    Mandating vaccine for children

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And that is exactly why vaccination with boosters is required. Based on what? You are making this up as you go along. GIVE US THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU SAY IS OUT THERE! If...

    Mandating vaccine for children

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From the article you referenced; "In participants 5 to 11 years of age, the vaccine was safe, well tolerated and showed robust neutralizing antibody responses." “Over the past nine months,...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What are you trying to say with this? That masks work? We knew that. Was the patient in your quote vaccinated? You don't say. Perhaps if they had been they would not have caught the virus from...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You have not written anything that required a reference in reply. Everything you have written to me has been subjective

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course I understood what you were doing. You were nit picking. You took one sentence from my post then found something that disagreed with it and had an AH HA! moment, I can make old Grumpy look...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you will find that it is the "veteran" nurses who have supplied reference after reference but it is the younger ones (you know who you are) who ignore these references or just give opinions as...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I seriously don't care about your "military" service. As far as I am concerned you did this for a pay packet not for any high and mighty ideals. DO NOT EVER tell me about your "service" as all that...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    GrumpyRN replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    WHAT!!! That is possibly the most complete obfuscation I have seen. What do house-fires and garden hoses have to do with masks and viruses? Yes I did read the comments but c'mon... Tenuous...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    GrumpyRN replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No they don't understand this. They think that the virus is like a little worm that wriggles and crawls its way into people because they (and I've said it before about them and their conspiracy...

    Messaging an ex patient

    GrumpyRN replied to NewRMN21's topic in United Kingdom

    Talk to your Charge nurse, let them know that you have been contacted. DO NOT reply to this person. You have no reason to and you can get caught up in any problems/drama they have ongoing, they may...

    Advice please

    GrumpyRN replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that only US nurses work 12 hour shifts? Are you really that parochial? I spent years working 12 hour shifts but NEVER did a 16 hour shift. Kind of proves my point. Oh...

    Personal Deathbed Vision Stories?

    GrumpyRN replied to poppyboo's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you for the, I want to say complement, but I'm not sure if that's the right word.?? We would tend to use pass in the past tense. For example, you could say that someone has "passed away"...

    Are you sure? I hear plenty of stories on this site of nurses working 12 - 16 hour days plus other sites complain about long working hours in the US. "U.S. Workers Put in Staggeringly More Hours...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    A nurse who denies the existence of Covid-19 and discourages people from getting vaccinated has been struck off the nursing register. "A Nursing and Midwifery Council fitness-to-practise panel...

    Personal Deathbed Vision Stories?

    GrumpyRN replied to poppyboo's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Don't change your views, at worst it is hypoxia at best it could be used as proof of life after death. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing, to do with a "superior" being or "god like" figure. Certainly...

    Advice please

    GrumpyRN replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    Very slightly off topic but... Do none of you Americans think that working 80 hour or 64 hour weeks continuously is excessive? Is this normal? If so, no wonder you are stressed and getting PTSD....

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We have not politicised the vaccine (or masking) here but still some people will not take it for "reasons" none of which make sense to me. These people are not vilified or ostracized but the...

    Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except it is not an ER problem. So send them back to their own doctor. Oh dear, no doctor? Then too bad. Take responsibility for YOUR decisions for YOUR child. Remember I am not in US so any...
