  5. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    indigo girl replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Airborne as well as droplets hence the need for the N95 mask. If it was just droplets, CDC would only recommend the surgical mask. Fomites are supposed to be a third method of spread of what is...

  13. Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    indigo girl replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you. I didn't use a mask the last time I was in a room with two nursing home patients that had it. Less than 48 hr later, I was sick too even though I had been super careful with gloves, and...

  14. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    indigo girl replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are very welcome, Woodenpug. We have not always agreed in the past, but I think we are mostly on the same page now. Referring to the Effect Measure commentary, it is very true, that you cannot...

    indigo girl replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, you can copy the links to the CDC guidance to show them, but, if that does not help, you can go on down to your local big box store, think Lowe's or Home Depot, and head to the paint department....

  17. What is happening in your hospital? Not using N95 mask, NO screening for H1N1 ,

    indigo girl replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your facility is not following the CDC guidelines. How they are getting away with this, I don't know. I suggest copying the guidelines, and asking why them about it. The facilities have been given a...

    indigo girl replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, on the eyeshield to protect you from infection via the lacrimal ducts. But, it is not just droplets, hence the IOM, and CDC recommend the N95 mask based on the latest research. If they are still...

    indigo girl replied to GFzalez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No evidence given, but two different opinions. Influenza is not a pleasant disease for most, but the majority of us get over it with no ill effects. The question is is, is it a mild illness? That...
