Good Grief. Why does Misinformation keep going around? Well, here is one example.

A little holiday message from me:
Wishing my diverse and vibrant nursing family a beautiful season, whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, or simply the end of another year! This holiday season, know that your essential, often unseen work is valued. I would like to take a moment and recognize your worth as a nurse! I would like to acknowledge you and the responsiblities you take on every day. I would like to validate the dedication you bring to caring for others (not only patients, but families and colleagues, and our healthcare system). I woud like to identify some of the attributes of a nurse that you bring to the table, ranging from advocacy, expertise and compassion, to holding up integrity, trust and ethics, to continuing to learn new things, and somehow you remain strong and resilient through it all. I hope you find many moments of connection, strength, and peace, and that the light of your service continues to shine bright to bring hope, care, and comfort to others. Happy Holidays.

THIS IS WORKPLACE VIOLENCE. This Social Worker was stabbed to death on the hospital unit. Healthcare workers are 5 times more the victim than any other worker. It has to stop.

A 31-year-old social worker who was stabbed multiple times in an attack at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital died Saturday, police said.

This is beyond unacceptable. It is criminal in my opinion.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, ProPublica published a devastating investigation revealing how Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother from San Antonio, died after being repeatedly denied medical care under Texas’s extreme abortion ban. In response, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28), author of the Women’s Health Pr...

Looks like the Health Human Services is at it again! I will personally, and as a nurse, say this, that going from Evidence-Based decision making to Individual-Based decision making sounds like a very bad idea to me. I will also say that I trust the American Academy of Pediatrics over this committee that is being influenced by RFK that is not a doctor or pediatrician or vaccine expert. PS: this was tried before up to the early 1990s and saw approximately 20,000 children per year get the infection. :-(.
Our Jefferson County Public Health addresses how the ACIP Hepatitis B Recommendation Changes Leaves Newborns at Risk.
They stated that the birth dose has prevented millions of hepatitis B infections, serious illness and child deaths in the U.S. for more than 30 years. Nothing presented to ACIP shows any evidence to justify undoing a recommendation that works and has kept infants safe. What we know about the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine when given at birth remains the same. Itis the safest, most effective way to make sure that newborns don’t get a deadly infection in their first hours of life.
Hepatitis B is a serious infection and many who have it don’t realize it. It spreads through blood and bodily fluids, including during childbirth and close household or childcare contacts, not just through unsafe needles or s*x. Without early protection, more children will get this dangerous infection, and some will face lifelong complications like liver failure and liver cancer. Many who get the disease will die.

For my friends that take medications or vitamins (or have to help others with their meds. (Safety recommended only in a house that has NO small children...who can get into things)
Pill bottles with a push down tab can be hard to open when you don't have the strength, as can the push down and turn caps. On the top of these caps is another side, so open those bottles and flip the cap around to make it an easy screw off cap. (See before and after pics) Vitamin bottles that you have to push down and turn (I don't have a photo), you can remove the outer cap by pulling it off.
Any questions, let me know. Also let me know if this was helpful.

Every month, (as NFK President) I send a message to my nurse group and put it here for all nurses to be able to read, as it applies to them too.
