    Mandatory flu vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who recently decided it wasn't healthy to wash her hair more than once a week. She still showers though. It isn't the same friend who thinks epidurals caused the increase in

    The Nurse on the Other Side

    Spidey's mom replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse who has been a patient I will say that what I noticed as a new mom who had a baby by cesarean is that my nurse assumed I knew everything I needed to know since I was a labor and delivery...

    The Nurse on the Other Side

    Spidey's mom replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    I initially appreciated your article but also was intrigued by how other people responded. But you lost me at the NETY stuff. We've got many threads here that disagree with the idea that "nurses eat...

    How many months off is OK(recent experience)?

    Spidey's mom replied to NorCalKid's topic in Travel

    Personally, I don't think it would hurt. You should be able to live your dream. Locally, we are hurting for nurses. If your work history showed you were a good nurse, I know I'd hire you in a...

    HELP!

    Spidey's mom replied to kvergin's topic in General Nursing

    Hi kvergin! Welcome. I don't know where you live or what requirements are expected or whether you are married or have kids so it is hard to say what exactly is the right way to go. Everyone has a...

    Spidey's mom replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    wtbcrna and FNP - thanks for all the great statistical information. That takes time and dedication and it is appreciated! I love skeptic.com and read this today. Thought of you

    Ativan at School for Students Under 18

    Spidey's mom replied to CASchoolNurse831's topic in School

    California keeps passing these crazy laws that make it ok for trained lay people to do medical stuff. They can give insulin, glucagon, diastat, narcs, ativan, etc. I'll tell ya, the office staff are...

    Ativan at School for Students Under 18

    Spidey's mom replied to CASchoolNurse831's topic in School

    Nope. If staff refuse to be trained, then we are covered from liability. Same with the new epi-pen

    Ativan at School for Students Under 18

    Spidey's mom replied to CASchoolNurse831's topic in School

    Except where I (and many other CA nurses work) there is not a nurse on every campus. And teachers won't be trained for this. So, 911 it

    16 years ago, a doctor published a study, and it made us all sick

    Spidey's mom replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think Mr. Carson's "base" are anti-vaxx. I did mention on another thread that last week in the teacher's lounge I was discussing a student with the school psychologist and a paraprofessional...

    You ATE that in my Clinic???

    Spidey's mom replied to Saphy's topic in School

    My real office is at the D.O. I don't see students there for the most part unless a continuation kid needs an H&V or gets sick which rarely happens. I eat lunch at my desk. I eat lunch at my...

    Hyperventilation

    Spidey's mom replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    Every year the school district gets audited. But a different department each time. Two years ago it was our dietary department and we got dinged for a bunch of things. However, the woman was pretty...

    16 years ago, a doctor published a study, and it made us all sick

    Spidey's mom replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, he made a misinformed statement about the vaccine schedule and that has nothing to do with being conservative. Just not very well-informed. I sent an email to his campaign manager suggesting a...

    Spidey's mom replied to CASchoolNurse831's topic in School

    Did you marry a doctor?

    Spidey's mom replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Many docs marry other docs while in med school or residency . . . . which I think is crazy. You both are going to be too busy to raise kids! All the docs I work with are mostly absent from their...

    First on scene to car wreck

    Spidey's mom replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    WHAT?! The doc told her to take her mom home BEFORE getting to the ER?? Maybe she was the driver in the OP's story . ...except that was a guy.

    Not getting it as nurses- the view

    Spidey's mom replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree. Having worked with dementia patients and having relatives with dementia, there is no reason to have to add drama or fabricate. It is provided, free of charge. One story I love to tell...

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    As a School Nurse, I meet monthly with the Public Health nurses here in our county so when I take my son into the little local office up here in the mountains, we get right in for vaccinations. Small...

    Not getting it as nurses- the view

    Spidey's mom replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the reactions to original show on The View and subsequent pseudo-apology were hilarious. Using a sense of humor helps, in my opinion. The memes and photos from nurses and doctors all over...

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Both places where I work are doing free flu shots at the beginning of October. I'll probably get Spidey his around the same time. What's the rationale behind waiting for your kids? Just curious....

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    I thought the reaction to the show was pretty fun for the first few days - loved all the photos and memes related to *pizzing* off nurses. Glad it brought some attention to nursing. I too thought...
