  2. What kind of holiday bonus do you get?

    Chiggysmom replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    This is a sad commentary but true and even sadder is, most of us will quietly accept this as our

  3. What kind of holiday bonus do you get?

    Chiggysmom replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, we as nurses have been both brainwashed and conditioned to believe that our job is done altruistically and that we shouldn't expect anything more from the hospital and should look to our...

  4. Rant about ungrateful, demanding patients

    Chiggysmom replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is the way it is at the hospital I work at as well. We are expected to fullfill their every need/desire no matter how absurd they are. As far as bunching everything up into one or two visits,...

  5. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ottawa, I'm terrified that this mandatory flu vaccination thing will be coming to our hospital next, since it seems it's already in place at several other facilities from reading the posts on this...

  6. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ottawa, If they decide to make the flu vaccine mandatory at the hospital where I work, I hope that we will be able to refuse for "personal reasons" as well. I don't know if things are different here...

  7. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CoolPeach, I feel so bad that you are still suffering like that because of the vaccine. What if what you're seeing and feeling, isn't the only damage

  8. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CuriousMe, You mean it's different at your hospital? They actually care about their staff as much as the patients and their bottom line as well? Where do you work? Is it a magnate hospital? I am...

  9. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CoolPeach, You are so-o right on! I've been saying for quite some time, that if the issue was "really" all about the patient then they wouldn't even LET US come to work when we're sick but instead,...

  10. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well said Ottawa!!! You stated everything I was thinking but I wasn't able to articulate it as well as you (responding to these things @ 1:30-2:00 in the morning when I should have been in bed might...

  11. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not going to argue this anymore with you but suffice to say that it should remain the individual's decision whether or not they want to submit to a vaccination, even if we just think we might...

  12. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CuriousMe, Another option the hospitals could exercise would be to allow staff to stay home whilst they are ill with the flu so as not to infect anyone, however; as you must well know most hospitals...

  13. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CuriousMe, You make it sound so simple, just get another job at another hospital if you don't want the vaccine. Well, have you not been reading the threads on here for quite some time regarding...

  14. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, that was really the only point I was making. When they force a mother to keep her unborn baby inside "her body" until a safe birth occurs, then maybe, just maybe, they'll have an argument....

  15. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why should those who don't even want the vaccine in the first place have to undergo any discomfort at all. In the same way that abstinance prevents pregnancy 100% of the time, avoiding the vaccine...

  16. Flu shot issue

    Chiggysmom replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Curious me, I usually just read the topics and the community comments but this one has me feeling like I need to participate somehow. I don't see why you feel so strongly that people should be forced...
