the title of this thread: "pushed by quacks, Ivermectin is poisoning people". now read what you just wrote. "ivermectin is poisoning people" is proven to be a lie. Ivermectin, the drug for humans is NOT poisoning people. "pushed by qua...

Turns out that the story about ERs being overrun with ivermectin overdoses was a fabrication: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bogus-oklahoma-ivermectin-story-was-just-too-good-check/

Merck's word is not worth much. A for-profit corporation with a conflict of interest, a 1.2 billion dollar contract for a new anti-viral therapy. (Ivermectin is out of patent, would make little money) They also have a shady history with Vioxx. ...

What is dangerous about using a safe drug if one has COVID-19, if one is prescribed it by a medical doctor. There are a body of highly published medical doctors who have looked at the research and they find it sufficient and are prescribing it. If th...

name calling. Okay. Character attacks come when you have no serious points to make. And so it stands, Ivermectin is a safe drug. Goodbye.

Agreed, no one should be going to Tractor Supply and dosing themselves with the horse version of Ivermectin. Make a PSA about, no problem. The human formulation however, has been researched, and has ongoing research in use for Covid 19. It also is n...

I've expected insults so....whatever to that. If you have some data that shows ivermectin, formulated for humans, to be dangerous, I'm all ears.

From the article: “Ivermectin is an FDA-approved broad spectrum anti-parasitic agent (Gonzalez Canga et al., 2008) that in recent years we, along with other groups, have shown to have anti-viral activity against a broad range of viruses (Gotz et al.,...

The news organizations know, they want higher ratings.

So it’s unsafe if you don’t have parasites? It’s one of the safest drugs .

The FDA literally creating a tweet conflating ivermectin formulated for horses with the ivermectin formulation for humans. Ivermectin has a high safety profile.

My brother-in-law ER doctor, who works in large east coast hospital, has prescribed Ivermectin to people with Covid 19 who wanted it. He said it was mostly nurses and doctors who had looked in to the research and requested it. There is some research...

So I work in a prison, was giving meds in the infirmary. One inmate was on IV cefepime. The order simply says, give 1 gram every 12 hours. Fluid type or volume was not included, and it did not say the time it should be given in. I asked for clarif...

Thanks for this response. This is what I suspected but wasn't sure.

thanks for your response. My main question was really on dilution. During my school clinicals, that was always specified in the hospital ie "1 gram cefepime q 12 hours in 100cc NS over 30min". Here the order says "1 gram cefepime q 12 hours". So a...

Yes he admitted that was the reason. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/washington-post-live/fauci-on-how-his-thinking-has-evolved-on-masks-asymptomatic-transmission/2020/07/24/799264e2-0f35-4862-aca2-2b4702650a8b_video.html

yes, many of my instructors really didn't seem like they knew what they were talking about. There is an element though of nursing being a grave responsibility. If an instructor sees student who seem to not take that seriously I seems appropriat...

I had a subscription to nurse.com, 49.99 a year. on a previous year they had the required course for my state as part of the deal. This year I need to buy an additional course for the 25 hours, on top of the the yearly fee. Really annoyed with that k...

Its almost the opposite of what you think. I agree with a lot of what others said; I really have not seen abuse of prisoners. There was one officer who yelled a lot. Other than a few that yell too much, there's nothing I've seen that comes close to ...

and, after reading the above post, don't unnecessarily piss off custody, keep the communication going with higher up custody especially during more serious situations with inmates...I've seen nurses develop a negative relationship with custody and th...

Given your simultaneous interest in law enforcement then you would probably like it. Spent the last 4 years in corrections nursing with associates. There is always an element of law enforcement; but its custody's job to take care of that. You might n...

I saw a travel job for New York city critical care, offering 6000 a week.

Whispera made me laugh, and gotta agree. I work in a psych hospital, mostly on the addiction floor, which is considered "dual diagnosis", meaning they have an addiction and a mental disorder. Rarely do people get that worked up/aggressive here, but ...

I emailed University of Florida admissions, nursing admissions for MSN, and they said they would accept a BSN from Western Governors.

I also have a degree in psychology because it was my interest. I really doubted my wanting to be a nurse all through nursing school, and then I had my psych rotation and loved it, and everyone else couldn't wait until it was over. I got hired a mon...
