JadedCPN BSN, RN

Unfortunately as an RN in the United State you are not able to use cannabis in any way, and a positive test will result in a notification to the BON which will put your license in jeopardy and likely have you in a recovery-type of program.

So you’d be agency working the same hospital you’re at now? With only 1.5 years experience I would probably take that offer because truthfully if you’re trying to travel as an ICU nurse, with that limited experience and with lower acuity as you said ...

16 years of pediatric nursing and I still have this thought at least once a week.

That’s not how this works.

This is a hospital, not a hotel.

We are also all professionals here, and we should NOT be bringing up these beliefs as professionals without the patient/other party initiating the conversation themselves. Completely inappropriate. I don't care what you believe in and I am not at all...

My mother had to muster the energy while actively dying in hospice to stop a religious zealot from pushing god on her while she was trying to die in peace. Ignorant of you to say that no one has ever been hurt by talking about god; please don't sprea...

I agree. So sad.

And this right here is the danger with these exemptions.

No reason to be ashamed in your faith at all. But you do need to realize that this isn’t about you, it’s about the patient and there are many, many patients who absolutely would not want you to talk about god at any point but especially not on their ...

Pfizer has been fully approved by the FDA. Curious what excuses will be used next as to why not to get it. FDA Approves First COVID-19 Vaccine

Once fully approved by FDA, no different than every single other FDA-approved vaccine that is mandated for school-aged children to attend public schools. This is not a new concept, at all.

mRNA vaccines also weren’t discovered 9 months ago, they have been researched for decades. Stop with your “I’m not against vaccinations BUT…” BS. You are the most dangerous type of devil’s advocate and you continue to spew it on post after post.

Of course there are people who take advantage of the Light Duty situation, just like there are people who take advantage of FMLA. Not my business to determine what’s legit and what’s not though.

Hugs. All the hugs to you. That’s all.

I’ve always been mandated to take the flu vaccine during my career. It wasn’t until I moved to Texas a few years ago that I worked somewhere it wasn’t mandated, go figure.

You do have a right to choose, nobody has taken that away.

Welcome to AllNurses, what an unexpected first post ?? You were mandated to have vaccines for nursing school. You were mandated to have proof of those vaccines to become employed as a nurse. And you have a choice.

Good luck, take care!

THIS! Nurses have a flipping degree in SCIENCE, yet some are doubting that science without providing any other science to doubt the original science…. It is mind blowing and embarrassing.

What was the reason your religious leader said not to get the vaccine? This is the person who should be responsible for the exemption letter.

You posted this under “nursing humor.” I would go on a limb and say majority of people who believe in the vaccine and science wouldn’t find this very humorous, and that majority of people who would find this humorous are the same folks who don’t want...

The thing that doesn’t make this funny is there are many like you who truly think this way.

Sounds like your patients and coworkers are better off without you working permanently. So long, take care, thoughts and prayers!

It would be ridiculous to quit a job over this singular issue, that you caused.
