  1. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    eatenbylocusts replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    Don't take it personally, it I may get fired up when someone wants to force interventions on me and others without having all the facts, it. becomes hostile when challenged. You are still...

  2. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    eatenbylocusts replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    You need to read my post again. Please put as much effort into it as you put into your long-winded rejection of facts that you choose to ignore. There were only 125 cases rejected, not paid out. Come...

  3. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    eatenbylocusts replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    Sorry, but my two patients with documented chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy clearly trump your story. And to respond to your first reply to my post; the common theme I have seen in...

  4. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    eatenbylocusts replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    Here's my anecdotal evidence: I probably had the flu in my early 20s, not diagnosed, but sick as could be. I am 50, have not had the flu since then and have only received two flu vaccines in my...

  5. Should I try and become a Nurse in a Naturopathic Clinic or a Naturopathic Doctor?

    eatenbylocusts replied to NenaRK's topic in Holistic

    Perhaps they knew someone who was harmed by a statin? A statin brought about the decline of my uncle manifested by severe muscle weakness. He continued on his doctor ordered meds as they were very...

  6. Holistic Nurses Entrepreneurs

    eatenbylocusts replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Holistic

    I am interested in the same things you mentioned. Too many friends and relatives around me being affected by cancer and when the HPV vaccine was forcibly pushed on my non-dating, autism spectrum...

  7. showering: before or after work

    eatenbylocusts replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty laid back, but I am also one who is very careful about observing those precautions posted at the patient's door. I don't have little ones crawling on my floor at home, but do have a ton of...

    That's what saline flushes are

  9. showering: before or after work

    eatenbylocusts replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, how I would like a whirlpool tub in my future dream master bath that yucky teens don't have access

  10. Being called an idiot

    eatenbylocusts replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That makes no difference. There is no way anyone else but the person who actually had the conversation with the patient discussing the proposed procedure along with risks should be specifying what...

  11. Nothing Like a Nurse Navigator!

    eatenbylocusts replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a very interesting position. One of my co-workers had her chemo delayed because she had forgotten to get labs drawn. The number of my friends and family being affected by cancer has...

  12. Being called an idiot

    eatenbylocusts replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thankfully I haven't seen anything as a bad as this for years. In the past the night shift would be terrified to call the surgeons, but some would call in the middle of the night for medications for...

  13. Being called an idiot

    eatenbylocusts replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is something to keep in mind, but not applicable when dealing with a Dr. who just makes a habit of treating people like servants of an evil master. I agree with responding in a civil manner, but...

  14. Learning From My Mistakes And Successes

    eatenbylocusts replied to cdavrn's topic in Nursing Career

    These are great tips and it's good to hear you are embracing the future with a positive attitude. I started to look for a new position after getting married and moving, but after 6 years that still...

  15. Do you get paid to stay late and chart?

    eatenbylocusts replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I am truly amazed that anyone could go more than a few months without getting some overtime. Even when things are running smoothly and everyone has been pre-medicated some need always comes up at...

  16. BSN student precepting with a school nurse

    eatenbylocusts posted a topic in School

    I have had so much trouble finding a preceptor, but have now been hooked up with a supervisor overseeing 100+ schools. Normally the objectives are picked after you know where you're precepting, but...
