  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    58flyer replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ITA. If the circ is being done solely for the sake of appearance, I don't think it should be done. And "looking like daddy" is a poor reason

  2. The Circumcision Discussion

    58flyer replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess it has a lot to do with religious beliefs that seem to require infant circumcision. I have not studied that particular scripture in detail or discussed it with my pastor. If I swung in favor...

  3. The Circumcision Discussion

    58flyer replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I'm from if a guy made ANY comment about another guy's member it was grounds for a butt kicking. Not necessarily from the guy who was the subject of the comment, but any redneck who decided that...

  4. I was slapped by a doctor!

    58flyer replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    I happened upon this post a little late but I see you have some good advice already. If he is from Pakistan, I would make sure his "welcome to America" moment came in the form of a visit to the city...

  5. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You Danissa :icon_hug: To answer your question, yes, my wife would be an excellent choice for a chaperone. She was present for my cysto last year. Her sister was a nurse and would tell my...

  6. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks 3angels. I have mixed feelings on the subject of having a witness. I've posted this before; I think that any witness/chaperone/assistant should be of the same sex as the pt when it comes to...

  7. Men can't give complete baths?

    58flyer replied to stelon's topic in General Nursing

    "Sad but understandable"? Sounds like you have given in to acceptance of this practice. Therefore, it is likely to continue. I'll bet that the female nurses where you work aren't restricted from...

  8. Well I don't have an ethical issue but I need to discuss one !

    58flyer replied to aphi~gn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as recent events on this forum have shown, male medical modesty seemed controversial enough and generated some lively

  9. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    You make a very good point multi. I wonder how often fear of the treatment can lead people to refrain from getting care when needed. I mentioned in a prior post about my involvement in an aircraft...

  10. Trauma Naked?

    58flyer replied to mark90's topic in General Nursing

    That's certainly the truth! I worked police security for many years in a level 1 trauma center in a major city. I noticed the trend that the female patients are given greater concern for their dignity...

  11. Law enforcement to nursing

    58flyer replied to Fox1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Y'all had me going on the 5-0 reference. I guess it's just not used in my area. When I worked in the big city, the police were referred to as "99". That apparently came from our signal code. Signal 99...

  12. Its True about Nurses and Tickets

    58flyer replied to ScooterNurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a law enforcement officer, I rarely ticket nurses. As I have posted elsewhere on this subject, attitude is the determining factor. A crappy attitude will get a ticket every time, even if it's...

  13. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Did he say why the pain was inflicted? Was it an erection issue or something else? Scary to think someone would do that to a 13 year old (or anybody) unless there was some medical

  14. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I wasn't in any position to do anything about it. I thought it was my fault and blamed myself, and it was just too embarrassing for a teenage kid to tell his mom what happened. Dad had...

  15. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Leslie, you sound like an excellent nurse. We need more like you. :) Even if you can't accomodate the patients' wishes at the time, just taking the time to listen and doing the...

  16. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    58flyer replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to what you would do if you encountered a patient, such as myself, who might say, "look, there's just no way I can allow a female to do this intimate procedure." How would you...

  17. Are Polygraph Exams always required for RN positions?

    58flyer replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Correctional

    I'm not really sure what becomes of the info. I'm sure there is some policy on it regarding confidentiality because there is stuff divulged that no one needs to have access to, especially the news...

  18. I need encouragement.....

    58flyer replied to charlottegirl's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I hate to admit it, my mom had a vote in my decision to drop out of NS way back when . Now I regret not pressing on. Funny thing is mom really didn't like my alternate career choice one...

  19. Are Polygraph Exams always required for RN positions?

    58flyer replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Correctional

    The people who do the polygraphs are sometimes hired from outside the agency. Even if they are in the same agency you see very little of them since they are off in their own little world. That was the...

  20. Are Polygraph Exams always required for RN positions?

    58flyer replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Correctional

    I'm no labor lawyer so I can't give a definitive answer. I suppose it depends on the position you are seeking. I only speak from experience since I have had 4 polygraphs in my life, the last one in...

  21. Are Polygraph Exams always required for RN positions?

    58flyer replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Correctional

    I'm not sure if it's always true, but I'll bet it's true most of the time with these types of positions. Anytime you want to go to work for a governmental agency that involves a lot of public trust,...

  22. My Story / Mayo Clinic

    58flyer replied to buffscotty's topic in Nursing Career

    I can't believe you said that! I don't think Erlinda is being the least bit rediculous. Providing privacy is basic, fundamental stuff. It's at the very core of earning the patient's trust. No matter...

  23. Phobias anyone???

    58flyer replied to danissa's topic in Psychiatric

    Spider on the toilet! I don't like spiders either. Where we lived in Sarasota there are some strange critters, especially spiders. When I was living in Sarasota, we were getting remodeling done on the...

  24. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    58flyer replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    While I recognize that most female nurses are competent and caring, I have had just too many bad experiences with the girls. The few bad apples can ruin things for patients and medical staff. If I...

  25. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    58flyer replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, was it known when you cathed him that he was going to have surgery? If so, then why not wait until he was under anesthesia before placing the cath? If that were the case, it...
