  1. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Robmoo replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's only CNN, they are "fake news." ? Let's hope that this article is inaccurate and that a strain hasn't become more

  2. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Robmoo replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The answer to the question is "no." RNA is not capable of altering DNA. The tech is not new. It started development in 1989 and has been used to treat cancer. This is a new application of a...

  3. I'm a sexless nurse, part 2

    Robmoo replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm at work I'm a nurse first and my gender comes second. However, if a patient would be more comfortable if a test or procedure is done by the same sex than I'm happy to do what I can to...

  4. Medication Error in School

    Robmoo replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    The policy clearly states that it is the parent's responsibility to bring the medication in its original container. Was the pill round and white with TRAZO stamped on one side? Was it...

  5. Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    Robmoo replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    I bet that they were given legal advise not to discuss the issue on social

  6. Tips for Avoiding Medication Errors

    Robmoo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    First, you need to make sure that you are following your facility's medication administration policies. This should include safe practices to reduce the risk of medication errors. Second you...

  7. Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    Robmoo replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm waiting to hear how this one turns out. It sounds like your manager was trying to do what is in your best interest, but it backfired. Some nurses will work themselves into the ground if someone...

  8. Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    Robmoo replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to leave the bedside. You need better working conditions. In Texas when a nurse is given an assignment that they deem unsafe that nurse can file paperwork for "Safe Harbor." Most...

  9. Anxiety Over Past Mistakes

    Robmoo replied to anxiousnewgrad58's topic in General Nursing

    There are few different approaches to this one. Are you a Christian? If yes, have you prayed for forgiveness? If yes then God has forgiven you, why do you refuse his grace? Mya...

  10. Multiple doses in same syringe?

    Robmoo replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager he sounds like a wise experienced nurse. Most of the PACU environments that I've worked in have operated this way. That being said, what do your policies say? If a major mistake...

  11. Vaccine Hesitancy

    Robmoo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Last Monday I vaccinated one of nurses who check marked "yes" to being pregnant. I asked if her OB had cleared her to receive the vaccine and she stated, "Oh yes! and my OB is pregnant and she has...

  12. Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    Robmoo replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd like to post a few words from the famous poet Danny Elfman. You worry too much You make yourself sad You can't change fate But don't feel so bad Enjoy it while you can It's just...

  13. Rural Health Nursing

    Robmoo replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    The challenges in access to health care are large the fault of our system which pays less for health care delivered in rural areas. We have many nurses who drive in an hour or more because they can't...

  14. Trying to get into the ICU but no luck as a new grad

    Robmoo replied to guest1076655's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't get into the ICU straight away which is not unusual then Telemetry is the best way to go. Skill with cardiac patients is a valuable step up into ICU. Since you don't have that choice...

  15. Not receiving desired assignments but receiving unwanted assignments?

    Robmoo replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the person making your assignments does not much like you. Try to appear happy with COVD patients and quit asking for other assignments. If your assignments suddenly change you'll...

  16. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Robmoo replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Supreme Court of the United States didn't agree with you. https://reason.com/2020/04/30/when-the-supreme-court-upheld-a-compulsory-vaccination-law/ No one will likely make it compulsory...

  17. What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    Robmoo replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    The BON would probably investigate. If they could find no evidence and/or documentation, they would likely not pursue the complaint any

  18. What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    Robmoo replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    What is you facility policy and why has your manager not taken action? Our policy is coaching, verbal counseling, written counseling, final counseling and then dismissal. This process is usually...

  19. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is an application of technology that is 30 years old. The technology is not new. Not 90-95% effective because it hasn't been out for a year? Scientific studies say that you are wrong....

  20. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Frankly, I don't think that they should make the vaccine mandatory. Once we get to a point where anyone who wants the vaccine has had easy access for 3 months remove all restriction and let the chips...

  21. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, Libertarian. Follow the evidence. The Autism Science Foundation page has links to many peer reviewed articles regarding autism and vaccination. Aluminum and autism? We are exposed...

  22. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Autism? Seriously? You do realize that the study that showed a link between vaccination and autism was pure junk science. The study cost the doctor who ran the study and several scientists their...

  23. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

  24. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here is a little light reading. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2028436?query=featured_coronavirus This RNA technology isn't new....

  25. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The flu vaccine is mandatory at my hospital. They used to just make people who didn't get vaccination wear a mask. I guess that was no threat for this year's vaccine, so they said get it or you're...
