  1. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Right and I do think we all agree on that. Care itself cannot be withheld. But I also think that the OP was not really asking if care should be withheld. Just whether nurses can refuse to...

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    And you know, really, I do think this is the real crux of the issue FOR nurses who refuse to administer the vaccine as of right now. Although its currently a great tool for eradicating or slowing the...

  4. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    "At times, yes a nurse has a duty to refuse to give the vaccine. For instance, if a person is medically considered "old-old" I.e. over 85, *and* frail, I.e. exceptionally vulnerable to...

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Then why did you post a link to an article that claims such? Oh, wait. You just didn't read your own article. ...at the expense of a cohesive argument..

  6. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Again with the ad hominems about people with DNRs needing an additional mental health exam. Knock it tf off. Enough, already. And yes, in California, you do have to abide, or pass the patient on...

  7. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    So if a seemingly healthy 25 year old is rolled in with some minor injuries and has a DNR bracelet, in the state of California, and this person stops breathing, you HAVE to adhere to that physicians...

  8. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Well then I forgive you. Thank you for apologizing. Im still leaving. I just cant find a way to leave this site completely now. Im really frustrated. I feel like I have been...

  9. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Block me, you may. Baffled as you might be and all. LOL What you may NOT do is to be a total jerk just because you missed the part where Libra Nurse asked me a question. See ya

  10. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and I had initially called the agency after 15 minutes of pleading with mr tantrumer to let me give him care, and him refusing for reasons that just defy all understanding. To the point that the...

  11. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I deal with home care, so we don't have guards and security cameras and alarm buttons. We also don't have an actual nurse on site to recommend chemical restraints, but my violent one was already...

  12. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Wow thats a lot of severe violence! Yikes! How does a caregiver keep their composure during that kind of an episode, I wonder? And are initially violent types ever weaned off of the...

  13. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    To Nursel56, and anyone else that seems to be generally LGBTQphobic... FYI Libra Nurse asked me for more information to help them understand the concept of what being gender fluid, aka...

  14. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is getting me into that game now too!! It was easy to do last year!! Our little community doesnt get a lot of trick or treaters so I just tell my young mommy friends to come by and...

  15. Left patients chart at another patient’s home

    Surfin USA replied to guest1143647's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Its not a HIPAA violation in itself to have someone elses records with you in someone elses home. The violation is failing to make a reasonable effort to protect the other patients privacy....

  16. Work for multiple companies?

    Surfin USA replied to ap05's topic in Home Health

    Assuming you don't have a no compete agreement, or that you are not competing, it shouldnt make a difference. Otherwise, its probably none of their business anyways, but there can be overlaps between...

  17. Pasadena City College LVN program 2021

    Surfin USA replied to cookie123d's topic in School, College Programs

    I doubt that she is right on that. I always thought that the TEAS aptitude test was a standardized measure for any nursing program. Could be pandemic related, of course. Some colleges are...

  18. I want to leave bedside nursing

    Surfin USA replied to jrb1201's topic in Emergency

    Home care isn't bad. You do a lot more driving and the hours are longer. Otherwise, its super nice to be able to focus exclusively on one patient at a time. I switched to home care and I couldnt...

  19. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Non binary and as explained before, its a gender fluid thing. Im a mom. The pic is all me. All natural. I breastfed my son. Im a wife. Im a sister. You can call me a woman or a she. It doesnt...

  20. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Ps I am sorry for being extra angry with people on here. Today was a better day than we have had in 2 weeks, and its just been really hard on me. Hes been a grumpy little sock monkey (OK hes really...

  21. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    None, whatsoever. And I would surmise that the covid vaccine has had about as many atypical reactions as any other vaccine that HAS been FDA approved. Some people get temporary bells palsy from...

  22. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Its definitely different working in a facility vs working in peoples homes. And in a psych ward, it seems like (IDK this is just what I have seen in the movies) chemical restraints are very...

  23. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    My inner male is very attracted to you, right now, @Curious1997 Lets talk about that. Because I KNOW you would be one of many men who approach me on a daily basis, hitting on me, and not taking...

  24. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    Surfin USA replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    LOL you literally started out by saying you hit on all women, and proceded to inform us that you believe lesbians must have an innate and natural desire for men as well. Its all you. Knock...

  25. Medical Research: How Valid Is It?

    Surfin USA replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    What I find odd is that the person who supposedly peer reviewed this paper is actually a lay editor for a website called healthwatch, and someone who maybe used to be a pediatric dentist, and may also...
