  1. Too young to be a nurse?

    JanisM replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Don't listen to her. I'm a 39 yr old student nurse, and in my opinion most of the young girls in my classes will make wonderful nurses as they are caring and compassionate. You keep going and ignore...

  2. My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    JanisM replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You are an angel. I don't know how I would cope with your situation, but I am glad the little girl has someone like you caring for her. I like the idea of a diary to either write or draw in, but the...

  3. The Circumcision Discussion

    JanisM replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This comment gave me a laugh. I remember having an ultrasound for my 2nd son (now 18 yrs old) and asking what sex he was. I was told they couldn't tell because his hands were covering his genitals. I...

  7. The Circumcision Discussion

    JanisM replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't realize my words would anger so many people, and I did not mean to accuse anyone of not loving their children. But I stand by the fact that my children were born perfect, and any changes to...

    JanisM replied to gwenith's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Hi everyone, I don't really have anything to say today other than how great this forum is. I'm new to allnurses but already

  9. Do any of you feel that you will not like a career in nursing?

    JanisM replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    I agree with you, I don't know how you can be a good nurse unless you are passionate about

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    JanisM replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only reason I can see for circumcision is to make parents happy. I refused to mutilate my boys and their father is also 'intact'. Of course they were taught strict hygiene-they would have whether...
