At what point can mandates go too far?
We, healthcare professionals, can’t even do infection control IN A HOSPITAL adequately enough to stop nosocomial infections. How in the name of Zeus’s butthole, can anyone reasonably expect, non-medical John/Jane Q Public to do it right? I wore a mask in the OR for two years, there were times, rarely, that we got back to back AAA’s, everyone got a break. Our AAAs lasted 8 hrs average. I don’t know if anyone has addressed this or not, but what about the lack of challenge to our immune system? BC (Before Covid), when your wait person spoke holding your food, they inoculated your food with whatever critter were a part of their normal flora and fauna. Not to mention the kitchen, where yelling is the norm, and multiple people are inoculating everyone’s food. We didn’t think twice about it. Now the mass media has effectively turned us into Mr. Monks, (if you aren’t familiar with the reference, it’s a great show.) Our immune system is a use it or lose it system, like endogenous steroid.

At what point can mandates go too far?
When they mandate some mark to indicate “vaccine” status. When movement is restricted due to “vaccine” status. When medical treatment is withheld due to “vaccine” status, even for non-kung flu issues. When people are segregated based on “vaccine” status. When people are euthanized based on “vaccine” status. Think I’m being hyperbolic? Remember when a “vaccine” mandate was considered hyperbolic conspiracy theory, I do.

Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people
You do realize that animals are given the same medications as humans sometimes, right? There is an actual smear campaign going on about ivermectin as there was for hydroxychloroquine. Outside the US they are used with good effect, but the fda run by former and future big pharmaceutical executives have stifled, with the assistance of the mass media, to vilify legitimate treatments. You can check this out for yourselves, if there is a treatment, then the “vaccines” lose their Emergency Use Authorization. That is a lot of money lost if that happens, too big to fail sound familiar?

I don’t get why you don’t think ivermectin is not FDA approved. Unplug from the MSM and read. Ivermectin is an antiparacidic, we use for scabies in humans. It has an excellent safety record, more than I can say about the “vaccine”, most of which are not FDA approved and zero safety record. Side effects are still being recorded.

Anybody ever seen anything like this??
It has always been fear we have fought, media driven fear.

NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent
When did this start? The last two jobs I interviewed for were for home visits. They paid % of billed, required to carry own malpractice, 1099, no mileage, no benefits. One place was paying $17 a visit, one place 40% of billed/collected, the other 30% billed for 90 days- then 50K base and 30% collected. What ever happened to, salary and benefits? I can tell you absolutely, that in the valley of the sun, if you aren’t FNP/PA-C or PMHNP, you are SOL.

Depression
Look into ketamine therapy. It helped me.

Epileptic Nurse Anesthetist
The head of anesthesia where I worked as an anesthesia technician was an epileptic. I hadn’t a clue until a few years after I left. My coworker reported that he had a seizure while driving. He remained head of the anesthesia group. They shouldn’t terminate you for your medical condition, I believe there are laws prohibiting that sort of thing.

Ophthalmology NP
I asked an Ophthalmologist this once. He said optometrists were the PAs for ophthalmologists for the most part. Im a polio victim when it comes to eyes. We didn’t get any training in that I recall.

Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition
So, instead of taking this to PMs and discussing this like adults. You feel compelled to go all Donald Sutherland from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

How am I a denier? Because a doubt the safety of a vaccine developed in <9 months?

Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition
I have been all over the US. I’m currently in AZ. I interviewed recently and the person interviewing me mentioned that his ex-fiancé went to Duke. At which point I closed my portfolio and started to get, I was kidding and we kept talking. Guess what, I didn’t get the job.

Covid-19: Contacted by your state’s BON
I don’t believe you can speak definitely for all BON’s, so there is that. There is, how ever, in times of great need (I guess a pandemic isn’t that time) when nursing “force” needs to be mobilized. Were I to have any influence with my BON, I would data mine for all RNs and send an email blast daily until nursing needs weren’t in critical demand. A friend’s SO is in Vegas getting paid $10K/week as an ICO RN. I’m all for great pay for nurses, but come on.

I went to Duke, I’ve been unemployed for 2 years. I don’t think my affiliation has helped me.

Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine
That is a risk I’m willing to take. No one can make me take a risk. I’m high risk, according to “experts” I will die, not might die, WILL die. There is a 99+% recovery rate, I’m good with that. I don’t presume to dictate the path for others to take. Everyone taking the vaccine still doesn’t do away with masks and social distancing. Who’s to say that bat soup croup vaccines won’t be a yearly thing? Or monthly, or however often the powers that be dictate? Pass. Don’t give me static or tell me I am a murderer for not taking the vaccine or wearing a mask. I especially love that accusation, makes me feel like Genghis Kahn.

Is it normal for nurses to enjoy hunting??
Hunting is not abnormal. I’m sorry that your indoctrination has made you feel guilt about a very useful skill and a relaxing sport. Keep doing what you like.

Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine
I would take the vaccine only if those requiring it would pay for any adverse reaction that may permanently disable me or result in my death. Y’all do realize that the company that produce the vaccine are immune from civil suits resulting in personal harm, right?

Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?
I want to jump into the ICU, but I’ve been told I am over/under qualified. I’m an adult NP, and the last time I was in the ICU was 14 years ago.
