    CuriousMe replied to Ghostmedic's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just wanted to make sure you knew that both the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 shot are available thimerisol free (they're in single dose

  2. Mandatory Flu Shots

    CuriousMe replied to Ghostmedic's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So you're doing your preceptorship, as in you're a senior in nursing school and this is your integrative practicum? If so, I think you have even less of a leg to stand on. At least by us, we are in...

  5. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    CuriousMe replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    do you feel the annual flu shot is rushed into production every year? this shot is exactly like the annual flu shot...with one difference. the annual flu shot has three split virus strains. the h1n1...

  6. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think that anyone is saying nurses will be the ones spreading it to everyone....we, or at least I am saying that the hospital has an astronomically higher percentage of folks who have a good...

  7. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How about it benefits medically fragile people (can't imagine her husband is the only one). As many (if not all in some units) patients in the hospital are medically fragile, I think it makes a...

  8. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    I did say reading ability due to time constraints, so, I think that addresses what you said. If not, my apologies in misrepresenting you that wasn't my intention. I don't think that having students...

  9. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Ok, so below is the last bit your wrote about the topic. I'm disagreeing with this statement. I'm saying that there's no way that pre-admit testing and interviewing a prospective student will...

  10. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    I am in a hurry, but I'm not misunderstanding you, I'm disagreeing with you. I'm saying that I don't think that preadmit testing and interviews will necessarily predict success in nursing school....

  11. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    I disagree, preadmit testing shows that a student can succeed on standardized tests...not that they'll be a successful nursing student. In the same vein, interviews display their interviewing skills,...

  12. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Well yeah, but there are a couple bumps in the road for that statement. Education isn't a passive process, the student has an input into the process as well and as I don't know any school admissions...

  13. A Link To Some Facts on the H1N1 Vaccine Controversy

    CuriousMe replied to Scrub Monkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ZenaBethune, You've misunderstood me in a couple ways. The first factual ones are the easiest to address. I don't have an ADN in nursing, I'm a 2nd year student (a junior), pursuing a BS majoring in...

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Uhhmm....this is starting to sound like a recurring issue for you, I wish you luck with it. Do you know know who folks are, that you've been involved with, outside of the hospital as well? Or is...

    CuriousMe replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Disaster Preparation

  18. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, to folks who work in clinical areas and aren't planning on getting the H1N1 (or are fighting a mandate). I'm curious (truly, I don't understand and would love to hear different perspectives) if...

  19. A Link To Some Facts on the H1N1 Vaccine Controversy

    CuriousMe replied to Scrub Monkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

  20. A Link To Some Facts on the H1N1 Vaccine Controversy

    CuriousMe replied to Scrub Monkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd be interested to see some research published in a reputable, peer reviewed journal that supports your suppositions ZenaBethune. It's hard to take websites like "VacTruth" seriously. I wasn't...

  22. Will I be a "full time" student

    CuriousMe replied to O'Ryan's topic in General Students

    My understanding is that each program/school decides what is full time for their program. Your school does notify 3rd parties if you are or aren't full time (there's a national clearinghouse...

    CuriousMe replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, I will absolutely be getting the N1N1 shot, for multiple reasons: - I have asthma, which can unfortunately become very brittle, very fast with respiratory infections. I don't just get cold's...
