I am 61 and the second oldest on my unit. Was sent to float onto COVID last weekend. Pneu past 2 years, A+ blood, with a 64 y.o. husb at home. I don't complain...not then and haven't now. Being sent there the next 4 weekends and don't hear younger nurses stepping forward to cover for me."but being a Nurse means that you may have to put your life on the line to save others." Really? I want to know where it says this. I truly do. Is that what we're taught? I don't remember. Is that an oath? Is that a law...in that I lose my license if I don't? What are the parameters? I am always hearing, "You must take care of yourself, or you can't care for others." Now I'm hearing, "You must care for others 'til you die!" Well, which is it?Under oath, entire 9 hr deposition. "In a 2013 poll of the Top 50 “most influential people in vaccines,” Dr. Plotkin was voted number two, behind only Bill Gates. ...He has also served as a consultant and directly developer on several vaccines currently recommended by the CDC. While popular pro-vaccine zealots and vaccine risk deniers have locked arms in their refusal to publicly debate the many issues underlying current vaccine schedules, Dr. Plotkin’s 9-hour testimony now serves as perhaps the most damning admissions against the purported ‘settled science’ of vaccines, their safety and some of their most troubling ingredients."I imagine you will need to continue to find facilities to work in that allow for wearing masks, as ours does. I agree that everyone should be allowed to choose whether or not to accept the flu vaccine as there are risks and wearing a mask is an acceptable alternative. I work in neuro/oncology and we have had people admitted with reactions from the vaccine. Guillain Barre being one and CIDP another and both can leave one afflicted for life (there are others). Only you know how much pressure you can take from your school and how much effort you are willing in order to find that place to work. I admire you for standing your ground. Perhaps making a presentation on the reactions that can happen will make an impression? IDK.I work in oncology/neurology where we have many PICCs. We don't heparinize them. Only a central lines.Now that student has learned one of the best lessons in life. If you don't look out for yourself, no one else is. It's up to you to find the uni and the scholarships/grants/funding. It's also the lesson I learned when helping my father navigate through his care when he had cancer, and prior to my attending school to become a nurse. I now tell my patient's the they need to look out for themselves and not count on others to do it for them.I gave my initial assessment and she said that wasn't it. So, I gave her many other options as I came across them. That is why I didn't put them all "into one". I provided many more solutions than you did. I didn't "spam" her fertility...did you read what I provided? If you did, you would see that I was extremely helpful.Of course you can. By not dating "that much", waiting until you're older to marry, by choosing an older man to marry, driving 1.5 hrs to work at nursing and expecting to be in the mood to become pregnant, not exploring other options (as I have already offered). She complains about travel nursing, but says her husband can't get work if he is traveling with her. Is he working now? If not, it doesn't matter. Most of that can be subconsciously sabotaging herself. Secondly, stress *does* play a part in infertility. It plays a role in many areas of health, so why would one think that it would not affect one's fertility? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/277543.php
