on our floor for 7 months with Huntington’s and she’s punched pretty much our whole staff

RN here but not OP. And yes. It was super competitive and the worst 2 years of my life. Class 2-3 days a week and 2 12 hour clinical days, a test every other week on top of that covering 8-10 chapters, home work on top of that. And if you get below like an 76% on a test that is considered a failed test. It was hard as hell, but is a super rewarding and awesome career. You should shadow an RN at a hospital and see if it’s for you!
