    I have been thinking about becoming a school nurse for some time now. I am a former classroom teacher and after I got my nursing license and BSN, worked in med-surg for a year. Now I am taking some...

  2. Almost fired for med error

    Ankh replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

    This is so upsetting. This is the kind of thing that creates a culture of fear and which leads many nurses to not report incidents (as I've seen so many times). Your CNO is way out of line and going...

  5. Please Advise! Interested in School Nursing

    Ankh replied to Ankh's topic in School

    Point taken and your insight is appreciated. I am certainly aware about how employers look at time spent away from nursing for parenting or any other reasons. Do you recommend additional hospital...

  8. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Ankh replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! I could not have said it better! Also thank you for saying Affordable Care Act. I was correctly taught in nursing school that the term "Obamacare" is politically charged and unprofessional....

  10. Flu Shot or Mask?

    Ankh replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify I was working in NY where the mask is mandated for those who decline flu vaccine. I do not believe in vaccination for me but was ok wearing the mask though doubtful it offered much...

    Sex ed in a really fun way is really important for this age group including sexual assault prevention/risk

  13. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I've read portions of the discussion, not all 56 pages. I decided to comment because #1 I am thrilled to have tickets to see this film later in the week and #2 I feel it is important for RNs who...

  14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't bring up autism in fact, but general vaccine safety issues and reactions. People really fixate on this link, parents and loved ones with children afflicted by autism rightfully so, but it's...

  15. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to see this film later in the week. I really find it so unprofessional to polarize the topic into pro and anti vaxxer without any discussion. There are many corporate interests embedded in...

  16. Do you see ethnic tensions at work?

    Ankh replied to princessgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Working in New York, it is critical that we have nurses, doctors, PAs, Nursing attendants, etc. from all different cultures to connect with the vast array of patients we get. It's not always about...

  17. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Ankh replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can relate to working with someone who seems off or to have an "attitude." I feel we need to give people a chance, especially when its our first time working with them. Anyone can perceive us in...

  18. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Your claim that unwillingness to be exposed to toxins in vaccines means someone shouldn't be a nurse is wrong on such a fundamental level, simply your opinion and nothing

  19. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I have to respectfully disagree with your comment that vaccine AE's are taken seriously by our FDA and federal government via VAERS and other forums. Yes, reporting systems are in place for vaccine...

  20. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, there are many environmental and food-based toxins surrounding us. To clarify, I haven't drank a sip of alcohol in 7 years and very little before then and yes, I am vegan and also do not drink...

  21. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to see greater accountability from the pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines, from providers who administer them and from the FDA and CDC - the FDA for approving vaccines,...

  22. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Spidey's mom, I appreciate your perspective about why you choose to vaccinate yourself and your family as well as the information you have provided. I am aware that formaldehyde is included in trace...

  24. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I will use the example of the flu vaccine offered by my employer - Fluzone. The ingredients I am most concerned with are the formaldehyde and thimerosal. Yes, I understand, the dose makes the poison....

  25. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Ankh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not mad at anything. I was simply pointing out that asking a yes or no question and subsequently asking for elaboration for only one of those two possible answers constitutes a form of bias built...
