    kerussll replied to kerussll's topic in First Year After Licensure

    kerussll replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't know HPV had been linked to cancer in men. I'm glad they can be vaccinated too now. Of course this vaccine won't protect everyone in every case, just like all vaccines won't. That doesn't...

    kerussll replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because HPV really isn't harmful for boys. They don't get cancer from it like girls do. It would be great if they could be vaccinated too, but I don't know if this is approved for

    kerussll posted a topic in General Nursing

  16. can someone review my resume?

    kerussll replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks a lot for looking it over. I do feel like it is a bit too long. I think I will combine the volunteer and work section and remove a few of the jobs that have nothing to do with nursing. I'm also...

  17. Anyone have any words of wisdom re: ECT?

    kerussll replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    kerussll replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    I watched an ECT during my clinical rotation in psych. It was really fast and slick. The patient was out, bagged for a bit, the only evidence you could see of the seizure was his toes twitching. He...
