Tell us about your RN practice.
I have been an RN for 22 yrs. Mostly centered around critical care and ER settings. Love what I do. Challenging and rewarding 
From a custom motorcycle builder and a rider all my adult life, please allow me to say thanks on behalf of the biking community.
ER nurses, docs, and EMTs are our heroes.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

ER nurses, docs, and EMTs are our heroes. I had no idea what a RN was. Now I do, I echo this sentiment! I'm not a biker but I've required a lot of medical attention.

You are online. How hard is it to do a search?
"RN" is "Registered Nurse." It is a type of nurse.

Start with an online search. Most of the time, that will give you the answer. When it does not, then ask.

Is it just my impression, or do (esp. male) nurses somehow always feel the absurd need to explain and justify themselves for having chosen this profession? It is particularly bad in the anglophone world it seems. I call it Gaylord Focker effect.

I didn't want to know what it meant I just wondered how it was deciphered by someone else in a post and I looked in the same post and it didn't say
I google things all the time.

Okay, just how drunk are you? Shouldn't you remain sober so you can change your daughter's diapers?
Women, at least traditionally, have had absolutely no need to justify being nurses. At least not in this anglophone country, and I have never gotten the impression that they need to justify it anywhere else. So your "esp. male" comment is off the mark. For men, the question is (or was in the past), why did you not become a doctor? Of course, anyone who is not a fool knows that the money it takes to become a doctor is much greater than the money it takes to become a nurse.
So, is it wine? Scotch? Or have you decided not to abandon your German heritage and have made it beer? (Damn, you can get great beer in Germany, why are you not drinking more of it? I was very impressed with the local beers I had in the small towns I visited. You must be some sort of traitor to your country, you beer neglecting swine! Germany is wasted on you! I should be there!)
