1. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

   trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   It was one of those "voluntary" campaigns, similar to flu vaccination, that they were trying to roll out. I remember when the Administrators started talking about a "get vaccinated or lose your job" stance. I was in California and man it was going to...

2. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

   trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   I believe that the CNA stopped that initiative dead in its tracks. I've had two smallpox vaccinations in my life. Once as a child and once at the MEPS. I would refuse a third simply because it gives me the Heebie-Jeebies just thinking about the way i...

3. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

   trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   When you have a 99.019% vaccination rate, then the theoretical herd-immunity should prevent any infections. If you put 101 blue chips and one red chip in a hat, then you should not draw out 18 red chips. These were strong, healthy sailors that rece...

4. Board Ordered Mental Health/Substance Abuse Evaluation in KY

   trinitymaster replied to prefontaine's topic in Criminal

   The problem is not the fact that you had two misdemeanors, it was the fact that there was such a large time gap between the two. The board figures that if you did not learn from the first mistake that you probably did not learn from the second. My ad...

8. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

   trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

   No, I support neither as both are dystopian and fascist in nature (Think Nazism disguised as altruism). I was just stating the best answer to a misguided question. What we need to do is ask the pertinent question of "Why" the elderly are at such high...

   There were 18 confirmed cases of H3N2."...18 crew members with confirmed influenza A (H3N2) infection had received the 2013–14 influenza vaccine..." I AM NOT AN ANTI-VAXXER. Just anti vaccines that do not work.

    You put on a fresh mask each time you enter a patient's room and then remove it before performing your hand-hygiene.

12. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I never mentioned effectiveness just attributable influenza-associated deaths. In an earlier post I mentioned that the best way to protect the elderly is to vaccinate the children. They would then in essence have all of the responsibility and all...

    trinitymaster replied to wtbcrna's topic in COVID

    5 DTAPs, 4 Polios, 3 MMRs, 3 TDs, 3 Hep Bs, and two small pox vaccinations. These are the vaccinations that I am aware of being given and do not count the many that I received at the MEPS. I have been kept safe from horrible diseases thanks to the...

14. Why did you want to be a nurse?

    trinitymaster replied to cantgowrongwithjwong's topic in General Nursing

    I was 28 years old with no real job prospects and the mother of my children was in nursing school. She had money left over from the Pell Grant and said I could use it to go back to college. I already had my physics, chemistry, and biology out of the ...

15. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    trinitymaster replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    All studies support vaccinating those who care for the elderly since 95% of all influenza deaths are suffered by those 65 or older. Very few children die from influenza each year and it could be rationally argued that fewer than 50 children die of th...
