Thanks! I will take your posts into considerations as I write my paper. I will let you all know when I am done and my final grade how it came out! =)

Hello, I am a 1st year, 1st quarter nursing student. My teacher has assigned the class to write an opinion paper on an ethical/legal issue. My topic was Childhood Vaccines: To Vaccinate or not. Since I am interested in the pediatric field, I was wondering if anyone has had any ethical dilemas to this subject. How did it affect you, or how do you feel this topic can affect the nurse? I have been trying to find some literature online but I am not finding anything from a nurses viewpoint. I know with myself, I belive in vaccinations and if a parent was against it, I know I could not do anything, but try to educate the parent on the importance of the vaccinations. (Children's hospital did this to me when my son was about to get his first set of shots, and I was scared because he had severe heart defects) So I was wondering if and how does this affect the nurse caring for the patient.
