  1. What part of "isolation" don't you understand?

    dcampbell replied to beachmom's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that being a visitor is a privilege and not a right. By her being noncompliant maybe she should be told to leave. It would be a PR nightmare but what about the other pts? Maybe an...

  2. Ethical Issue- Nurses not getting flu vaccine when they could!

    dcampbell replied to Aaron86's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The OP makes it sound so easy to just wear a mask for the next 48 hours at work. But I would feel that I should also wear a mask at home too and whenever I am out so that I don't infect my family...

  3. Numbing cream for peds IV's?

    dcampbell replied to RoyalNurse's topic in Emergency

    I had the "cold spray" myself. I needed a steroid injection in the shoulder, and when I saw that large needle coming at me I was a little concerned:) But I must say, the spray really worked well....

  4. Hospitals cracking down on who can enter

    dcampbell replied to kbm318's topic in General Nursing

    How are visitors respnding? If someone complains enough, are they given their way? With the emphasize on "customer service" are hospitals really willing to upset visitors? If a child was not allowed...

  5. Patient in rigor mortis

    dcampbell replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so very

  6. Patient in rigor mortis

    dcampbell replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    heron, OB nurse here. Why would a MI be more fatal in a younger pt.? This pt was in his 50's, was he more likely to die of a MI than a 65 year old? Or is it the fact that the MI was unexpected...

  7. Question about "Too narrow of bones" with giving birth

    dcampbell replied to SNLou84's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unfortunately, I have never seen a pt. allowed to squat for a delivery. Granted I do not have the years of experience in the delivery room as many of our members. How often have you all seen it...

  8. Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    dcampbell replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I first saw this story I thought what several posters have already mentioned. "Why not deliver somewhere else, even if you have to travel, and pay for it yourself?" But then I thought, what...

  9. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    dcampbell replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    II wonder if one of the reasons for the "heavy-handedness" of employers insisting on no vaccine/no job, is that maybe they are worried about lawsuits. We all know that nurses get blamed (rightly or...

  10. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    dcampbell replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't we ALL wear masks all the time at the hospital? Both vaccinated and unvaccinated, plus visitors too. Let's say that the vaccine is safe, but the researchers missed using the proper strain by...

  11. Pregnant Nurses and the flu shot

    dcampbell replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering, does "preservative free" mean thimerisol

  12. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    dcampbell replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What is the test that you could request be ordered to prove whether or not you have had the H1N1 virus? Is this test accurate and readily available? Would "positive" results be considered under the...

  13. Pregnant Nurses and the flu shot

    dcampbell replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    caringnurse, If you choose to receive a vaccine without preservatives, ask to see the label yourself. A HCW might just "assume" that the vaccine is without thimerosol, but is

  14. Pregnant Nurses and the flu shot

    dcampbell replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    Many people choose to eat organic, free range, preservative-free, ect. If a vaccine was available that was preservative-free (thimerosol is said to be a preservative) why wouldn't you choose the...

  15. Link between Seasonal Flu Vax and Propensity to Contract Swine Flu?

    dcampbell replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not an infectious disease specialist. But I have always wondered if getting a vaccine temporarily lowers the immune system (while the body deals with the deadened virus) thus, leaving the body...

  16. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    dcampbell replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While unvaccinated visitors roam freely throughout the

  17. Mandatory Flu shots

    dcampbell replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it is very much downplayed and underreported the after effects of a vaccine. I never got a flu vaccine that I didn't feel like I was run over by a train for days afterwards. Being unable to...

  18. Mandatory Flu shots

    dcampbell replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LIVE virus was released in a shipment of flu

  19. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    dcampbell replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you think you could find out more about this for

  20. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    dcampbell replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    When someone joins the millitary (we still have an all-volunteer millitary), they agree to give up some of their rights. Some have posted before, about all the required vaccines that people must take...

  21. Mandatory Flu shots

    dcampbell replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If hospitals really wanted to "put the patients first" they would stop having us come in while we are still sick be it the flu or a simple virus or whatever. How many of us have had pressure from...

  22. ALL NURSES this affects all of you

    dcampbell replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    So far, many of you have posted that you will get the flu shot but are either not going to, or are unsure about getting the H1N1 vaccine. If the H1N1 vaccine were the vaccine being mandated, would...

  23. Flu shot reaction?

    dcampbell replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Why was the injection site up so high? Is this a new flu administration technique that I have not learned about

  24. Are nurses allowed to claim vaccination exemptions?

    dcampbell replied to moodyred01's topic in General Nursing

    What about the visitors? They are going in and out of some rooms and also many parts of the hospital. What about masks for visitors?

  25. Under Viral Attack

    dcampbell replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    REALLY dumb question here. What if you don't have your tonsils anymore? Would that decrease the risk of fatality? As in, there are no tonsils to become infected to the point of
