I do say only positive things. I am not an evil stepmom, and I only have their best interests in my heart. This issue worried me, to say the least, and is only one more thing at the top of a big pile over the years. I stay farrrr away from her, and can't be all that bad if they wanted to live here with me and their father. The only thing that bothers me, however, is that not ALL of you are saying it's okay. There were a few people who couldn't believe the rest of you were doing this. Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing, but I'm wondering if there's different rules in different states? Anyhow, thank all of you for your thoughts, it helped ease my mind a little.

Your post oozes of disdain for your children's bio mom, very sad. She may not be perfect but she obviously cares for her children and was trying to help them in some way. There are always two sides to every story, maybe she visits this site and will give us hers.

Well nurses are certainly not infalliable....The important thing to look at here is that no one saw a problem with an RN administering vaccinations at home. The difference of opinion came when people started talking about simultaneous vaccinations, and the few people who disagreed were simply misinformed. I think LaneyB pretty much settled this. She posted several replies, each with good information mainly from the CDC [which is pretty much the definition of a reputable source]. In case you didn't see it, here is her closing post: Not to be completely obnoxious, but again, please give me one REPUTABLE source that states you should not give simultaneous vaccines to children. It has nothing to do with inexperience - it has more to do with evidence-based practice. At the current time both the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (and ACIP) recommend simultaneous vaccination of children.
There you have it. I don't see how you can continue to find a problem with the simple matter of an RN administering vaccines, unless you really are just looking for a way to create trouble for the kids' mother.

Re: Is This Ethical?
I'd like to know why she or her husband can't pick up the phone and talk to the mother of these kids like adults? Ask her "The kids said that they'd gotten some vaccines while visiting, is there anything we should be watching for? And, how did the visit go, any concerns or worries on your end?"
How hard is that?

Working in a doctor's office, I've given two while the nurse on the other side of the child gives two.
2 + 2 = 4
And when my daughter and I were getting ready for our trip to Vietnam - we got more than a few at a time.

Re: Is This Ethical?
I do agree that the info should have been passed on.
And divorce and remarriage and meshing stepkids and bio kids is never easy. I wish you lots of luck with that OP.
