  10. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    It's not mandatory "in the US," it's mandatory at certain facilities and not required at others. There is no one national policy that mandates flu vaccines for health care workers. At one place where...

  11. I am confused

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

    I know MANY nurses of color, so if you are not accepted to nursing school, it will not be due to the color of your

    What drugs do they keep on board

  13. Oxygen therapy in ED

    Horseshoe replied to nikki199's topic in Emergency

    But not all patients will need supplemental oxygen, which is the subject of the OP. As I said, it depends on the patient's medical history and current

  14. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    Surely you are not suggesting that getting the flu vaccine gives the person the flu or causes their risk of getting it to be higher. Give me a

  17. RN, BSN With a 2.9 GPA Wants a Master's

    Horseshoe replied to lobi722's topic in General Nursing

    Do REALLY REALLY well on your GRE exam. I don't see any possible way you can increase your GPA 4 years after being awarded your degree. The more competitive the program, the more emphasis will be...

  18. I know it's hard. But is it really that hard?

    Horseshoe replied to Stillthinkin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do you differentiate "hard" from "challenging"? Reading the nursing student forums, it's safe to say that MANY of them consider nursing school to be hard, not just time consuming. That's why the...

  20. A Nurses Duty to act

    Horseshoe replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    So the OP posts a bizarre question lacking important details, and doesn't bother to come back to clarify, comment, or thank anyone for their input. Why bother responding to this

  21. Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Emphasis is mine. As soon as I saw that, I knew there was something very fishy with this story. If the patient was "undergoing brain tests," then he could not be declared brain dead; no doctor is...

  22. Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, no physician who is an expert in brain death has re-tested Jahi McMath. I find it very suspicious that the family is not willing to allow her to be re-tested with every one of the...

    Horseshoe replied to nikki199's topic in Emergency

  25. Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    Horseshoe replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing
