    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    IMHO, in the setting of a ongoing pandemic, every person has a responsibility to those around them to be honest about their vaccination status. I'd wager 99.9% of people that are uncomfortable...

    Do you need med surg experience to get accepted to a NP program?

    BostonFNP replied to yschon's topic in Nursing Career

    Even the best quality programs encourage graduates to take review courses and practice tests. This is true of any profession with board examinations. That being said, there is a marked...

    Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    BostonFNP replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    BostonFNP replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    You stated your program "weeds out" students to "manipulate pass rates"; that doesn't sound like the case if your cohort graduated more than 80% of the enrolled students. Any quality program is...

    Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    BostonFNP replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    FWIW, if your program did this it would lose accreditation (assuming it has it) very quickly. To remain accredited, the programs needs to have a graduation/completion and retention rates that meet the...

    CDC Reverses Testing Guidance for COVID-19

    If nobody is tested then our numbers will go to zero and we win! All but the dimmest bulbs in the lay public have the basic understanding that the virus still exists, spreads, and kills whether...

    BostonFNP replied to JVBT's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My state has made it a mandatory vaccination for school effective 1/1/2021 which has generated lots of new discussion on the topic around here. I have been encouraging all of my patients (adult...

    CDC tells states: Be ready to distribute vaccines on Nov. 1

    BostonFNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have been having this discussion quite a bit with patients and the local school medical advisory board. I am deeply concerned about political influence in the approval process, as I think most of us...

    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    BostonFNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure it does. But isolated protests pale in comparison to a fully opened state that bypassed even the WH recommended phasing where wife swaths of people refuse basic infection control. I know you...

    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    BostonFNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is incorrect on many fronts. First of all, 8% of those with confirmed COVID die. That’s with having ICU support. Second, please stop giving dangerous medical advice that has zero support in...

    Again, as you’ve been told before, these experts make recommendations to those who have the power to legislate/enact change. The fault lies squarely on those that do have that

    That is both disgusting and not accurate. You are, again, giving bad/dangerous medical advice that has zero basis in evidence. You are actively endangering
