  1. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think what happens is that the healthcare system comes close to collapse. I don't think the mandate will convince those who are strongly opposed to this vaccine to roll up their sleeves. Those who...

  2. The Scarce Resource Dilemna

    RuRnurse? replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Administrators should also be making plans to designate staff to make tough triage choices, Kumar says. "The idea of, how you triage 2 young people to a single ventilator — that’s a very...

  3. Mandatory Flu Shots Hit Resistance

    RuRnurse? replied to twinmommy+2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the stupidity...Most of the actions governments take in haste turn out to be stupid. Mandatory vaccination will end up causing more people to refuse, that...

  4. First H1N1 Vaccines Will Be Nasal Sprays

    RuRnurse? replied to Cherybaby's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My state and my employer can both take that live virus and shove it up THEIR noses...or anywhere else they choose. The mandate means nothing to me. I won't be taking it,

  5. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't care what the Patriot Act says...No one is sticking ME with ANYTHING against my will. And I know I am not alone, any attempt to do a large-scale forcible vaccination program will result in...

  6. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "The information on Baxter is freely available. We pointed this out months ago. Again, they have no license to produce swine flu vaccine in the US." Indigo girl, a labratory breach of this magnitude...

  7. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Bravo, damegarbo! I understand that some may feel as if they have no choice but to accept this, but you do! You do! This isn't to say it would be easy, but then worthwhile things are often not. I am...

  8. Boston Launches Flu Shot Tracking! *Tracking Bracelet*

    RuRnurse? replied to Goblin77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Dame, these comparisons tend to hit a nerve because they are true. The pro-mandaters get a bit huffy when confronted with the similarities. "Oh no! That's not what we are doing!", they say, but...

  9. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is information that needs to be brought out and discussed, indigo girl. There has been too much info from one side only, which is leading to a panic state among some. And this panic state is...

  10. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Any time our rights are eroded it is a big deal. These things tend to be done in increments, as is being done now. Bit by bit, until you realize you have lost some very important rights, like the...

  11. H5N1, Bird Flu Updates

    RuRnurse? replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Our Biocontainment Unit has been preparing for H5N1 for 6 years now. Let's hope that the two viruses don't combine RNA" That's like reassortment, having the 2 combine genetic material. It may have...

  12. Getting vaccinated after contracting the flu?

    RuRnurse? replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nothing about this situation makes any freakin' sense, morte. That is why I am NOT participating. Too many unanswered questions, too much "rush, rush, rush!". No thanks, at least for me. Does anyone...

  13. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    " Re: Mandatory Flu shots LIVE virus was released in a shipment of flu vaccine???" Yes, it was. Yes indeed. And not just ANY virus...what Baxter's cocktail contained was LIVE H5N1 virus, the bird flu....

  14. Mandatory Flu vaccine

    RuRnurse? replied to mspazrn's topic in New York Nursing

    This is going to backfire. How is New York going to keep their hospitals open if they fire half their workforce? Someone is going to look very stupid after all this nonsense. You shouldn't make...

  15. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Whenever people act in haste, they are bound to create bigger problems than they are trying to solve. This is going to be one of those times, you watch... But, the whole thing smells to me. Why all...

  16. Boston Launches Flu Shot Tracking! *Tracking Bracelet*

    RuRnurse? replied to Goblin77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What's next? Tattooing numbers on our arms and forcing us into poorly-ventilated boxcars? The powers-that-be are opening a can of worms they will wish they had left

  17. Swine Flu & Your Rights

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, since I never voted for any of those characters in the UN, what they do or don't "Mandate" is irrelevant to me. Besides, who are they kidding? These folks in the blue hardhats can't even...

    Here is a link to the article as it appeared in the Toronto Sun... http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2009/02/27/8560781.html This was back in February...I am wondering why we haven't heard...

  19. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everyone must do their OWN research, and make up their OWN minds about this. NEVER do ANYTHING because someone tells you you must, THAT is what makes one a sheep! States like NY, where I work, are...

  20. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    RuRnurse? replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is something very strange going on here...Is it a coincidence that this is being pushed so hard and so fast now, at a time when our government is trying so hard to get a major health care reform...

  21. Mandatory Flu shots

    RuRnurse? replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the ones crying "Fire" in the crowded movie theatre are the ones who are screaming for EVERYONE to be vaccinated or else... Could it be that the reason for some to be so insistent is that, if...

  23. Nurse Residency Programs: An Essential Requirement for Nursing

    RuRnurse? replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    What? Now we should impose the same residency obligations on nursing students as is put upon doctors? Great, but nurses, even the higher-ups, aren't making the same salaries as the docs, so go...

  24. what is your biggest pet peeve while at work?

    RuRnurse? replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, newohiorn, like the ones who visit once every 3 years and complain about the missing teeth, when we've contacted them several times to tell them, and gotten no response. And they're the ones...

  25. HIPAA dilemna continues

    RuRnurse? replied to 925_ER_RN's topic in General Nursing

    ""Can a nurse review previous charts w/o violating HIPPA?"" I missed that post, sorry. But are you kidding!? How does looking at a patients records violate HIPPA, unless you use that info for...
