    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree with this study, which showed increasing influenza vaccination rates initially decreased influenza rates by nearly 50% prior to plateauing and maintaining the reduced rate. I think we...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't seen a "unbiased and financially uncurrupt" influenza vaccination study because you chose to call every study that is at odds with your point of view both of those things. Ironically,...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting critical review of a small portion of extant RCT data. From a quick read, I think some concerns raised are valid ones. I am not sure I can fully back the authors assumption that...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Your point hasn't been made; you have provided zero evidence perhaps aside for conspiracy theory. Again, cite your evidence that there is any financial corruption or bias by the ECDC or CDC in this...

    Best Specialty for an RN before becoming an FNP?

    BostonFNP replied to Nimrodel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Focus on your school first, you have a long way to go, and in the end, any experience should be a help for you. For the most part, your RN work experience is what you make of it. Like others, I would...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    BostonFNP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why that is, you didn't cite any sources. If they are not getting published at all I would say the most obvious reason is that they lacked scientific vigor. Cite some so we can
