  1. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Do you even read? I am not saying the default for the United States is not for circumcision, I am saying those people who omit to decide whether to circumcise are defaulting to not circumcise. And...

  2. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    The default isn't FOR circumcision, the default is for NOT circumcising. To omit to decide whether to circumcise is defaulting to NOT circumcising. Furthermore, to make a decision, benefits are not...

  3. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, my point was not whether we SHOULD feed our children, it was WHAT we should feed our children, which is very relevant. An infant is able to thrive purely on formula, but there are plenty of...

  4. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I've read through this entire thread and the consensus I see is that some believe parents should not be able to choose whether to circumcise. However, is there any reason why having a infant...

  5. The "increase minimum wage" issue.

    phuretrotr replied to shermrn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Or, people making minimum wage will just cut their hours and still collect benefits while profiting from their job. Work less = Same paycheck value = Same government assistance

  6. Starting a (hopefully) fruitful career!

    phuretrotr posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    ***DISCLAIMER*** I have used the search bar in hopes of finding sufficient answers before posting but seem to not really be getting at what I want! I recently accepted a job offer in an OB unit and...

  8. Need help finding a palliation issue

    phuretrotr replied to Tammy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you want a different topic, you could talk about the "burnout" associated with nurses/healthcare workers who experience it and what could be done to release emotions when dealing with palliative...

  9. Need help finding a palliation issue

    phuretrotr replied to Tammy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am not sure what you mean by "palliation" issue. Like palliative care? If so, a big topic right now is "Death with Dignity" and whether people with terminal illnesses should be able to decide when...

  10. HELP!! ATI comprehensive Predictor

    What were your other two attempted test scores? I took mine once and got a 97%, but on the practice ones, I got

  11. Your insight wanted

    phuretrotr replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If nursing is your main goal, I would advise to focus on your nursing pre-reqs as opposed to trying to minor in business. I am not quite sure what you intend to do with a business degree if you want...

  12. Nclex should be harder

    phuretrotr replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Funny thing actually. I don't know if the test really is made "harder" every year but our class was informed as of April 2014, NCSBN bumped the passing score of the NCLEX from 75% to 78% (?? not...

  13. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    phuretrotr replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I second that. I believe a CNA is a great part of a healthcare team but the CNA's duties are just a small percentage of what a nurse will be doing/expected to know. Yes, being a CNA's gives you a leg...

  14. Correct lab values for NCLEX?

    phuretrotr replied to tnmatt76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Exam Cram is a product of Pearson Vue and as such, I thought that Pearson Vue, who is the the company who administers the NCLEX would have the values that they deem as appropriate for all labs....

  15. Working while in school

    phuretrotr replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An option that may be available to you if your school offers it (which most do) is a work-study program. Basically, the program is part of your financial aid and the school has available positions for...

  16. Best most comfy and durable scrub pants

    phuretrotr replied to dannygirl04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It may be cliché but I love Grey's Anatomy scrubs. They are soft, movable, and they keep their color throughout multiple washings. The only problem I've ever had with them is that the bottom hems...

  17. Postpartum DVT nursing interventions

    phuretrotr replied to MissChloe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Bedrest would help prevent the clot from dislodging, not mobilize it. If you ambulate with a DVT, the clot has a chance to break off of the vein from the movement and circulate throughout the...

    phuretrotr replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does that mean that you always think I post positive stuff? Sorry, I am having a hard time deciphering triple negatives... But I'm not being negative, just pointing out that you have shown your take...

  23. PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    phuretrotr replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Reread my post and you will realize I NEVER said ALL nursing students used the PVT. I said many. And my evidence is allnurses itself. Just type in the search bar "PVT", THOUSANDS of results pop up...
