  1. I don't think that there is an alarmist tone to this forum. I have learned a lot of really good information from indigo girl. She is very well informed following this pandemic very closely all the...
  2. Evidence of swine flu risk to pregnant women rises

    My daughter is six months pregnant and just saw her doctor. She was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and put on antibiotics. They swabbed her nose to check for swine flu and it came up...
  3. the rosary helps

    Not everyone who is a patient in a catholic hospital is a catholic. I have been a patient in a catholic hospital before, and I am Jewish. I think that poster made a very good point about assessing a...
  4. jobs for nurses in recovery?????????

    Tanlie - I have seen that you have asked this question on a few posts. Perhaps you should start a thread of your own with more details so that someone can give you an educated response to your...
  5. Called narcotic in! NOT ME!!!

    What is there to "self-report"? The OP did nothing wrong. Are you asking this as a general question or pertaining to the original

  8. WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration approved the new swine flu vaccine Tuesday, a long-anticipated step as the government works to start mass vaccinations next month. Limited supplies should...
  9. FDA Approves New Swine Flu Vaccine

    I don't know why they moved this post to this forum. I had it under world news at allnurses central because it is something that everyone should be aware of. Some people do not know this forum...
  10. Apparently a Single Jab Will Do Ya

    Do we know what that time period is? Apparently, my pregnant daughters' ob/gyn doesn't know anything about it. It's frustrating that these docs aren't well enough informed about the virus let alone...
  11. Apparently a Single Jab Will Do Ya

    Just wondering...if you get a regular flu shot...can you also get the H1N1 shot as well? Is it contraindicated? I can't find anything about it
  12. Evidence of swine flu risk to pregnant women rises

    All the deaths in Florida, specifically the hillsborough and tampa cases, are scaring me out of my mind. My daughter is 18 weeks pregnant...we live in tampa bay. Thank you, indigo girl, for tracking...
  13. IPN vs. BON?

    I went for my IPN evaluation yesterday. It wasn't nearly as scary or as intimidating as I thought it would be. There was a doctor there, a psychiatrist, who told me she was a former addict as well....
  14. Out of curiousity, does anyone know of any studies done on swine flu vaccinations and pregnant women? My daughter is 4 months pregnant. The doctor suggested getting a swine flu vaccine to ward off...
  15. Swine Flu, Vaccinations and Pregnancy

    Yes. I looked up some...but there is nothing showing possible adverse outcomes. I am thinking that they could not have had trial studies on pregnant women and the potential for damage to the...
  16. No time off for new dad!!

    Well, it seems you have answered all of your own questions. You said he has never been written up. In the next few sentences you show that he HAS been written up a number of times for infractions no...
  17. Gotta question

    I didn't necessarily see this as someone trying to rain on your parade. Someone was just giving you another point of view. People who are familiar with recovery know that relapse rates are VERY high...
  18. I have wanted to be a nurse for years

    Honey...relax! You are still a young one with all the time in the world. I walked into the world of nursing as an MA at the age of 33 and finally got my nursing license when I turned 40! You have...
  19. No time off for new dad!!

    I have to agree with applescruffette's reply. I feel like we aren't getting a full story here or if so, it is a very slanted viewpoint. There is no reason under the sun why your boyfriend should...
  20. Scrub requirements

    A lot of other hospitals are going to the color coded system. Supposedly, this is to help patients differentiate who the nurses are as opposed to other staff, like techs and housekeeping, etc....
  21. Unless you are willing to work LTC, I would suggest staying away from Central Florida too. We are completely on lockdown over here when it comes to hiring even experienced nurses. This is...
  22. Very Upset And It's Affecting My Marriage

    I have to be honest here. I find it amusing that you state that "we as nurses are suppossed [sic] to provide compassionate care to our patients..." yet you cannot find it in your heart to find...
  23. Staff acting like mean girls what do you do

    Unfortunately, you are going to come across this a lot. You need to have a thick skin and let their cliquish ways roll off your back. Shrug it off. Eventually, they will see that they have no...
