    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    It is scientifically implausible for any viral illness to be "cured" in a matter of minutes. That would be obvious to anyone with a working knowledge of the pathophysiology of viral infections and the...

    Prioritising Patients

    cayenne06 replied to Curiouss's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think the question is asking which patient is more "deserving" of a replacement. Usually prioritization questions refer to which patient you should assess/ care for

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    This guy seems to think that germ theory is bunk because... not everyone who is exposed to a pathogen gets sick, i think? Very hard to read those walls of texts. "Did you know that there have been...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody who works in the sciences would argue that there are not serious problems with falsified data, unreproducible results, industry funding, etc etc. There are many in the field who devote their...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Adults are free to use or reject whatever treatment they want- as long as they are not denying medical care to their children. As an APRN, my job is to make sure I provide them with evidence based...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband, truly. Hopefully as an RN you are well aware of the data surrounding "low grade" prostate cancer, survival rates, and the implications for screening. The...

    Type and crossmatch

    cayenne06 replied to Tnicole09RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty certain most places rely on serum cross matching and not computer assisted. So the sample needs to be redrawn to allow for

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    The scare quotes are "science" are telling. And you are incorrect- there is only one "science." Science is a methodology for gaining knowedge about the world, not a set of static facts or beliefs....

    NP vs SAHM (stay at home mom) dilemma

    cayenne06 replied to ovy32's topic in General Nursing

    It's gonna be hard to find a low-stress part time NP job as a new grad, especially since you've been out of the work force since graduating... Have you considered working per diem as an RN while...

    Type and crossmatch

    cayenne06 replied to Tnicole09RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's because each unit needs to be physically crossmatched, and the sample is only good for 72 hours. Of course computer assisted crossmatching is becoming more widespread, but you still need a new...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I swear, it's like talking to a brick wall. I didn't immunize my babies for all the reasons other anti-vaxxers have mentioned. I was concerned about the adjuvants, I thought natural infection provided...

    NCLEX vent

    cayenne06 replied to pink3r's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was sure I failed when I took my NCLEX- like you, mine was heavy on SATA and shut off at 75. I felt like I didn't know the answer to like half the questions, and I cried in my car afterwards. I had...

    what to do when your pt has high bp?

    cayenne06 replied to AmandaAlldrin's topic in General Nursing

    What is your most and least favourite area/specialty of nursing and why?

    cayenne06 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived and breathed OB for my entire career, and up until a few months ago I would never have hesitated to call it my favorite specialty. But now I work in an outpatient GYN/repro health clinic...

    Shortness of Breath

    cayenne06 replied to SilleLu's topic in General Nursing

    I also feel SOB when I get an anxiety attack. And I agree with the previous posts- when you've got a complainer/frequent flier/attention seeker, it is easy to start dismissing their nebulous...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    the mask is a joke and IMO it is more a punishment and an attempt at public shaming than an actual public health measure. I do not know what the right answer is in terms of mandatory flu vaccines for...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    cayenne06 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    i am trying reallllly hard to understand what you mean here. Do you mean the the antigens in the IM vaccine will somehow "attach" to a different flu strain and cause an antigenic shift? That's not how...

    I had to get special dispensation from the dean to take 1 and 2 concurrently, but I did it and maintained my 4.0. I wouldn't do it unless you have a good foundation of knowledge and are a motivated...
