    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    Glycerine82 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a procedure I believe in, although I do understand why it's chosen, so I think I would have to say No, but I already said as much in an earlier post. In countries where the procedure would...

    You leave a room after cleaning and positioning an 85lb woman who doesn't wear a brief due to poor skin integrity. Afterwards, in the hallway, someone asks what is all over your scrubs. You look...

    What to do if you failed your cna exam a third time?

    Glycerine82 replied to dakotasapphire's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Whats the problem? Are you anxious, or is there something you aren't understanding. I'm concerned that you failed 3 times. As harsh as this may seem, you may want to look into another

    Glycerine82 replied to Karolyte's topic in Orthopedic
