  1. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    2011NursingStudent replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    It is 9 years old, I couldn't find anything newer on a quick search, but the fact remains that 8 in 10 males in this country are circumcised (not infants, but males of all ages - the circ rate in the...

  2. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    2011NursingStudent replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    Data from a national survey conducted from 1999 to 2002 found that the overall prevalence of male circumcision in the United States was 79%. 8 in 10 males in this country are circumcised. Making a big...

  3. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    2011NursingStudent replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    You've said that moms are ignorant, America is ignorant, doctors are ignorant, nurses are ignorant, and finally, implied all of the above are uneducated if they would circumcise a male... because...

  6. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So glad I FINALLY get to post this, but I am accepted to my ADN program!!!!!!! Could not be happier =)

  7. Taking it again...

    2011NursingStudent replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, the ATI book had exactly what was on the exam, which makes sense since the test is from the same company. I was able to check it out free at my school's

  8. Am I fooling myself? Direct Entry PNP

    2011NursingStudent replied to gglove317's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I've applied to an ADN-RN school (should find out tomorrow), but live blocks away from a large college. I've checked out their programs and they only offer the combination bachelor's and RN to FNP...

  9. Am I fooling myself? Direct Entry PNP

    2011NursingStudent replied to gglove317's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you find a direct entry PNP program that doesn't require an RN? The direct entry programs by me are bachelor's in another field plus ADN RN to PNP or

  10. 2nd day clinical on Saturday..

    2011NursingStudent replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't make conversation while doing that, that would be a little weird. Just make it quick and do a good job. I felt just as awkward the first time I washed a male, but there were much harder...

  11. Had to leave clinical early bc of sick child

    2011NursingStudent replied to Student KMW's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about it!!!!! Your daughter HAS to come first. You can put your daughter first, not feel guilty and still make it through the program, it will work out. In my own life I found myself...

  12. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    2011NursingStudent replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bankruptcy, foreclosure & collections, LoL Other than that, yea, you're right and new grads in every field are in the same boat and will be for a while, but not

  13. Nursing School Selection Process???

    2011NursingStudent replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I can see what he asked at the end, but I think you can infer by the post that he was disappointed, crushed, near tears, wanting to know why this bad thing happened, etc, and I just think there...

  14. Anyone waiting to get into Moraine Valley's nursing program for Fall 2010?

    2011NursingStudent replied to shell4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes, the ATI book from the library is extremely helpful, everything that was on the test was in the book. It's a lot to study, but worth it. I'm going crazy myself, I applied for fall and I am waiting...

  15. Nursing School Selection Process???

    2011NursingStudent replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    No, that's definitely not mean, that's helpful advice, but the posts with "You are being overdramatic" and other statements that are clearly not helpful just seem unnecessary. I hate to see people get...

  16. Nursing School Selection Process???

    2011NursingStudent replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    People on this board are so unsympathetic. He said he almost cried, what is it that you gain from being so harsh to him? The nursing application process can be crushing. If you don't have anything...

  17. Ive decided not to go ahead with nursing school...(Rad tech or RT)

    2011NursingStudent replied to jrt71's topic in General Nursing

    My cousin graduated last year from a rad tech program and had 2 job offers within 90 days. That was in Illinois. There's also a lot you can do with mammography, ultrasound,

  18. Use of the title nurse

    2011NursingStudent replied to rn4life2009's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are saying you have to be a 10 at starting IV's - ie, they want someone good at it, but they shouldn't have implied they think of MA's as nurses. What gets me are the ads that specify a...

  19. Nursing School Selection Process???

    2011NursingStudent replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I don't think you are being overdramatic, I'd probably react the same way, wanting to cry, then wanting to ask

  20. Nursing School Selection Process???

    2011NursingStudent replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up. Our school is the same way, pretty much TEAS score only. You sound like you did really well, but since they only accept ~30 people, it sounds like you need a really competitive score....

  21. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    I've already stated, for me, I would not throw a marriage away over a man that smoked pot on occasion, and I would immediately divorce a man involved with meth. Your logic is completely flawed. Using...

  22. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's a commendable career, but without knowing the situation, I wouldn't recommend telling people that the smartest thing to do is have their family members arrested. I fail to see what that...

  23. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    That probably wouldn't do much though, unless the person was a dealer. They don't just lock drug users up in jail forever, I think its usually a fine and community service kind of thing. If anything...

  24. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if its a sibling - not much you can do in that case if they are an adult except not visit unless they agree to rehab, not give them money, and help them when they are ready for help (not...

  25. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    I don't do any of the above, but smoking pot is entirely different from meth....I think you should establish what it is first and respond accordingly. For me, meth would be reason to leave altogether,...
