  1. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, let's DO hear from him! I believe he had this to say about vaccines: If you want to hold this guy's opinions up as valid and worth believing, then you cannot omit the above statement. Doing...

  2. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    The typical anti vaxxer stance is that vaccines, which are composed of tiny particles of inactivated or even "killed" viruses, are harmful to human beings. Yet they believe that humans are not even...

  3. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, how many people are walking around with "no immune system"? I'd say none, because those folks are all safely ensconced in the bone marrow transplant unit. Secondly, vaccine shedding...

  4. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Please provide one documented instance of a nurse physically forcing a vaccine on anyone, whether child or adult. I postulate that you won't find one, much less the MULTIPLES you are

  5. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting how when anyone brings up the Guillain Barre argument as an anti vaxx meme, they CONVENIENTLY omit the following: Talk about intellectual dishonesty! elkpark schools 'em once

  6. Applying for nursing school on antidepressants

    Horseshoe replied to kristinamarie55's topic in General Students

    I don't think you understand HIPAA

  7. How often does this happen

    Horseshoe replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was going to "like" it again, but it won't let

  8. Dumbest thing a doctor has done/said to you

    Horseshoe replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He's lucky. A whole lot of nurses would have called security on him or

  9. How often does this happen

    Horseshoe replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would most certainly "disobey" an order if it was wrong, dangerous, an obvious mistake, etc. I'd call the doc, tell him my objections, and listen to his answer. One doc (not a resident) ordered...

  10. Unable to endorse my license

    Horseshoe replied to Mommynursegrace's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you learn something new here on AN every day. I had no idea CA allowed

  11. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    That's another straw man. Which has more adverse effects on the population, polio vaccine or a polio epidemic? Eliminate vaccines. You will have morbidity and mortality on a scale hundreds and...

  12. Hospital that bans family members

    Horseshoe replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, that's so very sad. My

  13. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to be SURE. You tell your manager, "I'm not sure what's going on here, but Nurse John keeps doing the following: blah blah blah. I'm concerned there may be diversion going on, though...

  14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Do you wear seat belts and would you put your child into a seat belt? Why would you do that? They are not 100% effective, so what is the use of putting them on yourself or your precious

  15. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    That is such a straw man argument. Because NO ONE has EVER argued that vaccines are 100% effective, your argument falls completely flat. We don't ever know which child will not seroconvert after a...

  16. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    So do we want to see the "results" of polio in our unvaccinated children if we lose herd immunity as a result of the anti-vaxxers' crusade? How about results of Pertussis, diptheria, etc.? The...

  17. Can my school force me to do extra tests after i graduated before they schedule my nclex??

    Horseshoe replied to Mims84's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just curious, what was the rationale provided by the school for demanding you all take additional tests after

  18. Would you report possible diversion?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When you see a post to which you want to respond, please use the "quote" button right next to the "reply" button so everyone reading can know what you're talking

  19. HIPAA violation question

    Horseshoe replied to burd24's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You abused the trust given to you by your school and facility. You know darn well you could have waited until the ICU staff was able to let you in. That said, I guess you better hope that this isn't...

  20. Balancing work and family

    Horseshoe replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that is the trade off. You can do anything one day a week, right? I'd say just have a positive attitude when you go in each day. You are keeping your license active, which is really...

  21. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "Big Pharma makes billions on vaccines so they want everyone to have one" argument is so lacking in logic. Big Pharma would make TONS MORE profits off letting us all get sick and selling us...

  22. Auburn vs. Emory BSN

    Horseshoe replied to madipx's topic in School, College Programs

    If Emory is going to require massive student loans, stay at

  23. Clinical classmates hate me

    Horseshoe replied to emilylizj's topic in General Students

    I think this, just as much as the prof calling you "smart girl", may explain what is going on. You may not realize how you are coming off when you "help." It's really your CI's job to help them with...

  24. Work and pets?

    Horseshoe replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

    True. You can also come home to another animal who has availed himself of the door. Though there are now special doggy doors that won't open unless the animal is wearing a special collar that allows...

  25. Can my school force me to do extra tests after i graduated before they schedule my nclex??

    Horseshoe replied to Mims84's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Getting the lawyer involved may end up being very expensive. But if they are holding you hostage so to speak, perhaps getting him to send a strongly worded cease and desist letter would do the trick....
