    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is really what has us most concerned, and why there are many (perceived hurtful) comments that OP shouldn't be a nurse. We as nurses are incredibly protective of our patients. They come...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Orion81RN replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I found an article earlier today about a doctor who was accused of professional misconduct for having his nurse sign HER name. Not the same, but I found it interesting. I don't know how to upload the...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way that is true. As I stated previously, there are plenty of areas of nursing where the flu vaccine is not mandatory for employment. Heavily encouraged, yes. But to say she can't work in...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Nah. There are plenty areas of nursing where its not a requirement. I've never once had to show proof of vaccination (flu.) But for clinicals? Definitely. Edited to say, Im now wondering if I misread...

    Is this rude or is it just me?

    Orion81RN replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is rude at all. If I answer a call light, and the patient says "I'm looking for my meds," I'm not going to assume the patient is talking about their regular scheduled meds and that...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Orion81RN replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    Even verbal orders eventually need to be signed, though, no? So their rationale still makes no sense to me. For example, when we would get an admission in ltac, we would obtain telephone and verbal...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really wondering what your point is with this link. It backs up what others are saying, not you. You state that the flu vaccine only helps those who have been vaccinated. This is a direct quote...

    Nosebleeds

    Orion81RN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I remember getting a nose bleed when I was 14 in class. It never even occurred to me to go to the nurse. I doubt it occurred to my teacher either who sent me to the bathroom where I requested to go. I...

    Not sure what to do.

    Orion81RN replied to Cosmos97's topic in Private Duty

    You don't report off to anyone? That boggles my mind. This was just waiting to happen. With or without leaving 15 minutes early. There is no way I'd be comfortable doing that. Yeah, no. Sorry, mom. Im...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    There is a huge difference between a nurse who doesn't want the flu vaccine yet gets it anyway due to career consequences, and someone willing to give up their career over it. One is reasonable. One...

    How to perform Heimlich Maneuver for quadriplegic, bedridden and fragile patient?

    Orion81RN replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    Delete I don't understand what is so confusing about this question. Its a perfectly reasonable question to wonder how, body mechanics wise, one would perform the heimlich on a wheelchair patient....

    NCLEX registration with pending charge

    Orion81RN replied to L7707's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't have advice as to what you should do, but I wanted to give you the heads up that even if your charge is dismissed you will probably still have to answer to the BON. It's not really a big deal,...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome! My post won't let me edit, but I want to clarify that I meant that I doubt it was true that someone developed fatty liver from a keto

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. People have reversed their fatty liver on keto. Actually, I'm going to go so far as to say that I doubt this is true. It is much more likely that she already had a fatty

    My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    Orion81RN replied to Roger reed's topic in General Nursing

    So exactly as I stated. You are disrespecting her. Yep, I hope you do show her this thread. Yet something tells me you won't. And it has nothing to do with us not being "laid back." Even if your wife...

    Nurses Eat Their Young

    Orion81RN replied to MBar1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the topic is really as deep as you think it is. I believe nurse bullies would be bullies in any career they chose. I didn't really agree with this before, but I now do believe this...

    My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    Orion81RN replied to Roger reed's topic in General Nursing

    On the off chance you're not a troll, I'd like to point out that your wife is not a child. Perhaps she is sensitive. That doesn't make it ok to intentionally press buttons. THAT is childish...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think you were. I just find it interesting. Maybe I just truly don't know anyone else on keto? In real

    HELP! Need to make decision!

    Orion81RN replied to LaurynZara's topic in General Students

    Body mechanics and positioning for a heavy completely non mobile trached and vented patient....is not common sense. I do private duty nursing and my patient doesn't let me change his shirt bc Im...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I keep hearing this lately. That people who eat keto don't stop talking about it. I only mentioned it here bc its pertinent to the conversation. In general I don't tell anyone at all. I don't want to...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I genuinely tried to read through the entirety of that 2nd article. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for the author to explain HOW this is political. Sorry, I'm not spending a half hour of...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I completely agree. If they were taking away options, then I would fully agree that they (politicians) are dismissing diets such as keto (a diet that is greatly benefitting me...
