    Mandatory flu vaccines

    CBlover replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=enuf_already;8689882 If you work with a lot of at-risk patients, do you think it's okay to risk giving them the flu by not wearing a mask? What if a patient exposes you to the flu? No mask,...

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    CBlover replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    We're also required to get the flu vaccine. I don't think it should be mandatory either. I hate shots

    Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    CBlover replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great thread. For me personally, it's not ALL about the money, but the money is a very important part. I've been working at the same hospital for almost 5 years and from what I'm told, I...

    CBlover replied to SarahLizzyLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's true. But there's a lot of things you CAN do that aren't necessarily what you SHOULD do. Some people just love to argue for the fun of

    Tattoos and nursing

    CBlover replied to Adamson94's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It largely depends on the clientele and culture, age, etc, of the patients you're dealing with IMO. I don't know for sure, but a 95 year old little lady may not appreciate tattoos in excess, but a...

    Diabetic Alert Dog at work in Hospital

    CBlover replied to Brookieakorsie's topic in General Nursing

    As a side note, I have a hard time with therapy dogs, which roam some hospitals. I know there's gobs of research, but it still seems germy to

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    CBlover replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nursing student or an RN? I completely disagree. It is not always necessary to wear gloves when changing a pillowcase. If they are THAT immunocompromised then we should wear gloves when...

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    CBlover replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    To add to how appalled some of you are that I would not hug an HIV+ pt, I don't generally hug my pt's period. What do yall do? Just go around loving on strangers with diseases? I don't hug patients...

    I am not an ICU nurse, so I haven't experienced nearly all you have with critically ill pt's, but I have experienced high stress, tense, life vs. death situations with pt's and I cannot say that I was...

    If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    CBlover replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Ewww...That's a tough one. I don't regret the career path I chose since in nursing there are so many avenues you can take. I have often thought it would be neat to obtain a law degree in addition to...

    Why did you want to be a nurse?

    CBlover replied to cantgowrongwithjwong's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to be a pediatrician but know I'm not smart enough. I wanted to help people since I am a people person. I also wanted a decent job that I figured there was a decent market for, and I wanted...

    CBlover replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    I don't treat them different. I treat me different. And I'm sorry to have to admit that. I should know better, but I can't help it. For example, an individual without any of these bloodborne diseases...

    If I hate being a med tech, will I hate being a nurse?

    CBlover replied to iheartsephora1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Honestly, the idea of med techs has always blown my mind. Here we as RNs have to receive years of training to pass a pill, but the med techs can do the same with a mere certification! It's no surpise...

    Maternity discrimination

    CBlover replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone has money growing on trees. It is a precious time, but it's also important to be able to put food on the table. I hope it works out well for you OP. I'm actually in the exact same
