Morning erections are a normal and healthy occurrence in men caused by changes in hormone levels during sleep and increased blood flow to the penis during REM sleep.

Having an erection that lasts for an hour in the morning is not necessarily a cause for concern, as long as it is not painful or accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling or discharge. However, if you experience persistent or painful erections, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

It is important to note that morning erections are not always an indicator of sexual arousal or desire, and may occur spontaneously during sleep. If you have concerns about your sexual health, talk to a doctor for advice.

I’m not Hot, not thinking about sex, not watching porn. Just scrolling through Twitter comment section and Nairaland.

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that can cause infections in various body parts, including the skin, respiratory tract, and urinary tract. It is usually treated with antibiotics (but don't just buy any antibiotics, let the doctor tell you to wish to buy not the pharmacy), to determine the appropriate treatment plan based on the specific strain of the bacteria and your medical history.

It is good that you went for a lab test and received a diagnosis. You should follow the advice of your doctor regarding the medication and injection you need to take to treat the infection. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully cured (why because you don't want the bacteria to create resistance to the antibiotics).

Also practice safe sex to avoid sexually transmitted infections with the use of condoms correctly and consistently, as well as getting regular STI screenings. Stop multiple partners or using drugs during sexual activity.

i on Easter day i went to carry prostitute and i should have resisted the urge to carry a slim one but i did it anyway, my mind wanted to suspect her because she was suspiciously too slim to be healthy.

to cut the story, i used condom but I don't know how it entered maybe when i touched the tip of my penis with my hands after removing condom.
from that day i felt small itching in the urethra but i didn't take it seriously and it persisted so on Thursday i decided to go and do lab test and the result came out today that i have staphylococcus aureus with some drugs and injection that i can use to cure it.

please who knows what is staphylococcus aureus and how can i go about to getting the drugs to use and cure it

To buy courses on Udemy or Codeacademy, you need to create an account on their website and then browse through the courses available. You can then choose the course you want to purchase and complete the payment process. Some courses may be free, but most of them require payment.

Regarding your question about cybersecurity, while having a background in web development or programming can be helpful, it is not a requirement to enter the field of cybersecurity. There are many paths to a career in cybersecurity, and some individuals may enter the field with a background in networking, systems administration, or even non-technical fields such as law or business. However, it is important to have a strong foundation in computer technology and a willingness to learn and stay up-to-date with the latest threats and security measures.

Godfullsam:
Pls how can someone buy courses on Udemy, courses and codeacademy or are they free to download?

Do you need to be web developer / programmer before vying into cyber security?

😂 😂.
I was reading a book on the subject matter just recently and I'm marveled at the requirements westeen nurses or health care practitioners must meet with regards to customer care.. By western standard many nurses in Naija, or Ghana should be in jail or de-licensed.😂.
Can you imagine a nurse threatening to beat my kid sister because she was acting sluggish.. A girl who's just been diagnosed with inflammatory lung condition.. When my old man told me, how i wished i was there..

In the US, it is important to abide by the ICN code of conduct in order to maintain a nursing license. Many Nigerian nurses may have lost their certification if they were practicing in the US (but I am sure they won't because Nigerians I have seen are doing the right thing here). Going to court in the US is not uncommon, even for small matters, especially those related to non-maleficence. Patients can just bring charges against a nurse for causing side effects, such as pruritus due to medication given, and you must defend yourself by citing nursing laws related to non-maleficence. and because someone is a citizen of the US does not mean that they are all-knowing; they only know what is within their rights. Nurses are trained to determine if patients are alert and oriented, but it is still important to confirm information with patients, as in the case of a patient's name. At one time I asked for a patient name and her husband said why still asking when I have his wife's chart and her name on it, I had to explain that I know her name, but needed confirmation from her herself. Without this explanation to him, he could have reported me for incompetence.

sure I do understand the guidelines, taking pictures/videos in the patient rooms is wrong, taking pictures/videos of the patient chart is wrong, and lots more, I studied nursing there so I know a lot of ethical principles.

fkj950ax:
Nice initiative by your hospital, but make sure you took these photos and shared them publicly within the guidelines (if any exist or in place) of your workplace.
The US is the most legislated society in the world. Everything has do's and don'ts; rules and regulations so it doesn't become an issue tomorrow.

thesicilian:
Yeah
Life is supposed to be made easier for others, that's why it will always be preferable to practice abroad than here in Nigeria. In most hospitals here nurses are not allowed (through no fault of theirs) to take critical decisions, almost everything has to be decided by the doctor. Like that septic shock protocol you talked about, in more than 9
80% of Nigerian hospitals the only thing the nurse will do is to find the doctor and then wait for instructions. But I think things are beginning to change now, more nurses are now being trained in BLS, ACLS, PALS etc

100% correct

thesicilian:
Makes sense
Here we try as much as possible to keep most of these guidelines in our head, while over there they just place them at convenient locations for easy reference

Yes for easy reference, let me explain the grading system used in nursing schools in the US. A grade of 69 or below is an F, 70-79 is a C, 80-89 is a B and 90-100 is an A. Nurses are trained to memorize these guidelines, but to quickly act in emergency situations without having to think critically that why the poster is present. example if you see I have the septic shock on the image but I didn't snap it well, and it requires immediate attention and intervention so we rush to check for details. Nigerian nurses find it easy to practice in the US because they are able to adapt quickly because life is easy here as a nurse.

For health care workers only.

Bless God you are healthy to post Quack.

Alcohol contribute alot, it happen to me, when i stop Alcohol i cant blive how powerful i become to the extend if i wear condom i can not release except i pull of the condom, even at that it will take time for me to release.

you are right, lifestyle contributes, but the guy said he has erectile dysfunction which happens to be his diagnosis meaning the damage has occurred already and its the goal of a nurse to get the patient at wellness quickly in order not to alter his quality of life, so diet can't come first as he needs medications. I have treated patients with erectile dysfunction and administered meds to them and as a Registered nurse practitioner, I can prescribe Meds for that.

AllMight:
This morning i was arranging some clothes in my box when i felt this sudden sharp pain at my lower back, the left side. At first, i thought it was just a normal fatigue due to yesterday work. But the pain refuse to go, i can not stand or bend properly without the pain increasing. I cant even sit down, i have to lie down flat on my back to reduce the pain.

It hasn't happen before?

Please house what could be the cause and solution?

Please don't use pain medication, go to the hospital immediately to do a thorax and abdominal assessment, and scan so they could find out the issue with you.

anything that alters the quality of life is a big deal pls, let's build a healthy environment

Fawazzz:
No big deal,probably a hernia.any pics?

Senioreddy:
Good evening dear fam.
I have a two years old son. He recently celebrated his two years birthday. Just this evening I and my wife noticed that his testicles and scrotum is swollen. It was my mother
Inlaw who first noticed it then but it wasn't this big as at then.
He doesn't really feel any pains.
What could possibly be the issue here and what's the possible solution.

Please I need your advice.

Thank you.

It's important to take this seriously and seek medical attention for your child as soon as possible.

There could be several reasons for the swelling, including infection, injury, or a hernia. It's best to have your child examined by a pediatrician to determine the cause of the swelling and the appropriate treatment not by coming here for solutions as here has no solution as you would be causing more harm.

In the meantime, you can help to alleviate any discomfort your child has by avoiding tight clothing or pressure on the affected area.

Please do not delay seeking medical attention so the conditions don't get worsen over time.

For some weeks now I have been unable to renew my App store subscriptions. All these subscriptions amount to no more than $25 every month from my iCloud 200GB storage plan to Medium, Amazon Prime etc... Payments using my debit cards (GTB and Access) keep declining. The banks are saying they have no dollars to allocate. Previously there were monthly limits of $100, then later $50 which was enough to get by but now it seems there is no more allocation whatsoever talkless of a limit. How are you getting round this?

Understanding the pathology of a disease or dysfunction is crucial in identifying the appropriate intervention for any condition. In the US, we use evidence-based practice, and a systematic approach to patient care is followed. You don't just say watch diet, diet can cause stroke too so if I say my grandmom has a stroke you would tell me I should watch her diet? firstly we need to classify the disease or condition as either primary, secondary, or tertiary illness to know what would be the first line of treatment. For instance, if a patient presents with symptoms such as vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss, administering oral fluids may exacerbate the condition. As per nursing practice, the patient is placed on nothing per mouth and given fluids via a parental route. Unfortunately, this practice is not always observed in Nigeria. In the case of erectile dysfunction, monitoring the patient's diet is not the first-line intervention/treatment. If the patient has a healthy diet, they are less likely to have the dysfunction, implying that diet cannot cure the condition. Instead, the nursing intervention involves treating the patient's underlying illness, educating them on leading a healthy lifestyle and addressing their secondary illness stage.

pathophysiological mechanisms that can contribute to ED:

Neurological factors, Vascular factors, Hormonal factors (and someone mentioned this one that post), Structural factors, Medications (remember the guys said he has been using meds upon meds.)

Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as hypertension or diabetes (here medication would comes before diet), treating hormonal imbalances, or switching medications.

Lol….

Yes, you can quote me anywhere, I speak based on my practice and evidence-based practice, and I'm a License nurse in the US.

popesco123:
Ok. Thanks. Is it visa free from Nigeria?

quote author=favourRN post=122575167]

their certificate is valuable globally for sure but to be Rn-nurse you need to write up the licensing exam in whichever other country you want to practice, i.e if you want to be a registered nurse within the Caribbean which includes Barbados you just need to do RENR exam, but for countries like Canada and USA - Nclex exam, why in the UK NMC exam as ordinary certificate cant make you a licensed nurse.

yes, visa-free, you don't need a visa but communicate with your school in Barbados so they can give you the list of documents to be showing the immigration officer at every country to transit.
