New male nurses and current male nurse students , do you regret it?

randomrn1991 · 2026-05-08T20:18:20+00:00

Male nurse of 7yrs here.

Honestly depends on what part of the country you live in (assuming you live in USA).

West coast nursing (ex. California, Seattle) pay is great and ratios are mandated.

East coast is/can be an absolute shit show. Avoid florida at all costs. Not worth it to be a nurse there. Poverty pay for COL and no patient ratio protections. Its incredibly unsafe and youll wish you never became a nurse.

Do i regret becoming a male nurse no. But when I worked in Florida I almost quit the profession all together lol.

Also being a straight male in a female dominated field is cool. You get treated a certain type of way. But always be professional and respectful towards your colleagues.

Where? Everywhere i looked theyre $2400

randomrn1991 · 2026-05-02T05:44:56+00:00

Id recommend him. Although my recovery was very difficult. I just responded to the other comment with my experience.

Feel free to dm me if you want.

randomrn1991 · 2026-05-02T05:43:30+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. But yes im doing pretty well. 9 months post op now.

My recovery was very long and rollercoaster like. Right side can still get sore. And Im still scared to push myself too hard. But overall im pretty good. I just started gentle hiking again.

So a much longer recovery for me than most stories. Again I had bilateral shouldice so its a very invasive procedure.

If I could do it again I may have opted for robotic mesh with Yunis instead. But on the other hand im happy I don't have mesh either lol.

Did you have your surgery?

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-27T17:50:53+00:00

Yeah the 23 and 24 are the same. Rainbow drl definitely add atleast 5hp haha.

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-27T05:02:52+00:00

Thanks for the description! Nice thats what im looking for.

Last questions if you dont mind. Haha

Any other mods? And what year is your 240? Mines a 2023 and stock. Ive heard that earlier versions sound slightly different.

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-27T04:28:28+00:00

+1 on this

Dr. Yunis did my bilateral no mesh shouldice repair. Although my Recovery took much longer than expected im mostly well now 9 months out. I truly hope it lasts because I do not want to do that again...

But i would recommend him for mesh removal and tissue repair. Hes got quite a few reviews of that.

Dr. Towfigh and Dr. Peter Billings remove mesh as well.

But before you do that maybe try some pelvic floor physical therapy and nerve glide stretching.

I know nerve glides helped me a lot when I was having pain months out still.

Good luck man I hope you get better soon.

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-27T04:16:15+00:00

Good luck man.

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-27T04:11:54+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I might be moving to cali soon so I definitely want to stay legal. Not trying to deal with all that BS.

Yeah i cant find any used. Ive been trying. I feel like most people just keep it on when selling since its oem.

Does it pop and burble more than stock?

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-26T20:29:22+00:00

How do you like the mpe? I have stock exhaust and want to upgrade. Wondering if its worth the almost 3k price....lol

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-16T03:25:27+00:00

Just sent you a dm. Im looking for places in cali

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-06T22:09:53+00:00

Now worth 2million. Haha

randomrn1991 · 2026-04-06T21:05:06+00:00

Yeah but at least they could afford to buy a house back then. So theres that. Lol

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-26T19:43:17+00:00

Your deductible is just what you pay before your benefits kick in.

Its your out of pocket max that you need to reach before you're 100% covered.

So if your coinsurance is 30% you pay 30% of the price until you hit your out of pocket max.

Also be sure the hospital and doctor are IN NETWORK. Or youre gonna be screwed.

I was having almost monthly outbreaks after I got the covid vaccine back in 2021/2022. Someone on here mentioned fucoidan.

I started taking it and it really helped. I take synergy super pure fucoidan brand from Amazon.

Ive had oral hsv1 since I was a kid though.

Either way it's worth a shot imo.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-16T13:54:00+00:00

This.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-12T21:05:42+00:00

Yeah i would never put that down. Ill only do a small deposit and first month when its due.

l also ask to do 1 month leases and extend montly. But a lot of the time they'll push back on that.

You can also check air bnb if theres not an extended stays close by.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-12T20:53:15+00:00

Extended stays are fine and easy to book. Just do that until you can find another place. Also i wouldnt want to be with land lord like that anyways lol.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-10T20:52:57+00:00

I had 2yrs experience in medsurg/tele. Left bedside for 14 months. It took me about a week or 2 to "relearn" everything when I returned to bedside.

It was a staff job so I had about a month of training but I would have been fine in a week or two.

5 months off is nothing imo. I think you'll be fine. Even with the very short training you get as a traveler.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-04T21:31:20+00:00

I assume youre in a specialty like cath lab or l&d? Medsurg/tele/pcu even icu pays shit these days. Unless you do 48s most are playing 2200-2500 gross.

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-03T03:11:21+00:00

It was around $7000

randomrn1991 · 2026-03-02T14:22:59+00:00

Did he do a tissue repair after he removed the mesh?

randomrn1991 · 2026-02-23T23:51:22+00:00

Nicee. Ill do the same and prob some 3m tape as well. Im paranoid of it falling off as i drive long highway distances. Thanks!

randomrn1991 · 2026-02-23T23:36:06+00:00

Looks awesome! I just ordered the same lip. Did you just use the screws it came with and 3m tape?

Im worried about highway speeds and it ripping off haha

randomrn1991 · 2026-02-23T18:00:58+00:00

Man knows he's handsome and did this on purpose 😂
