  1. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe it's because those shots actually do the intended job...a flu shot is a GUESS that you will be

  2. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, you haven't answered my question. Are you going to wear a mask during any contact with any of your patients this flu season or not? Because you MAY OR MAY NOT still be spreading the flu even...

  3. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    yes I do. But the benefits outweigh the risks for those vaccines. But flu shots are different. Like I said, you may or may not be protected with a flu vacc, you have to do it every year and it might...

  4. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are still putting your pts at risk, even with the vaccine. But if getting the vacc makes you feel better go ahead. But dont force it on others who choose not

  5. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm calling B.S. on this. The vaccine MAY be protecting patients, but you don't know until the season begins and we see which true strain is out and which one you were vaccinated against. Being that...

  6. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let me clarify, since I didn't make it clear on my post. I never thought the flu vaccine "caused" us to get the flu. But I do know, that the very first time myself and my family ever got the flu...

  7. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    MyUserName,RN replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I never get flu shots, I never get my kids flu shots...except for last year, I decided we all would get them. Well, last year was the first year any of us had the flu and we all spent a week on...

  8. What makes a good tech?

    MyUserName,RN replied to RedCarnation's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to be a good tech, you will be. I was a tech before becoming a nurse and I know it's not an easy job. I remember feeling like I was everybodies slave because some nurses ordered me around...

  9. Nurses - favorite part of your job and nursing school?

    MyUserName,RN replied to hmadden12's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is tough, I won't lie. But if I had to choose my favorite part, I guess its the relationships I formed with some of my classmates. Also, even though studying took up so much of my free...

  10. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    MyUserName,RN replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm starting to think it may all boil down to

  11. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    MyUserName,RN replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    it's interesting to note that you are requesting something that you aren't giving. in both your posts all i've seen is your opinion that you don't see the use in midlevels and you've given your...

  12. All nurses do is wipe butts

    MyUserName,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Or so some people seem to think, because since becoming a nurse (only about 5 months ago), I've had two jerks say that to me and completely and rudely undermine what I do by their ignorant comments....

  13. Threads being moved....

    MyUserName,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it just doesn't make sense why certain threads get moved. This is the General Nursing Discussion board right? Nobody goes to some of the other parts of the site that many of these threads...

  14. Threads being moved....

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said, if it clearly needs to be in another thread, sure, but it seems they are moving just to move these

  15. All nurses do is wipe butts

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies to everyone. I'm going to use some of them for sure. They definitely expect you to dish it back to them if they are giving you hell. But I just couldn't think of anything to...

  16. Threads being moved....

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been coming to this site for years and it seems that more recently, more and more gets moved. I like the way the site was handled before. People ask questions because they actually want a...

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good

  18. No one will hire a nurse with only a Associates???

    MyUserName,RN replied to CNA1991's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in my area, most nurses have associates and are getting hired, myself included 1 month after graduation. Not every area is the same, you may have to move

  19. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    MyUserName,RN replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    OP, I personally agree with OWS on many issues. It fires me up how corrupt this country is and how the government is allowing, condoning, even promoting and taking part in such corruption. The problem...

  20. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    MyUserName,RN replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I couldn't disagree more. When corporations have been and continuously are sending all of our jobs overseas to save money (meanwhile, making record profits) and laying off American workers in the...

  21. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    MyUserName,RN replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    If nursing is your passion, keep going for it. These nurses do not represent every nurse and not every nurse is miserable in their job. I know plenty of nurses who still love being a nurse after many...

  22. Any nurses out there graduate knowing everything?

    MyUserName,RN replied to brielle776's topic in General Nursing

    Of course not! I just graduated in May, started my first job in June. I felt like I didn't know anything when I started and still have a whole lot to learn. It's getting better though. My confidence...

  23. Is it weird that I love wound care?

    MyUserName,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was telling a couple of my friends the other day how I love doing wound care and dressing changes and they though I was a freak, like there was something really wrong with me. One made a joke that...

  24. Getting Into Hospital While In School

    MyUserName,RN replied to floridanurse1983's topic in General Nursing

    We have some LPN's in my hospital that work as telemetry techs just monitoring the screens, maybe check on

  25. Is it weird that I love wound care?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    lol! Yeah, the only thing that really grosses me out is mucous. I can handle poop, big oozing nasty wounds, vomit, blood...but somebody snotting stuff up/suction is just so gross to me. I can handle...
