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 MD. There are a few reasons not to give a beta block...

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

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

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 spent by lobbyist is ethical. (But then again people ...

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 "research" really gets funded. There is a middle ground, bu...

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 vaccines work?"[/h]

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 like symptoms". U.S. Flu Vaccine Effectiveness (VE) ...

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

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. WHich is what you just posted. Overstating is bad science.

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 broad and non-specific allowing for the number to b...

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 data in comparison to CDC's early VE estimates relea...

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 trouble.

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 luck explaining being a med/surg nurse if you are audited by ...

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 see, but if you need a cheat sheet to know which col...

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

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 research" You show through your posts that to like to s...

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. Until one does…who's to know.

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

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 views no matter how unwelcome they are. We do not all sha...

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 what gauge the IV is…is not important unless it ...

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 forward in treating their patient. They are being tr...

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 nursing. But yes a nurse is a nurse, just the same as a do...

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 lifelong learning important to you? Yes ›Do you feel cont...

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 an insignificant amount of preparation compared to ...

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 you point out anecdotal evidence of the double standard...
