  1. Worried about socialising

    Horseshoe replied to guest1008923's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I kind of enjoyed not having to see people-I'm introverted and a homebody. Not having to make an excuse not to see anyone and everyone who invited us to do something was such a relief! My very social...

  2. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Then you are relying on crap. As told to you numerous times, VAERS cautions that you CANNOT claim causation from any of the reports on their site. That is not the intention of

  3. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    VAERS says of itself: "Serious adverse events are more likely to be reported than non-serious events." "Probably implies..." "Likely undercounts..." Vague, imprecise language with...

  4. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The only conclusions one can draw from VAERS reports are that a given reported adverse effect needs further study. Clusters of reports of the same adverse effects would need close scrutiny....

  5. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course they are dismissed by experts when anti-vaxxers try to use VAERS as some kind of proof that vaccines cause deaths and xyz adverse effects. VAERS reports without validation are useless....

  6. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anyone can say anything on VAERS. It's basically worthless

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not convincing at all. No one is forced to get a vaccine.

  8. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The answer to your question is you can't. No competent individual in the US can be "forced" to get a vaccine or any other treatment. Requiring proof of vaccination as a condition of employment is NOT...

  9. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, it does NOT support the thesis that infection is superior to vaccination. Infected + vaccination is not the same as infected and NOT vaccinated. From your own link: "It tells me that even if...

  10. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Re-read this statement from that article: "The history of vaccines shows that delayed effects from vaccination can occur. But when they do, these effects tend to happen within two months of...

  11. Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Death isn't the only bad outcome of Covid. There are many long haulers and young people are experiencing this as

  12. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Horseshoe replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My financial POA took effect the day my very competent Dad signed it. He didn't want me to have any trouble should something happen to him. I never utilized it until he had a serious stroke and became...

  13. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Horseshoe replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thread title asks the question "Does the shot mess with your DNA?" Therefore it is actually completely

  14. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Horseshoe replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Exactly. Think of all the doctors, nurses, etc., who should be dropping like flies if this were true. Staff in ORs, procedure rooms, infectious disease units, organ and bone marrow transplant units,...

  15. Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I predict it will translate the same as it does for flu vaccine requirements. The employer will respect the nurse's right to choose whether or not (s)he wants to receive the COVID vaccine, and the...

  16. Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's true. Proof of vaccination in order to travel is nothing new. It's not universally applied, but vaccination requirements in order to enter certain countries have been a thing since at least the...

  17. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Horseshoe replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In the US, we have not actually had "lockdowns," though that term is thrown around constantly. No one has kept me from going anywhere I like. Many of us voluntarily stayed home much more than normal...

  18. Covid Vaccine

    Horseshoe replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. I get tired of seeing that word used constantly. No competent adult (in the US anyway) is ever "forced" to get a vaccine without their consent. They may consent after feeling...

  19. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Horseshoe replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everyone in my family except 3 y/o step grandchild has now been vaccinated. All of us got Pfizer except MIL (got Moderna). None of us had severe side effects, though everyone did have a pretty sore...

  20. COVID vaccine given way too low in the arm

    Horseshoe replied to SN2751's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wouldn't "re-educated" be a better tactic? Everything is so punitive these

  21. End stage glioblastoma

    Horseshoe posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Question for hospice nurses: Today my friend's daughter lost her battle with stage 4 glioblastoma, less than one year after diagnosis and aggressive treatment and after only five days in hospice care....

  22. Is our unit being punished for the actions of one nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to Boottuff's topic in General Nursing

    You actually think John Q Public would give a rat's behind about turf wars between nursing units?

  23. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even know if I worked with an ex-cheerleader. Are these people being mentioned advertising that they were a cheerleader in high school? Why would anyone care?????? Also, does anyone...

  24. On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    Horseshoe replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    I'm seconding the advice to check into social security survivor's benefits. Make sure you are making your counseling appointments. Your 12 year old needs a healthy mother. So sorry for your

  25. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Spring break just started and you're already
