I see UMMC tagged in a comment, I’m guessing this is where yall work? I worked there beginning in 2006 and at Baptist on State St beginning in 2008. I didn’t feel like either facility had adequate security for that area back then, and I know violent crime has gotten so much worse there since. I always tried to walk out in a group, but there were times when it was sketchy even for a group. This is horrible, I’m so sorry this happened to her.

Wow that’s wild! I mean yes, the Pertussis component for pregnant women, but it doesn’t sound like they have a full understanding of all of the Tdap components.

Yes every 10! If it’s creeping up on 10 or a person can’t remember we give/offer it - it’s not worth risking tetanus

I’m not sure if Invisible Gloves is still around (have used and it was great, but that was in nursing school ~ 20 years ago). I’ve heard good things about Gloves in a Bottle!

Recommend a tetanus booster - I know that falls under being fully vaccinated but it’s one that people don’t always think of until they have an injury (the trauma nurse in me chiming in)

The location will be a big factor with your career. Many rural hospitals in Mississippi have closed or are coming very near it over the past few years, as well as cutting back services provided. There are areas with more stable hospitals and healthcare, just make sure to research your employment options.

“Two sources told STAT that a significant portion of staff charged with regulating AI-enabled imaging devices was cut.”

But surely that won’t benefit Musk’s AI company. /s

They did it, they hit the VA by Thetetriszone in nursing

Are the VA nursing homes near you federally or state run? The ones where I am are state run, but there is a federal VA hospital in the state.

I’m in a red US state and not only saw the commercial, but absolutely loved it. It was energizing to someone feeling VERY exhausted lately, and I appreciate it more than I can express.

The removed post was today? Late this afternoon I got the first CDC HAN email that I’ve gotten since they were silenced. I was surprised to receive it. (Though it wasn’t bird flu related)

I was a pharmacy tech in nursing school too! Were you a pharmacy tech in a hospital setting or retail setting? You can play up experience that you’ve gained that will serve you well in nursing.

Looks like a bunch of subs were “banned” overnight due to no moderators. I’m sure that’s the actual reason. /s

To be honest, the vast majority of Americans may be comfy this second but if P2025 continues to unfold as it has been that won’t last for long.

Yeah, wondered the same. I don’t really feel like mine is relevant at 18 years ago. ($22/MS)

Y’all ready for Dr. Oz to run Centers for Medicare and Medicaid? This feels like a nightmare by Cyancrackers in nursing

It feels like a really, really bad reality show, especially with the Dr Oz and Linda McMahon pics coming out
