  1. Totally true and they are working with the Irishish goverment to send nurses over.
  2. 1)__ Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? NO NO - I took it 4 years ago and had a very bad neurological reaction - still recovering. I was a very health and energetic women prior to 2011. I worked in the best OR in the US and worked with the sickest population and was never sick until the 2011 flu shot. The simplest way to explain my reaction to the flu shot. SX was a stroke victim with RA and chronic fatigue. My naturopathic physician put me on the road to recovery. The big Boston Hospitals looked at me like I was crazy and need to be check into McLean Hospital. This article is validation that I was not crazy that in 2011 something was wrong with the flu shot, we did not hear about over in the US due to the drug companies and the great lobbyists they have. I reported my situation to the CDC and VARS. 300,000 doses of flu vaccine Preflucel withdrawn in alert over side-effects By Sadie Whitelocks Updated: 07:55 EST, 27 October 2011 Preflucel has been recalled amid fears it is making people ill A flu vaccine has been recalled from thousands of surgeries and pharmacies across Europe amid fears it is making people ill. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a warning over Preflucel, a popular influenza vaccine. Around 300,000 doses of the drug are to be immediately withdrawn following fears from health bosses that the most recent batch, issued last month, is causing side-effects. A high percentage of those vaccinated with Preflucel have reported fatigue, muscle pain and headaches. Alternative products will now be made available to prevent any shortages. Newbury-based Baxter Healthcare, which manufacturers the drug, approved for use in March said that patients with concerns should contact their GP. A statement read: 'There has been a higher-than-expected reporting of adverse reactions after administration of vaccines from this batch. 'Any stock should be quarantined and returned via the normal channels. 'No further Preflucel of any batch should be administered at this time.' In Scotland 2,500 vaccines have been recalled and Preflucel will not be issued until further notice. In response the Scottish Government has ordered more than 1.1million doses of other flu drugs. Despite fears, a spokesman urged people not to panic: 'This recall does not affect the flu vaccination programme, for which over 1.1 million doses of other flu vaccines have been ordered. Experts say the side-effects are those usually associated with flu vaccines 'Individuals who have been vaccinated with Preflucel should not be concerned. 'Most of the side-effects are those usually associated with flu vaccines - they have started shortly after the vaccination and have been mild and short-lived. 'The vaccine is being recalled because these side-effects have been reported more frequently with this specific batch.' It was labelled as suitable for patients with allergies because it does not contain egg and is expected to provide up to 80 per cent protection against influenza. A spokesman said the recall was a 'precautionary measure' due to reports of adverse reactions. Preflucel is one of 13 different flu vaccines being used to protect people against the Winter virus 2)__ Does your employer have a mandatory influenza vaccination policy as a condition of employment? If yes, where do you work? No - however you need to sign a waiver form. 3)__ What concerns do you have about the flu vaccine? That is is NOT for everyone! 4)__ Do you know if anyone who has been released from their job because they did not get the flu vaccine? No

  4. do it - it you become an RN with your coding experience you can name your price. the big hosiptals are in need of medical coders who know both sides. I am an surg tech & I am currenlty in an RN program, when I am done I am going to go & learn how to code. The big hosiptals are in such a need they said to my professor; "tell her she can name her price average 90-100 an hour coding." I have the OR training which is huge & that is what they are looking for. I plan on doing it for extra cash. Best of luck - go for it.
  5. Thank You for sharing - I will pass your advice onto my fellow classmates.
