  1. Davita. - bad idea to work for them now?

    ink10300 replied to beeker's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I work for Healthcare Partners, (now Davita HCP) and this was news to me. Davita is such a large, world wide company. It is not going anywhere. They did settle a suit in Texas last summer for the...

  2. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, but if you read the article they are attempting to expedite and rush through the process to get a US contract. The following is not based on anything but my own opinion- but... Remember, the...

  3. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow. You must be desperate. I think that the tone and condescending attitude, shows just how much YOU have not done any research or even really read any of the posts. In fact, your inflammatory...

  4. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes.. and No - we will be dealing with them and very soon! They will be manufacturing H1N1 vaccine, right here in USA.. Take a look.....

  5. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I tested positive for ppd- and had a reaction to the INH prophylactic meds- and could not finish them because it was killing my liver- but here I am still working- should I have killed my liver on a...

  6. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    All vaccines I had already from childhood, (even the MMR- and I still acquired Rubella).. Those vaccines you are not forced to get annually. As for childhood vaccine, it is my opinion that the rise of...

  7. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ok.. Well the propaganda surrounding shots adds to the publics "panic", and I think that you have then proved my point. Educating people how to protect themselves is a much more realistic approach...

  8. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you so much for your post. Wow! These shots are not vitamins folks. You have no idea who made them, whats in them and how they have been tested and approved for safety. I'd rather take my...

  9. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It does because it is a medication- I don't get your reference, I don't see how it relates. The issue is that I do not want to be forced to put a CHEMICAL in my body for the "sake" of protecting...

  10. Mandatory Flu shots

    ink10300 replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The problem is that FORCING people to put CHEMICALS and god only knows what else, into their bodies is not ETHICAL and should be against the law. :smackingf No one talks about the potential risks...

  11. Move to FL for schooling ?

    ink10300 replied to hevnbnd4's topic in California Nursing

    Hi! I just came back from Orlando after being there for 2 years. Both Seminole and Valencia are really good. In fact most of the colleges have on-line programs, so you do 90% on line. Of course not...

  12. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    ink10300 replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  13. I might gag

    ink10300 replied to MzGurl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And here I thought I was the only one. As a nursing student in clinicals the respiratory therapists thought it was great to have the students empty ALL the canisters in patient rooms- there were a lot...

  14. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    ink10300 replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Stanley-RN2B: I appreciate your candor and willingness to explain. I was a CNA for many years, I was a manager, however, I supervised other aides. I had a hard enough time with that drama! I can't...

  15. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    ink10300 replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Again, no offense, but a CNA disciplining me on my nursing duties is not only inappropriate, but condescending as well. Med errors? Do you know enough about meds to discipline me on this? Not that it...

  16. I might gag

    ink10300 replied to MzGurl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    yuck. That makes me gag thinking about

  17. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    ink10300 replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have 2 CNA's and an Activities coordinator, who are constantly trying to tell me how to do my job- as a nurse. Ordering me, take the VS, don't forget to chart that, telling me also what I should...

  18. Phlebotomist to LPN?

    ink10300 replied to evefreak's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nearly every job I have had has been a stepping stone to my nursing career. I was a CNA for 10 years. Back injuries made me go back to school where I obtained a certificate in medical billing and...

  20. what NOT to do when job hunting.

    ink10300 replied to deelpn85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Would you believe I've said the same thing. Afterwards, I was thinking why in the world would you I that- of all things? But it worked out for me

  21. LVN program in southern california

  22. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    ink10300 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Nursing Humor

    Before I became a nurse I was a phlebotomist for a county lab. A couple of teens, (under 15 if I remember right), from a group home, (severe mental illness), were driven in. 1st draw is fine, not...

  23. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    ink10300 replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Unless, you are using as a anti-wrinkle night cream, than knock yourself out. It actually does work on wrinkles! Just DON'T get it in your

  24. Medical assistants and LPNs

    ink10300 replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just moved out of California. Unfortunately, they do not have any accredited on-line LVN programs available yet. They are still looked down upon out there. However, there are public schools that...

  25. Medical assistants and LPNs

    ink10300 replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am an LPN and the difference is that I know the RN has more responsibility, (that I am often great-full I don't have), as well as knowledge. Period. We are similar, however it would be like saying a...
