  1. NPs working with chiropractors

    I am wondering if there are any NPs who are working with chiropractors - and what your experiences have been like. Do you feel that you are respected? Do you get the training that you need? What about continuing education? Benefits and salary? An...
  2. A New Consideration for Vaccine Mandates?

    Hypocrisy? No..... ?
  3. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    Open VAERS takes the data from VAERS and makes it understandable to people who can't do the research themselves. They are saying that you can extract the same data, yourself, if you want to take the time to do it.
  4. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    I don't have a bias. Just curiosity. You don't find it at all strange? That is a pretty big jump from where I stand? You don't think so? Do YOU have a bias?
  5. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    https://openvaers.com/covid-data/mortality Interesting.
  6. Witchcraft Resurgence

    Steroid use can increase fungal infections, as well as bacterial and viral infections, and yet they are given for EVERYTHING including bacterial and viral infections. Ciprofloxacin is not a go to for every type of infection, and IMO, should not even...
  7. Nurse Sick and FIRED: Exploring Nursing Absenteeism

    I have not been sick once, in the past five years, since I started taking Vitamin D3, 5000 units daily. Prior, I definitely was a practitioner of presentism. Now, I take wellness days.
  8. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    Not to mention, keeping this patient another night could constitute WASTE - as in "Fraud, waste and abuse". Unfortunately, it is a nurse's job to advocate for not only the patient, but also the healthcare system and the profession as well.
  9. 22,000 Nurses Refuse *Mandatory* Vaccinations

    It is actually "nearly 50 percent effective", which is a coin flip.
  10. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

    I doubt it. You can look up the law/policy on the CMS website. For a while, an MD had to sign that they witnessed the NP or a PA, but now, it just has to be the NP or PA OR an MD/DO. If I were you, I would email the company and tell them that you are...
  11. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

    A provider is required to have a face to face encounter with a patient when prescribing DME. There is a LOT of money in DME and it is probably the most common area for fraud to occur. NPs are likely victims of abuse by companies like the one you are ...
  12. Nurses are expected to have very good, if not excellent critical thinking abilities. This means that they can think ahead, and in the abstract. The OP is a patient care attendant, and possibly a very "concrete" thinker. Meaning that what the person h...
  13. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    3000 to 49,000. Seems very scientific to me! Not!
  14. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    There ARE no epidemiological reports. There is plenty of evidence that there is no real evidence. Look for yourself. Estimates are as useful as anecdotal evidence. The bottom line is: the vaccination's efficacy is highly questionable, as is the long ...
  15. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    The numbers of deaths from flu and hospitalizations from flu and "flu related illnesses" are all, basically anecdotal as well. There is as much lack of science in the influenza vaccine research, epidemiology, and reactions to (why does VAERS exist, i...
  16. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    Actually, assessment is not within the scope of an LPN practice, except in collaboration with a registered nurse or physician, although I will admit, LPNs are often put in a position to assess. LPNs collect data and report that data to the MD or RN w...
  17. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    I hate the term "passing meds" that is often used by nurses, and in my experience, very often by LPNs and their instructors. Medications are not "passed", at least not by registered nurse , they are administered, and the difference in the terms, in m...
  18. I have a feeling she went to a proprietary school, probably online. Not all are bad, and not all are outrageous. But that is outrageous, if she borrowed that money for tuition and supplies. These days, high schools should have mandatory money managem...
  19. Being called an idiot

  20. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    You are so freaking lucky.
  21. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    I would love to see you prove that it can keep others safe. And of course, I am not "self diagnosing". You might need to take a research course. And yes, my father had the original "swine flu" vaccine, in the 70s, as he was in LE, and he developed GB...
  22. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    I am not unemployed, and I don't get the shot. There are plenty of "major citations" in the Medscape Article: [h=1]Flu Vaccine for All: A Critical Look at the Evidence[/h] by Eric A. Biondi, MD, MS; C. Andrew Aligne, MD, MPH, which you can view w...
  23. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    I love how people try and "guilt" others into getting this vaccine EVERY YEAR, with absolutely NO REAL EVIDENCE of its value, efficacy or safety. And if you have ever had a serious reaction, or witnessed a serious reaction, you would see things diffe...
  24. 22,000 Nurses Refuse *Mandatory* Vaccinations

    I am simply amazed at the mass following - like pied piper. The flu vaccine is an experiment, and you are the guinea pigs. And some of you, with your holier than thou attitudes - while having done none of your own research..... you are simply repeati...
  25. If there were managers like you around, I would go back to bedside nursing.
