  1. Merck suspends lobbying for Gardasil vaccine

    sailgurlie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are lucky! You must live in a state that has not mandated it- that is what must stop and reverse immediately! Get the word out! Thanks! Mandating this vaccine only serves Merck and the...

  2. Merck suspends lobbying for Gardasil vaccine

    sailgurlie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for adding to the conversation. I am not fully blaming the vaccine for her death but I cannot say I don't believe it contributed. Many people take BCPs both low and high dose, and I don't...

  3. Merck suspends lobbying for Gardasil vaccine

    sailgurlie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    One of my very good friend's daughter DIED shortly after recieving this vaccine. This young lady was 19 y.o. and in very good health. She was heading out for a run (yes- really) and collapsed in the...

  6. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    sailgurlie replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    I had to write in to share my story... I have been a peds nurse for over 20 years and am pro-vaccine but don't think this vaccine should be mandatory OR even promoted as strongly as it has until it...

  7. "Looping" IV Tubing

    sailgurlie replied to RN CRNI's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    If you have read any of the current research on biofilm, you know it only takes one "bug" to get a whole mess growing inside the patient. Many well recognized IV therapy experts also recommend to NOT...

  8. "Looping" IV Tubing

    sailgurlie replied to RN CRNI's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I agree, the cleansing is the key... anytime a clinician skips that step, even if they think their ends or syringe are "clean" they put the patient at risk. Many nurses don't realize you should...

  9. "Looping" IV Tubing

    sailgurlie replied to RN CRNI's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Well, I'd agree if I could be certain that every nurse cleaned every port for at least 15 seconds every time they looped! Since I have not seen this done consistently and since blood stream...

    Looping is not recommended and has recently been discussed by the Institute of Safe Medication practices- ISMP. Please see this link and pass on these updated recommendations! It's all about patient...
