    THIS is why I'm more than happy to drive the extra 20 minutes in the opposite direction of my local hospital to get to work. I imagine it's even more embarrassing when you see someone out who came in...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I did get the link. I really have nothing to say about it. I understand how it works and I know research conflicts a lot. What harm is the vaccine causing? I was anti-vax because I was sheeple....

    ixchel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    No one, least of all me, is saying you need to apologize. I'm saying the advice you give is dangerous and based on very flawed information. I'm asking why you are here because I'm beyond confused why...

    I have learned I have no patience for people who believe they can stop the flu and asthma attacks within minutes of taking vitamin C. I need to step away from the interwebs, let night shift deal with...

    They are warning you to stop because the more you talk (write), the more obvious it is that you clearly do not understand what you are talking about at all, and you have absolutely no regard for the...

    Please forgive the rude, straightforwardness of this question, but why are you here on allnurses? I ask because based on your above statement, you clearly think nurses are idiots and our approach to...
