study: h1n1 vaccine too late to help most our hospital system just got the h1n1 vaccination in today-ordered 7,000 and received 200! so, only those in the high risk patient care areas are getting them till we see if more are coming in. that means...

Wow! This is also the first that I've seen Rhabdo linked to the flu/swine flu. Working Tele I've seen cases with ETOH and some serious elderly falls victims with other complications.

I am not looking forward to Monday because that is when our new policy goes into effect-visitors will be met at the front desk and turned away if they are exhibiting any s/s flu. Visitors must be 18yrs or older and immediate family only and visiting...

you should contact the pa bon and find out if it needs to be reported and if so, what the reporting process entails. i think that you will run into trouble when you go to renew your license otherwise. honesty is always the best policy. if you don'...

Thanks everyone for the updates. Our hospital system just sent out a power point this week with an H1N1 Flu Preparedness Update. It's very comprehensive with a lot of restrictions and precautions and closely follows CDC guidelines. We have very se...

First of all, I would like to say a big "Thank You!" and a "Hooyah" for your service to our country. Wow-the nursing profession should be honored to have someone like you join our ranks. Nursing is very stressful but then you would know just a litt...

I don't think that would be a problem as long as you discussed that with them right up front-especially if you are flexible with other areas of your schedule. I teach music at my daughter's elementary school every Wednesday. It's a really small sc...

16 hour shifts aren't too bad. I like them because they allow me a lot more time off during the week. When I was pregnant though I could only do them till I was about 22wks because I was working mostly on a busy admission unit and my butt was toast...

By way of follow up on my husband's friend/family in TX who were all treated for swine flu with high doses of Vitamin D and C by their family physician. Here were the dosages of the vitamins- Vitamin D 100iu/lb/day and Vitamin C 3000mg q4hrs during ...

There are definitely pros and cons with 12hr shifts. Pros-more days off in between, continuity of care for the patient, more time to get your work(especially charting!) done during your shift and you can plan your "day" with those extra hours in min...

Just one more follow up... This is a catch all follow up on a couple of different things. First, the VAERS report-there are 63 cases of dystonia reported from vaccinations, 30 of which are documented from the vaccinations my daughter received at he...

Thanks Laci for the links and the info. As you and I have both mentioned, there are articles being written every day about major research that is going on about Vit D. I only really got seriously interested in it because my husband has asthma and all...

I don't believe that I ever said Dystonia was a symptom. I was merely using a newspaper headline for my thread posting. Having dealt personally the last 4 years with my daughter I think that I would be at least a little bit informed about the neuro...

It is really sad that we are only just now realizing what side effects all these additives in our vaccinations like mercury(or Thimerosal) are having on people. At least researchers are finally starting to connect the dots with some of these serious...

I work in the float pool for a hospital system and I float between multiple units at 2 hospitals. I am per diem in our unit and the only requirements that I have as PD per month are 8hrs of weekend time and 8hrs during the week for a total of 16hrs/...

Our hospital policy states that the heparin gtt must be turned off for ptts from the same extremity. The only reason that I know that (as someone else posted) is because I've had phlebotomists come to me to turn off hep gtts so they can come back an...

Hi! Hbg is a great place to live and work. I work at 2 local Hbg hospitals and absolutely love it! The hospital system that I work for is great(not that it doesn't have it's issues at times:)but overall I don't have any complaints. As for the are...
