  1. UTA NURS 5327

    I am in week 4 of my first online MSN class at UTA. My concept paper was turned in 2 days ago. I am sweating bullets thinking that I may fail this class with a grade of 82. That's right, C is the new F when you enter the graduate program. It is a lo...
  2. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    Nurse Practitioners are at the forefront of healthcare reform. Many patients only contact with a healthcare professional will be with a Nurse Practitioner. My question is this: Do you cringe when you see a nurse practitioner dressed inappropriately f...
  3. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    It was one of those "voluntary" campaigns, similar to flu vaccination, that they were trying to roll out. I remember when the Administrators started talking about a "get vaccinated or lose your job" stance. I was in California and man it was going to...
  4. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    I believe that the CNA stopped that initiative dead in its tracks. I've had two smallpox vaccinations in my life. Once as a child and once at the MEPS. I would refuse a third simply because it gives me the Heebie-Jeebies just thinking about the way i...
  5. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    When you have a 99.019% vaccination rate, then the theoretical herd-immunity should prevent any infections. If you put 101 blue chips and one red chip in a hat, then you should not draw out 18 red chips. These were strong, healthy sailors that rece...
  6. Board Ordered Mental Health/Substance Abuse Evaluation in KY

    The problem is not the fact that you had two misdemeanors, it was the fact that there was such a large time gap between the two. The board figures that if you did not learn from the first mistake that you probably did not learn from the second. My ad...

    Oh, by the way.....which one's Pink?

    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth
  9. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Now, I really have pi all over my face
  10. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    No, I support neither as both are dystopian and fascist in nature (Think Nazism disguised as altruism). I was just stating the best answer to a misguided question. What we need to do is ask the pertinent question of "Why" the elderly are at such high...
  11. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    There were 18 confirmed cases of H3N2."...18 crew members with confirmed influenza A (H3N2) infection had received the 2013–14 influenza vaccine..." I AM NOT AN ANTI-VAXXER. Just anti vaccines that do not work.
  12. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Read This Sailors get flu despite 99% vaccination rate.
  13. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    You put on a fresh mask each time you enter a patient's room and then remove it before performing your hand-hygiene.
  14. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    I never mentioned effectiveness just attributable influenza-associated deaths. In an earlier post I mentioned that the best way to protect the elderly is to vaccinate the children. They would then in essence have all of the responsibility and all...
  15. 16 years ago, a doctor published a study, and it made us all sick

    5 DTAPs, 4 Polios, 3 MMRs, 3 TDs, 3 Hep Bs, and two small pox vaccinations. These are the vaccinations that I am aware of being given and do not count the many that I received at the MEPS. I have been kept safe from horrible diseases thanks to the...
  16. Why did you want to be a nurse?

    I was 28 years old with no real job prospects and the mother of my children was in nursing school. She had money left over from the Pell Grant and said I could use it to go back to college. I already had my physics, chemistry, and biology out of the ...
  17. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    All studies support vaccinating those who care for the elderly since 95% of all influenza deaths are suffered by those 65 or older. Very few children die from influenza each year and it could be rationally argued that fewer than 50 children die of th...
  18. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    This is the same government that has become a fascist state in which corporations wield power. GMOs are king and stated to be safe, yet no one one in D.C. eats food with GMOs. The same government that raided seed banks in Iraq. The same government th...
  19. Please stop making that sound !

    This song will give you all the answers you need for your situation.....It is the only cure for someone who is completely annoyed by everything they hear
  20. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/statisticsreport.pdf And these are only the people who knew enough to seek compensation. For every person who reports a reaction, there are thousands more whose doctors advised them that "Vaccines do no harm".
  21. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    I can make any therapy look effective just by simply cherry-picking the available data. Which is what most researchers do, anyway.
  22. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    I will get mine as late as possible. Reluctantly, but I will do it.
  23. How to give IVP into a primary line with incompatible medications?

    BTW, IV Valium is incompatible with EVERYTHING. Give it as close as possible then flush like a ......(Shut your Mouth). One thing to consider is that once it enters the heart, everything is compatible. Interesting side note: Precipitate will cause a ...
  24. Affordable housing in the SF Bay Area

    Traveling to a historic city like SF can be exciting. However, you really should have the agency deal with the housing arrangements. My advice to anyone traveling to a locality for the first time is NEVER try to find your own housing. Of course, you ...
