  1. Vaccine Conspiracy Theorists More Likely To See Conspiracy Everywhere

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Really? He has decades of education and research on autism? Can you show me something to substantiate that? Has he ever even treated an individual with autism? Indeed it is, but I was not talking...

  2. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I care as it denotes a clear bias for him when discussing the topic. It's called a conflict of interest. You're constant defense of that pearl is bordering on irrational/fanboism. That his vaccine...

  3. Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good to know my proffering an opinion on a subject is considered by you to be rabbling. I fail to see why I need to provide any scientific evidence for what I have already commented on as there is...

  4. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Generally I read what's available to me on PubMed and the like, usually in response to what I hear reported in a media outlet. I try to apply critical thinking from there on in and leave my personal...

  5. Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That you posit that this is even remotely the same argument is disconcerting. Right person, right dose, right route. Or are vaccines exempt from that nursing adage? Statistically so is air travel as...

  6. Vaccine Conspiracy Theorists More Likely To See Conspiracy Everywhere

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again with Offit. I'm confused, is he a pediatrician, vaccine multimillionaire, autism expert or all of the above. Is this a redirection to avoid anything about the validity of the Danish studies...

  7. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, he doesn't. He routinely parrots dogmatic stances and is prone to hyperbole. If you're as well-read on the subject as you seem to be, you'll privately acknowledge what I am referring to and leave...

  8. Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm very unfamiliar with many practice standards as I am just a student. That said, what you quoted is stated quite clearly on the CDC site. I find that sort of approach to be counter-intuitive when...

  9. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Really haven't given it much thought. Do you have a suggestion? Do you feel that a biased source can be

  10. Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why the crankiness? I'm trying to engage in honest debate on the subject. And in return this is what I get? Almost all of those name "allergy to a vaccine component", a pretty vague catch-all. How...

  11. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While he certainly is educated, I find it curious that you feel he's a credible source given his massive conflict of interest as a vaccine inventor. Scratch that, an unbiased, credible source. Clearly...

  12. Vaccine Conspiracy Theorists More Likely To See Conspiracy Everywhere

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As far as I know, the research available has multiple issues, including massive CoIs on the part of one of the researchers. Apparently he absconded with a million or two of CDC money. That sounds...

  13. Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Presumably that means you would also require that a standard of practice would be established so as to identify those individuals prior to their being required to adhere to the current vaccination...

  14. Interview: Paul Offit, M.D.

    Nurseworks replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Paul Offit? Seriously? Maybe I should trot out some Jenny McCarthy or Wakefield interviews for the sake of unbiased

  15. A little anxiety applying for Nursing school as an older male

    Nurseworks replied to Magnicious's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am in the second semester of my ADN at the age of 45. I retired from a 22 year job as a LEO and became a CNA, started working at a hospital and haven't looked back. Go for

  16. Buffets in emesis basins?

    Nurseworks replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Drink some iced tea or apple juice out of a urinal and let the fun ensue. Good times, good

  17. Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    Nurseworks replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I decided to pursue nursing due to the significant health problems my autistic daughter suffers from. She is non-verbal and has relied upon my wife and I to not only advocate on her behalf, but also...

  18. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Nurseworks replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Finished up a 22 year career in law enforcement, became a CNA and am currently in my second nursing semester at the age of 45. Bit of a shock getting into the classroom again after such a long time...

  19. Work a hard job as a PCT, or stay at my cushy jobs?

    Nurseworks replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in General Students

    I became an aide with an eye towards 1) seeing if I could cut it when it came to direct patient care and 2) to see if I would like it. Happily, the answer to both was a resounding yes and it is what...

  20. Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?

    Nurseworks replied to Murse Wannabe's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Like others have said, the only issues I come across are from female patients that are a bit chaste about having a man tend to anything they deem private. I encounter the same thing while working as a...

  21. Time management; class, family, exercise...etc

    Nurseworks replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Here's my take as an adult (45) who has returned to school to become an RN; pace yourself and prioritize on a sliding scale. Like you, I enjoy cycling, but since the weather in the NE has been awful...
