I admire those who choose be nurses now as the career has changed so much since I started back in the late 60's. And I say hats off to all the male nurses. Some of the best nurses I ever worked with were males.
Like when we are discussing emesis, BM's or ghastly wounds during our meal time without thinking of those unlucky enough to over hear us while they are eating.
You are soooo right there. It is always up and out of my mouth before I think twice about those I'm with!
i used to work oncology and we were always going to "nausea and vomiting" dinners. i'm a paper nurse now but i sure miss bedside nursing. my daughter and her husband are nurses and love what they do. my neice went into nursing after talking with me. she's a "baby nurse" so still getting her feet wet (maybe literally!) and says she really likes it but its scary.
