  1. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My bold. Thanks for taking the time to post all of that, but in the interest in saving some space I stopped bolding about halfway through. Anyway, I take it you remember nursing school and what you...

  2. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yup, have to run her everyday. Rain or shine. And today, it was raining,

  3. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1) Please, show me how I can easily find both the precautions/contraindications for flu vaccines in the link provided in the OP's post? Maybe easily is the wrong word. Basically, what I mean is those...

  4. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My argument is that the program as a whole needs more transparency and should be looked at to identify vulnerable populations. You obviously disagree as you've stated that the research says they are...

  5. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She's beautiful!!! Why is she so famous? We have a vizsla, bought her to be a therapy dog to our

  6. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not trying to be snarky, but it's anecdotal report like this that's usually looked down upon when presented in debates such as this. That said, I value what you are saying here as a professional and I...

  7. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That wouldn't happen to be a vizsla as your avatar picture, would it? Well, I say this much for you, you're certainly consistent. You went right ahead and quoted both LBRB (lol) and Snopes (lol),...

  8. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Loopy-de-loo, loopy-de-loo, that's what your circular way of debate makes me do. The guy (Thompson), confirmed statistically significant data was purposefully omitted. No amount of dancing by Snopes,...

  9. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can't? I think challenging "consensus science" is about as scientific as one can get. Want to accept consensus of something like mathematics, be my guest. But to not question research, especially...

  10. The flu vaccine & GBS

    Nurseworks replied to emtb2rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's a very closed-minded and unscientific thing to say. The whole point of understanding X is to continually study. That includes both implications as well as outcomes. I get the flu vaccine every...

  11. Best men's watch for male nurses

    Nurseworks replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have that in orange, the Neo Monster, the original Monster is a bit different. Either way, it's a great value, especially for an automatic. The only problem I have with it as a work watch is that...

  12. Does anyone have any recommended NCLEX style practice questions

    Nurseworks replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    I have Saunders and Silvestri, which are both very good and can sometimes provide a better overview than a textbook. My companion book to the Davis textbook was also pretty handy. That said, I just...

  13. Working out on schedule!

    Nurseworks replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I get up every morning (well, most mornings, heh) at 5AM and hit the gym before work or school. Weather permitting, I'll do 20-30 miles on my bike. That goes for days off as well as work/school days....

  14. Haywire! Some Uncommon Causes of Status Epilepticus in Children

    Nurseworks replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Like yourself, I only mention it due to my familiarity with it. Unfortunately, our daughter, who is developmentally delayed, suffers from catamenial seizures. They are intractable despite her being...

  15. Haywire! Some Uncommon Causes of Status Epilepticus in Children

    Nurseworks replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Excellent article, thanks for sharing it. I'd add another somewhat rare one to the list; catamenial seizures. These can sometimes manifest themselves with the onset of puberty, even in the absence of...

  16. Forensic Nursing (FN)

    Nurseworks replied to sirI's topic in Forensic

    Sorry for the thread necro, but it is kind of appropriate given the subject. As a former LEO (correction), I was understandably excited when this sub-specialty was made known to me. What job...

  17. Best men's watch for male nurses

    Nurseworks replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My regular work watch is a Luminox BO, but I'll occasionally throw on my Omega

  18. Venting, majority of class did poorly on test

    Nurseworks replied to nobodywarnedme's topic in General Students

    We started out our semester this way as well, unfortunately. This instructor is new to teaching lecture as well. I believe out of the 80+ students in the course, all but 3 failed the first exam,...

  19. Tips on how to study throughout nursing school?

    Nurseworks replied to mommycruz3's topic in General Students

    Really concentrate on the nursing interventions. I'm not saying that you shouldn't know the patho stuff, but knowing how to act on things in a nursing way was the hardest thing for me to adapt to....

  20. Studying tips / Nursing school student

    Nurseworks replied to nursetobewalker2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my second semester. I had a hard time with the nursing aspect of fundamentals, less so with the patho. My suggestion is to read a book like Saunders NCLEX as an accompaniment to your textbook,...

  21. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're right, I missed the criminal part. So short of their willfully ignoring safety and/or poisoning someone, they are in the clear. Terrific. Nice work if you can get it, don't you agree? Vaccines...

  22. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not going to bother with the rest as we're at a loggerhead on the subject as a whole. One thing I will say is that pharmaceutical companies are not subject to any litigation with regard to...

  23. No more glucose checks by CNAs/PCTs

    Nurseworks replied to Paws2people's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work (also in NYC), CNAs cannot perform finger-sticks but the PCTs and MAs can. Haven't heard anything about any changes to this policy. As for alcohol pads, the switch to chlorhexidine for...

  24. Vaccine Conspiracy Theorists More Likely To See Conspiracy Everywhere

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As big a fan of his that you care, I would think that you'd be able to reference something in one of his books, particularly the one with "autism" in the title, where he talks about treating kiddos...

  25. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, it's a conflict of interest that should be declared and accounted for when he talks about the subject as a whole (but never is in almost every interview I've seen him give). It's a CoI that should...
