  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm really glad to hear this. Maybe your babies are treated better, because they are already in a fragile state? Do the docs wait until the local takes effect? I still don't think it's right even with...

  2. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It may be wise for you to retake Biology 101. Yes, we have the ability to think before we act, but this does not change the hard wiring in our brains, especially when it comes to procreating. All...

  3. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think your statement to mavans is extremely arrogant. It's very disrespectful of you to advise him to seek treatment for something that he feels was taken from him that was rightly his. He didn't...

  4. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The child I saw was in extreme distress, and passed out (fainted, lost consciousness, closed eyes, head fell back on the restraint board, neck tipped to one side for approx. 10-15 seconds), then...

  5. Which NCLEX review books are worth the $$?

    RN mom of 2 replied to Joydancer23's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I had that as part of the course. It was a self study program where you go to the center as much as you'd like and listen to CDs, take computer generated tests and study from the review book....

  6. Which NCLEX review books are worth the $$?

    RN mom of 2 replied to Joydancer23's topic in General Nursing

    I should have mentioned in my first post that I only took the Kaplan course after I graduated nursing school, in order to prepare for the NCLEX. I can't recall if I used a book to help me study during...

  7. Is it too soon to feel like this?

    RN mom of 2 replied to Diva Nurse Dani's topic in General Nursing

    A dear friend of mine has been a nurse for 10 years. She did med-surg for 5 yrs, then ambulatory surgery (after care) 4 years, and when that dept closed she went to an oncology clinic. It is in a...

  8. Which NCLEX review books are worth the $$?

    RN mom of 2 replied to Joydancer23's topic in General Nursing

    I took the Kaplan course and it helped me a lot. I passed the first time with just 76 questions. Best of luck to

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for quoting me. Let me clarify my statement. I replied yesterday and lost the entire post in cyber-space! Here it goes again... When I said, sick, I purposely put it in quotation marks,...

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Could you please quote what you are referring to? I'm actually quite compassionate toward the African people and their plight, but I'm also realistic in terms of what problems are affecting their...

  13. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unfortunately, when something is taken from you without your consent it is in fact "stolen" from you. Sadly, it's not a material item, but a body part. We have just accepted over the years that it's...

  14. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, one of the reasons men who have been circ'd continue to defend it is, because the reality of something being stolen from you at birth that was your God-given right is too painful to fully...

  15. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Seriously, bless your heart! My hubby felt the same exact way. Once he heard about the baby passing out he wanted nothing to do with

  16. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you even seen a circ performed? I have, and this baby passed out from the pain with a local. The doctors are known for not using enough, or not waiting long enough for it take effect. Time is...

  17. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i'm sorry, but this is the kind of illogical thinking that really upsets me. it doesn't hurt, or cause you to pass out from shaving your legs! hair grows back, but a foreskin does not. why don't we...

  18. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    HALLELUJAH!!! I am SO with you on this. I witnessed a circ in nursing school that shook me to my core. Ever see a tiny baby pass out from the intensity of the pain? I did...and it was mortifying!...

  19. How are you judgemental?

    RN mom of 2 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    You can't save people from themselves. As far as I know it's called being a nurse. It's what we signed up for. I can understand venting to others privately, but not in the workplace, or where...

  20. How are you judgemental?

    RN mom of 2 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Oh...I guess I did spell judgmental correctly! See, all this spelling talk has me sooo confused. It doesn't take much to get me confused!! Where's that fish......?? I'm going to hit myself with...

  21. How are you judgemental?

    RN mom of 2 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    "Thank you RN mom of two, That was beautiful." :) "I'm judgmental of spelling errors . . .(judgEmental) . ." Sorry....happy fingers! I usually catch them. I spelled loser wrong, too. My

  22. How are you judgemental?

    RN mom of 2 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good topic, because I think as nurses we aren't supposed to judge our patients, but human nature makes us judgmental in some ways. I am bothered by pg women who are smoking, drinking etc.,...

    RN mom of 2 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

  25. Question for NICU nurses...sorry it's long

    RN mom of 2 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for all the great advice. :) Anal retentive (LOL) just about sums it up! The more I think about it, the more I want to be NICU nurse. I'm still scared, but your words have given me a lot of...
