    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    MunoRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I would find that potentially interesting if there was any new information that could come out of it. The supposed "coverup" has already been out there, and it's now pretty clear that the excluded...

    Am I On Camera? No Paparazzi Please!

    MunoRN replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    Discovery of Falsified Documentation

    MunoRN replied to travelingrn2001's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    MunoRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're confusing an antibody mediated immune response and a cell-mediated immune response in terms of what sort of threat you might pose to others. When someone lacks the ability to present...

    MunoRN replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    Am I On Camera? No Paparazzi Please!

    Discovery of Falsified Documentation

    MunoRN replied to travelingrn2001's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How are they going to "have questions about a doctors note" if they aren't allowed practical access to the note? How is it better for a patient to not know they need to have a potential malignancy...

    Discovery of Falsified Documentation

    MunoRN replied to travelingrn2001's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    MunoRN replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I've gotten vaccines, I've given vaccines, yet I've never come across any doctor or nurse who has told a patient that "vaccines do no harm". Everyone receiving a vaccine is also legally required to...
