  3. Online Certification Courses

    Hematocrit13 replied to Hematocrit13's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks. The BBB was unable to help. HI, No, I never found any that were exclusively online. I did find a training that had a large online component with an in-person kind of check off scenario. The...

  9. Nutrition Counseling in Nursing Practice

    Hematocrit13 replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Specialties

    But this man died due to poor medical (mal)practice not poor nutritional advice, no? The advice he got regarding nutrition, from the little we have been presented with, seemed pretty good. Added up, I...

    Hematocrit13 replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Specialties

  12. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The question I have, is that Medicare is not free. It's pretty bare bones on its own and supplemental is all but mandatory. I admit that I don't understand everything about Medicare, but

  13. Seattle is Dying

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Great comments here! I watched the program, and many of the issues and questions raised by the commenters are in fact addressed in the program. The music is maybe overdone and maybe too ominous, but I...

  14. Seattle is Dying

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just getting to the part where they're comparing Seattle to Rhode Island. No doubt this problem has a few factors, but at least initially, I'm skeptical of the comparison if for no other reason...

  15. Seattle is Dying

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, yes, I did and have dug in a bit further. What I was trying to detangle in the part I added in my post above ("ETA") was why we have not been giving the series to an adult who presents to us...

  18. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for that information about the vaccine being a toxoid, that fits the pieces into place. If as you say, "An unvaccinated adult should receive a series of 3 doses of tetorifice toxoid, aka...

  19. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Hematocrit13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hematocrit13 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Great post, would love to hear some follow up, and wondering what you might think is different at your institution than at those responders who don't (always) feel the same way. My initial thought...
