    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Got mine Friday evening. Saturday, arm was sore (on par with the flu shot) had a headache, bit of a scratchy throat, and just felt tired. Went to bed at 8 and slept for 12 hours. Sunday, felt fine.

    Masks and sore throats/sinus issues?

    With the N95, yes to the sore throat. It's super annoying. Some days it's worse than others and I wonder, Rona, is that you? Nope, just the mask.?

    Rehab Nursing, Not a good fit?

    The Face of a Medical Error...

    Came to say what IrishIzRN did, and I am pleased to hear that your co-workers are holding you up, rather than yanking you down. Keep your chin up!

    The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    I am teased constantly at work because I label my pens (actually, everything) with my name. 3 times around the pen with those printed out sticker thingies. They are difficult to remove, and I haven't lost a pen in years.
