    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, that's another thing. I had never even heard of this glut of nurses until I was sitting in nursing class. EVERYTHING I have read up until this point is about a

  4. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe it isn't worth it. Maybe this isn't the right job for me. This issue matters to me. And, no, I don't think I want to constantly fight this battle year after year. I don't have the energy. But,...

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

  8. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They want us to think critically. Well, I'm a pretty critical thinker. Vaccines and glove wearing are not the same thing. I am taking a risk when I have something injected into my body. And, a...

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can tell from reading this thread that many nurses feel as I do. That's the thing. In order to do this I have to change my beliefs. Basically, it's someone getting inside my head telling me what I...

    imjustme123 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    imjustme123 replied to CatLee128's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I flunked my assessment not too long ago and had to do it over. I had the same types of thoughts you did but I think it's better to just do it over and move on. I will mention I did cry my eyes out...
