   Does the shot mess with your DNA?

   Floor_Nurse replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in COVID

   Isn't it odd that the federal government has granted legal immunity from liability to Pfizer & Moderna if something goes wrong with this particular vaccine? And now, there are numerous incidents from doctors who state that some of their pati...

   Getting fired by a patient/ family member

   Floor_Nurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

   I can tell you of another nurse I knew who was targeted. First of all, he was dispised for being a male among so many female nurses. Then, after being late for work once or twice, he let his nurse licence lapse by just one day (of course, he got take...

   Method 3 Challenging LVN-Help

   Floor_Nurse replied to mgarryrice's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I've seen an interview question like "Tell me about a time when you did something bad". Just be yourself. When you pass the NCLEX (yes, you've got this!) then you can answer those tricky interview questions know...

   Ethical Dilemma with Vaccine PPE?

   Floor_Nurse replied to CABGpatch_RN's topic in COVID

   The place where I work gets supplies (based on insurance companies approval) paid for by Medicaid. What you have described sounds like Medicaid fraud. Supplies that are intended to be used for one patient are not to be given or sold to another. Nurse...

   Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

   Floor_Nurse replied to Nurse SMS's topic in COVID

   The Covid shot must be given in an environment where trained medical staff are nearby in case of an acute reaction. A friend of mine (a nurse) was working in the hospital two weeks ago as about 1700 (scheduled) shots were given. The recipients had s...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Floor_Nurse replied to Nurse SMS's topic in COVID

    "SummitRN" stated that no one has died after receiving the Covid vaccine... that's not 100% true. According to the CDC's own website, "2,509 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine (between Dec 2020 - March 29, 2021)....

    New LVN grad, any advise?

    Floor_Nurse replied to Lexi1020's topic in LPN/LVN

    Don't "job-hop". It takes time to build a decent resume. Even if you're locked in with a good job, longevity is a plus. Read the orders several times when dealing with dangerous drugs like Coumadin.

    Good article. It looks like the beginning of some much needed data, pertaining to the "long-term" effects of the virus and treatment.

    Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Floor_Nurse posted a topic in COVID

    The way that this Covid vaccine works is quite different from the flu shot. The Covid vax. is not a (dead) bacteria or virus being injected into your body. (With Pfizer & Moderna) RNA (called messenger RNA) that's been coded in a lab goes into yo...

    Overworked LVN. Should I quit?

    Floor_Nurse replied to iisonia66's topic in LPN/LVN

    It seems like some nursing homes can't keep good nurses for long because they burn them out. There's a lot of jobs out there for LVN nurses and it's not unusual for a new nurse to "hop" around until a good/satisfying position is found. After that, tr...
