I am in my third year of a BA in English and I am kind-of-thinking-about-maybe-considering nursing school afterwards. My school has a 2-year baccalaureate degree program in nursing for people with previous bachelor's degrees, and I will probably meet the requirements. So I have some questions before I get serious about it.

quote:

I'm a male nurse, work in an ICU, and graduated from an accelerated program. If you guys don't mind, I'll answer whatever I can.

And to all male nurses: do you find you deal with a lot of "you're a guy, so you are doing task X"? I know this in particular would annoy me greatly, as I dealt with it at my last job and the management did nothing about it.

And to everyone: how often are you puked/poo poo/pissed on? Serious question.

And! You say the autonomy of nurses is increasing. But do you still get a lot of "well, you're not a doctor, so..."? I think being polite to those people would be annoying.

Thanks guys.
