    No Jeep, No Love: I'm Out Of Here!

    BostonFNP replied to Therese Pingatore's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have a 15 minute commute to work, about 3 exits up the highway. Both ways there is a long straight entrance ramp. That 5 seconds of the drive to work starts my day with a grin and that 5 seconds of...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    BostonFNP replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I mean healthcare is absolutely a business, and is becoming increasingly worse. Even non-profit systems have administrators making huge salaries. For me its a business because I need to keep the...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    BostonFNP replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I absolutely agree that the quality of the care (overall, in this country) is substantially less than it should be for the amount of per capita healthcare dollars we spend. If hospitals were to...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    BostonFNP replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am a partner in a independent internal med/primary care practice so I have one foot in clinical work and another in the business side of healthcare (and it's been a long time since I worked as a...

    COVID Forever Changed Our Society

    BostonFNP replied to Yvonne Hosey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We can make a pretty strong assumption about how they made their decision based on their decision: if they wanted to see the effectiveness of the vaccines, the data is readily available and only...

    Tell The World

    BostonFNP replied to CBRN09's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m curious about the inadequate pay. I don’t work as a bedside RN and I’m a long way away from that world, but I’ve always thought/felt that bedside RNs made fairly decent money. What do you...

    BostonFNP replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To be honest, there are a lot of things in this post that are just echo-chamber political junk. It is a little suspect that you state you have a legitimate medical exemption and that you are pro-vax...

    Vaccination Mandating

    BostonFNP replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't it more prudent to look first and comment second? In kids 5-11, deaths from COVID this year are tied with suicides at the 8th leading cause of death....

    Vaccination Mandating

    BostonFNP replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If your concern is that spike proteins are potential mutagens, you understand that even a "mild covid19 infection" in a young child would expose them to orders of magnitude more spike proteins and...

    Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    BostonFNP replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm going to respond to this as I would respond to a nursing student: there will be lots of things in your future that you don't know, and in the end, what differentiates a safe nurse and a dangerous...

    At War With Ourselves

    BostonFNP replied to KathyDay's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes it is. It is the definition of unreasonable ("not governed by or acting according to reason" -Merriam-Webster). If I had a history of blood clots, I'd be a lot more concerned about getting...

    Vaccination Mandating

    BostonFNP replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If only there was a self-funded, no-fault system to resolve vaccine injury petitions that did not require a petitioner to hire a lawyer and go though a lengthy traditional legal battle to get...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    BostonFNP replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The entire country is traveling by train. If you are unvaccinated right now your chance of that train crashing is 6 times higher and the chance of you dying in a train crash is 12 times

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    BostonFNP replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly, you have to be better than this. This story has been a viral social media conspiracy theory for a year now, it’s propagated by troll farms, and frankly doesn’t pass a basic common sense...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    BostonFNP replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What exactly IS an "Anti Vaxxer"?

    BostonFNP replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What would you call the people that remain unvaccinated for reasons other than medical contraindication at this point? What about the unvaccinated people that are unvaccinated for...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The "vaccine is not 100% effective" is a common excuse used by anti-vaxxers. I picked that part of your post to clarify because I think its important for other that read it and do cherry pick what you...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    BostonFNP replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As opposed to all of the other vaccines that provide 100% protection? Vaccines do not need to be (nor will ever be) 100% effective. It is irrefutable to argue that covid vaccines are not incredibly...

    What exactly IS an "Anti Vaxxer"?

    BostonFNP replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Antivaxxers, traditionally, have held to this notion that natural immunity is safe (think of parents having chicken pox parties) and vaccines are dangerous. I've never heard of covid parties but there...

    What exactly IS an "Anti Vaxxer"?

    BostonFNP replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The notion that natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity due to the risk of vaccine injury is fatally flawed in that it ignores the risk of having the natural illness, both short term and long...
