    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a big difference in injecting something jato the body and driving down the road. There just

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Vaccines are very much more of an individual freedom. We are asking people to inject something into their body. We aren't asking them to just slow down. Big

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But the world isn't full of nurses...we can't expect everyone to act as if it is. If my neighbor doesn't want to vaccinate...that is their choice. It doesn't mean they need to bend to the nursing...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We can't expect parents to trust medicine or big pharma 100%. We told them Tamiflu was safe an effective. It isn't. Newest Cochrane report shows the manufacturer of Tamiflu didn't tell the entire...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Devil's advocate...why should the anti-bad parent keep their kid home? Why does the right of the other child trump the rights of the anti-vaxer's child? Maybe the child with the compromised immune...

    School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    IrishIzCPNP replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    Better make sure that whatever you are doing is legal! It doesn't matter if an RN trained you or if you are trusted. It is illegal for you to do many things an RN does. Also, please know that taking...

    Will LPN's be around for long?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am an RN who did a diploma program first and then an RN-BSN program. It is more than just underwater basket weaving. It is a shame those nurses don't value their

    do you wash your hair every day?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It can take a while for the body to adjust for some people...like weeks. It is the same thing for the face actually. Stop overdrying...get rebound oil but give it time and it all balances

    do you wash your hair every day?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can try it whatever feels best. If you go cold turkey it will be quicker but for some people it can take a week or 2...others a day or 2. I did cold turkey and was good in a matter of days. I...

    School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    IrishIzCPNP replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    I would be tempted to send a very professional letter to the parents simply stating that if at any time they would like to question the policies and procedures of the school you would be happy to have...

    ? for L&D nurses from a preggo nurse

    IrishIzCPNP replied to karma624's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Former L&D nurse... What you learn in school is very little...and has nothing to do with being the patient. What are your plans for your birth? Medicated or not? Planning to breastfeed?...

    Will LPN's be around for long?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It depends on where you live and what you want to do after you graduate. Here LPNs are pretty much gone from hospitals so the job options become more limited. There are doctor offices and LTC...

    do you wash your hair every day?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bet if you stopped washing you would find that this stops being an issue. If you have very oily hair it may take a solid week or 2 of not shampooing to get your body to adjust. When you strip...

    do you wash your hair every day?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Not greasy at all. Actually, stripping the natural oils from your hair every single day is what will cause your hair to be more greasy. If you decide to toss the shampoo you may find the first few...

    I used to use Wen but it was so expensive...and I have a ton of hair. I actually started using a regular conditioner and got the same affect. I also tried DevaCurl products...OMG their stuff is...

    That's a little spooky. I got perinatal nurse. I was an L&D RN and I'm an IBCLC. I also got PNP...working on that and not too far from being done. It's a little freaky with all the...
