  1. China-Made Swine Flu Vaccine Protects After One Shot (Update1)

    dcampbell replied to nurse2009's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Really? Are you kidding? Wow you have a lot of faith in an organization that doesn't have the most pristine track record on safety and, by their own admission, under the gun to get a vaccine ready...

  2. China-Made Swine Flu Vaccine Protects After One Shot (Update1)

    dcampbell replied to nurse2009's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What makes you think you will have a choice as to where the vaccine you receive comes from? Will you be able to check the packaging yourself? It could have an american label on it but was made in...

  3. Tell me if this is the norm in your er!

    dcampbell replied to missnurse01's topic in Emergency

    Goodness, I would just be glad if a doctor or ped. would be willing to put in two or three stitches in their office. But no way, off to the ER for something minor that they could easily do in the...

  4. school closure for swine flu guidelines

    dcampbell replied to HonestRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    With many people afraid of losing their jobs in this economy, there will be many parents that will send their kids to school sick anyway. How many nurses can affford to miss that much work,...

  5. H1N1 Vaccine?

    dcampbell replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    Will it be mercury/thimerisol free? Many people will not allow their children to receive this vaccine if it contains it. They will probably keep their kids home from school instead. I agree with the...

  6. Do pediatric vaccines still contain mercury?

    dcampbell replied to Bridget41040's topic in General Nursing

    Even if there are no proven studies that thimerisol is a problem, I think there are more than a few people that would not want a mercury derivative, or aluminum or other inorganic substances injected...

  7. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    dcampbell replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So many things about this bothers me. To have three RN's holding a patient down sounds like assault to me. This young woman was of legal age (18 years old), and of sound mind, we assume. I am sure...

  8. Second opinion, how to ask doctor for?

    dcampbell posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have had shoulder pain for 14 months (fell down a hill ). Doctor suggests shoulder surgery (wants to look around for possible spurs or torn roator cuff that did not show up on MRI). I go back to...

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

  10. Second opinion, how to ask doctor for?

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    Let me just say that I have been floored by all the kind and very helpful responses to my situation. I just wanted to update you all on what happened today when I went to the doctor to discuss...

  11. Charting a Staff/Family Conflict

    dcampbell replied to purplekoolaid's topic in General Nursing

    I would want to have a copy of my own notes also in case they "disappeared" but is that legal? Would the hospital encourage/allow nurses to do that? If the hospital records are requested for court...

  12. Are we adequately treating pain?

    dcampbell replied to ag01medic's topic in Emergency

    Would this get worst under "government health care" /single payer/universal health care ect. ? If the goverment is paying would they feel they should have the ultimate say over how things are done...

  13. Volunteers in the NICU

    dcampbell replied to RNDreamer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am a NICU RN that has been staying home with her kids. I wonder if my local hospital would be interested in having me volunteer a few hours a week in their

  14. ERs fail as the nation's safety net

    dcampbell replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Am I the only one experiencing this but does it seem that PCP's go out of their way to ENCOURAGE use of the ER for nonemergent problems? For example, I called the Ped's office for an appointment for...

    dcampbell posted a topic in General Nursing

    :specs:Which dissolves quicker in stomach? Capsules-tablets-gel caps? It's that time of year again, science fair projects! Wondering if it makes a difference, or if it is just advertising hype to...

  16. Caps/tabs/gel caps-which dissolves quicker?science project

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    Also unscientific: We have read online so far about an experiment done similar to ours by a teen who reported that, for her, the gel tabs took the longest to dissolve (almost 30 minutes). She stated...

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea about the coated/uncoated angle, we didn't even think about that one. Project is due in March, we will update on our findings when we are done.

  18. Patient's preferences during birth

    dcampbell replied to TTE7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let's say a pt refuses a hep lock and pt is informed of dangers, ect., and everything is well-documented. Then god-forbid, later on during labor/delivery something terrible happens (you fill in the...

  23. What Virginia towns/cities do you recommend working in and why?

    dcampbell replied to fd5151's topic in Virginia Nursing

    We used to live in Midlothian (just outside Richmond) and LOVED it. I would go back in a heartbeat! Housing prices were great and we were sorry to leave. When we bought our next house, in...
