  1. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is no forcing, you do enjoy that melodrama....Nazi Germany? Really? Way to minimize a horrible moment in history. Getting vaccinated is a condition of employment, not a condition of living...

  2. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What happened last year is that the pandemic strain (that was making everyone ill) was identified after production had started on the seasonal vaccine.....that's why they made a stand alone

  3. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    CuriousMe replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Who said it's a question of bothering someone during their work hours or AN? Couldn't you ask a nurse to meet at their convenience outside of their hours on the floor? If they're busy and you don't...

  4. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    According to the CDC there is an H1N1 component to each year's seasonal flu vaccine. What does the seasonal influenza vaccine protect against? Each year, the seasonal influenza vaccine contains three...

  5. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't there usually an H1N1 strain in the seasonal flu vaccine? There was last year, it just wasn't the novel strain that was a problem last year. Also, isn't shingles

  6. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    CuriousMe replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    While I may be older than dirt, I'm also changing careers from technology to nursing. I'm by no means anti-technology. However, an interview should be a conversation.....not a form letter. If the...

  7. Confused about what to do with my life!

    CuriousMe replied to alrightypewriter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd definitely try and shadow a pharmacist before making this call. While the course of study might be what you're interested in....the job itself might not

  8. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    CuriousMe replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you BlackJade. I can see why a student would want to do an interview via AN, basically the nurse (interviewee) writes it all out themselves. I can't imagine that is what the Professor...

  9. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Civil rights? Really? A bit melodramatic aren't we? Can you please tell me which constitutional amendment deals with flu shots? Oh and most states have vaccination requirements for health care...

  10. HUGE pay cut?

    CuriousMe replied to Thor77's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm confused, you said you applied for the job but were not accepted....so what job are you asking

  11. American University of Antigua School of Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to God's love's topic in School, College Programs

    Amen!

  12. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had the seasonal flu and H1N1 shots last year. I had the seasonal flu shot this year (the shots are attenuated virus). I had a minimal, standard reaction both years (my arm was sore for the...

  13. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hmmmm....haven't heard much. My class gave each other flu shots two weeks ago. I had far less of a reaction then usual (my arm was a bit achy, but it was gone the next

  14. Would you cut your hair for your career?

    CuriousMe replied to Claritee's topic in General Nursing

    I think just ignoring the dress code and "hoping" no one one notices is really unprofessional, and bordering on childish. I worked at a job that included a dress code of no braids. There were always...

  15. annoying lab instructor

    CuriousMe replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    But the response to the OP wasn't nasty. They just said it didn't look like instructor was picking on them and gave a few other ideas of what could have been going

  16. annoying lab instructor

    CuriousMe replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Sounds to me like you're over reacting. She may be your instructor, but she's also a nurse. If she noticed that you didn't look like you felt well and was asking if you were OK....how is that a bad...

  17. Becoming A LPN While In RN Program

    CuriousMe replied to Ccutie515's topic in General Students

    Each state has different requirements of how nursing programs are run. My guess is that unless you're in a program that is designed to prepare you first to be an LPN, then an RN....you won't be...

  18. To own a pet or not while in nursing school...

    CuriousMe replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    There's also a difference with two folks to share the work of dog

  19. accelerated bsn program with few pre-reqs required, and no previous bsn

    CuriousMe replied to KK4YOU's topic in General Students

    I'm not really sure what you're looking for. None of the accelerated BSN programs I've seen require a previous BSN....who would get two BSN's? Any of the Accelerated BSN programs I've seen, do...

  20. American University of Antigua School of Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to God's love's topic in School, College Programs

    New York would have no authority over a closing a school in Antigua and why would Antigua officials care, they don't care that Americans are going there to get a worthless education. Caveat...

  21. inbetween sizes

    CuriousMe replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You could buy the bigger size and bring them to a seamstress to get altered. It likely wouldn't be very expensive, and your scrubs would actually

  22. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

    CuriousMe replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    Uhm, wouldn't that be a 10%

  23. Pharm class.

    CuriousMe replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    In my BS program we take pharmacology I and pharmacology II, each three credits,during the program. We also were responsible to know the drugs for any giving condition in our nursing

  24. Ideas for community nursing clinicals

    CuriousMe replied to sparklegirl_007's topic in General Students

    Our class is all over this term: --leading a project to increase childhood vaccinations --last year, a group partnered with a local community clinic and opened a health clinic for the homeless...

  25. Midterm in clinical!! Im sooo sad!!

    CuriousMe replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    I would take the feedback given to me, and start to brainstorm strategies to address what your nursing Prof told you. I'd then bring those strategies to either your nursing Prof or another that you...
