  1. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    phuretrotr replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well not NO one... Sometimes the fetus becomes distressed and have prolonged decelerations. When baby is crowning and crumping at the same time, an episiotomy may be needed... And be the better option...

  2. What would you have done? Episiotomy

    phuretrotr replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I always have to wonder though, if numbers are worse in developed counties, because developed countries are more likely to have a system to collect data on outcomes, thus putting forward more negative...

  3. Circ boards

    phuretrotr replied to mamagui's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When we do circ's, we don't strap the arms down. We just swaddle them. I don't really see a need to strap them

  4. How can I increase my chances of getting a job as an ob/gyn nurse?

    phuretrotr replied to Ayemee4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Best case scenario, you could get a job as a CNA on an OBGYN floor. If the manager/staff like you, once you graduate you could have a position waiting for you. Second best case, get a CNA job anywhere...

  5. Uncensored Thoughts of a Nurse Interviewer

    phuretrotr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    I kinda got that vibe too... Hosh posh any skills/knowledge, if they fit in, by golly they must be a great nurse. *Que pseudo-tearing to promote

  6. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    phuretrotr replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Well neither of these really answer or give credit to your claims about peppermint oil... I am not going to read the book but the link you provided didn't say anything about peppermint oil helping one...

  7. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    phuretrotr replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming this is directed towards me? If you are assuming I am against natural medicine, you are mistaken. I simply stated treating something without a doctor's order is outside of a nurses'...

  8. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    phuretrotr replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, so do you sit on it or smell it? Or just different routes? I could understand sitting on it, as it probably induces some type of mechanism to relax the muscles? It seems like a wide practice I...

  9. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    phuretrotr replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I don't think you have to be black and white on what your beliefs are about the use of western medicine or alternative therapies. However, depending on where you are working, I doubt that...

  10. do you wash your hair every day?

    phuretrotr replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I always wondered for people who do this, does it make their hair greasy at all? I use a normal amount of shampoo and kinda too much conditioner so my hair is not dry. However, I do notice my ends are...

  11. Just venting here!

    phuretrotr replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't understand how a job you held in high school would have any influence on your pay as a nurse, say at least 4-5 years later with your nursing education and previous RN experience? Was the job...

  12. NEED ADVICE! Which position should I accept?

    phuretrotr replied to kelly22790's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would choose the ortho floor as some of the knowledge can transfer to peds in your skill set. You won't be seeing too many strokes in the pediatric population... I hope. Although there are some...

  13. Can LPNs work in the delivery room or maternity?

    phuretrotr replied to FutureLPNty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my hospital, LPN's do not take any L&D. On only very rare occasions, we will have a LPN float to our unit to take mom-babies, but even then, the LPN's only get to do care on moms; no babies. So...

  14. Survey on infant male circumcision

    phuretrotr replied to wtbcrna's topic in General Nursing

    What is your problem? You have been the most condescending, arrogant, poster I have ever come across on allnurses. A simple, "No, I believe circumcision to be unnecessary" would suffice. However, you...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    All in all, the thread has turned into nothing logical. Everything is refuted with personal opinions or ignored, not even hitting what was being discussed. But you know what? I'm happy. Happy because...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for explaining further and I do agree in the thinking that most males are happy with their memberes. I don't think one way or the other is right or wrong but some people do think that, whether...

  17. When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    phuretrotr replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I would be mindful of where you stand right now. The OP is no newbie here, you on the other hand, this is your first post. Not knocking your experience but it isn't the best start by being new to a...

  18. When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    phuretrotr replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    This is strange. OP vents a little about CNA, gets attacked by mob of angry strangers for being too cruel about CNA... Who's attacking

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Unbelievable. So now a circumcised member is wrong? Wow. It amazes me how judgmental people can be when they are protesting for infants to be able to decide for themselves. You want people to make...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    If the CDC needs to mind their own business, so do the pro-foreskin community. Let parents decide for THEIR

  21. When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    phuretrotr replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I'm not against OP for anything. This is an isolated incident where the OP got to stick it to the man, which they though was funny... Know one knows who this CNA is except the OP. The CNA could be a...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    First people are saying circumcision should be a choice for their child. Now it's, that circumcision isn't necessary. So which is it? Why would you give your child a choice on the matter anyways, no...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    What I don't get, is those against circumcision feel it isn't necessary. However, there is data that shows it can reduce problems in the future. But if those against circumcision want their sons to be...

  24. Finishing program but very hurt and disappointed

    phuretrotr replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At my graduation, it seems EVERYBODY had a cord of some sort, some for not even doing anything for them. Well, let me be the first to tell you how weird it felt that I, one of maybe 5 people, DIDN'T...

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

    phuretrotr replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    While these things may be true, none of it is hurting the child's well-being, as with males not circumcised, they generally do not have to worry their well-being. So what's the issue? Circumcised...
