The nurse advised me at my sons 9month review that i have to pull the skin down on his penis to the base?
at my sons 9 month review the nurse advised me i have to pull the skin down on his penis to the base of his penis and hold for about 10 seconds i have to do this everyday. I asked why i had to do this and he replied it helps the skin stretch so he wont have any probs as an adult. I have never heard this, we live and spain and speaking to other mums it is common here. I dont feel comfortable doing this to him. I have spoken to freinds and relatives in england and they have never heard fo it before. My husband who is english has never heard of it either. I dont want to do this to him if its not necessary. Has anybody else heard of this? thanks for replying, he is not circumcised. thanks again for the answers they are very helpful xx

If he circumcised it is absolutely necessary. The skin on the head of the penis can regrow and cause a lot of problems. If it regrows from not being pulled back some children end up needing surgeries. So if he's circumcised, make sure you pull the skin back to clean it every time you change him. If he is uncircumcised, as far as I know, it's a no-no to pull the skin back. Make sure if you ever have questions to ask your nurse or doctor, so that you fully understand. You want to make sure you know the correct way to care for it hygienically, circumcised or not to avoid infections. Good luck.

Absolutely NOT! You do NOT (and SHOULD NOT) retract the foreskin on an infant! It's not meant to be separated from the head of the penis this early! It will retract on its own when your son is older. Never, EVER force the foreskin back from the penis in an infant - you can damage him!
3 :
My son's pediatricians said that the skin on his penis should go down fully by the time he is 2 or 3 YEARS old and that we should not force it down - under no circumstances. However, he is not circumcise - in that case, I wouldn't know what to do. It did happen once, that the skin slip on my fingers when I was cleaning his penis and I couldn't get it back up. It got sort of stuck down there. I had to call the doctor to get it back up. As all of this when on, blood was making his penis "enlarge" and it was getting uncomfortable for my son... It was extremely stressful. So, from now on - I never push it. I'm really careful about it. It will go down when it's time.
4 :
I have two little boys and have always been told to never ever retract the foreskin this is something they will do themselves!!
5 :
There is no way I would do that. It sounds like it could cause more problems than anything! I'm English and I've never been told such a thing. My son will be three in January and has no problems.

Retreat across New Jersey 7. Victory at Trenton and Princeton 8. British capture Philadelphia 9. The Battle of Saratoga 10. France and Spain send help 11. Winter at Valley Forge 12. The Battle of Cowpens 13. The Battle of Yorktown 14.

The only thing that I can help you with is to get you in the right frame of reference. Women in the 18th century were not military or hospital "nurses" in the sense we know today. A nurse was the caregiver to someone else's infant. Women that helped give support to soldiers in those times were called "camp followers". In later wars that term came to mean the prostitutes that accompanied armies but in the 18th century it refered to any civilian male or female that helped the cause for love or profit. Women camp followers were almost always married in order to be respectable. If a husband died she went home or remarried immediately, usualy to a tentmate of her late husband. There were no single women allowed among the enlisted men. The only single woman that might be found in a camp or fort would be the sister,daughter,aunt or widowed mother of a high ranking officer. Female camp followers cooked,hauled water and wood,laundered clothing and foraged for food to support the efforts of the soldiers. On the battlefield they along with male camp followers (surgeons, merchants, tradesmen,scouts) bravely went about unarmed tending to the wounded, bringing water to the front lines, dragging the wounded (particularly their family members or friends) out of harm's way. The "nursing" done was cleaning and binding of wounds. Most women were handy with a needle and could stitch simple wounds.Larger wounds would be cauterized by burning with brand,hot tar or hot pitch. Antiseptics and antibiotics, in fact sanitation was unknown.Women and male surgeons washed and reused bandages. So take this scene set here and apply it to whatever battle you research.

Is Spain safe for me? I am worried
Is Spain safe for me? I am worried?
Hi, my name is Magdalena and I am a Colombian girl, I work as a registered nurse in the US and here I met my boyfriend who is English. He owns an apartment in Spain in a city called Valencia so he is asking me to go with him for some months. I have been in Europe before but only to London, Belgium, Holland and France....... people in those countries are quite normal, meaning not racist or very angry but supposedly from what I saw on tv in Spain they kick foreigners in the face and spit on them and is absolutely ok by their cultural standards. sorry to generalize but I heard in Spain people are quite racist and rude so I am hesitant about going there as I am not like a blonde haired blue eyed european (from my understanding they only like u if ur like german or swedish or stuff like that) I really dont wanna go spend my money in a place where I'll be mistreated..... my boyfriend claim I'll be ok, but I dont know.... I wanna hear less biased opinions.

Hi!... I'm mexican, and this year I'll visit to Spain, that will my second visit. I've had heard the same, and before I visit the country I was worry as u are now, but, besides accidents can happen, normaly, spanish people is nice. Of course they tent to think ALL LATINAMERICANS we are possible illegal inmigrants, I have heard mexicans were not considered on this categorie, but in several times I was taken as southamerican (everyone who knows the continent knows that Mexico is not southamerica), and since this condition, I can tell u that I was very well treated. My best friend lives in Córdoba, She's doing P.H.D. studies and she has not complains. My best wishes for your holidays with your boyfriend, btw, mine is spanish

Oh, we're not racists!!! Yes, there are racist Spaniards of course. But there are racist latin Americans as well!!! We just have an inmigration problem (too many inmigrants and little control) so, the situation is a little uncontrolled, and most Spaniards tend to think that a lot of latin Americans are possible illegal aliens as someone has said on the previous answer. But we share a lot of cultural similarities with latin America, so we're like brothers and sisters!!! Average Spaniards are friendly and polite, it doesn't mean you can't find rude Spaniards, but as you've said, it is a generalization, so it is unfair for us. There are good and bad people just like in every country. Don't worry and enjoy Spain. To kick someboy's face or spit in someone is not OK by our cultural standards, and they musn't be on any nation's standards!. That's truly rude!!! PD: Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, and has everything so I hope you like it!!

Okay, I have blonde hair, green eyes, fair skin, and a decidedly American accent. NEVER NEVER NEVER experienced, heard of nor seen ANYTHING like what you describe. First of all, you are Spanish speaking, and will surely be quite welcome there. I have ONLY had good experiences in Spain...people wonderful, warm, loving, generous, caring. I have NO IDEA where you got this idea. Now, thirty - thirty five years ago, I was told it was accepted to spit on the gypsies...I never saw it happen. (and, to be honest, they aren't sitting with their hands out anymore, either...at least they now have SOME semblance of working for a living.) There is SOME prejudice and looking down on the shiftless and the illegals (they have just as much of a problem as we have here, in the US), except their problems is with the Africans who cross at Tarifa looking for work. Most of these guys wind up selling stuff on the beaches and at the restaurants' sidewalk and terrace seating. Some live by sleeping on trains without paying for tickets. There are indigents everywhere. What you talk about is a problem with the expats who live near Málaga, where there may be some ill-will, but I cannot believe that the behavior you describe is accepted anywhere in Spain. You won't be mistreated. I doubt very much that there are ANY such problems in Valencia. They are very modern and industrialized in Spain, and you are more likely to run into prejudice in France and Germany than in Spain. (particularly violence). Such things are terribly frowned upon. Besides, Valencia has just opened this huge, modern science city, held the Yachting race last year, and trying to hold their own as an up and coming toiurist center, and they are going to be very aggressive about protecting the tourists who are visiting such sites. I really wonder what report you saw? Kicking someone, for any reason, would be considered assault, and a jailable offense. No. Spaniards are very welcoming, and you should feel very much at home there. You might even find a few fellow Colombianos working there. I met one in the bar I hung out in in Madrid last year.

Spain is a country that has accepted foreigners of all kinds, colours and creeds for decades. There are people here from half of the world and most get along well with everyone else! I myself am north american/ french (mitad-mitad) and I married a spaniard 36 years ago... I've been here ever since. My daughters godmother is from Peru, she married a spaniard and has lived in Valencia for the last 30 odd years... sin problema... The racist problems are in the parts of the country (mostly Madrid & Barcelona) where latinamerican immigrants kids have formed the Bandas Callejeras similar to those in the USA like the "Latin Kings". So far they are not too bad, but every time they do something outrageous, it evidently gets in the daily news... And the spanish groups of skinheads that go after them are no better. But on general terms, Spain is no more dangerous than any other country in the western world, and actually it is probably safer than many! No te preocupes...y disfruta de tu viaje a España!!! Es un pais genial!!! PS... Valencia is a lovely city there are plenty of great things to visit. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the beaches, the port area... Plenty of things to do and see if you come to Spain on vacation!

"in Spain they kick foreigners in the face and spit on them and is absolutely ok by their cultural standards" that shows how much u know about our "cultural standars" es injusto decir que todos los españoles somos racistas, seria como decir que todos los colombianos son traficantes de droga, los alemanes borrachos etc seguro que tienes más posibilidades de que te escupan, te den una patada en la cara o te peguen un tiro en US que en españa

All I have to say is.....you live in the US, a country that is filled with immigration and racists. And I know this because I live in LA. I am surrounded by immigrants and I'm also surrounded by people who absolutely hate them! Spain is my country, I lived there for 16 years of live and it is a great country to be at. Great culture and amazing people. If you start comparing Spain and the US, you'll be way better off in Spain.

Being African American and Spanish I've had absolutely no problem in Spain I have family who lives in Sevilla and go to visit them every year. Trust me people in Spain are really nice and i will guarantee that you will have a great time.

I want work in a hospital abroad, what qualifications would I need
I want work in a hospital abroad, what qualifications would I need?
I am thinking of becoming a nurse and hopefully once I have got all my qualifications I could move to either Italy or spain (I'm half Italian, half Spanish so I can speak both languages fluently and have large family who I could stay with) and do work there. So, to do this what qualifications would I need? Would I have to go to uni? And do what course? For how long?? Please answer as many of my questions as possible. Thanks in advance, Lucia

It's shocking that those two first answerers didn't answer your question at all.. or even help for that matter... anyway. If you want to come an ADN(you can get this at a technical,2 year college) or BSN(some 4 year colleges offer this program, but you may have to find a medical college), first find a program, (they pay the same, BSN's work in hospitals usually and can advance easier, and ADN's can work in doctor's offices, schools, government facilities, stuff like that- with either degree you can become an RN) but check with whichever program you go into if they have information on "traveling nurse jobs" it's really what it's called. But you probably could just get your degree and then just go on over there.
