  1. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    When you say the flu sweep through your unit--was it confirmed to be influenza or was it flu like symptoms? Sorry I dont mean to be a pain--but since this is a vaccination thread I though it would be important to compare apples to apples. I too, are...
  2. Anticipated nursing research topic

    Circumcision itself is a surgical procedure. Post procedural care of the procedure is where Nursing enters. Perhaps a paper looking at some cultures aversion to circumcision compared to those that accept circumcision and the health problems associat...
  3. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    Thank you MarieBailey, a pick me up is well received. I am so glad to read that report. It was a an eye opener for me also--so to speak. I believe we think somewhat alike in that I have never thought that the this vaccination didnt have a place in ...

    I give up. Just--- everyone go take the flu shot. What do we nurses know anyway.
  5. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    Wow. Just because I am not in favor of a mandated flu vaccination means I am willing to risk infecting a patient? per your post--" it is surprising that those so willing to sacrifice patient safety to make a questionable supported point about perso...
  6. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    not applicable--you would have never graduated from any Nursing school with those beliefs. But get real--what hospital really enforces proper hand washing!! They should, and at times they make a few minor efforts to do so--but they only advise that y...

  13. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

    anytime there is an avoidable change in condition of your employment and the end result for example is that a person with a higher salary ( been there longer) is replaced by a lower salaried person ( new hire) then yes that is illegal. The trick que...
  14. Nurses fired for refusing flu vaccine

    MeggieA--I dont know if I know you? Great minds think alike? lol:) I live in Ga. I am glad you see the points I was trying to make in my post. If Nursing is to be accepted by other "professions" as a true profession ( sadly many times it is not) we...
  15. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines
