I was in the hospital for 8 days with Covid pneumonia. On oxygen at 37 years old. One of my nurses flat out said she’d never get the vaccine, as she wore PPE every time she came in my room. AdventHealth is full of hardcore, religious anti-vaxxers.


ReferenceMuch2193

She is an idiot. Her bio all but says it.


Stewth

if anyone uses "mama" as part of their handle, i immediately assume they have nothing of value to contribute


ReferenceMuch2193

That and any association with an MLM business and all the syringe emojis. WTF is she peddling. Also “awake” and fired from a respectable job.


Sandrawg

What is she peddling? Ignorance and death. And Ivermectin, probably


ReferenceMuch2193

And essential oils. These people are snake oil sales folk:).

Dr_____strange

Dude being a nurse doesn't make one smart automatically. I have seen nurses arguing about which medicine to give to a patient having seizures. The medicine prescribed was phenytoin and they somehow had 2 brand names for that drug in their cart and were arguing about which one of the two is phenytoin. I mean if you look just under the brand name, in a smaller font there is the drug name. How do you even argue about that, esp when you have both the brands lying in front of you. Just take a 2 second break and look at what drug you have.


80Lashes

Nurse here. There are so many stupid and ignorant fucking nurses out there. It makes me sick and embarrassed.


Dr_____strange

As a doctor i would like to confirm that we doctors are no exceptions to this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

glad to know seven years of education and training was well spent


Thebadgamer1967

sadly as a fellow nurse I can confirm this, had many jobs before becoming a nurse and they can be some of the most stupidest ,ignorant mean aholes you'll ever work with in any industry.


_Pawer8

Maybe being stupid should prevent you from being a nurse. Just a thought


Dr_____strange

I think being stupid should stop you from working in healthcare at all. Like in my internship there was a case where we were on rounds and an admitted patient had severe hypoglycemia, i mean so severe that the glucometer wouldn't even show the numbers just the letts "Lo" which means it was below 20mg/dl and the resident asked the nurses to get a 25% dextrose from the pharmacy. It would have taken at least 10-15 minutes even if one ran there all the way. Both the residents didn't even had the thought to put the patient on 5% or 10% dextrose both of which they had. I am intern had to be the one to snatch a bottle from the nurse's cart and change her current fluid to 10% and then bring a 25% from our chamber. Yes somehow we had a bunch of iv fluids and medicines lying in our chamber as they were bought there to show it to students and then we forgot to place them back.


stomp224

Many years ago, I worked in a student advice department for a college that specialised in teacher and medical training. The job was mostly advising people who wished to complain about their grades or appeal disciplinary actions. The two years I spent in that job completely broke my faith in both professions. Unfortunately our chief advisor was *really* good at her job and there are some people that have no right being remotely near the public are out there as fully qualified teachers or nurses. I often lie awake at night thinking about a couple of cases, and if they are still in their chosen professions.


PointingOutFucktards

I like how they tell us how hard it was to get into nursing lol.


Dr_____strange

I don't know how hard it can be to get into nursing but i can tell you that they do have to work pretty hard after becoming a nurse.


PointingOutFucktards

Well that’s a choice isn’t it?


Dr_____strange

>Well that’s a choice isn’t it? Sure it it. Like no one is grabbing someone by the throat and forcing them to be a nurse. If i make a choice then i should be ready to accept the consequences that come with it {at least the expected consequences}.


sighborg90

Not a nurse, but married to one. Nursing degrees, especially RN and above are no joke. Especially the RN, which is an associates’ with the course load most BA/BS’. We both went back to school at the same time, and her RN was degrees of magnitude more work than my pre-law BS degree.


ShoulderIllustrious

Used to work in the hospital pharmacy back in the day. Saw a few nurses huddled around asking each other, what's the answer to x. They're taking a math assessment, to see if they know how to figure out how many mls to give, if the order calls out mgs and it comes in a solution. My brother in Christ, that they couldn't figure out how to divide correctly is very scary.


bigSTUdazz

All deserved snark for this loony toon aside...I'm glad YOU are ok. :)


No-Giraffe-8096

Thank you so much ❤️


OptimizedEarl

The history suggests not taking vax is at least valid argument


knighth1

Pretty sure when she says fired into freedom is because she was fired for pushing her beliefs


Meddling-Kat

100% this!


Idrisdancer

At least she got fired


RexDraco

Maybe, wouldn't explain all the others though.


knighth1

No the rest of the stuff explains why she got fired from the medical field


CHobbes_

I was going to try to find out which NICU she works in. I'm circuitously associated with NICU life and was going to report her to her local medical board. This account alone is worthy a review from the nursing board of her hospital.


Sun-Anvil

Okay, I was wondering wtf that meant.


isfrying

That's what I assumed (and hoped.)


PreOpTransCentaur

What kind of MLM do we think she's shilling? It's definitely not, "How to Make Friends and Correctly Use Apostrophes: A Beginner's Guide to Punctuation."

bigSTUdazz

Gloomy_Industry8841

bellasincognito

LMAO


Leather_Network4743

Well, she was “fired into freedom”, so likely not taking care of anymore babies… legally speaking, at least.


Gloomy_Industry8841

Is she a midwife for home births now, I wonder??


la_winky

She would definitely find some folks on this same wavelength. And get lots of referrals. Times are wonky these days. I just wanted to defend my midwife (many years ago) who was not like this. All went well, I trusted her and she was “farm strong”. That baby was comin’ out.


Gloomy_Industry8841

I absolutely support midwives. My mother was a midwife in 1950s London. Similar to Call the Midwife (she didn’t like that show because there were a lot of mistakes in it). But she was highly trained and super professional.


la_winky

Midwifery is a noble profession. Hats off to your mother.


Gloomy_Industry8841

💝💝💝🥹 I was blessed having the mother I did. Thank you 🌸🌸🌸


JohnnyShams

Until hospitals take a stance on employees views surrounding vaccines she will continue to carry a license. What will compromise her license is telling a patient under her care not to get a vaccine while citing personal beliefs. She’s restricted by the board of nursing as to what medical advice she can give when it comes to treating a patient. Why won’t hospitals lean a certain way you may ask? Because then they’d have to lean a way on abortion, religion and the thousand other ridiculous personal beliefs that get in the way of medical care. Hospitals will let people (I say let, I mean allow) people to die because they need a blood transfusion but won’t get one because of religious views. What’s the solution they came up with?


bellasincognito

Of course, I agree with you. But there’s no way I’m letting someone this stupid touch my newborn


JohnnyShams

Fun fact: You can fire a nurse at anytime. You are never obligated to have your or the care of your loved ones provided to you by someone you don’t trust. Just say you want to speak to the charge nurse or on shift supervisor and raise your concerns. The hospitals want your money and won’t let a silly thing like a nurse get in the way of them nickel and diming you.


throwRA786482828

You can ask for a change of any medical staff and we are ethically and legally obligated to oblige *within reason*. Meaning… say a hospital has 2 Asian pharmacists and you don’t wanna deal with either… well the next best thing is we tell you where to go to seek advice from the closest appropriate setting. And we facilitate that to the best of our ability. But if you’re bleeding out and you don’t want the African surgeon or nurse or whatever to treat you, tough shit. Consent is considered automatic/ given in these scenarios.

jackfaire

My daughter had a strawberry patch when she was born. My ex-wife's step mom was a nurse who told us this, very common, thing was 100% for sure cancer and had us rushing my daughter to the hospital only for the doctor to be all "yeah that's common" and have a "how the hell is she a nurse" look on his face.


Panama_Scoot

Nurses aren’t trained to prescribe or identify illness. They are trained to treat patients—manage IVs and meds; care & clean for patients; etc.  I would always trust a nurse to be the best position in the hospital to place an IV, but I am not trusting them to decide what’s in the IV bag ever. 


lynypixie

Seasoned floor nurses will often make « suggestions » to the doctors (but make it seems like it was the doctor’s idea) I am a CNA. The only « suggestions » I usually make is what type of cream a patient needs to help with dry skin or bed sores. When patients ask me medical questions (often), I tell them that I am not equipped to answer them. Even when I know the answer. It is illegal for me to give medical advices.


Panama_Scoot

Thank you for your approach to nursing!  I have no doubt that seasoned nurses have a wealth of knowledge that is absolutely crucial to doctors, and that good nurses provide crucial data that can become a diagnosis.    But they aren’t trained in diagnosing (as you know), so the ability to diagnose comes from years of practice observations that apply well with inductive reasoning. 


lynypixie

I used to work in nephrology, and we once had a rotating nurse (the ones that go everywhere in the hospital to replace the sick leaves. I am not English so I am not sure of the term) try to sell us detox shake. In nephrology. Where we litteraly detox our patients with expensive and highly precise machines and, you know, actual science!


Panama_Scoot

That’s amazing.  I have a family member that is an internist at a major hospital. This family member has quite a few similar stories—one that I remember off hand is the nurse that would regularly second-guess doctors behind their backs to the patients. That nurse did not last long apparently.  Detoxing cures always give me a chuckle though—yes this lemon juice mixture is going to magically solve all your problems…

During the height of COVID, I had some nurse friends come out as huge anti-vaxxers. It surprised me.


giskardwasright

The pandemic was a weird time to work in healthcare. I learned a lot about my cowowrkers that i wish i didn't know.


ReferenceMuch2193

I think since Trump and social media we have all learned alot that should have stayed hidden.


anotherstraydingo

Same. A few of the doctors and the nurses I worked with came out spouting anti-vax and anti-covid precaution stuff. The shit that scares me is one is an Oncologist and the other is an Anaesthetist. The Anaesthetist bought a bunch of "studies" in and dumped them in the tea room when our facility had a mask mandate. I was very close to dumping them but he was a prick so I didn't want to catch his wrath.


Autronaut69420

Y'know I had a friend in 1989 who was a nursing student. One day soon after we met we were hanging out and she said " you know you chose those parents for a reason". I was bitching about *my* crazy mum. I was like OK a bit nutty. Then she went on a rant about how "they" were keeping all the secrets of ayuvedic medicine from the general.public as a conspiracy to keep people sick. And my area is stacked with R Steiner belivers as well, many of whom are nurses or midwives. So it has been there a while.

In Flint during the pandemic, there was a technician whose job was to process those early slow Covid tests. She also publicly maintained that Covid didn't exist and these people all just had the flu. I've always wondered how many Covid patients were misdiagnosed as a result of her handling their tests.

Make-TFT-Fun-Again

Speaking as a nurse, you dont actually learn a lot about pathology in basic nursing school. You learn how to execute treatments and taking care of people- something which doctors tbh can very much suck at. For example, some of them have studied for 10 years but have placed a catheter in a patient only once in their lives. Also, you would much rather have a nurse take your blood than a doctor. Anyway point is, nursing is a hard profession but nurses are not doctors for a reason. There are also several educational layers, not every nurse is created equal.

This isn't uncommon and it's no different to doctors that don't believe in mental health issues and the likes.


gaming4good

You can say that about any profession. There will be bad apples in every single one. The problem arises when there larger portion in that profession. Hopefully as you receive more education you learn critically thinking skills and things like this are substantially less likely. I work in the healthcare profession and for some reason people really believe what nurses say even though they are not very educated in the science of anything. The shit that comes out of their mouths is shocking sometimes. I don’t know a single doc that doesn’t believe in mental health. Not saying you are wrong you are 100% correct and there are some wild beliefs out there. I just see it much more frequently with certain professions.

To my knowledge, he still hasn't provided any evidence, and the WHO still refutes his claim because, again, no evidence.
