    Stitches on my finger, go in to work?

    FolksBtrippin replied to ana_96's topic in General Nursing

    What’s there to feel bad about? You were taken out of work by your doc. You’ll be back really soon. One of my nurses has been out for 6 months on medical leave. That’s a real pain. This is...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    FolksBtrippin replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Turkey that’s obtuse. Nursing scope of practice isn’t determined by the state. It is sometimes restricted by the state. You still haven’t stated what you mean by “high risk”. I smell a bot....

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    FolksBtrippin replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We talked about this Turkey. Vaccines are under nursing scope of practice. That’s why we have flu clinics. Covid clinics. Etc. You should have learned in nursing school that vaccines do not require...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    FolksBtrippin replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Turkey, high risk of what? High risk of dying from COVID? Why would they need to ask their healthcare provider if they should get the vaccine over someone who is low risk of dying of COVID? What is...

    Per policy, I am not allowed to give an opinion on whether to COVID vaccinate

    FolksBtrippin replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where do you live? You didn’t have any covid patients on ventilators? None of your patients died? Are you really an ICU nurse? I’m a psych nurse and even I had patients die. Just buried...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    FolksBtrippin replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don’t worry OP, there are plenty of places in the US where vaccines (and masking) are not valued and they have loads of dying people and not enough nurses. You can go work

    Per policy, I am not allowed to give an opinion on whether to COVID vaccinate

    FolksBtrippin replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Vaccines do not require an order in any state. That’s why we can open vaccine clinics and give vaccines to hundreds of people a day with no doctor

    FolksBtrippin replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Vaccines are really a nursing responsibility though. Vaccines do not require an order. I actually don’t think it’s appropriate to defer to the doctor on

    I got a clinic job! Thank you for all the wonderful advice on here.

    FolksBtrippin replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can keep doing this! This job or another one. Don’t worry about that. Rotating shifts in the hospital is the pit below the pit of hell. No wonder you’re doing better.

    What would you do?

    FolksBtrippin replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    No. But HR is not going to let a manager put the company in danger of a lawsuit. They will educate her about what she can and can’t say in a reference. That I’m sure of. I had a manager who...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    FolksBtrippin replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not a false sense of security. That’s like saying it’s a false sense of security to want your spouse to wear a seat belt just because you can still die in a car crash without one. This is...

    FolksBtrippin replied to Glam03's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I felt absolutely awful after the second vaccine, just a wee bit tired for the first. Like you, I also had palpitations. I did not vomit but only drank broth and tea. It was 24 hours. My son...

    What would you do?

    How to educate spouse about what I do as an NP?
