  1. Medications to hold before a cardiac stress test and cath

    eroc replied to Sweetmelissa304's topic in Cardiac

    Hold beta blockers for exercise stress, not much of anything else for a nuclear, including giving beta-blockers. Depends on the cardiologist. Sure people may argue, but the cardiologists is the BC...

  2. Males considering nursing?

    eroc replied to gaits72's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sorry, your not an intellectual. Good luck trying to achieve a more difficult degree than the one you have

  3. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    eroc replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have those issues where I work (that the author suggests). I did at my last job….I

  4. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    In the world of fairy tales and pixy dust, no one has anything to gain. Everything is free. It amazes me the amount of trust in our government. And even more comical that people think the billions...

  5. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    There's no billion dollar support for that type of thing. So research will not be plenty, if any. Now cancer treatment that is extremely profitable….. Very sad people don't understand how...

  6. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I do support some use of vaccines, but I don't blindly buy into misdirection. But I love the the comeback from the anti-vaxxers, "[h=1]"Why are you worried about my unvaccinated kids if you're so sure...

  7. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I found it she was right it has been 47-60% over the five years before this year, but was much less in years before. So it did have a good run at roughly 50% of preventing people from getting "flu...

    Just to broaden your outlook. Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness in the Community and the

  9. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Please post your claims of 47-62% consistently… I am not going to manipulate data to back my claims….or justify my line of support. But I have stated pure data, not "what if" speculation....

  10. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    The CDC Website. Definitely not a 2010 article citing 2015 stats. CDC Presents Updated Estimates of Flu Vaccine ... And I want to people to understand the "estimate" is based on wording that can be...

  11. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    eroc replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    From the CDC website: These updated estimates were derived from data collected from the U.S. Flu VE Network from November 10, 2014, through January 30, 2015, and include an additional four weeks of...

  12. Attorney contacted me about lawsuit

    eroc replied to forgop's topic in General Nursing

    Lot of bad advice in this thread, even from people who have "experience." Listen to your attorney/friend….people acting like you are in some kinda

  13. Are too many certifications a bad thing?

    eroc replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is the amount of hours…not years…of bedside care. The year criteria is so that you can show you are actively working as a bedside nurse. Initial Eligibility Requirements And good...

  14. Why don't you just read the chart?

    eroc replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually it is not, because either way you have to assess your patient when he hits the floor, and you should immediately see the gauge when you look at them. It's not a secret code that only I can...

  15. Help with a school assignment

    eroc replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does it blow your mind that this site promotes this type of thing? And you are incorrect in your

  16. I'm a sexless nurse

    eroc replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure your idea of unscientific and scientific falls under different parameters than mine also. Your thinking is most likely following an outline based off a theory and BAM!! "It's scientific...

  17. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    eroc replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, went to another level of nursing. Nothing wrong with that, as there is nothing wrong with wanting to practice in all scopes of nursing before assuming they are all on the same levels of practice....

  18. I'm a sexless nurse

    eroc replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it up. Wanting to be intelligent does not make it so…as you continue to show in your surface only

  19. Help with a school assignment

    eroc replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Naplois1, Like the Admin of this site I support you getting different perspectives from a nursing forum….you know, where nurses come to post. Some people just like to gang up and force their...

  20. Why don't you just read the chart?

    eroc replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree, as have worked all levels of care also. And working in the ED I know what each one needs to know, versus what they want to know. Wanting and needing are to different things. Wanting to know...

  21. Why don't you just read the chart?

    eroc replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, I only want to know the details that are subjective, and anything that I need to take care of once they get to the floor. I think it is sad that many nurses don't check the chart before moving...

  22. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    eroc replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I have done LTC (very briefly), med-surg, telemetry, some ED, and currently open heart recovery (CVICU). I was a "nurse" the entire time. But let me tell you…ICU is a-whole-nother level of...

  23. Help with a school assignment

    eroc replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think your going to continue to be harassed, even though a Mod moved this thread to a forum specifically for this type of thing. I was busy earlier….but that's no one's business. ›Is...

  24. Help with a school assignment

    eroc replied to napolis1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Getting my BSN did not help me in any shape, form or fashion related to knowledge. Maybe because I educate myself continuously. And as a whole, I do not consider a BSN nurse a having any more than...

  25. I'm a sexless nurse

    eroc replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Everything is anecdotal evidence. Nursing research is majority anecdotal, as proved by every study stating "more research needs to be done" on said project, because it is anecdotal…. But again...
