    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you know about herd immunity, then why the heck are you asking that question? Once again, I'm flabbergasted that we're having this conversation with another HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. Not all people...

    Moving On Up: Clinical Ladder Programs, are they really worth it?

    klone replied to Richard Wolfe's topic in General Nursing

    Not all clinical ladders are created equal. I've seen some where you were REQUIRED to have a specialty certification as part of it. Others where you had to have equal activities in one of several...

    Nursing specialties

    klone replied to Mc111901's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! Welcome to Allnurses! Yes, that is called an OB nurse. Specifically, that would be called a mom/baby nurse, or postpartum nurse. Nurses who take care of women in labor are called labor and...

    Moving On Up: Clinical Ladder Programs, are they really worth it?

    klone replied to Richard Wolfe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you - it's worthy of its own thread, since it's not really germane to this conversation, as clinical ladders aren't typically available or relevant to non-clinical

    Moving On Up: Clinical Ladder Programs, are they really worth it?

    klone replied to Richard Wolfe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with that, but that's kind of outside the scope of what the OP is asking, which is about clinical ladders for (presumably) bedside nurses. Some of the best research and QI can be done right at...

    That doesn't mean that it wasn't a JC violation, just that your hospital did it anyway. But yes, it is a violation if there are special competencies required on a particular

    klone replied to Crush's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with previous poster - by virtue of being an RN, they are competent to act in a supportive manner. They should not take a patient assignment until they've been fully oriented to the unit....

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, fine. You really want to argue with me about my hysterectomy? Really? If Gardasil had been available 30 years ago, I would PROBABLY still have my uterus.

    I was positive for 16. That and 18 cause about 75% of all cervical cancers. And Gardasil protects against 16 and 18, in addition to several

    Hospital position without residency?

    klone replied to Hhoward92's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Our hospital has rolling enrollment in the residency program. Basically, a cohort starts once a month for several months. Maybe other facilities are like that as

    FNP Clinical Settings

    klone replied to CR27's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do dermatologists or plastic surgeons hire FNPs? I'm trying to think of situations in which FNPs would work at plastic surgery centers, and I really can't. They can't perform surgery, and other than...

    Maternal Risks of Skin to Skin?

    klone replied to LineaAspera's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't understand how this would be a risk of skin-to-skin? StS does not cause SUPC. Also, the OP asked about MATERNAL

    Verbal Job Offers...how long do you wait?

    klone replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    A formal HR offer typically doesn't happen until after your background and reference checks come through, so it can often take a week+. Not a bad idea to follow up with

    Finished Nclex at 75 Questions

    klone replied to Shirad96's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think that's true for those for whom the test shuts off at 75 questions. For those people - they either did really really well (over 50% of questions correctly), or really really poorly (less...

    All of that information is available on the VIS, which, by federal law, all patients should receive prior to getting the vaccine. And as nurses, it is our responsibility, before giving the vaccine, to...

    FNP vs PNP vs MD

    You can do whatever the hell you want with your body. And if you were my patient, I would give you the evidence as to why the Gardasil vaccine is important, and then I would go along with whatever you...
