    Emergent replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    A excerpt from one of my many vintage books, this one called "The Intimate Life" copyright 1926. I have earlier medical advisors from the late 1800s that all have chapters on the dangers of...

    Man erroneously circumcised after paperwork mixup

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    My sons were not circumcised. Incidentally, the whole American craze on circumcision was started to prevent masturbation, not disease. Obviously, except for Muslims and Jews, all of Europe is...

    Emergent replied to Penelopepottery's topic in General Nursing

    Basically, you got yourself in a pickle, accruing a bunch of debt for a degree that you aren't going to be able to use. There are lots of young people in the same boat these days. My daughter got a...

    HELP QUIT NEW GRAD ICU JOB

    Emergent replied to lclapps's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You should get a lower acuity job for now. ICUs , generally speaking, have more intense personalities. You weren't ready for that. After making it through orientation and a minimum of a year,...

    starting a blog

    Emergent replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    The biggest problem with a nursing blog is that you are too restricted in what you can say. Even here under the pseudonym of Emergent (that's not my real name ?) I hesitate to share a lot of stuff for...

    Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    Emergent replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    Being old and decrepit isn't the same as being Jewish or Black. I'm over 60 btw, and fitter than most, if not all, of my colleagues. As people have said, if you are robust, then you'll be fine. If...

    Have Anxiety, Should I go to ED?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    ED is a very unpredictable specialty. I don't think it's the best choice for an anxious person. We have an anxious guy in our ED. He's never really settled in even after 2 or 3 years. I don't think...

    Family sues school district for death

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in School

    The doctor gave him a note. My question is, how could the school be to blame if this death occurred at home? Was it caused by exercise that occurred hours prior? What about the parents waiting too...

    If he wants to become immune he'll have to do it the old fashioned way; go give a big hug to someone with chicken pox. He sounds entitled about his baseball
