I hope my response does not offend anyone, and this opinion is specifically for elective C-sections- they should be outlawed. Doctors who push them for easy scheduling or insurance/ money purposes should have their licenses taken away, and women who do not want to give birth to a baby should not have a baby. It is in my opinion that our bodies were made to have children, and unless there is a medical emergency there is no reason to interfere. My mother's first child was a breech lady partsl birth, and my stepsister delivered a 12 pound baby lady partslly- these days a doctor would have pushed a C-section on both of them. Somehow they were just fine.

I am truly sorry for all of your losses... my heart goes out to her son. We mothers know that we would always give our lives for our children, but so few actually do it. I am fighting back my tears.

:anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom: You can do it! Think of how far you have already come...

YIKES! That is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. The unfortunate thing is that I am imagining that many of these incidents could be prevented if the establishment cared enough to spend a bit more money on more staffing/security. My heart goes out to you and all of your colleagues.

:rotfl: My dark humor might be shining through- but that is hilarious! But seriously, to Gonzo, I am hoping nothing bad comes out of this situation. I have no words of advice to give you. My last stalker left me alone only after my scary looking friends with big muscles and tattooed faces kindly requested that he stop bothering me. I consider myself lucky that he listened.

After some research, the best I can come up with is that it is the Lutheran Hospital Facility, and LU is the coding for that... if it is the ad that I found, it is surgery dept... hope that helps! Good luck! I hope you get the job!

Oh dear! I do hope you don't get the flu... but congratulations on your pregnancy! I do feel for you- being pregnant and having the flu would be no fun for you or your baby. What you said about being able to pick it up anywhere is true though, but it can be frustrating when you are taking as many precautions as you can and it seems like your efforts are futile due to another person's mistake. But mistakes do happen, just know that you do your best, and that is all that you can do. Just wait until your baby finds some piece of yucky garbage on the ground as a present for you, and promptly puts his or her hands in the mouth after delivering the gift to you... I lose my mind every time (on the inside)!:rollGood luck and keep us posted- maybe pregnancy has given you immunity of steel!

Yikes! You have probably already had your test by now, so my reply will be in vain, but I have had a lot of recent experience with flashcards. Everyone in my class seemed to have a different approach to them, but for me, the making of the flashcards helped me more than the studying of them afterward. The time I spent photocopying pictures, whiting out words, gluing to index cards, and writing the information was invaluable. Sometimes if my exam was soon, I never even used the flashcards I made, but I somehow knew all of the information. After my exam, I would loan my flashcards to a friend in a different section- she learned by looking at them. I wish you the best on your exam- you will make it through! :)

In response to the OP, I am just in school, but the school is requiring both the seasonal and the H1N1 vaccinations. We can sign a waiver if we want, but then we will have to wear a mask all day in clinicals. We will only be allowed to remove it for lunch. I am opposed to mandatory vaccinations, but I understand and support the reasoning behind it, and had my first flu shot ever this fall. I will also get the H1N1 vaccination, but I am a little afraid of that one.

Viewed as unprofessional = discrimination Should a person with tattoos or gauged ears also sue an establishment for asking that they be covered or removed? Both originated from tribal peoples and some people have them for spiritual reasons. Or are just some forms of discrimination OK while others are not? Just food for thought...

I feel that discrimination based on body modification is as deplorable as any other form of discrimination. That being said, all forms of discrimination unfortunately still exist. Your son should do as he wishes, and if he does encounter problems, he can always purchase some hider plugs (see link below). You said he wanted a small gauge in his lobes, so hiding them should not be too much of a problem. Of course, small to him might be much different than small to you.
