  1. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What a bunch of baloney. NO, we CANNOT "extrapolate a minimum of 8400 actual deaths which occurred in the US from tetorifice vaccines." Anyone can report anything to VAERS, with no proof whatsoever of...

  2. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the practice of prophylactic antibiotics given to prevent strep in babies of colonized mothers other than what one could learn in a brief Google search. What are you basing...

  3. Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    The interview process has very little in common with a "popularity contest" as most people would define it. It's about THIS. And ability to communicate accurately and effectively under

  4. Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Horseshoe replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    Med schools are known for their rigorous interview process. Your "awkward doctor" most certainly interviewed for med school and was

  5. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When you stated an "opinion" that kids get too many vaccines, I assumed that there was some kind of scientific reasoning behind it. Asking you to clarify is not "coming at you"-why would you see it...

  6. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I responded to your post in that thread, so I'll re-state what I said there as well. But first: how many vaccines are "too many"? And what is your worry about how close together they are and what is...

  7. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    The vaccines that children get nowadays have only a fraction of the antigens that children received in past vaccines, even though they get more vaccines. So there is no validity to the concern that...

  8. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    Horseshoe replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I used to record myself testing myself on content related questions. I would play the recording in my car on the way to school (1 hour each way). It was a good way to see what stuff I actually knew...

  9. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I imagine geographical location plays a part. I never even was required to get a flu shot, though we were encouraged to do so and could get one for free at employee health. But no requirements beyond...

  10. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    So they can spread "the truth" to all those unsuspecting

  11. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Don't you people get it? These anti-vaccine folks are lions in the face of infectious disease. Though, for some reason, they seem to be delicate dandelions in the face of an infinitesimally small...

  12. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    As a working RN (almost 23 years), I have never been required to show proof of any vaccine. It was only in nursing school that I had that

  13. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it wasn't a wake up call to his own parents, who refused the second tetorifice vaccine. If parents who have witnessed this kind of suffering with their own eyes don't wake up, I'm not holding my...

  14. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why "obviously"? There are a disgusting amount of "medically trained" nurses who are anti-vax. Some of them even post their nonsense here on AN. Not only that, there are with increasing frequency...

  15. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Not only are they irretrievably stupid, but imo they are beyond negligent and don't deserve to parent those

  16. Implied/actual 'Right' for nurses to 'Do' Hands-on Procedures.

    Horseshoe replied to James W.'s topic in General Students

    And EVEN THEN: If a patient not of sound mind doesn't want X person touching her, but calms down when person Y deals with her, there is no reason whatsoever to force person X on her. It's just common...

  17. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to carti's topic in General Students

    It seems that he actually means "evict"

  18. smokers and coughing

    Horseshoe replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Well, for years I thought I got a cold every Christmas. Then...ding ding ding! Live Christmas tree. Funny how I quit getting colds every Christmas once we bought an artificial tree.

  19. Leaving nursing

    Horseshoe replied to nay2018's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, EVERYBODY in the field are weirdos and rude. Wait-YOU are in the medical field as well,

  20. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I knew you were. But they are not going to do

  21. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to carti's topic in General Students

    The thing is, there is no "fundamental right" for any nurse, male or female, to perform an invasive procedure like a foley insertion on an unwilling patient. So whether the patient refuses because the...

  22. "ASKholes"

    Horseshoe replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

    A tad bit more accurate.

  23. I'm Quitting nursing to work in coffee shop

    Horseshoe replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    That certainly

  24. I'm Quitting nursing to work in coffee shop

    Horseshoe replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    $30 bucks a day in tips might be nice for a teen, but not for someone doing the whole adulting

  25. Living paycheck to paycheck

    Horseshoe replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why you think lawyers are in such good shape. Many of my Ds peers in law school are coming out with loans in excess of 150K, some with more when you consider undergrad. We paid for our...
