  1. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You have GOT to be kidding. You don't see how it would be UNETHICAL to give a cancer patient a placebo during a drug trial?!?!?!? Have you even thought through what you just

  2. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    You insulted another poster. I'm sure when you do it, it's "mild." Sorry, I think you are being disingenuous in your finger

  3. Maternity discrimination

    Horseshoe replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    Pregnancy Discrimination Good luck proving it, though. I had a potential employer once tell me that I was a perfect candidate for the (non nursing) job, but that he was hesitating because I was a...

  4. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Be honest-you've done exactly what you are charging. I've seen you do it in this very

  5. Please stop making that sound !

    Horseshoe replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, interesting. I recently learned that there are people who love to watch back and neck adjustments on YouTube. They love to hear and see chiropractors cracking peoples' backs. This sounds like...

  6. Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    Horseshoe replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above in treating everyone as if they have a blood borne pathogen. Universal

  7. Maternity discrimination

    Horseshoe replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    Did you tell them you were pregnant? I'm confused-are you saying you were discriminated against for being pregnant even though you weren't

  8. 16 years ago, a doctor published a study, and it made us all sick

    Horseshoe replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And yet there are posts being made to the vaccine thread in General Nursing which are still perpetuating the "vaccines cause autism"

  9. Did I do the right thing?

    Horseshoe replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think you should have rolled your eyes. It would be the right thing to do every time with this patient. Until she actually does have an MI, and the record shows that you did nothing for this...

  10. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Just as a general statement, no, I do not have to always respect the beliefs of others. I respect the concept of free speech, but I absolutely am NOT under any moral obligation to respect...

  11. Please stop making that sound !

    Horseshoe replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    I used to have a visceral reaction to my DH's chewing his food. It drove me up the freaking wall. But he wasn't doing anything wrong, like chewing with his mouth open or anything he could do to...

  12. Please stop making that sound !

    Horseshoe replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and she asked how she can "cope." That's the only way I know to cope with things that "annoy" you. If you are doing it yourself, or have other imperfections, I think it's good to remind...

  13. Please stop making that sound !

    Horseshoe replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    You cope by reminding yourself that no one is perfect, that everyone has their quirks, YOU INCLUDED. Focus on your own shortcomings; if you are normal, you have plenty to keep yourself

  14. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have no doubt, because I know vitamin C cannot "CURE" a viral infection in minutes. Even most individuals who espouse homeopathic medicines know that. Anyone who has even a basic...

  15. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can a)believe you had a cold and b)believe you are cured EVERY time within minutes, even though people educated about viruses know there is no treatment which can CURE a virus within...

  16. Late on interview.

    Horseshoe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas, there may be facility distinctions. On the oncology unit where I did a rotation in nursing school, the LVNs could not give IV drugs. This was a huge hassle for the RNs. Can you imagine...

  17. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I myself take vitamin C, but curing any viral condition within minutes is IMPOSSIBLE. We have here a very clear case of placebo effect. Which is fine, but cannot be called a

  18. colleague does not want to take day off

    Horseshoe replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    My Dad is 79 and he really does have more energy than I do. He's retired, but he volunteers as much as possible and still wants to keep moving, doing, seeing. This just happens to be the way...

  19. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, another research fraud comes to mind: that of Andrew Wakefield. To this day, many people still hold onto the idea that this research was done according to sound principles of research and the...

  20. Late on interview.

    Horseshoe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    There really is zero downside to improving one's communication skills. Perception can at times be reality, and I've seen intelligent and experienced nurses treated as though they were idiots because...

  21. Late on interview.

    Horseshoe replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    I love peanut butter, but sometimes the smell repulses me, so I have to agree with

  22. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    And so the solution is to embrace claims made by people which have not held up to any scientific scrutiny whatsoever?! Okay, I postulate that cotton candy cured my friend's cancer. I can state that...

  23. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    The laws are tightening up on parents refusing to vaccinate their kids and still expecting to send them to public schools. Again, they are being given a CHOICE whether to vaccinate and utilize public...

  24. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Horseshoe replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    That's not how it works. Anyone talking about the benefits of any given treatment should hope that there are studies to show that they are effective. You don't put the burden on researchers to prove...

  25. Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Horseshoe replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    You actually said "almost EVERY instructor." Which implies a whole lot more than one or two, seeing as how you chose to put EVERY in all caps. It kind of implied you actually meant pretty much EVERY...
