    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    lamazeteacher replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would You Accept Swine Flu Vaccine?

    lamazeteacher replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, you lost your chance to be a guinea pig - animal testing has happened as well as humans having it successfully during the research stage, without ill effect having the 2 vaccinations (that's...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    lamazeteacher replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Costa Rican president Arias contracts swine flu

    lamazeteacher replied to HonestRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks so much for the "heads up", honestRN! Pregnant women should not be tourists there, for some time! The article states a proportionately large incidence of morbidity and mortality from H1N1 in...

    IOM Webcast on PPE for HCW

    lamazeteacher replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I appreciate the opportunity to listen in to the webcast very much, indigo girl. I'm tempted to tear up to Washington, DC (an hour and a half away from me) for it, but they announced that no further...

    No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

    lamazeteacher replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    indigogirl's post #83 refers us to a newspaper item which has a slightly different approach to her quote. The heading is that this 30 year old HCW(? because it doesn't say when she worked last, before...

    H.R.3200 - America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009

    lamazeteacher replied to StatBlues's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    the democratic party supporters have the interests of all the people in america at heart, yet they aren't lying about the health care bill for their own benefit, submitting fraudulent reports, or...

    H.R.3200 - America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009

    lamazeteacher replied to StatBlues's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    are "they" our government? if so, having an attitude of "them and us" makes it very difficult for those having that attitude, to see anything right (or anything other than the republican party line...

    Any News on a Vaccine Yet?

    lamazeteacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's my understanding from reading CDC and NIH news articles, that there are several plants manufacturing the antiH1N1 flu vaccine in the US without eggs, and that is the vaccine that will be...

    The Circumcision Discussion

    lamazeteacher replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here's some common sense: Since countries where circs are routinely done, are more developed (except for the Scandinavian countries) stats are available, as record keeping is better, and computerized....

    Just had a Consent Agreement go into effect, I feel like I'm hanging in limbo

    How would a nurse mgr view this situation in interview?

    lamazeteacher replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    This is a question of "Do you want the job or not?" Mentioning a possible move is not pertinent. There's a huge turnover of nurses, and 3-5 years is rather lengthy, but it's not worth losing a...

    Disturbing Statistic..

    lamazeteacher replied to DeepFriedRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    lamazeteacher replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A pandemic is not exactly a health care model - or are you just inserting that, to get a negative view on the new health care system in? Love your smilie,

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    lamazeteacher replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ummmmm, does that mean that you'd go to work sick, possibly with H1N1? That would make you like "Typhoid Mary!" Better to have the 2 shot vaccine!!!!! It will be available in the fall, although you'd...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    lamazeteacher replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would be interesting to add, "Would you work during the A/H1N1 pandemic, once you have the 2 shots that would protect you against it?" That would bring out all the anti-vaccine folks in...

    Planning Assumptions for a Fall Wave

    lamazeteacher replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would be good to look on the positive side, too. Many people could have gotten the vaccine in September, and acquire immunity within 3 weeks of that (if that time, which is for regular flu vaccine...

    Swine Flu Vaccine

    lamazeteacher replied to ChgingmyCareer's topic in Disaster Preparation
